smiling through the smoke

Those last moments descended

On our window pane.

Falling through the night

your teardrops fall through the sky

watching the moonlight.

 

*

 

Voicing truths inside

the world's coffin gets tighter

closer to the end.

 

 

(Noel Scott Engel (January 9, 1943 – March 22, 2019) better known by his stage name Scott Walker, was an American-British singer-songwriter and record producer who resided in England. Walker was known for his emotive voice and his unorthodox stylistic path which took him from being a teen pop icon in the 1960s to an avant-garde musician in the 21st century)

Hi John. Glad you like this. I had read somewhere of the interest in Julius Evola by Scott. Somebody I need to re-read a bit off. Cheers m8.

I know he was interested in the counter-Modern Traditionalist perspectives of Julius Evola. Very interesting man and good Haikus too.

Me too Steven.. I can see why he shocked people a bit back with of the lyrics to 'Next' and 'Jackie' for example too.

I loved his Jacques Brel renditions.

Thanks guys.. Just a little homage to excluding possibly Mark Hollis (Talk Talk) and Paul Buchanan (The Blue Nile) - my favourite male vocalist.

In your poetry
words sing
music spins
forever playing.
