O broken and battered beatnik!
My tormented kindred spirit!
I offer you a hundred lifetimes of my self-condemnation
How can I deny finding portals to your spirit and soul with such ease any
longer?
Only now how to reach you out on the physical plane...
Kick down my door painted black so I may crumble in your Valium arms like a poorly constructed sand fortress, sobbing salty tears of regret, wiping snot-nosed drivel onto your cotton-wool blended Ceredigion suit
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
Let me explain the truths of my hesitant trust, battered and bruised -- like affectionate kisses on the cheek with open and closed fists
and childhood neglect turned adult isolation -- like visitations in dank bars with hitchhiking mothers
Let me tell you how I closed my eyes as they saddled up to the roulette table,
Licking their wintery chapped lizard lips, and
rubbing together their sticky hands
Placing their lucky chip
(free with the price of admission!)
On bets
Red.
Black.
Odd.
Even.
I tried to rig the loaded ivory ball to fall on odds Green, Double Zero
house's edge
...but...
Momentum lost,
Screams muffled as I saw them
parade in celebration
Blowing trumpets and twirling batons,
taming dancing bears in crinoline tutus
What have I done!?
What have I done!?
Punish me no more as I cower in my remorse!
Remove this needle from my tongue!
So I may provide the unheard voice in your narrative gap
When I found you alone, in an empty theatre, heaved there by a
force so Divine
Never could I have conjured up a Love so true!
Ohhhh! The tears!
Let us construct resolutions of brick and mortar placed
hand-over-hand
Become co-conspirators and together
build parallel neural pathways in our
Meta-Mind
Our synaptic impulses firing in unison as
One
neurotransmitter
We'll scribe the words spoken in real time
pulling inspirations from our restful dreamlands
coiled together in fetal spoons
I am here!
I am here!
Please grant unto me my only request,
allow me to hermit here awhile in this new warm home where I feel safe and happy and fearlessly blissful
A quiet refuge
most needed to rest my Self
Away from siren squawks that
deafen feather-tufted ears
I may venture out for the news or for weekend browsing in local record shops, but
here
is where I reside and come home to you each night
Keep my literal words as a gift only to you
(But please paint dazzling murals with abracadabra brushstrokes, with every colour!)
Do not pass around my sacred scripts of our lore (we've been warned)
My trust is the most honourable endowment you could recieve, please cherish it as you so deserve
Give this unto me and I will give you
an
infinite
well of
musings
and a
legend
for
the
ages!
I love you!
I love you!
O broken and battered beatnik!
Tortured kindred spirit!
I offer you a hundred lifetimes of my devotion
Your spirit and soul my course of navigation!
Using compass and stars, meet me
Wandering cautiously out on physical plains
I love you!
