Am i marching towards what i want Acceptance of boundaries crossed Fearful of silencing sentence enders Am i marching into complacency In the same way i once did Backwards into hell Orpheus, oh, fool– look back, look back Upon the path you have tread to reach this point The shadows were in the foreground Prophecizing in soliloquies ignored How much ground shall i idly yield to an idol When did i place you there? So lofty above Adored, and yet– even the divine broker arrangements Flowers pressed have more in common And yet, Euridyce, is rid of all I see In pursuit of my own passions, yielded
So where, what circle do i march towards? For what do i burn, yearn, and turn away from, for? The delights that delight in me in word, and deed yet Is it for me– or for me? I have read much of great love and yet Experience is a cruel governess to chide me so Cruelty is found in many forms, and indifference Is such a boring blade to bleed from Hell is full of fools – Is that why I must open my window Frightful of humidities smother Oh, brother– where art thou? You set such a divine example and vanished Like lightning you flashed – and dashed
Spring has sprung from my step Jovial nay jestorial i am the fool to think Love is a game best played jaded Jagged with jowls and howls in the night Biting and tearing save the one whom once torn i find i am falling up Just as worried as ones descent Should the rocks and waves below shatter me So the sun above burn me Is nowhere truly safe? Save love’s embrace Where daggers most patiently wait behind pursed lips Such ides, eyeing march onward
What greater role in stagery than the fool? Absent of the melodrama heights and lows Yet er’ present to the humilities and ‘ations i look back and it all seems to appear Yet stories tell me it should vanish It should be ripped from my hands All i feel is the blood from my palms And the stones in my belly Won’t some eagle come pluck this from me Spare me, pare me, and serve fare me Am i marching – with the soldiers Promised by Shakespeare in battalion after battalion Not to sleep nor slumber nor rest but to sorrow What awaits this springless march?
