Beckoning Bard


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yrch66gdjjk (U2’s Even better than the real thing)
You should know the drill by now.  


He stood
Wearing grin
Outside the hall
Masquerade within

A glorious soirée
Enchanting intoxication
Where the fat grew fat
While the thin grew thin

He stood outside
A bardic beacon
Not for the hollow
Shadowed Denizens within

No

What had made the dance
So mesmerizing
Always
Was her

Simply her

A beauty that would shame Aphrodite
With form captivating
Seduction arrived
With the slightest smile
Or even the mere promise
of one

This is what most saw
This glory incarnate
Immaculate

But she was so much more
A wealth found in her eyes
If one truly looked
True
They would find
Intelligence unbounded
Combined with creativity
Unknown

Looking deep
He could see
This most precious gift

Her soul

That is where he looked
And
Before it could be stopped
His soul
Felt the loving embrace
Of her

As her soul
Found the uncompromising
And undaunted shelter
In his

Simply her

For she was
The second holder
Of the truth

A truth so bold
Brazen, honest
That it could only be approached
With the chiffon
Of fiction

With its shy stuttering approach
Lest its powerful pierce
Strike and destroy

As the dance continued
Coddled movements became fluid
Crippled legs grew strong
As longing hands were made brave

Escapes were made
From the dance made farce
In moments stolen

Where
It was

Simply him
Simply her

Time froze
While
Passion burned
So hot
It melted the sun
Into liquid light
Diffused by
Embracing night

The draw of sister moon
Pulling together
In force irresistible
Electric touches
Burning a consuming heat
While the two
Would devour and destroy
And rise again

The two awoke
Within the other
As fierce passion fused
The forging of one

A glorious meld
In power frightening

Simply her
Simply him

She was shocked
She had forgotten

So he stood
The beckoning bard
Waiting for the shadow
To emerge to form

All the while
Wearing a grin

Simply her
Simply him
