Reincarnated Curse
With this mystical free verse poem, which was published on DeviantArt, I wanted to touch on the concept of immortality through reincarnation. True to my roots in speculative fiction–particularly horror–I asked myself what would happen if the soul to be reincarnated was inherently evil? How would that affect the new iteration and color their morality?
Deeper in the shadows
Lurking
A past haunts the ghost of the witch
The spirit left behind
In a legacy of magic
Of murder
She dies alone
Strangled by the darkness
Growing stronger in the space
Between your world and ours
Trying to repent
To relive her past
Rectify the mistakes
But can’t
Can only hope
That hope is real
That they can forgive
The unforgivable
That you can forgive
Her
Forgive
Me
.
Forgive me father for I have sinned
