other photos from the Court Jester series: Dreams of His Demise

2 Versions of the same Story...

Your Byzantine kohled black eyes

scald Sky-painted glass, 

scream melted embers all over my 

Sleep,

My Lord, your old Stars mutate!

See?

Now 

I am awake.

II

Ferociously,  I twirl your world 

beneath my nimble fingertips;

Your dervish laughter, legend once,

swirls clownishly, in emptiness

My unEarthly diamond prisms flash,

show your rage's futile sovereignty

for all fae maidens, tiny hands clasped

to see with glee; within, they laugh

I refuse to be reBorn as a fragment of your world

III

Your every effort to recommence

a long, slick, sticky self-monument,

to hold nubile captives, fossilized

while you assume a new disguise -

Your every absurd undulation fails

falls heavy, plods, stomps toward your demise...

I refuse to be reBorn as a fragment of your world

~~~~~

The Goddesses know the vile Court Jester

was ne'er my Lover, but my consequence,

for playing the Game of Open Door, The Open Door, The Open Door..

rough draft...version 1 

Your serpentine, Byzantine eyes

scald melted mounts,  black embers,

all over my Dreams

but now:

Ferociously I twirl your world beneath my nimble fingertips

As your dervish laughter swirls to concrete ground

unEarthly diamond prisms flash.

I hear your rage;

your grief fills the Sky;

Ironic bellows crash on high...

Your every effort to commence

a long, slick sticky Monument

to hold new captives fossilized,

while you assume a new disguise...

I think, "Time's arrived; waylay your dream!"

insipid monster on ancient screens-

Reach, grab, yet all you do is lose

One finger at a time...

as

Ferociously I twirl your world

beneath my nimble new fingertips

I shriek! Foreign Lightening brightens me!

To think:

I sail beneath dark Seas,

& all I dreamed seemed out of reach...

I refuse to be reBorn as a fragment of your world

~~~~~

The Goddesses know the vile Court Jester

was ne'er my Lover, but my consequence,

for playing the Game of Open Door, The Open Door, The Open Door..
