Let it never be forgot

Queen/David Bowie: Under Pressure Remix



I saw him
Arthur
The inner cry
In his glen
Frustrated
Infuriated
By what was
What could have been

Hands bloody
Hands raw
Wrinkled brow desperate
To pierce
The exterior
As
Silver Mail
Bled red

Frustrated hands
Cry for redemption
Yet
The stone refused the sword

Belligerent
As stubborn as he
Refused to yield
While memory
The great deceiver
Ate his mind
The tendril touch
Inner thigh
The radiated heat
The supine sigh
Lost
Lost

Memory blocked
Perhaps the truth
Was more than sought
If only
Seeds had not been wrought
In taking root

Stoic stare
Stood strong
Against
The bare fissure
Forever closed
Yet beckoning

Passioned heat
Eternal flame
The trace
Of the cry
For a blood
Forever flowing
Through the gulag garden of eden
That could not bear the weight
Of something so simple
So straight

Cast out
Jack-a-bout
While truth brutalized
Beaten
Cracked and scorn
But never feel alone
For the sword
Refused the stone

Let it never be forgot
There is a place called Camelot

The scales dropped



The scales dropped
Slowly

Fiction
The ability
To see the truth
Reality obscures

Reality
Grim presentations
Of desperate babies
Suckling at the teat
Of an Iron Mother
Placebo nourishment
To keep weak
Yet he grew
Into a man
Who could only write
To the woman he loves
But never touch
Yet he would always love…
Never

With bright eyes
She gave life
So he would know death
She gave the asphyxia
So he would know breath

However

Possessing eyes grown dull
Did she love
Or afraid to loose
Who can say?

Fiction
The ability
To see the truth
Reality obscures

The scales dropped
Slowly

Corner Table, Guiness Stout

Sting: Desert Rose

Corner table
Guinness Stout

Half filled pint
For twenty minutes
It stayed half-filled

Half-filled

Cigarettes slow burn
Slowly birthed
An atmosphere of haze

Lost in the smoke
Patrons movements hidden
But for him
The obvious was clear

He wasn’t there to drink
He wasn’t there to think
Talk
Walk
Count captured coup

He was there for her

For in the stillness
The journey began
His mind’s eye

That was when
That was where
He saw her

Persephone
 
In an ashen twilightCreated by the
Nether-neither-ether-land
Of diminutive streetlights
Barking electric illumination

Body finely fashioned
Bearing grace floated
With the legs of a gazelle
As hair danced at
The gentle touching breeze

That is when she saw him
Rugged frame
Muscular arms
Piercing eyes

Beyond piercing

Her eyes
Beckoning
Simmering a silent
Seducetive plea

Unavoidable
With each degree
Of continued press
Draw inescapable

Souls
That had for too long been

Deprived
Of
Divorced
One
Depraved
From
Devoid
The
Denied
Other

Of
One
From
The
Other

The two
Could no longer hide
Behind an uneasy truce
Binding a condemning truth
Though no crime committed

The cost had been too high

A fact self-evident
With the contact of eyes

The obvious was true

The cost had been too high

A source
Seething underfoot
Drew
Inescapable
Unavoidable
 In gravity primal
A pull absolute

A moment
Eternity frozen by
Blistering heat
Purified by the
Pleasure of a million lives lived
Or the
Pain of a million passing
Mixed
Condensed
Melded
Effortlessly
In an intoxicating incineration
Drawn effortlessly from
The essence of the other

Epics shone
So ferocious
The sun was shamed
Passion so Righteous
The aria of angles
Was muted

Eyes closed to no more than slits
Bearing merely a silent lost tear

This was the only form of communication
To the outside world

An outside world
That no longer mattered

No longer

Mattered
In the mist

“Anything else?”
Questioned a willowy waitress
“No, I’m fine”
Said he

The Press

Touch and go: Tango in Harlem remix


In darkened halls
Slight movements
Commence

The press, and caress
of his words
Burning smooth, smoldered hot
Caring tension of the potential energy
Waiting for release

Waiting

Like her
Soft smooth seductive smile
Slips desire unspoken
As hidden truth slides, and bides
Carrying of the potential energy
Waiting for release

Waiting

Tension trapped
In body faultless
Form design
Though she would never admit
He would always remind
With words heavy
Carrying tension of the potential energy
Waiting for release

Waiting

All the while beauty sits
Brazen
Lips full,
Lips ripe
Draw to trace
Cross cushioned cheek
To the prize of eyes
That mirror reflections
Tender song, of her soul
Under the weight
Carrying tension of the potential energy
Waiting for release

Waiting
For
Release

Have you ever noticed?


Music Sting's Winter night

Staring at horizon

“Have you noticed how the light of the stars traveled thousands of years, piercing the darkness, only to be seen by us tonight?” said he
“Have you noticed how the night gently caressed the light as it passed with a loving trace?” said she

Smiling stare sustained

“Have you noticed how the sea stops the fall of the sky?” said she
“Have you noticed how the sky comforts, protects, and shields the sea?” said he

Smiling stare sustained

“Well, have you noticed how the sand halts the chaos swelling in the sea?” said he
“Hmmm, have you noticed how the sea is embraced and absorbed by the touch of the sand?” said she

Smiling stare sustained

“Have you noticed how shifting sand supports us?” said she
“Yet, have you noticed with its slight sink, it longs to envelop us?” said he

Smiling stare sustained

Yet

He turned to look at her
“Have you ever noticed left?” said he

Smiling stare sustained
Yet
She turned
to look
at him
“Have you ever noticed right?” said she
Smiling

With little more
Than this touch of sight
And a slight trace of cheek
She loved him and he loved her
Have you ever noticed?

Have you ever noticed?
