Theatrical Muse 331: Talk about something you used to love.

Do you expect me to sing of a queen?
Some temple-dancer who called for my scene?
Twirling in draperies, scarlet and green
Someone who …. Ahhh, that was then.

I might remember a drink that we shared,
Dark golden nectar in glasses that flared,
(Hearing her shriek at a beggar that dared…)
Someone who … ahhh, that was then.

(I heard the slaves sing their chorus,
Up at the temple of Horus.)

That was a Summoner bright as a star,
Called me out knowing, and set to go far,
I still remember the songs in that bar,
Ahhh, that was then, that was then.

That was a Gig with a last act to throw.
I smoked away just to finish the show,
When I returned, Girl - where did you all go?
Ahhh, that was then, that was then.

(I liked that tavern, “The Mantis”
Sometimes I still miss Atlantis.)
