Sublime betrayal of wonder-lust
Appeases each gray hair
Wandering towards a fair tomorrow
Disguised as riches but nay
Eons to hours of life in dream
Moments to treasure before growing pains flee
Silently through dark passage of night
Appears the true in heavenly light
Divine intrusions of stipulated wonder
Simple to reveal betrayal’s blunder
Come to me in my palpitating dreams
Divine destruction of every scream
Naked lies smiling frown
The dream of a child fallen down
The bloom of a rose belies darkness of night
Away float possessive trappings of fright
No more will I delve the path deep and dark
Forever it seems have I known it a lark
Now it is I who smiles a frown as
I let go the ghostly deluxe to the ground

Thanks for the comment! Yes it is about death, but not that of a person, but of his betrayals and delusions. It's actually meant to be a powerfully positive piece about coming to terms with absolute truth, or enlightenment. The Ghostly Deluxe is just that ghostly - unreal a delusion. Deluxe because he took his entire life to date, to produce this finely crafted delusion now dead due to divine intrusions of stipulated wonder which reveal his blunder... ...and Away float possessive trappings of fright
This was a great read, sad... cause I don't want anyone to die. But you know, this was so well done that I can actually hear my college professor reciting it in class and then asking, "What do you think the writer meant when he wrote this?"
