The Monologue of Saul

The Monologue of Saul (A lone voice whispers) Do people Maybe even you Who have ever been broken in two By love Sometimes sit wondering What was I thinking of Was I seduced by a dark dream from those hidden in the byways and half ways In-between By Pagan old kings Jealous queens and their armies Whispers of spells from their invisible lips To see false things which might seem true Only to drain My love away With every sweet touch and kiss By gesturing old fingertips From daybreak and into the awaiting night For is to love Just a sweet game of chance To let the heart dance The passionate Milonguero To risk all Even the fall To sit one day In silence Wondering Oh, why did I risk being cracked in two by love Only to sit pondering Like so many other broken in two souls What was I thinking of Was I seduced by a dark and dangerous dream Linked to love From those hidden in the byways and half ways In-between From below Or above By Pagan old kings Jealous queens and their armies Whispers Creating spells from their invisible hungry lips To drain away my love With beckoning gestures By old fingertips As my heart silently yelled Ringing an unheard Red alarm bell With every sweet touch and kiss Inviting me Like Dante Alighieri Into an old hell From daybreak and into the awaiting night Mesmerized Under pagan old kings and jealous queens Spells But deep down I now know As I go To love To live and love in any given moment To taste any form of love Might be a mystical game of chance A chance to let the heart dance The passionate Milonguero To risk all even the fall To sit one day wondering For I now know With experience All beautiful things in sweet exchanges once lost When each moment is remembered Those sweet tranquil ones That one still treasures The most To risk all and even if only the heart briefly dances The passionate Milonguero In the arms of love Is always worth the cost Even if you end up feeling Used up Lonely and list (C) Copyright John Duffy Milonguero: One example of the 5 different styles of dancing the Tango.
