You're an adventurer. you sail across the oceans. you climb the Himalayas. seeking truth and beauty as a natural state. You're a queen reborn. worshipped from above afar. some see you as an elixir. an elemental natural seeking perfect grace. In a catacomb. or cave of endless drawings. prehistoric or religious. your accomplishments prodigious. seeking out the perfect tone. Your language so clear. your voice perfectly turning. as in the city I sit yearning. blowing rings of smoke from thin cigars. or driving fast in foreign cars. to capture your remains huh. You're an adventurer. a turban wet wrapped 'round your head. on the mountainside they predict your death. oh how you fooled them all. But subjects are a poor excuse. when what you really want's a muse. an inspirating knowledge. of what comes before. Ooohhh speeds of light. the momentary flicker. of a candle in its wicker basket. smoking wax facts. Did you find that superior knowledge. that eluded you in college. Did you find that super vortex. that could cause your cerebral cortex. ooohhh to lose its grip. You're an adventurer. you were out looking for meaning. while the rest of us were steaming. in an inspirating. ah urban pit. An adventurer. you enter as I'm dreaming. I wish I'd never wake up. Differentiating scheming from my one true love. You're an adventurer. you love the angles and the cherries. the height and width of levies. the natural bridge and tunnels of the human race. You're an adventurer. nothing seem to scare you. and if it does it won't dissuade you. you just will not think about it. you dismiss it and defocus. you redefine the locus of your time in space race. As you move further from me. and though I understand the thinking. and have often done the same thing. I find parts of me gone. You're an adventurer. and though I'll surely miss you. and of course I'll survive without you. and maybe good will come of that. But at this point ah. I anticipate some grieving. and although I know your leaving. is a necessary adjunct to what we both do. An adventurer. splitting up the atom. splitting up the once was. splitting up the essence of our star-crossed fate. None who meet you. do forget you my adventurer. my adventurer my adventurer-venturer. my adventuress.
