The Heart of a Poet -- Speaks (Part 3)
Disintegrated
Red Tears , Create a Black Lake
Where my Heart now swims
You may Kiss your Bride : I raise HER veil, see the essence of my universe
Wrapping my arms around Her; drawing Her closer, We kiss our tongues dance
The eyes, ears the depths of my soul ; screaming “Rejoice; our host is Whole
I remember Our Wedding Dance a Rhapsody to Eternity, the rest of the day
A soporiferous trance
I remember the last Beautiful Picture I ever Felt of “ L E N O R E “
My host was standing on the Shuffle-Board Court talking with Mr. Adams
His only “FATHER” - in law : Respectfully my host gazes beyond “TO LENORE”
Standing by the railing on the main deck a few feet below : He glances and catches
THE flash in LENORE’s Green Eyes : the mirrors of HER SOUL a silhouette :
Against the Sun standing upon his own reflection Smiling at His smile : I Smile
Sending LENORE ‘s Heart a whisper : a LOVE Song; Singing of our FOREVER
A Toast to MRS LENORE ELLEN(Adams)JOHNSON The Heartbeat of my SOUL
Her eyes bypass me to her Daddy, I nod my appreciation, He nods Saying call me D A D
OUR eyes revert to LENORE who raises her glass which flies from her hand: I glimps
As a sailing boom sweeps across the main deck Hearing the wails of fear and pain
The boom lifts LENORE up and throws Her over the Railing I glance at DAD “FROZEN
In that second of time” I tore off my cummerbund tie and my shoes “All HANDS on Deck
ALL HANDS ON DECK Man Overboard I start to leap as the arms of a monster puts me in a
Bearhug
I can’t break through “ Let me go YOU stupid M___er - F___er Please LET ME GO I cried
PLEASE
