Travelling Through Seas of Time

by Gypsy Blue Rose


Entry for the Little Shop of Horror Club

a messenger 

brought you the tragic news that I died

at war, but he was wrong

you thought I was dead

and leaped to your death

I forsook god

and drank from the cup

of eternal damnation

and have been cursed

since then

I never stopped

loving you

my beloved, my life, my wife

and I searched for you

time after time 

today I found you

in the new world

you don’t remember me

but didn’t pull away

from my touch

now I regret

to be a blood thirsty monster 

and losing my soul

my heart no longer beats

except when I touch you

save my soul

kill the dreadful undead

I have become

and I’ll wait for you

in heaven above

"Little Shop of Horror Club Event: This week event is a FREE FOR ALL. Do you prefer prose? Write a story! Are you a poet? Write a poem. Keep it in the dark genre. Other than that there are NO RULES. Show us what you've got." - Thanks to Marilyn Hamilton, the Club Organizer

Gogyohka is a five-line Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable count but as brief as possible. You may use any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay. It usually doesn't rhyme, but natural not forced rhymes are okay. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe.
