Notes About The Poem

German Windmills

Nurembered days
 

Numb
	Dumb
The pain
			insane

a breast to suckle
	an ear to hear

walking dead
		late but prayed

Gods fell asleep
Mortals played

tumors grow
	Its the doctors show

Liver or die
	Drink my dreams	
		or do I try
Lettuce and rabbits
	seduction and undergarments

exposed in the rain
	dancing in pain

rendezvous
	cafes and empty tables
candles burnt
	loves description like flames		
fades away


easy to say
	no one to sway		
		who the hell wants to stay

This world is red
This life is spoked and bloody
Emotions drowned in daily strife
Memories drift

		like snow in the wind

	Silent dreams

Erotic dancers

	Colombian cafes

My head a daze


Long ago, when the piano was tuned

I was a player

I was formidable and great

	now
		I drink in the last call

fulk the life and I want the hell

	do I cry in Belgium

Fabulous

I am not a nice guy

But the metro is here

	so goodbye

   Suicide tracks

			and

Musical notes 

  chasing the hate of isis tears for fears	

Butterflies trump ruby foo’s buffet

	for tyrants rant	
		While fools become gluttons

'Nurembered' days!! Historic poem and contemporary. I love the subtle stream of consciousness. I read this many times and love the message and the connections you guide towards, which I am left to fill with my own stream. German windmills to cry about in Belgium. 'Walking dead', 'silent dreams' and erotic dancers, there is so much...

This is a very strong and sad poem. So much in this poem it is one that will reveal new meanings with each read. So many terrific phrases; however, this one burned into my brain as, I read it,"easy to say...no one to sway...who the hell wants to stay." Thank you so much for sharing this. Well done.

Reminded me of the windmills of your mind Arthur. It isn't that pain in the world has increased that much it that we have faster better coverage of it. Words to ponder in this write. ; )
