I Fell In Love With Belle Burch
Posted on May 7, 2014 by Royal Rosamond Press
The truth is out. I fell in love with Belle Burch almost the moment I lay eyes on her. I don’t think she knows how beautiful she is. Belle’s Beauty can wake the dead. She has the rare combo, beauty on the inside, and out. She is every man’s dream. I knew I had captured her in this video. My angel-muse told me that’s it.
“You have the end of your book ‘Capturing Beauty’. Now go! Run away! Lest something go wrong. It will never get better than this!”
I understood there was something already wrong. Belle is twenty-three, and I am sixty-seven. However, Belle doesn’t seem to notice. Is she this much of a flirt? For sure she is a model, for almost every frame is worthy of the cover of a fashion magazine. At least I think so. Maybe I am wrong. Or, I am in love?
Night before last I had a dream. I was gently kissing Belle’s long neck like Van Clyburn playing a Chopin Nocturne. I feel her resonating, her opening up. No harm in this. Now, kiss her hand, her fingers…..I woke myself up!
For two years now, I have had a untreatable sleeping disorder. My doctor told me I stop breathing many times during the night. This happens when I go into dream state, when I dream of my youth and happier days with my family. He asked me if I have a wife, who would wake me…….if? This is why I am desperate for an heir.
I am going to erase the events of our second meeting, and the truth I might have broke Belle’s heart. Because, can it be, Belle fell in love with me…..just a little?
I will make the case for older men falling love with a young woman, and vise versa, and leave it for prosperity, just in case there is ever such a meeting again. I doubt it. I know I will never fall in love again. I know there will never be a story like this one, about a beautiful princess who awakens a king – who must do all his deep dreaming in the world wide web. Belle, is my dream come true!
Stephanie at Gyzmobite taught me how to capture frames from our video. Artists have long owned this ability. Now, we are alone. Just my muse, my blue vase holding my brushes, and…..The Insprired One!
This is what I wanted. This, and nothing more.

Garden Belle

John Presco
Come to the garden Belle
in the springtime of more
dicontent
Will we plant again
in seperated peace
Will the police be summoned
and the Mayor
troubled
Again smell the lilac
from different plots
in the besieged city.
Quasimodo
fondles his bluebelles
that make his heart sing
the droning of the bees
the blue
coming out the top
of your head
the Maid of Notre Dame
Paris is burning
with love
Come to the pasture
Belle
be the Goat Lady
make war
pitch tents
recall our Idle Hands
For time does slip away
new homeless faces
making compost
with our dead ends
The old man is gone
who fell in love
with a violent Milkmaid
doesn’t happen everyday.
And now you know
now you know
Belle in her garden
with her seeds
making
exotic cheeses
for crazy anarchists
with Molotov Cocktails
