The Repentant Soul Whispers

I now live alone

Looking out of this 

The tear-stained window to my dearly beloved dreams

That most men will rarely see

For blessed are my ilk

To have once loved like a true breaker

Of all known rules

And drank precious milk from its sweet red river 

Called after some forgotten gods

Wandering musical fool

Called Zeuhl

For I now know my sins

 

Wild Women

Pontoon and Jack Daniels

Made me carry the devil's tools

But now blessed am I

One of the many 

Who raise their hands in defiant rage

Praying to be set free

 Someday

To turn a new page

To dance wildly in freedoms

Soul refreshing rain

To ride the Midnight Love Train

Once again

To Pleasure Paradise

To just get lost in that forbidden crystalline city

In someone's eyes

It's what I look for now

In The Great In-Between

When I open and look out of

This

The tear-stained window 

To my dreams
