Farewell my concubine
Farewell my concubine
no longer to be my white-armed Hera
never again will I run my fingers through
you’re golden Aphrodite
Le Femme Fatal, beware the goddess
who’s bullets aimed true?
You slant your eyes at me
and I melt all over you.
Eclair! French Amazon!
Amazonis gaulica!
Your voice like Monroe on a hot day
your body like a plentiful earth mother.
In Black and white
you came out best
In purple and red
I took you to bed
sweet raptures of snowflakes
and pine needles stuck in your clothes
after sex in wild places
you’d never been before.
Under willow trees where
Nymphs play
I made you mine
my concubine.
Your smile was the sweetest
thing I missed the most.
But in silver and black
you won’t come back.
Because I’ve driven you out of my life.
I treated you
the whore
and came back
for more
but always I hid things from you.
I quelled the friction
before it sparked fire,
but still all things must come to pass
even though I loved your ass.
I grew up and you
grew away
gone off to become
Queen for the Fairies
of Disco-Rave.
I always knew that
you were a Nymph
but I never knew
that you were mine.
So fare thee well, my concubine
for that is all that you were
I treated you the whore
intellectually a bore
and now I leave you behind.
You have your Fairies
and I have my memories
as I search on for my
Athena amour.
