Ghost Oath
The light refracted when it passed through your promise
The decree of undying commitment to my blood
Twenty-one grams have never seemed so heavy
Before the body of the one that I love
I shuddered when I felt the cold of your pale skin
Beneath my index finger
It forced my eyes to aversion and vivisected my heart
Today I am a carcass
Moving and undulating by unknown means
Afflicted and infected by a terrible disease
Terminal in the folding of its grasp
Bereft of life and will to power
Virulent in my lack of you
We were subject to symbiosis
And now we are divided
And I have been weakened beyond repair
Today it dawned on me
That I will always walk in vacuity, breathless, robbed of cardinal drive
Until I lose my twenty-one grams
And the light refracts through my promise
My decree of undying commitment to your blood.

The insight that is expressed by what we refer to as imagination ~ is what Emerson called " A very high sort of seeing!"......... it comes by the intellect becoming that which it attempts to express....... this is a stellar expression of that near paranormal loss felt......... the 21 grams being overwhelmingly linked to the love lost and its "undying commitment" to that which it truly expects to be somehow reunited.......... the word choices and phrasings here are beautifully delivered...........a powerful piece of craftsmanship and forethought!!......... be proud my friend......... it's not an easy thing to be a true wordsmith........ your kiln is firing on all cylinders!!............ well done!!.......... excellent work Jaime!!............ Love to you and yours!!........T xo
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for showing such kindness and reverence for my rantings, Tony. As ever, your insights and perceptions are rich and beyond encouraging. All the more so for having come from a truly gifted writer like you. :) A poem's effect is only as good as the ability of the reader to visualize and contextualize accordingly, and your third eye is clear and luminous indeed. Thank you once again for the kindness, my friend. Peace and love! :)
Well written Jaime - so much depth and feelings felt when reading. - fantastic, you are extremely talented.
Be cool!
