Scholars lore.
By Dancing_Monkey
Beside me walks,
A living organism,
Characterized by voluntary movement,
The beast of non reason.
Caressing the walls of learning,
Incompered, silenced, incaged,
Under wings of dragons.
Good fortune bestowed. satisfied?
Never!
Vide infra. Streets of sin.
The wolves roamed the wild lands once.
freely. Did you hear the calling?
Of totem, struck by prayer,
Scholars lore!
Again the shadow feel,
Upon plains; Moist.
Unity of three,
Triangle of sisters.
Undertake the darklings of tommorow,
Teach them the learnings,
Ages of sorrow.

The hidden wonder...just because you don't believe in Magick...doesn't mean IT doesn't believe in you...a truly mystical piece. Leads to the inner core of universal thought. We are, It is.

Woah I hate commenting on poems saturated with comments... It just seems unfair but talent must be complimented... Deeper meanings plague this work and thought is provoked, always a good thing... Daunted I am by a talent i admire :)

This is one of my favorites of yours, dear primate. It has the color and melody of beauty combined with the lore of a scholar... a very enjoyable combination.

I expect to see this in some kind of hidden chronicle of the future. A book of Nostradamus like passages of history and saddend hope of unrepeated actions and nature. Your writing is stunning. ~JMDW~

the referene to the unity of three brings to mind the weird sisters in Mcbeth and the way they predicted the future, the totem leads to ancient customs when the world was purer,

I'm struck by the beginning. (The whole damn thing is good, don't get me wrong.) And all I think is humanity, and then I suddenly note the irony in this written by one who calls himself "monkey". But maybe I'm just random. *giggles*.

A quote "And I hope they throw a stone at a window for me when im gone". Yea said before he went out of one himself. But it all remains, no matter the endings, and so I do not see this as a personal poem.

Damn monkey I've read this one about 20 times now and I'm still boggled but I definitely enjoyed the read every time. Maybe it's just about teaching someone else from your own mistakes but there's got to be more to it. Hmmm
