Violin and Quill

. *So here I am once more, in the playground of the broken hearts. One more experience, one more entry in a diary self-penned. Yet another emotional suicide, overdosed on sentiment and pride. To late to say I love you, to late to re-stage the play. Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday'.* The first words you killed me with. The first Script to make me cry. The opening song on a plate of sorrow. The opening sight of my Poets eye. Your words soaked my childlike mind as I lost on the roundabouts and swings. The Jester stands with violin and quill, composing tears on his broken strings. I sat and chewed those daffodils and I still struggle to answer why. I grew up and left that playground but its the place where my heart died. So I never did write that love song, My words just never seemed to flow. The martyrs twisted smile haunts me, my Harlequins head dreams in sorrow. The game is over. The game is over. © Pagan Paul (22/05/17)

*First verse from the title track of 'Script for a Jesters Tear' by Marillion.

First heard this song when I was 14, I always wondered why Fish's lyrics spoke so deep with me. I only understood when I started to write poetry.

The album is their first, and the first of a trilogy that also includes Fugazi and Misplaced Childhood.

I am the Harlequin. PPx
