Vida Futura (S) Dreams

 

More channelling from the In-Between.

Scarlet Woman | cakeordeathsite

Press play before reading. Salute.


(A lone voice whispers)

I was once called a Scarlet Man

When I was alive 

By the worlds many Marianne's
Susan's and Karen's

But I never cared

I just loved her even more
Because I once dared before all who gossipped and stared

I still miss you and that irrepressible smirk 


I always used to kiss whenever I called around at around eight

Whenever I could like a loyal post office clerk

To do my dirty night's work

To then smoke and drink sweet liquor as your bedrooms lights slowly flickered

Making small talk and watching the clocks tick

As we both felt the heightened sexual tensions

As our skins screamed out together with 

What happens tonight
Will be our last time

Lines we too always said as we

Hand in hand
Made our way to your marital bed

A line we wore out every year

For we lived and danced in a crazy repertory 

Of slim fingers and hungry tongues

A silent unspoken language of freedom

Bereft of no wrongs

Whenever we conjoined and prayed for the everlasting night

For we knew that when the rising Sun 

Summoned the daylight

We must part
Before she arrived

Oh, how I am truly sorry

But I was just a scarlet man
Chasing a married woman

And now I'm dammed by those in the shadows but who cares

If you're seeing this 
My one and only Kera

Know this with assurance


It's me your only true sweetheart and loyal footman 

Bill Trueman

Sending this message 
So you'll look for me in the Vida Futura (S)

So we can once again begin as you take my hand

In new lands of revolutionary aspirations
