Love...burning in my breast like a star drunk on its own fiery purpose
Above,the heavens toss flecks of gold with celestial hands,
unlike my own which are clumsy and cold,
with which I drop my beloved's heart to save my own

Mine own hands,mine own heart,mine own eyes...
are vanquished...
for the love that I possess does not match with nimbleness nor gentility
"Love" and "Contentment" are words written on clouds...
They do not stay nor do they take shape,
but bind with naked air and disperse
so that they are unseen and unfelt

Oh,to scourge this feeble flesh would only be repetition of what I have already done to my soul !

And so,even while repulsion wracks me...
and evening takes on a deeper shade of night,
my back is turned on myself,
to die while yet living in what others call Life,
because I have refused mine own...
mine own hands,mine own heart,mine own eyes
of the beauty of what could have been

Oh,Ebon Eve robed in masquerade
Oh,vacant heart wrapped in darker shade

This was written on September 24,1990 directly after seeing the movie,"The Prince Of Players" starring Richard Burton.I was blown away by his perfomance! He was an astounding actor.I had his voice locked in my mind while I wrote this,so...if you are able,please read this with a British accent...and don't forget the emoting!

Peace,Geoffrey

(big hugggsssssssss) Oh Geoffrey, I have never seen this movie but I truly felt that sharp accent reeling throughout this, and this certainly hits a high note! (big hugggsssssss) This is most excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Geoffrey, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
