I find myself in a conundrum, A dilemma in what this feeling is, This dynamic, Between me and this dark angel, She haunts the recesses of my brain, A thought hidden in every other, She is the birds chirping, The ones at the window as I wake, She’s the warmth of my blanket, The ease as I rest my eyes at night, Her voice never truly fading,
It could be friendship, I am not addled, But I sense more, If it even be reciprocated, When I witness our meetings, With this feeling, This dynamic, Could it be anything but love?
In this secular world, If there’s one mystical object that exists, It has to be the human heart, And the mana of love that excites it, This arcana, This magic is undeniably powerful, It can restore ones faith in humanity, It can pit friends against one another, It can ensorcell one against their best interests, Even bring a jubilant man to tears,
Yet we risk the spellbinding pain, For the elation can be commensurate, But remember this, Once the charm is cast, It’s next to impossible to dispel it wholesale.
We are all aliens to one another, We all look different, Speak differing tongues, And our brains can be extra-terrestrial, But diplomacy is always the way, Space exploration through words, Through harmony,
They say men are from Mars, And women are from Venus, But I disagree, In truth every one is a galaxy, Full of planets of memories, And poems riding comets, Orbiting a pulsing scarlet sun,
Maybe we are all Martians, But hearts are universal, They reach across nebulae, So leave your ray guns at home, Instead wield your universal translator, And make first contact, For love moves at lightspeed.
Conversations can often go awry, Common ground crumbling underfoot, If harmony is a creature, A living thing, Misunderstandings are a stake to the heart, A fact or thought misconstrued, Is the death of agreement after all, A glitch, A wound, Emotions can be tarred, Until logic is applied again, Misinterpretation isn’t malice, No harm is meant, But misunderstandings happen.
The night cometh, Meeting right on time, Eyes meeting, Sweaty palms, The anxious shuffling of seating, Shy smiles, Fingers tracing wine glass necks, Azure to emerald eye contact, Connections made, Conversation once stilted now flowing like ale, Hands touching, Hackney carriage summoned, Two passengers, Happily ever after, This was a date, Now it’s a love story.
In the autumn of our time, She left me with this necklace, Her terminal gift, This stalwart pendant, A cross upon my back,
This icon was bestowed under pretence of love, A scathing symbol of your thoughts, Reminder of the hopes you had for me, Hopes I dashed, Leaving a sterling silver wound,
This metal lion, A hollow king, It once touted strength, But now is a reminder of failure, So its jaws constrict my neck.
As they say, The face is a masquerade mask, And the eyes are windows to the soul, But windows can be boarded up and blockaded, And a masks purpose is to deceive,
You never know the intentions within, The bad aura that permeates its design, The gentlest smile can hold the most umbrage, A held stare can be pure amorous obfuscation, Cordial words can hide poison within,
The back of your skull often suspects something, A defence mechanism for your peace of mind, That sixth sense hints at hidden danger, You’ll wish you had heeded the warnings, That imperceptible lightning of negativity in the air,
That prevailing miasma, It hits your eyes first, Injected by longing gazes met, Washing like a tsunami to your heart, Insidiously at first, Veins burning in the passionate causticity,
Propagating in your chest and thoughts, Euphoric over time, An addiction like any other, Racing pulses and endorphins, White-hot and devious, A venom taking its course,
Destructive in the end, As toxins are wont to be, Culminating in cardiac collapse, Your heart split like a vase, Shards lost in love letters unsent, And those same eyes bleed aqua in turn.
How are we all doing this week? And by ‘we’ I obviously mean all of you lovely people out there. I hope you’ve all been creating to your hearts content. I really need to get into the habit of looking through more peoples blogs and websites. Not to mention interacting more with other bloggers. I seem to be lax with this recently and it’s not great. That’s something for me to work on I suppose. Also, it’s starting to look a lot like Christmas now. Or so all the adverts keep telling me. I’m not a great fan as I’ve mentioned before.
Enough about the holidays for now though. It’s time for music isn’t it? The Harlequins writing music that is! Did anybody see the clue for todays musical theme earlier on? I know I ask that every week but I am genuinely curious how many people see them.
Todays musical theme is that abhorrent thing we all call love. Or romance. Or affection. What ever nomenclature you prefer. It’s a pretty integral part of the human experience isn’t it? It can be love of a partner, love of family and I suppose even love for oneself. I think it would be reasonable to say that everyone feels love at some point or other. An assumption perhaps. But a safe one I feel. When it comes to music, there is no shortage of musical artists who play music themed around romance or love. I’d say that some of the most well known songs ever definitely romantic ballads. Lionel Richie anybody? Incidentally not on todays list, but you get the idea. Speaking of, who wants to see todays musical choices? “Hurry up you stupid clown!” I hear you shout. Ok, ok, I’m getting on with it!
Join me as we delve into the musical minds of amorous artists the world over!
And there we have it once again! Have these choices made your heart ache? Beat faster? Well good, they’re all excellent songs and artists. Haha! I hope that you all give them some love as they all deserve it. Maybe play one of them to someone who is important to you. Dance with a loved one. Profess your feelings to somebody through music.
Enough about all that soppy stuff eh? Let’s have some social media nonsense. The asylum has a page over on Facebook, an account on Instagram and a page over on Twitter as well. Please consider following me over on those sites too! Also, if you enjoy what I do here at the asylum, please also consider supporting me over on the Ko-Fi page. Thanks for everything!
