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
