Bordello Thoughts

 


Blessed be.

Velumbound.


(A lone voice whispers)


Within these low whispers, lost in the revolving brothels of my mind 


Revolving in its deep depths


As I sit here 

Alone at my old desk


With my black Remington


I can feel the subtle arrival of you, and the vibrational presence of other viewers


Maybe on their beloved cellmate, their phone or computer 


So here's to you all


You the bohemians 

Eccentrics 

Originals and mavericks


Of mankind 


Curious enough to visit


The kingdom builders of visual new worlds that shine through 


Like Morpheus's Looking Glass


Using the power and brilliance of inspired words and fluted thoughts


I pray you continue to seek more 


Like I do

Searching for the one I still adore 


Calliope


Who walks on rivers of crimson fire and grey ash


In memory gardens to be reunited, after she stepped through another stage door 


You 

The Ones blessed with the brilliance of words and fluted thoughts 


Only you I can praise


You, the searchers and creators


Poetic

Time abusers


Just constantly try to be free and never caught


Or caught like me, by always chasing poetry's new dammed train of thought
