Personal Gargoyle's for hire

by Aaron Howard

Here I am..
Your personal gargoyle for hire..
another whimsical gaze into another’s eyes..
I could distill it all down and leave you with something clean and shiny, but...
not… is what you think..
you want the seedy side..
the side that has shown its teeth to life..
you want the darker, dying leaves on the ground..
You want the best parts of humanity, rotted away to the bones..
And even with that, you still don’t grasp...at the straws to know the answers.

You lost a long time ago.. when you fell out of that sack of fluids and gasped for cold breath in a colder world...
You lost when you agreed to come to this place of us all..
You are as I… lost in this world without no one to guide us….but ourselves.

WEll for a beginning it is great. Gargoyles have often sparked the imagination. You paint a dark yet evocative picture of them here.
