a gift of curses
they came at the beginning
when morn was but a maiden
eccentric odd guests
bringing clarity and a little confusion
to a world newly born.

they came with the roiling clouds
a gloomy visage across the sleepy sky
tinted purple-black with the awakening sun
a warning to me
to mankind.

we saw them cross the abyss of time
into the chasm of reality
our reality
their presence an opium
upon our senses , our naivety.

they came bearing curses
the curse of living
a fleeting moment in eternity
a fierce consuming desire
a song by measure sweet and sad.

they came with gifts
the promise of death
an old door
through which is release
and new beginnings.

who are these beings !!!!
come to fill our narcissistic emptiness
ignite consuming desires within our breasts
come to us with tainted blessings
gifts of curses .
