fired blue vase

that pale blue vase
made with expertise
captured her essence
when I held it in my hands
I missed her terribly

last masterpiece of his
helped me break his head
that vase qualifying as a weapon
was only a fitting tribute
for all she had suffered

jinxed it might have been for him
when he made that vase,
coloured it blue
fired from her calcified remains
from his own furnace

my revenge being complete
I filled it with daffodils and crocuses
cherishing her memories

I loved the ending it is very .... final, it brings closure (for me at least) for the vase it's self.
Lovely.

This is a great poem. I feel as though some frustrations were released while still remembering the loved one in a kind way. Hope all is well. Have a great night.

This was a very dark piece. Wow. It reminded me of Devil in the White City, especially the furnace.

*shuddering*

Great writing and story telling!
