Non-Erotic PoetryPlaceboThe strongest man in the world
Knelt before the red curtain
And prayed
His salvation veiled behind
Bloodstained sheets like grape-skin
Fatal fig
Empty tomb
Cindered city
The history of mankind
Beyond the falling red cloak
Revealed!
A tear of blue flame falls fast
And glows dim in the mirror's frame
Share the love

Not a misinterpretation at all...
...but an interpretation. The Red Curtain is a good metaphor it would seem, because it has a different meaning in different contexts. What I love about poetry is the myriad interpretations that are possible because of so few words used. I appreciate the comments very much!more...

Unfortunately whenever the words "Red Curtain" are used our generation brought up durin the Cold War (which was particularly warm here in India ) would in Dullesian conditioned sensibilities associate the term with Marx , Lenin , Stalin , Beria , Krushchev , Breznev & the erstwhile Soviet Union ! Sorry for my misinterpretation , boss .more...
The Red Curtain...
...is actually the Holy of Holies. At least, that was my intent. I would love to hear your interpretation though. Perhaps shattered faith in the proletarian revolution?
Red curtain would mean...
The erstwhile Iron Curtain ?
