when for sweet music you earn
punishment for mysterious crimes
when the awful hand, cheating
ravishes the naked marrow
made vulnerable by love
when the world paralysed
seems to turn
....and turn
as the noble one begs for a mother's womb
and finds none...
know then
my friend
that we are created alone
to be born alone and to depart alone
know you that now
and before
before after
again
and now
men who have foresaken all games have died alone
forlorn
for having lived
for having loved
.......
oh love that consumes the loving man
oh love that makes vulnerable to the cheating hand
oh love answered with inexorable hate
oh love told and untold
oh thick warmth
oh father
oh floating fungus in the bubbling stream
forgive them
they dare not see
forgive them for they feel not what they do
and they feel not what they would not do

Dear Tarek;
The more times one reads this, the better it becomes. Very nice.
My comprehension is too low for this one. I keep raading it, but the anchor is cast to deep for me to fathom. Almost like a reflection of a poem or song that casts a long shadow in the mind but circles itself like a dog after its own tail. Not able to make a realistic comment. Just an observation from afar.
Orpheus was rent apart by the Maenads, at least symbolically & I suppose all gnosis maintains the relationship with the Beloved is indidual & individuated, good reading.
