Click hereWhere once were words
Now lay bent bits of iron
Rusted as rain that passed
With gently falling blows
It could have been a kiss
Wiped away over time
This moment for now
This promise of tomorrow
She has a plan I think I see
A legend in legerdemain
I follow her fine fingers
Entranced by my entrance line
Draw the curtains; dim the lights
As I sing this song of fallen heroes
So we when so we wan
Pinned here as I am on spike
Tattered tethered bits of text
Torn on torms twisted out
Our sightline foreshortened
By a cruel teaser falling in
I have become her old lovers
Reaching out beyond the past
In a feeble effort to get a taste
Of as are now and always
So do ruins run to the sea
Grain by grain of falling sand
Only in our old stories
Is there ever any answer
They say the neon lights are bright
And there’s always magic in air
I wish I could see them now
Blinded as I am by copulating snakes
Ah Aneas; or whoever you are
You want to her it all don’t you?
But will you listen and learn,
That is the question.
Thanks everyone so much for your comments!!
Just to clear up some questions I've gotten to make for better reading...
there are no spelling errors in this poem...
'teasers' and 'torms' are elements of classic theatre used to make the stage look smaller - I like to use theater a lot in my work...
I am suspicious of dictionaries; I've only seen two really good ones in my life.
And I really like the idea of Tireseus referencing "on broadway" in Hades... it puts a big ol' smile on my face....
I am fast becoming a follower of your writes.
Love the visions here and the feeling of lost
and tarnished love. Great imagry~~!!
