If you could read my mind
You would flee the scene
like a gazelle in flight
haul up the drawbridge
lock yourself in the castle
with KEEP OUT signs in red
So we will continue to skirt and circle
around each other in not quite a tango
for not quite two people in carnivale masks
so we can never quite see who the other really is
until eventually we both disappear
into the stencilled wall paper as part of the design
Oh that's a great verse.. even more meaning each time every time.. that type of relationship can be quite destructive...
ReplyDeleteTI specially like the images of the second stanza - tango, carnivale masks, stencilled wall paper ~ Too bad for the relationship to go down this path ~
ReplyDeletea sense of belonging resonates here; have a nice Sunday
ReplyDeletemuch love...
I especially like the pace of the first verse.........it resonates.......
ReplyDeleteI think reading anybody's mind would be a scary (and foolish) thing to do.
ReplyDeleteQuite rightly so unless we make a concerted effort not to be drawn into such predicaments. Nicely Rallentanda!

Oh, I *like* this! That unspoken communication that destroys relationships.
