~ ROMANTIC ~

~ ROMANTIC ~

Through a blighted, radical, effigy
All the little children began dancing
During the lighted alibis of significance
And while the horses sang
Leprechauns and altered egos
Began dancing along the promontory
Of the church's steeple guard
Who rang the bells
The bells of hell
Where angelic voices gelled
Because of a strange beauty
Running through the you and me
Of all eternity
And the possibility of understanding
The truth and potentiality
Of chancin'
What others could not see
In the modernity
Of chancin'
Of being a protagonist
Of chancin'
Of learnin' the first 'til last
Through comparison
That perfect act of faith
Of chancin' 
What it means to be
Truly romantic
During the final sunset
Of the you and me
Dancin'
Through all eternity
Romantically
In all 
That is meant to be
Romantic...

An interesting theme & curious wordplay throughout .. and were it not for the glow, I would swear there was a gothic aftertaste ..

Oh' how he longs & prays & hopes for an eventual romantic renaissance .......... More rockets than the Apollo space mission to you sir .. N :)

Hello Tony my good friend :) So I have sat reading this a few times over. Digesting your words and imagery. For me this speaks deeply about the potential in souls who do not aspire to follow the herd, and their so called excuse for existence. But rather chance to follow the true inner light and allow it to guide them. For one need only have faith to connect to that great and powerful maker. True love of the universe, that purist of love, does not lay in an effigy, nor in the chimes of church bells.   But it is simply found rooted within our very souls. Everything else is just child’s play. Which I sensed from your lines and imagery. The unity of two aligned souls, who understand the true sense of divine love

“During the final sunset
Of the you and me
Dancin'
Through all eternity
Romantically
In all 
That is meant to be
Romantic...”

Ending with this final sunset that describes their ascension, into eternal love within each other and the universe itself

So very beautiful Tony.  Of course I might have this totally wrong. But it is what I felt and sensed as I read this intriguing poem.  As ever you have my cogs turning in the best way :) 

Stay well and safe my friend. Keep writing your wonderful works 
Gwen xx
