To my Lucy...
Living Room
*
Rob, A vain young gentleman
Lucy, Rob’s lover
Zephyr, God of the west wind, bringer of spring and blossom
*
Rob: How beauty! How beauty!
That is, unmatched by the swans
Spotless still, as a God’s duty
I’ve been tied in a heart glance
Shine with me this time, Lucy
Shine or else, I’ll be put to death!
Ready when you’re willing, come on do me
Oh! Come on do me!
*
Lucy: I’m spotless’d by love, that’s spot on
And my shape is hot, you could say so;
Don’t praise that on God, can’t really you tell?
My marbled body’s my flaw I’m afraid
The devil a perfect body has given,
Naughty selfless driver has he not
For tonight may you dub me forgiven
My naive ashamed body, to dance, won’t
*
Rob: Take my hand and let me guide you
Through obscurity, wilderness of night
Soul without remorse. My nazarene love
Don’t your heart press against your thought
When the music and the mesmerizing spirit arrive.
Please! Lady of Camellias!
Please! Scare this Lamia!
I can feel your beating frenzy to dance
I can see it through your fanned eyes
And the pale white skin your rashness dyes
Give in to you, take the chance
Hear the rhythm the sparkling night chants
Suffocate blindly to our spiritual chanc
And take forever this perpetual trance
*
Lucy: I will give myself in
I’ll dance to the night
I’ll dance with you now
And the devil inside feel!
*
(Zephyr enters from an open window, shaking Rob and Lucy)
*
Zeph.: Dance!
Revolve around
Swirling pattern of no fate
No fate and life!
Reject destiny
embrace the limelight
Dizzy is your head after being brave enough to shout
And shout!
Avoid the danger with your twisting hip
Love has the sound of your upright chin
Orthodox hand goes from belly to your side
While the craziest one goes revolving to the sky
Belle Berry hangs both bashes,
and such blessed bitter flower it glooms from.
With reason, all eyes are on you
You!
Earrings needless as you shine like a pearl
As though diamond deeds rested on your face
Jump higher, and higher levitate
Your shadow projects to Earth,
but it is in the sky that you dance
The moon-bringer envoy witnessed
By whatever heart that hears your presence
God’s whispering over me your breath
Zephyr winds and shimmering lights coalesce
*
Rob: Oh, this dance! I hope it never ends
Follow my body, follow my soul
Your shape fits so perfectly
In its hollowless hole
Laugh since the fever your vanity stole
I see how your feeling extends
My Pretty Danube Pearl
My Protected lustred bird
*
Lucy: Ah, the dancing fever
My steps, happily mourning
Oh, for the fear unconceived
And a spring they are yearning
So, to in bosom of love be received.
Flashing memories as stars go by
And projected from my gaze into your eyes
Rob!, Rob of love and caress and freedom!
Take me now, show me how
*
Rob: Who is there to appreciate
Other than me?
Who is there who can say
“Lucy loves me”?
Mine is your sight and your strength
Through your eyes, I will see
With your arms, I will dance
And the soft touch of your fingerprints
Makes me seek more hints
Of the love that I grasp,
Of the love that I need
When the tempo changes I’ll clasp your hips
As soon the wind enters, your dance it will fix
*
Zeph.: How sweet and idyllic is love
That, when thought lost and forbidden,
With an embrace of goodness, it comes
Nevertheless! Nevertheless!
Oh, Lord! Nevertheless!
Darkness forces are attracted
Like flies to the sweet scent with wrath
And strike with madness in Hope’s path
Often times resulting in tales
Way off worse than those love can tell
Give me strength! Zeus, Apollo, and Artemis!
Please give me resistance, and ease to forget
How the love of these lovers
Will come to an end…
