This is part 1 of a 5 part poem. enjoy. How Needy Have I Become? (I Dubbi di UN Uomo Superfluo) Pt. 1 …Enter Orator… My Roman heart marches on, A footfall with a thousand echoes, Proud among the empty streets. Gone are the thunder and lightning responses Of a crowd raging right on cue. “All Hail the Empress!” voices strain as would the wind caught in a sky of sails. I am an honored slave, sold for love, merely waiting for a day of defeat. However, I have learned to cheat fate. A Monotonous voice rises to power… “Welcome to the il fallimento del cuore, le fine de giorni. This place is a slap on your sunburned cheek, no place for the weak of tongue and spirit, The Eretico will purify your intents and cares. Now march on to tomorrow!” End the monotony in my mind… “Roll your eyes back into your thoughts and hide.” Slowly, slowly now… Lose grasp of tomorrow through my melting fingers. Tar tingles on my nails as I hammer away at reason. But you are still my Glorious Sun and Cleansing Rain… |

Very nice. Somewhat like a first-person ballad. Kinda like watching an intro to a movie in the mind! Like "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" lol. TY! |
