Marble of time

Lorenz

Princes,jesters, miscreants ,belles dames

all drawn  into  the marble  of time !  

I'ts  like an old poem that has the taste

of a medieval  illumination ,

perhaps  a renaissance style gallantry  ,

or  some chocolates  from the place royal 

a parenthesis that opens to the new year 

and closes with the procession to the tomb ...

Nostalgy  for a  long forgotten  melody 

travelling on the strings  of a celtic harp ...

It's elegant Vienna  who dances ,

the candle's end ,Big Ben called for silence,

poor migrants drawned in the darkness 

of nameless  flooded streets ...

I dream of theses  ancient kingdom at sunset ,

  suddenly  everything  stops !

History frozen in stone, New york  sleeps ...

Carefree passengers of a steel giant ,

draped  in seaweed skins ...

 Chasm  that accomodates all the agitation

of thoughts  ,passion taking shape of bottom .

Camille  scults the nude  of her madness

   Mona Lisa escapes from her landscape ...

In the Trianon gardens  crowned  with spring

     the queen  performing a comedy...

         Marble   of time ...
