To the memory of Leonie Rysanek (Free verse) by vulcan Dear Leonie,I heard your voice
When it soared above the skies
Cracked through the clouds and pierced my heart!
O You the Sleep-walker of the most beautific Dream
Scores of tunes entuned and I deem
When stood midst that Greek Strauss-envisaged waste
BY passion stunned
With what superhuman Frown you cried
That made Blood synthesize in Sound?
That I could see in those cavernous eyes
The hushed-harsh pain of Electra revived!
"Ich bin dies Blut!"
Dies Blut!In that petal of a tone I saw
Grace midst Confusion born!
Dear Leonie you have so maddened me
That I imagine our earth
Was made to hear your meteorite of a call and die!
Death...yes,but what's that to a restless soul
Born by a Curtain's rise only to leave midst applause?
O my brittle of a voice
Soar up,higher and higher
Find the empty space filled with a mysterious note
It's Leonie the Star,the Last Queen of Spades,
With Orpheus and Eurydice joined in Ionian feasts!
Sour up frail little thing
Live Live and die
Die with hers
"Ich bin dies Blut..."
Dies Blut...dies Blut...

I rate this highly for its expressiveness and melodrama, its in the same vein as stuff tintagiles writes have an 8 well done
Yes, well done.
naturally.
"beautific Dream" - "beautific" is not a word. Though I suppose you could make it up and say it means "beautiful". However, "beatific" IS a word. Perhaps you meant to say "beatific"? If so, that's great!
"Scores of tunes entuned and I deem" - what do you 'deem'? Doesn't make any sense at all! Though I daresay it does rhyme with dream! Great work! "O my brittle of a voice" - this line also doesn't make sense.
O you clever boy Dark Angel! Will anyone ever tame your heart? Will you ever let Lunar love you? This moon that illuminates your darkness, will you ever see it smile back?

You, earthbound angel, spurned yourself from the god above. All you need to do is forgive yourself for being the way you are. Then and only then will you be able to provide the ever patient Lord with the affection she so sorely misses. But she cannot control you. She can't make you appear in the heaven of her private quarters. Only you can right this wrong.

Sure thing! I enjoy helping those less fortunate than myself!
P.S. It's "a lot". P.P.S. It's "grammar". 304 view(s)
