Blue & Black Eyed Monique

[writnpage]

It's darker than a tavern, my soul is just a cavern,
And every whisper magnified.
My hopes are torn asunder, it isn't any wonder
I'm blue and black eyed.
I've had all the ardor slaps can convey
Life is too mediocre for my final display
I can't sashay through those doors today
'Til the Crims and the pimps and the chills pass away..
It's darker than a tavern, my soul is just a cavern,
and every whisper magnified.
My hopes are torn asunder, it isn't any wonder
I'm blue and black eyed.
Good bye to the stars, and the jars in the bars
Farwell to Mercury and to Mars
Adieu dear Venus, for love's a farce
Although it was mine, I called it ours...
And if I climb up seven flights,
Up from the streets into the heights,
Away above the Simi lights
As far as such as I might --
I'll fly down through the misty clouds,
The airshaft gloom will be my shroud,
Perhpas the clouds will staunch my flight,
But I won't.
But I won't,
Go to
Hell
Tonight...

Wow, darling, I don't know what to say....and Caress at a loss for words is a rare occurrence.

Like Monique, I've often wondered what a freedom giving, life ending plunge would feel like. But in deciding to continue on every day and live life despite the sometimes vulgar backdrops of the stage...for me that is my true strength.
So if hardships and pain are the blue and black eye,,,I wish for her friendship, love, and strength - to be her steak and icepack.
Your words flow beautifully and inspire me more and more with each read. You take complicated and sometimes abstract feelings I've had...and make them beautiful and understandable.
Wow.
Love,
Caress
