Marionettes Time Of Never ~ She dances upon a stage, set to the time of never... never beginning, never ending... her hearts endeavor, the puppeteer... strings taught against the wheel of her mind the puppeteer with his valued time... she will dance, will sing, any silly little thing... he needs only tug the strings... happily she obeys, cooing as she plays the called for moves... smiling at this bit of time heart full of all that's sublime for the puppeteer... the stage was set so long ago the story has evolved.. handsome puppeteer, a loving smile from within and the eyes that somehow knew... we grew... danced across the stage of old... story unfolds, so much light has faded from the stage, one string snapped, then two... I tried to dance without you... Marionette with broken strings continued on alone... suddenly the puppeteer reappeared, ....so many years.... smiling, but in a saddened way a little bit afraid... Marionette remembers another day, head held high, heart on sleeve... I approached the curtin once more, in the puppeteers grasp fully once more... whispers from the walls [she dances upon a stage, set to a time of never...] puppeteer need only request Marionette would only smile happily to comply... loving all the notes that played... "if I could dance here, forever... for you... for this love....." ~ The curtin slammed down Marionette laying on the ground, her heart still unfound... ~ Third stage set... there will be no regrets, this is a time of healing... puppeteer my dear hold my strings with care, Marionette always there... the puppeteer, now frightened of his own shadow, melancholy, bitter and cynical.... your heart hacked out Mercilessly, I know where you've been... the stage to never be set again... Marionette lays in darkness to be forever bound by this...in these tried strings... Marionette can do no harm, Marionette can give you only her love [...never beginning, never ending...] ~ Rain © cls 2003 |
