Added Notes:

As there always seems to be that rude and vulgar person about having a twittertrump, seemingly both jealous and filled with hate, I shall clarify this write. This poem is about no one here, and in fact is about no one at all. I get many ideas from reading poems or poem titles here, but mostly I get inspired a lot listening to music. I was listening to some symphonies when the idea for this poem came to mind, and in fact I hope to write a few poems, inspired by this lovely music. At the same time I was reading up on some European history, and thus this poem is the said result. It’s more about good verses evil than anything else.

If one doesn’t like me or my poetry, there is a mature simple remedy, simply ignore it. I am sure there is plenty here for all to read that they don’t have to focus on things they don’t like. I certainly just ignore the dribble of theirs, and enjoy the immense works of the great poets here.

Tartini Violin Sonata in G minor ''Devil's Trill Sonata''

Although a thin thread, I often weave an idea from one poem to the other and that being said, there is also this piece of music on which a poem was written. (Also relating to the French singer Alizee)

Dance of the Knights

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMrSPOWrYGA

A lie, wrapped in deception, in the cloak of silent nights
Deception, soothing as black ink, until dried
The wetness caresses the illusion of pretenses white
When it dries, one is exposed to the evil dark fright

A lie inside a lie inside a lie, inside the Pandora’s box
Unwrap it all you will witness the sly red fox
Run from the forest that consumes the noble heart
Lay your eyes on the Gothic inspired cathedral ceilings

From there, is but heavens start
As the symphony plays the rhapsody of life
Remember always the deceiver for his bringing strife
Raise your hands like a conductor of brave hearts

Speak up and speak out, when you see the silent
Darkness bring you illusions in the night
Beware of the dark lamb, and hold up the noble light
With ethereal dreams, one day you know what is right

Depths of eternal truth in this true gem. Darkness and evil exist and grow now more than ever on this planet. The Dark Lord, nourishes in blood, his evil minions and their vast offspring. We should slay such dragons and stop their burning our dreams! MY NEW EPIC POEM , DRAGON SLAYER, POINTS THIS REALITY OUT. A7 and a fav..

Wow, this was so good Arthur. I love how you captured the darkness in words and sent it out for all to witness. So much that is unseen happens and touches many, whether they realize it or not.
