Amour en Vain

I am the mystery in the dark
The nightmare that haunts forever
A Casanova under streetlights
The one not completely understood
Yet sometimes misconstrued
So I take this bow
Before I begin to make amends
Tinkering and mixing concoctions
In my alcove just beyond my soul’s reflection
Relying on my fantasies and memories
To create my own perfection
Without the power of God and angels
And those things written in books
I have the recipes written on my body
The finale of artist and lover
After rough drafts and scarred hearts
Seeped onto my canvas of silken skin
Purposely organized and cryptic tattoos
Reminders of mistakes and sins
Lovers and infatuations
Innocence and forgiveness
All these ingredients I churn in my imagination
Adding the magic of golden roses
The misty saturation of lilac water and sunshine
Fragrances of fresh apples
An ounce of her sweet treasures
And lastly,
The essence of all those tears,
Before they whispered, “Goodbye”.

Marcel

As your words moved over my lips, the sweet taste of hunger left pleasant the memory of sate.
Your works have become very powerful, in their emotions and imagery.
Nice to read you again and again!
