Fur Elise

Für Elise walking through the hidden realm of my heart, whistling close by me, a poisoned dart, burning lightning in a pearly orb, the essence of my agony you absorb, echoes of a dog's anguished howl, the opening eyes of a new-born foal, ruby tears from the eyes of an innocent child, a Spanish bull fight gone wild, fiery chimera in a hailstone blizzard, a multilingual emerald, flying-lizard, purple mountain majestic mistletoe kiss, a rare sorrowful bliss, a distant ringing of mournful bells, walking along a rocky beach collecting empty shells, carousel of blood-hounds, running on fire, my only desire; to hear this unearthly ire, wretched arlequin, juggling the last string of sanity, this truly isn't a show of subconscious vanity, reaping emotions at such surprising speeds, along with bitter memories of horrendous deeds, diving into a sun-warmed tropical reef, floating with fire coral far beneath, a lilytrotter on candy-sweet waters, the irreplaceable smile of a cherished daughter, a blue fish dancing on a ghastly moon, corruption swept away by a gilded monsoon, a flurry in a race-horse chase, no thoughts left to chastise, shrewd smell of ancient tree-spice, lingers in the unreachable corners of paradise, when the red and golden banners are hung, a far-off nightingale's song is sung, the cresent moon, white-light projector, an involuntary earth-life protector, darling Ludwig, you sly minx, for you have put my uncontrollable will under a jinx, I'm nude, my true colours on display, until it comes my time to decay, Elise trapped thee heart in Limbo, full of shadowed stars and powdered moonshine, in a fairytale land divine, treacherous Elise, make a speech, of words no Poet can breech, to thy trespasser, rowing, in forbidden waters of longing melody. 175 seconds of unabridged art in blood... © Copyright All Rights Reserved
