A much abused chick kills her newborn son, and sets the house on fire in the end. Yes, she also dies; but she's FREEEEEEEEEEEE from the oppression. It's in Volume XII (12).

The Conversation
Starlite, firelite,
Fade to black, fade to nite.
I’ll take his hand, fly with him,
Go forth to rapture’s limb.
To know his love, his sweet caress,
Beyond all pleasure, I confess.
His and mine for evermore,
Serenity like not before.
To heed his call, I’ll ascend,
Past the bourn of temp’ral trend!
My Horseman of Apocalypse,
From me life’s wretched chains he rips.
Your gentle touch, your easy door;
Death, you are my paramour.
Stephanie

Look Westward lass,
And face me there.
The time is now
For us to share
The beauty you have longéd for.
In fading dusk
You’ll come to me.
Escape the cold
Eternally.
Be mine to hold for evermore.
So take my hand,
Erase all fear.
You wanted me,
Now I am here.
I bid you, enter through my door----
You: One to call me paramour.

I turn to dusk, as you request,
And pause with an unwanted strife.
Can I now justly come to you
Without a fearful price to pay?!
Can I decide when’s my life’s queue?
‘Eside your mount, you welcome me.
A gentle smile, a hand outstretched,
Your soft dark eyes beseeching me
To enter distant worlds with you----
In time, for all eternity!
Yet dare I go, and ne’er return?
I ask you, can you answer this?
From nature’s law will I have strayed,
If I cut my sustaining chord
On your incisive Harvest Blade?!
Just hold me for a little while.
I fear not you, but consequence.
I long to come, yet must I wait
For Him to set me free in time,
Or dare I break my Earthly fate?
Is time my only enemy,
Or is it my naivety?
What shall I do? Where do I stand?
How long must I go on I ask,
Ere I can take the Reaper’s hand.
Stef

It's not time that is our foe,
But lo, that wave of fear in you,
That naught can override.
Now or then, it ends the same,
For our regard shall not nigh wane.
I’ll have you at me side.
Our disunity is brief,
For what are years in evermore?
The moments we shall bide.
Destiny’s for our behalf.
Fate’s law states we shall ‘come as one.
This truth, we’ll take in stride.
‘Til that day arrives, my dear
Defiant one who dare my love,
The moments we shall bide.
Donn

I stand beneath occluded skies,
Under the starless night!
Looking up, I wonder,
Why prolong this fight
Between my fear of consequence,
And my yearning for You,
And Your so wondrous realm
That I chose to woo
The time I met You vis-a-vis.
The time I long for now,
Ere my fear set it,
Ere I chose to vow
That I’d set You above what be
Existing here and now.
Can You get me soon?
Set me free some how?
I’ll love You ‘til the end of time,
But touch me so I feel
Not a presence or
A shade, but what’s real
To my perception, without walls
That keep us worlds apart.
Seconds ‘tween our start
Of the renewed and better way
That is our destined end,
Yet I halt my path
To my dearest friend
Out of the uncertainty that
Haunts me, and un-nerves me.
Since I fear to come,
Will You come get me?
To have You hold me in your arms
Again is so like dreams,
Sometimes when I sit
Alone like this. Seems
Like there is no purpose to me
Being here, when there’s few
Reasons for much bliss,
Being without You.
Yet again, I fear to cross the
Bridge that shall lead to You.
Pale Rider, I ask,
Please take me with You.
Or tell me at least,
When I came before,
Why couldn’t I stay?
Stephanie (Continued)
*****
When night befalls, look at me.
Pass your dreams, and come to me.
What you ask, I cannot grant.
I want to, yet I can’t.
Life unlived’s not mine to take.
Much to lose, too much at stake!
Just hold on a little while.
The years will pass. A trial
To be faced by everyone.
Lo, not e’en my jo may run
From this fate! I now can see
Past invitations be
Dearly wrong to follow through,
But I too, yearn for you.
Soft now lass, I’ll wait for you.
Take care. Await your queue,
Though I’ll make your passage rite
Hence now much less of a fight,
And when you transcend past your dreams,
I’ll be there.
Donn
*****
Past my dreams, to your world
You beckoned me.
Now that I’m here, I wish to stay.
Cause for return, I cannot see.
In this realm, rapture reigns
My very soul!
To be with you, without the threat
Of tearing up the heart you stole.
Hold me close, dearest one,
And let me stay.
Please cut the tie that calls me back
To anguish me day after day!
Raze the veil, down the wall,
And rip me not
From you, my love! Death, take me hence;
And mitigate what was my lot!
Stef
***** Continued
You, who worships me in art and rhyme,
We meet again on the edge of time.
As I hold you, I can’t help but shed
A tear for the greater sorrows bred
From our union which the laws deny,
And the day that haunts us by and by!
I don’t want to let you go again,
Yet I must, and I do not know when
You can stay with me without avail
To further strife or pain. Let’s prevail
As we are, and wait for you to end
Your Earthly span as meant. I’ll hence fend
Off your unhappiness, and I’ll come
Night after night to your realm to numb
The loneliness in both of us! Now
While you are here with me, love me how
It would be----
If I were like you!
Donn
***** Continued
You: Ruler of the Afterworld,
Seduced me beyond reason.
I wait in desperation
To complete our ‘Auld Liaison’!
To remain with you ‘til time’s end,
I want more than anything,
So raise your scythe, and come to me.
Sever my chord for everything
That I can give, that I can do,
Your mistress for evermore!
Please don’t turn me away again.
Bring me anon, to your realm’s shore.
Look at me with those coal black eyes.
Can you turn me down again?
I’ve lived so long, there’s nothing left
Except you! Come receive me, then.
This life holds no more dreams for me,
Just the pain and misery
That so endeavours in its clutch.
Please take me now, and set me free.
Stephanie
***** Continued
To-morrow’s here, where time stands still,
So stay with me for a while,
Where reality disperses,
And where anguish is in exile.
Come forth now lass, come into me,
For I am eternity!
Know what I know, feel what I feel,
And when time ends, then ride with me.
In my embrace, open now to
The wisdom of the ages!
Explore my mind and soul, and learn
The things written on no pages!
In turn for this, I sense your love,
So strange for a thing like me!
The pain, the beauty, so intense,
Beyond all past capacity!
----
No, I can’t let you go again.
Since what you feel, I have felt,
I found that I am also trapt
By your despair, that can’t be quelt.
Please, never go away again.
Stay with me, and let’s reveal
The rapture past all earthly love
Or lusts, in my realm’s fleeting sheal,
Until He rends the Seventh Seal----
Then ride with us, as Number Five.
Donn
The story set consists of the main part which is a (incompletely edited, deal with it) multi-part novel set describing the existence of a beautiful, intellectual, artistically inclined, neurotic, confused Tuatha prince who decided to abdicate and become a psychopomp (look it up if you don't know what it means.), along with his crazy adventures, and how he relates to the loves in his life, and how he finally gets his head together, two volumes of poetry, four volumes of short stories which are excellent, and a weird pornographic conclusion that will probably more make you wonder than turn you on, which I wrote specifically for a publisher's label called Eden Exiles, which was killed before I got one nostril off the ground.
Most of those who read the series loved it, though one reader (who didn't get past volume I) objected to the plot due to the lead character's same sex infatuation.
You also have my permission to copy it to your computer. The only thing that would piss me off is if someone tried to claim credit for it. I still have my paperwork and correspondence for when it was almost published, so don't even THINK about it!
