She pumps the pain
All access hurt
A short seduction
Four nights of mirth
One drunk admission
more blues champagne
his tears are flowing
tonight again
Allure’s a vision
Synapses reign
in love at midnight
aboard a train
That window’s frosted
and winter thrills
to watch them burning
from fiery sills
Love days are over
those times they were
like crescent shadows
where moon deceives
When tears were falling
with autumn leaves
she caught the dew drops
on silken sleeves
She pumps the pain…

This is absolutely mesmerizing. Truthfully one of my favourite scenes in the movie, even if it was tasteless in some aspects. There is definitely was something alluring about it, just like your words!

Thank you so much for reading. I’m a hopeless romantic myself, and am not a fan of gratuity either. I’m also a fan of Daniel’s Bond.

Oh I feel ya.. Me too!
I think the scene was very well executed. It would have been nice if it wasn’t right after a funeral. I’d say Daniel is the best Bond!😎

So true, Bond can be awful but as long as he’s Daniel Craig wearing Tom Ford, I will forgive him every sin.

Thank you, Jennifer. I have written and directed stage plays. I have a number of scripts in my archives. You came here near the end of an installation this year in March. And yes, this is meant to be narrated over an instrumental arrangement. It would be nice if I did that for a job. Thank you for your encouragement.

That is awesome, it just felt like that was your thing. Exciting stuff! You never know maybe a future job somewhere. I worked in theater for a few years after college, scenery stuff. Ive been milling around with an idea for a small one set play, have the beginning and ending but I need the middle part. Ha

Thank you so much, Lynn. You’re make a point, it ends by not ending. It’s meant to cycle through the lines randomly and gradually wind down, like a train rushing by. It’s hard to show this in writing but I’m glad you understood what I was aiming for.
