this just sort of took shape as i was thinking about stuff......
. . . not being a photographer I couldn't capture the true colors of the picture.
. . . this is a tribute...Ravyn's spirit and talent is something
that I could never capture. . . the quote on the painting was taken from
Jennifer's poem Nightshade.
Nightshade
swirling clouds
like a nightshade
overtake my vision
coalesce within my mind
taking me back
to places i never wish
to see again
clotted blood marks the time
tick tocking endlessly
making trails of burnt flesh
seem like summer lilacs
blooming over the crypt
of my soul
take the antedote
bitter poison
days long past
night goes on
the light is leached out
and all that is left
is darkness
and the fluttering
that you hear
is my soul
bidding you
farewell
