Yesterdays Care is forgotten
but somewhere else it shines
I walked the waters depths
and it plagued my mind
Peace was torn
as the winds tore into two
East was west in the golden sun
as several heads became one
The Sun severed our souls
Eyes locked we couldn't find
pleasant lands
Hand in hand we wadded
We could be with friends
The golden skies of boubar
finalise our days
To all those who have placed entries in the above contest
I am unable it seems to finalise the contest I have chosen
Winners and locked it.' Yet the finalize button stays stubbornly
Dull.' I will keep trying to work through this it's not the first time
I've encountered it.'God bless.'
Storms came to flood the perversion of careless claims,
The silent witness seated in his chair with bowed head,
Not a word is to be spoken, not an iota of acknowledgement to be offered,
Despise the betrayal, proclaim the abomination,
Never repeat the nonsense, the heat,
Do not greet nor comfort again, stand up as in a presbytery,
Finalise the prayer to yourself, look up and walk away.
Deus, in adiutorium!
My little soubrette, clever and pert,
The Waterloo affair brought crossed swords
And released a horde of travesty in the sward,
A creation of a new Lady D’Arbanville cannot avert
The glare into the lunacy of impiety that is stripped bare!
Oh I swear, I swear!
The tug has suddenly stopped, the ball is being dropped,
All everlasting reminiscences in a second, forever, - popped.
LADY,
TELL THIS MAN OF THA NUBIAN
HOW TO HEAL WHAT AILS YOU
HOW TO GRASP YOUR FRUITS
HOW TO ANEW
LADY,
TELL THIS MAN OF THA NUBIAN
HOW TO CHERISH
HOW TO WOO
HOW TO COURT
THIS FEELING OF WE ANEW
LADY,
TELL ME WHAT IS NEEDED TO WIN YOU
HOW TO GAIN & RETAIN YOUR TRUST
HOW TO MAINTAIN & QUENCH YOUR THIRST
HOW TO ASCERTAIN
THIS DAMAGED & BROKEN SPIRIT ANEW
LADY,
WHAT MUST I DO?
WHAT MUST I SAY?
TO PROVE MY SINCERETY
TO FINALISE MY DEDICATION TO THEE
TO APPRECIATE
TO APPROPRIATE
TO ALLOCATE
ALL THAT YOU ARE
ALL THAT YOU WILL EVER NEED
MAKE NO MISTAKE
I PROMISE TODO
I VOW TO STAKE ONLY HAPPINESS OF YOU
MY WORD IS MY BOND TO THIS DAY FORWARD EVER MORE
OUR ESSENCE
FLESH OF MY FLESH
BONE OF MY BONES
ONE UNIT - ONE DESTINY
TO ETERNITY SHALL ANEW!
