Vicarious Love, Surya: Prose for a Pose Series
She glares through the night and her whispers begin to drift...
When you sleep I miss you
When you're gone I miss you
Again she whispers...
Realizing her defeat, her exhaustion
Strange to see how long my soul's been searching
But now I've met my match
Although it's good, although it's great
The taunting pattern will not fail her
What's the catch?
The thief! he glares back at her
Gnarls and speaks so swiftly...
You see the beauty here, but it's not yours
Your heart but still contains locked doors
You'll not allow, un-tame, or budge
Your curse resides, alas you see
All you've got is fantasy
Vicarious Love- NO not yours
Vicarious Love- Unlock these doors
For if you don't your heart will mourn
You've left your path of what once was
But now all you have is Vicarious Love
Her somber sleep subsides...
Open your eyes, Can you see?
He gives, he wants, He's waiting!
The one who's been there all along
The soul who'll help you write your song
Don't you fear young dame
Go forth towards loves you'll feel no pain
You feel, You touch
Look deep into his eyes
Indulge in truth!
A sound, a strum, To hum the buzz of love
Astounds, no bounds, and chimes From me to you
Through the fading echoes of her solitude
The curse has come undone
Relinquish your heart, Let two minds be one.
Vicarious Love- through scarlet eyes
Vicarious Love- helps the pain subside
You've left your path of what once was
See your hearts joined your mind
They transcend up above
To relish in the verdures of Vicarious Love!
