Starlight Seen Through Veils of Tears - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows

Is it a Belly of Muscles I see shaping underneath that

turtleneck?

I never ever dreamt having the rusty trunk of a car

against my Backside…

That’s poison for my piles, the street is glimmering,

'cause it had rained all

night.

Please, do not think that I don’t appreciate your

generous Offer of a Ride…

home.

I am curious now, how many pirouettes can a straight

Man like you spin,

until his Compass-points all begin to blur, and his

Needle finally gives in?

Am I expected now to do my best and try to catch you

when you fall?

But you’re a heavy Guy and like this we’ll only end up

lying on the floor.

Look, what the Rain has done,

snow-white has scattered her Mirrors like petals on the

Ground.

So I sense a one-eyed Serpend

rising slowly now from behind this old thundering

Cloud?

Was it a trick of the Evening-star,

or had I been blinded by the passing lights,

Could it be that I really saw myself reflected in his

green-grey Eyes?

It’s hard to waltz precissely when his towering stature

casts its Shadow all

over me.

But since he’s leading now (anyway), I might just as

well step onto his feet…
