The Maestro's Beloved
A dark back street within the old Wall!
Running frothy rain upon a studded drain
The swishing blue ribbons sweep the dirt around the dark street
Moaning.diamond tears dropping splashing upon the frothy street
Crying pain.dragging uncontrollable feet.wringing hands upon a white soft
handkerchief.
Clinking sounds.bursting awe.soft pinky wrests knocking dark sooty walls.
Scattered fair curls.upon the milky soft cheeks furrowed with tears.
Scattered trash.upon the stony street.rutted.full of dirt.
" oh me! Crumbled, trodden like his last notes."
Litter swims upon a frothy stream.shining moon.gleaming pain.
"oh me! Written in crumbled notes and thrown.me"
Howling rain.screeching splashes.passing away.
"oh me! Loving heart.spirit free.thrown away."
Drawing heavy saturated pink cloth.with dirt and tears,
Swimming in the froth of homes.still hanging to laughter.lonely as moans
"after all the promises.kisses soft.hugs.touches. and moans and tears"
Still dragging its bath swashing among the froth.
"did he think about the forgotten things.forgiven spears.tears upon my chest"
Clapping horrors.piercing profane joys.philosophical drunkards. spitting froth
"did he think about those wasted years.hanging to curtains.squeezing
patience out of tears"
