Second Coming



I see Alaknanda tiptoes to arrive down on the
steps of Pleasure-Pleased-Budapest!
Where the Temple effuse sleepy,white rays,
lights;Hellowed is her Hearts
Yet her Hearts sigh,cry and sob for the
faraway,long distant things that remain still
unsolved,unsought to which she`s now a mere
Myth-forgotten mist
My tears trickle down my cheeks,seeing her
thus quivering,wavering underneath the
predawn cloudy mist!So long,so mute
However,I cannot enter her forbidden Zone to
Her Please,where the Gods and Goddesses pray
play and please
All day,all morn,all evening
Especially in the October Wind
My shadows to shadows weep
AAARRRTTTIII
Especially in the October Wind
Summer`s gone w/ all the summery songs,wings!
