Dhamphir

Begat from the loins of the damned
wrathful Sire from a nebulous and sinful grave.
Daughter of a virgin womb,
ravaged upon the funeral pyre.
Progeny of neither man nor beast.

Child of extraordinary power ,
Lithe an athlete and fighter
On the cruel streets of London town.
Dragged up and rejected ,no mercy found
A vagabond .

Culminating in a Woman of unfathomable beauty,
masking the lost innocence within.
Untouched by love or carnal knowledge.
Warrior, of self preservation , safe behind the barricades
built to her chagrin.

Dear Lou,

The raw truth is:

This is one of your best pieces you have written in a long time. I was blown away by it!!!
Truly hard to pick favorite lines by here you go:

Child of extraordinary power ,
Lithe an athlete and fighter
On the cruel streets of London town.
Dragged up and rejected ,no mercy found
A vagabond .

I LOVE IT ALL!

love, Cat
