Depths hotel

Lorenz

Destiny is frozen in the moment before

when a turbine stops beating like a heart ,

Cab -123 dance a piece of ice ,

a bottle of champ takes to the high  seas ,

bed stripped bare by a night that won't end ,

salt of the last  embrace ...

Cold-loving stars set up for the show ,

first violin , double bass  ,

close to you  my love, hold me in your arms.,

see you tomorrow  ,no sorrow ...

we'll  forget about  cab- 123

entering New-York   harbour  ,

suite Waldorf-Astoria  

a confident bottle of champ ,the eternity ,

  just  futility ...

Darling that inspires me to write a novel,

set on on a luxury  liner ! "

your friends call  you '' The thinking  machine '' !

But now the machine's neurons  are slowing down ,

 creation returns to birth ...

 "Too bad ! '' Thinks our friend ,

'' I had a fantastic theme ,here ,but sometime 

you also have to know how to die !  ''

 On his wife cold forehead  he placed a kiss,

watching her walk away .,

sharing a smoke with a friend .

'' In this season,nights  are short my dear John ! "

'' And a little chilly  my  dear Jacques ,a drop of whisky ? ''

     Cab - 123  .Depths  hotel .

    "but sometime you also have to know how to die !"
    And remain gentlemen until the very end.

    • Bella Shepard

      A tragic night immortalized, romanticised by many accounts, you capture the pathos and the inevitibility of that fateful journey. So many loves lost, so many dreams never fulfilled. "Remember the Titanic", we shall never forget. A stunning write my friend!

        Thank you Bella ! Two remarkable gentlemen who deserve to be honored!
