. . .so I will haunt. . .

Missing image
Dashed cages
Sacrificials freed
soar on ebony soft wings
Black death lurks for me

Would you boil my bones
To feast a lifetime?

Tides turn
in
nighttime skies

I've found my
favorite dress. . .
devote winds
I call tonight.
Gods answered
my dying prayers.

Etched inside the label
I've sewn reasons to
the tattered hem, 
Light a match,
I curse the dark!
I dance forever
on the graves
of those who
murdered me,
It tore my
family apart.

    WOW!! this blew me away.. you did a great justice to this prompt. this is filled with anger, sadness, and the list can go on. all of these emotions rolled into one, they come out strong. yes just another lame excuse and the sad thing is they do get away with it at times.
    what goes around come around.

    you've done an excellent job by bringing her to life as well as digging deeper into the pic and bringing our her story as well.

    excellent job with both the prompt and your poem

    good luck

    That fucking sucks at how many men have committed such an atrocity as that...A deeper infatuation with blood lust and power, than the love and bond of a man and woman...Abuse of any kind is sickening, but to kill.....You portrayed this well in your poem, Jin...
