~*~
A moment of silence please
For those who never get the chance
They show up to the party
But they never get to dance
The losers, the liars
The bastards, the thieves
The cynicists, the pessimists
And those that don’t believe in nothing…
~*~
A ballroom of sleek transparent glass
Under the allure of the twinkling night skies
And all those vagrants who come to pass
Must shed their skin and reveal their disguise
.
No need to be convivial, no need to hide yourself
No need to use a mask, toxicity is not good for your health
Now if you may allow me to be on your side
Your arbiter elegantiarum, your own personal ally
.
Come now, and take my hand
Without words, you’ll understand
Hitch up that tattered dress
Wipe off all those makeup mess
.
No more speaking, not a single harsh word
For silence is what’s needed most in this world
We’ll spin and twirl, round and round
Dancing to nature’s mellifluous sounds
.
Hush now, settle down, don’t you cry
There’s no one here to judge you, dear
No one to maunder and whinge, no one to defy
No matter how bluntly frowsy you appear
.
Along the crowds in midsummer’s eve
We’ll dance along, let our bodies believe
That this is a painting, in belle epoque
Created so delicately with every brush stroke
.
Yes, we’ll dance till we can take no more
Until the glass gives away and shatters to the floor
But don’t let it hinder us, we’ll still dance along
As the scintillating floor is painted with crimson
.
I know it’ll be painful, but just look into my eyes
And you’ll see the universe veering by
And all that is lost may be found again
And all the wounds you garnered just might lose their pain
.
The razor-sharp glass is gilt-edged as well
Get lost in my pristine galaxies, don’t let time tell
Everything is just relative, all simply do jour
And soon fades away like a photo with no colour
.
And we’ll grace to the music until nothing else matters
As our hearts beat along and our souls flutter
We dance, until everything falls apart beneath our feet
And we finally fly into the heavens and leave entropy in its defeat.
A Lost Painting
