Notes About The Poem

Lady of Paris

Into the night I marched
Into deaths grip I fell

Musical notes running after me
Violins weeping afterwards

Stars fading into matter
Nothing matters without love

Lights shine over there
Can I reach or do I dare?

I can’t get out of this repressive chair
I can’t stand the people whom stare

My mind is all wrapped in shrouds
Hiding within the skies dark clouds

My smiles stolen by royalty golden
Now my tears flow as I weep

Is there any hope to keep?
Or am I doomed to deaths grip so deep

Gargoyles yelping for their fare
Me, dangling from the air

Aurore are you there?............

My, another hauntingly sad one. It implies a hanging death I think. The image of the gargoyles both in your picture and in the poem was gothic brilliance.

Hi Arthur, there is indeed a over arching.. An Aurore of the emphatic & empathy in this piece, ambiguity chases candour, yet this despite a brooding angle is not dour.'

Tears and weeping violins reflect the loss/lack of love; is death a solution? The Gothic touch conveyed by the gargoyles contributes to this type of dark poetic effect. Again...will dawn bring some sort of relief? // paul

Strong, powerful, dark and scary... I feel this and I can feel the despair. Great poetry, this!
