*****************************
Will a glass inlaid with gemstones
On a pool around the evening
Among the perfumed roses
Wait for her
With the patience of a packhorse
Loaded for the mountains
Like a stoic, noble prince
Wait for her
With seven pillows laid out on the stair
The scent of womens’ incense fills the air
Be calm, and wait for her
And do not flush the sparrows that are nesting in her braids
All along the barricades
Wait for her
And if she comes soon
Wait for her
And if she comes late
Wait
Let her be still
As a summer afternoon
A garden in full bloom
Let her breathe in the air
That is foreign to her heart
Let her lips part
Wait for her
Take her to the balcony
See the moon soaked in milk
Hear the rustle of her silk
Wait for her
Don’t let your eyes alight upon
The twin doves of her breast
Lest they take flight
Wait for her
And if she comes soon
Wait for her
And if she comes late
Wait, wait
Serve her water before wine
Do not touch her hand
Let your fingertips
Rest at her command
Speak softly as a flute would
To a fearful violin
Breathe out
Breathe in
And as the echo fades
From that final fusillade
Remember the promises you made
~~~♫♫♫~~~
She was always here in my heart
Always the love of my life
We were strangers, oceans apart
But when I laid eyes on her a part of me died
~~~♫♫♫~~~
The part that is envious
Cold hearted and devious
Greedy, mischievous
Global, colonial
Bloodthirsty, blind
Mindless and cheap
Focused on borders
And slaughter and sheep
Burning of books
Bulldozing of homes
Giving to targeted killing with drones
Lethal injections
Arrest without trial
Monocular vision
Gangrene and slime
Unction, sarcasm
Common assault
Self-satisfied heroic killers
Lifted on high
Piracy adverts
Acid attacks
On women by bullies
And perverts and hacks
The rigging of ballots
And the buying of power
Lies from the pulpit
Rape in the shower
Mute, indifferent
Feeling no shame
Portly, important
Leering, deranged
Sat in the corner
Watching TV
Deaf to the cries of
Children in pain
Dead to the world
Just watching the game
Watching endless repeats -
Out of sight, out of mind
Silence, indifference:
The ultimate crime
But when I met you
That part of me died
Bring me a bowl
To bathe her feet in
Bring me my final cigarette
It would be better by far to die in her arms
Than to linger
In a lifetime of regret

Imagine dedicating this song to your girlfriend and she's not getting it😑. The most romantic thing ever written by someone. Someone dedicate this to me, I will marry them instantly.

Спасибо.

[@billcharlie2602]

I like the "stop it America" sign on your screen Roger, how come you british never said that in WW2???????? youd be speaking german now if we stopped it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marshallzane7735]

Because WW2 was the last justifiable conflict that the US was involved in.

[@billcharlie2602]

Tell roger to thank us then. What would he be doing if the US never got involved????

[@billcharlie2602]

Sept 11 th was not justifiable at all. Talk to the families of the 3000 casualties.....idiot

[@HolyMuscleOfLove]

Actually we were speaking our languages, even if USA didn't enter the war, When USA came to the European theater things was ugly to the German, in their effort to defeat the Russians. By that time, USSR would only stop in Berlin, no matter who would fight in the western. United States had an important role in WW2, but it's hugely overrated! America were part of the victory, not the victory.

It was the Red Army that stopped the nazis! Forget the Hollywood propaganda. 27 millions of soviets died in order to free the world from fascism.
