With lean feet I capered above the snug grits, by peals
Inlaid with black and bells, once I cavorted…
Amongst the chimes the rumors evade, tears did not hesitate.
Curses relied on my weary back, as gods forgot the recipes.
Limping through coarse jests and gags, as a wretched under the howling bridge
Copulated with the anathema of my life.

Once I cavorted between trees and marble squares, thought petals would never fall.
As boundless autumn blows, tales impoverished and colors atrophied.
Owls have abandoned the halls of echoes, pages raved, bells whined.
Sewed the nights when I frisked, while hearsays seized a foolish hat…

Scars instead of eyes, but ears shall hear a howling bridge.
Forever I shall chime, forever as a jester
Frisking gloomy dances, peal by peal, capering above dry herbs.

Smiles collapsed toward the squares, echoes of owls.
Forever I shall chime, forever as a fool
Unhearing rumors evade, and tears does not hesitate.

I think there is alot of hidden meaning in your words and it bugs me to know see it as it should be seen, but sometimes the hidden secrets are the most precious. The flow of your words has gained hypnotism status almost.. A thin blanket to sheild heavy emotion corrupt.

Love your work

Thank you so much and glad you love it...

sometimes the hidden secrets are there because you can't talk about it, afraid or just unable to do it...

Your work never fails to impress does it? Excellent use of vocabulary of course. "Copulated with the anathema of my life."<--Love that line. Really interesting thought... Nice word choice as well. I also really like how you repeat "Once I cavorted", but since it's said twice I have some urge to see it toward the end as well... perhaps that's just me being odd. Another suggestion I might make is in " thought petals will never fall", it follows "once I cavorted"...So, mightn't it be "would never fall"? Or if you would indeed have it as will, should it not be in quotations or italics to show it as thought? That's trivial though, and I could easily be far off track. Would you hate me if I asked your inspiration? I know it must be rather personal, but I can't quite grasp exactlly where it came from. Rumors are mentioned, and you being a fool because of them... The line "unhearing rumors evade" confuses me a bit simpley because it is actually the rumors you are referring to as unhearing?

Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL piece. Amazing imagery, you're just an incredible writer.

thank you so much for the comment...

I think you're right about the line " thought petals will never fall"...
My inspiration? well, this poem came out from the "Nocturnal Jester" who became a character in my life, at the first it was a poem i wrote about myself, and now it's kinda a part of me... it gives me lot of inspirations and ideas...

The "unhearing rumors" are the feelings i thought i'll never feel, the things i didn't believe in, or i didn't want to believe in, denied everything... wish i could explain it, but i don't think i can explain it in writing... (and english is not my first language)...

and again, thank you...

Oh, quite welcome mon cheri!

Perhaps...
I like the name for this character... Interesting way of writing as well.

Ahh... I think I get the basic idea. I wasn't aware that english is not your first language, you write far too beautifully in it. What is your original? How long have you been speaking english?

Welcome of course :nod:

My main lanuage is hebrew, and i never wrote a poem in hebrew, i don't like this language...
My english of course is from school, but most of it is from reading...

Well you have better skills in English than most English-speaking people do... Quite an accomplishment if I do say so myself.
Heh, they try to teach us languages in school, but unless that's really what you're trying to study you never become fluent.

:iconnocturnal-jester:
well... i'm not so good in English, maybe my vocabulary is kinda wida, my grammar is shity :P
as i alway say, if you want to learn something, learn by yourself, school only gives you the sheets...
and as my shirt says, all i need to know about life, i learn from killing smart people and eating their brains ;)

And I think I want your shirt =D
