Heavenly Louche

As the essenes of 
Eden play lovely
quartets, a brief
interlude o' mine.

Oh. . . boisterous meadows
of entrancing enthralls
so fine.

As angels hearken
the harmonies of
our precious St. Uriel,
defiant.

The whimsy's of 
bitter attempts 
for lovely laughing 
girls, made bitter
pantomime.

Oh, the Louche,
the heavenly Louche.

Its embrace 
of vigorous 
nostalgias 
with little excuse.

So sorry,
so sorry,
here we are
oh mighty Zeus.

Falling from grace,
as pale a ghost
as the infinite
truth.

Oh!  The Louche,
the heavenly Louche.

Keeper of secrets,
ours and yours,
together we're found. . .

frequenting ,
the inviting,
narcotics lounge.

A testimony of 
love, why the essence
of St. Gabrielle,
you are,

you are.

As St. Uriel played
a ballad so fine,
I found myself
begging for more 
amphetamine!

The Louche,
the heavenly Louche.
