The Carved Feeling

Crystalline labyrinthine
Find that clandestine aubergine
The whistle of that swinging chandelier
Walking by, that friendly familiar
That sudden spark,
Those eyes in the dark -
A mysterious mark
On that naked nape
And those shapes
In those two dots
Holes that lead
To that sole soul
Have I seen
That you before?
What lies
In those shadows below?
Pitch black, it won't show
I hear, a vivid moan
Those colours moving
In snake-like stir
That shivering touch
Brings me back
Those cherished things
Held by the guards of memory
Nurses by the maidens of dream
Have I forgotten
That emotion
That ignites
My own Revolution;
And Concealing that Feeling
It's Like a Stab in my Chest
