I am such a freak. Hence the name. In any case, here's yet another poem only this one is more or less about the disappearance of Venus de Milo aka Mei Pei Chi from the fandom. Do I miss her? No. I found little to like about her even as a Power Ranger loving child, but the fact remains that, like it or not, she is part of the turtle's history. So here's an experiment where I look into how she (or really any one-time only characters from the various media of the turtles) ceased to be.
Enjoy
Intermit
Do you sense the gentle tug
Which tears upon my hollow breast?
Or hear the cries from my throat
As muffled more and more
They become?
I fear the Silence
Which beckons me
Into gated brimstone
And Nothingness.
I call you brother, lover,
Not by blood but by soul.
But do you look through me
Because my presence fades
Or because it never was?
Tearing. Searing. Reaping.
Disappearing into colorless pages
Lost am I
To the Darkness.
Nowhere am I before
Or after.
Stare do I with
Broken interest and
Little sympathy do I feel
For your abrupt
Character's reform
Ever sweeping
Ever weeping
Gone am I
With but a whimper
So long memories
So long father
Brother
Lover
Master
Have but hollowness
In my chest and
I realize solemnly
My potential
Never was it there
Whispers are all I hear
My fellow lost potentials
Stand they about me
Cheerless we share
lament.
Cease are we
Until no more are we
Intermit.
