DarkPoetry -|- Dancing_Monkey -|- As we reached the beginning

As we reached the beginning

Lungs stretched
Thin strings (And we will walk for hours)
As if to reveal

Proportional damnation
Of death; Yours was the one
In which I would partake

Cocktail of antic tunes
Into the red chair

Here I stand now
Before everlasting idols

This seems out-stretched for such a short poem -- which is nothing bad -- it just gives me some sense of longing. -pxc

I'm all topsy-turvy, this took me for a dance I didn't know the steps to, but by the end realized I didn't need to, because I just drift with it, and it's wonderful...yeah, or something like that...loved it

i second hate_doll... the beat is sharp to this dance, spiky somehow... There's something about that closing couplet that really, really appeaks to me, too.
