night a concourse of bright tongues
light outwitting the stars
in galaxies of required glamour
;
I hear behind the talk
and rise behind the tinkle of glasses-
a small cry of need . . .
a cry from the maimed
the forgotten and disposed
on whose behalf now
a banquet of charity is laid
and the night-long dance begins.
You contemplate without malice
from a subtle distance without
our rainbow bowl
of festering fish
elegant or estranged,
respective in it's ecstasy
eddying in perplexed parables of pleasure
engaged in a louder charade
than the one below the surface,
muted in patient regimes of pain.

Billy, pain is calling to us always, but remember what you said "Knowledge of love once gained and given is never lost or betrayed into unknowing..and there are always shooting stars!" So even with all the pain, my love, we still have beauty in life, even if it hurts.

I like it. There is some beautiful imagery... but I can't get
our rainbow bowl
of festering fish
to fit in. It seems off, just an image that doesn't quite chime with the others. Excellent piece though.

Welcome back Billy : )
I enjoyed this, and I think parts of this are quite veiled, and the odd line or two probably means quite alot to you, and probably someone else, on a very personal level...Just a guess. I know I have posted some writes like that, just meant to be understood by someone, and not necessarily others, and vice versa. I hope your message got across...Nicely done with this write.

Geez... I've missed your work. (hint hint) And this... is a fine example of why I do. I can wrap my brain around this in a way that makes me feel somehow more alert than I was before I arrived here.
I've read through this a number of times, each time finding something new and every time finding myself pondering much (in a good way, I mean). This line - and the night-long dance begins - leaves me (and I do hope you don't mind too terribly much) wanting to suggest a tiny change. Each time I read it, I keep thinking "as" instead of "and" at the beginning, might work well.
Oh and... the alliteration toward the end appeals to me. It is, really, just the way I tend to prefer it - unexpected and realitively isolated. Nicely done!
Enjoying this a great deal and hoping to discover a new post from you soon,
~Snem

Sweetheart .. I believe I have heard this cry before ...
the last four lines are as piercing as the cold North air; it savours strongly of a sadness;
a sadness that even time is halted to feel .. I am especially drawn to the last line. I think
there is no sorrow so deep as what I have been witness to through your work, hun. And
if we were to measure one's worth based on "talent" alone, you would soar far and
above mere mortals, to take your place among the shining stars of divine brilliance ..
As it is, in my eyes, you hold that distinction of highest esteem, regardless, even
through pain, fear and paralyzing self-doubt, which, to me, builds better character
and makes one more admirable than the greatest confidence! Surely, I need not
remind you of your value, but I will anyway. :)
The more I get to know you, the more I understand myself.
You and your worth are beyond price, my love ~
Very humbly yours, with love and a greater
understanding than even I knew I possessed ..
XO
~Breezy |
