Good stuff - always appreciate something that's in other than 4/4 time!

This is Third in a series of Poems That Jo Richter has so Generously let me use. Anyone that has ever tried to write lyrics for a song, knows that good lyrics are hard to come by.  When i first read jo's poems, it was and is a cathartic experience. I hope i made a good song out of this GREAT Poem..

OLD SONG

Met the girl that Dürer drew
Spoke in dreams she did to you
Spoke of morphic co-creation
But, alas, she's no relation
Of the mage that has no clue

Took a girl to a ball on the moon
Where Milton's soul served on a dune
Had some bourbon, died of fear
Prophets wailed but dear queen Lear
Had no mercy on the loon

Venus painted on her bed
Sipped from grails of liquid lead
Do you believe, she asked, in rest
Or restauration, no man's quest
Will shroud the beauty of the dead

Was addressed on Stromboli
By a girl with eyes to see
Colours flared and clouds dispersed
On gilded shields for, oh, she nursed
Too many snakes to set one free

Found an ancient photograph
Of a girl engulfed in love
That smelled the rain about to fall
On pastures vain, she'd charmed some shawl
To conceal her just enough

Travelled to the promised land
Where the knotted throngs disband
Love's ancient goddess held a rally
In some lone deserted alley
On a rostrum made of sand

Do you know a place to be
A chalk-cast fresco asked of me
My wings are small, I cannot fly
And all my quiver has run dry
For Ovidus is exiled to Romany

OLD SONG.........a poem written by JO RICHTER (SONIC STRUCTURES AND SILENT STRETCHES)

Enceladus In Motion

tides

Miles of sad hearts
You of the death cult
Trying to break free of it all
But caught in the misery of the hurt

Miles of sad hearts
You’ve got a broken heart
Broken heart
Broken heart
Broken heart
Broken heart
Broken heart

Trying to break free of it all
Caught in the misery 

Miles, you’ve got a broken heart
Miles, you’ve got a broken heart
Miles, you’ve got a broken heart
Miles, you’ve got a broken broken heart

Miles of sad hearts

we should dance

Awake

Even

An old burnt out raver from the 90s with knackered ears, unable to hold together recent memories, being nagged at by his missus and trying to find time for techno production, which is slowly drifting further and further away into a soup of confusion.
