Eulogy Twisted Musically

by Jody Pratt

My palette;
Empyrean she-devil haunted to death.
Now a free spirit; drinking and astral colliding.
A life not lived in a day; an unfortunate wealth,
a sort of lucid sanity turned off like a light switch.
Only a dot in time; vicious curriculum vitae.

Sleeping setting;
peace.
Reconcile.
Resurgent;
sleepless nights.

Now a leaf in a relentless wind!
Twisting musically, a sonata cantata;
so we decided to dance down dusky trails,
and upon a throne of roses
like a couple of crazy raging monkey's in candlelight;
a rhapsody upon eyes!
The illiterates of calculated measures
misplaced in Love's infinity;
a soulful antithesis.

Frosty faces display smiles in
a finale of excruciating bliss.

Author's Note: Inspired by a poem JJ did using only titles from existing poems. I attempted to use only titles from poems I have on pathetic, which I used all but one. Then I scaled back a bit so the poem would make more sense. :)

love the images, especially "like a couple of crazy raging monkey's in candlelight;" this one is still stuck in my head and I don't doubt will find it's way to my dreams tonight
