The Monologue of Saul



(A lone voice whispers)



Do people 
Maybe even you 

Who have ever been broken in two 
By love

Sometimes sit wondering 
What was I thinking of

Was I seduced by a dark dream from those hidden in the byways and half ways 

In-between 

By Pagan old kings 
Jealous queens and their armies

Whispers of spells from their invisible lips 
To see false things which might seem true

Only to drain 
My love away 
With every sweet touch and kiss

By gesturing old fingertips 
From daybreak and into the awaiting night

For is to love
Just a sweet game of chance

To let the heart dance
The passionate Milonguero

To risk all 
Even the fall

To sit one day 
In silence 
Wondering

Oh, why did I risk being cracked in two by love
Only to sit pondering 

Like so many other broken in two souls
What was I thinking of

Was I seduced by a dark and dangerous dream 
Linked to love

From those hidden in the byways and half ways 

In-between 
From below 
Or above 

By Pagan old kings
Jealous queens and their armies 

Whispers 
Creating spells from their invisible hungry lips 

To drain away my love 
With beckoning gestures 
By old fingertips

As my heart silently yelled 
Ringing an unheard 
Red alarm bell

With every sweet touch and kiss
Inviting me 

Like Dante Alighieri
Into an old hell

From daybreak and into the awaiting night

Mesmerized 
Under pagan old kings and jealous queens
Spells

But deep down
I now know
As I go

To love
To live and love in any given moment 

To taste any form of love
Might be a mystical game of chance

A chance to let the heart dance
The passionate Milonguero

To risk all even the fall
To sit one day wondering

For I now know
With experience 

All beautiful things in sweet exchanges once lost

When each moment is remembered 

Those sweet tranquil ones
That one still treasures
The most 

To risk all and even if only the heart briefly dances 

The passionate Milonguero
In the arms of love 

Is always worth the cost
Even if you end up feeling 

Used up 
Lonely and list
