These battlements surround me
broken mortar,crumbling stone.
Fissures widen with time,
cracks issue dispairing screams
dripping moss clutches walls
towers bend in the wind
crying in fear and dread.
Creatures advance from the wood,
nervous and cautious,
set foot on the doorstep,
mewing softly.
The dark, huddled figure,
it poses no threat,
dejected,beaten,fallen.
the creatures take possession
for now
and forever.
Tred lightly and with reverence within these walls, for it is here that I sleep; surrounded by the tools of the hunter; the mirror, the garlic, the crucifix, the hammer and the stake…the stake that stopped the heart after only a hundred years of beating, the heart that should have beat for many lifetimes more.
These hunter’s tools have taken me from the world and left my love to walk it alone. May he find the hunter through his bitter tears and may similar tools bring my love to me…
Then may we both be together to slumber for eternity…
The mirror, the garlic, the crucifix, the hammer and the bloody stake;
Sweet Dreams are made of these!
