This Last Recto

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was part of a poetic challenge 
which I found on my friend's wall.
Using only five lines with five words:
Reminescence, Renounce, Retaliate, Reap and Recto
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In her ashes I seek reminiscence,

For the mere light of from her eyes shall I renounce,

This morbid shadow of a soul-
Come... Retaliate I shall not..

Reap for the greater good...

Bring back that saintly harlot to fill this last recto...

    I think the first stanza pretty much had me reeled in. Love your play of words in the last line.
