Haiku for a Gaunt Rainbow

Dream of Behemoth

She was a blind girl
Given sight so she may see
Life is agony.

This is Pamela.
In death, she eats the souls of the dead.
Friends call her Rainbow.

Here, death loves children
Because they’re harder to eat.
They call her Rainbow.

Youth evades her teeth.*
The old grow skinny and die
And restores her life.

Her name is Rainbow
She is an Angel of Death
Whom wears only black

* No, she is not a Vampire – something much worse. She is oblivion. Read Matthew Sawyer’s Gaunt Rainbow

Grandiose, I know, but I knew the stories I wanted to write - years of drawing monsters had spun my own mythology and I hoped for something comparable and real. The book I wanted to write would fulfill a fading desire and breathe life into the chimeras I had sketched into my notebooks. That visual mythology was collectively called "The Mortui Philosophies." I had tried animation, but the repetitive work only produced frustration. So much in fact, I joined the 'sane' world and switched careers into Internet Technology. Secure, I had stopped painting and focused on a very rewarding career. After a few years lacking expression from my creative self, my Pazuzu Trilogy took its first breath. View all posts by isylumn
