Excavations - the Antecedents

When sun's last ray falls A golden leaf on the tongue of the sea Go not far from hearth and walls Go not into the dusk O prodigy And if you dare yield to lure Of day shut up in you, longing To frolic on the edge of night Beware the solitary demure Beware the changing of the light It was such an eve, a lonely eve A long, long time ago My mother's home I chance to leave For that sandbed was the show The place boys gather with their innocence Wrapped in the uncontested fiction of pride It was there with wanton arguments The world seduced the spirit bent There to the sandbed going She met me in the way What iron purpose echoed in my ear What thrall overcame the ritual I led about soothing the despair I never caused, but could not bear. From the candy store to now From the leash and lash of eyes Stalking me from crevice and window From the sultry passion Sweet with delectable drops of lies I could not repel the invasion I could not break the ties And O the facade she made, the lies That spelled the hopes of all The tyranny in which the heart exist The addiction, the pain perfuming pall For her body was a drug to me And her spirit lust for gore She sucked the sinews and the dream Left me droughted to the core And it was over, when resistance was done I was only curious spectacle A shivering shadow in the sun.
