Daily, Nightly
First rock recording to feature the Moog synthesizer |
Darkened, rolling figures
move through prisms of no color
Hand-in-hand, they walk the night
but never know each other
Passioned pastel neon lights
light up the jeweled traveler
Who, lost in scenes of smoke-filled dreams
find questions, but no answers
Startled eyes that sometimes
see phantasmagoric splendor
Pirouette down palsied paths
with pennies for the vendor
Salvation's yours for just the time
it takes to pay the dancer
And once again such anxious men
find questions, but no answers
The night has gone and taken it's infraction
While saddened eyes hope there will be a next one
Sahara signs look down upon
a world that glitters glibly
And mountain sides put arms around
the unsuspecting city
Second hands that minds have slowed
are moving even faster
Toward bringing down someone who's found
the questions, but no answers

The editor, on a presumptous note
considers it his duty
to define the word PULCHRITUDE...
it simply means beauty

Poem so lonely
ReplyDeleteIs use of "pulchritude" usually associated
with women, your intention here?
Rather than think of poems
ReplyDeleteas lonely or lovely
or hot or cold
a poem is either good or bad.
"Pulchritude" was used in conjunction
with the other P-word
of the title...
A MONKEE page is nothing new
to Good/GodFatherland but a
Peetnik conversation inspired
this one.
Pfffft! This "P" word so comes in handy!
ReplyDelete"P" words have power & personality,
ReplyDeletethe Peetnik said.

Pleasures!
Phat? What?
A Plethora of P-words...
ReplyDeleteOh…
ReplyDeletePLEASE!
Oh…PLEASE...listen to the song...
Deleteall you have to do is one little clicky thing.
