I see you I am no fool Like ravens over prey You are keeping your eye on me I see With my one good eye Your hunger Salivating lips My heart may stop beating My arm feeling the pain of your grip I laugh at you You forgot to keep the musical score As I wrote my notes for the masses to pursue Ah you let go once more See? You will win one day, no doubt Darkness is our brotherly connection Death our final compromise Galmi We all know you will fly again Over death and ancient ways

This is very deep and dark my friend - I have vivid images of a heart attack - were you listening to Queen sheer heart attack when you wrote this as I feel it is a bit of a conundrum? :-) hugs Jan xx7

Excellent piece Arthur. I'm sure it's not about hockey but with the temps reaching Ito the 60s today all the ice has died....btw we'll take Subban off your hands

i can relate to this one, perhaps because i have felt death's hands grab me a few times myself and somehow got luckier than others around me and broke free... good piece :)

Arthur, I am still in the study of your piece as I comment...It is not dark for your work, I looked up the def. "Galmi" and I don't get correlation?..duh...you pen with smooth, strong, imagery with this wicked conversation! :), jill

No, not that, lol however a famous location to find galmi would be Prague Czechoslovakia , late 16th century!

c'mon A.V., "give it away, give it away, give it away now" ~ Chili Peppers...I am unable to locate the English def. of "Galmi"..apparently I can not access the proper resource...all I get is Galmi, West Nigeria or sumntin??

Ah well, if you look at the link, one photo gives a small clue, and I will give one more, galmi in english translates to two words! Will wait a bit to see if anyone guesses!
