CLOUDS OF PURPLE



      LOTUS BY SECRET GARDEN................
                                                                    
       the song I was listening to when I wrote this poem

                      






Clouds of Purple



Never did I think that it would go this far
This madness of the heart
This mind seduction
And wildness of the blood,
I only thought to love you with my eyes.

I only thought…..........

But it was beyond my control
I know that now
I made the mistake
Of letting you touch my skin

Your hand on my forearm
As I stood there in the marketplace
Perusing silks and satins
Testing their softness around my wrists
And imagining it was you.

Let me buy this for you, you whispered
And all the world fell silent
And was populated by the two of us
Standing alone in the vanishing crowd

I gave in to longing.............
A willing captive to your touch,
As I whirled and entangled us
In clouds of purple.

DON'T LET THEM TAKE YOU TO ROOM 101







   
                               

                 music by NatureWorld 1986.......                          
 
                         start music on loop now for full effect





Don't
     Let Them Take You 
                               To Room 101





Down the corridor, in the dark, there's a room
Where the end of your dreams comes to pass
Where the night swallows day and all hope fades away
And you kneel on the shards of black glass.

Where they take you when you don't obey
When you stand up for reason and right
Where the tormentors meet you to play
And you have no more strength for the fight.

In a house without freedom on a cruel city street
With no knowledge of good or of bad
Where the men march like puppets to a song they can't sing
In a world, like a nightmare, gone mad.

We've seen them take the dissidents there
Heard them scream for long hour after hour
We've cleaned up the blood of the penitents
Who gave in to the power of Power.

Up high on the hill, there's a tower
That listens to every breath that you breathe
Records all your thoughts and reports them
And then runs them through a memory sieve.

They cannot have rebellion here
They cannot take the chance
Before joy takes hold and you've grown old
They take your song and dance.

And all the armies of innocent men
To war and death, they run
They tell us we must kill and die
Till all the world is One.

But if you dare and if you care
They knock you to your knees
You must conform or you will harm
The other worker bees.

So they take you to the house of pain
And all your memories skewer
Regard them with their cold dead eyes
And replace all that was pure.

Our brother was one, such as this
With dreams and schemes and plans
He was a rebel, wayward, bold
Who disdained their demands.

They took him in the dead of night
They put him in a cage
With hungry rats to claw his eyes
He howled away his rage.

So he's a conformed comrade now
His orders take, with pride
His body marches with the rest
But there's no one inside.

They took his soul in room 101
And ground it in to dust
So we all do our best to exist
Like the leaders say we must.

There is no place for private thought
Or feelings that upset
We must rewire our feeble brains
Or they'll make us regret.

And all our lives, we work and die
For the leaders that we trust
And give our all to that great Call
Until they're through with us.

Still, in the night, when it is quiet
We whisper in the gloom
Ask questions till someone shushes us
With a reminder of "the Room."

Down the corridor, in the dark, in the house
Where the tormentors laugh at our fear
They know we will do whatsoever they say
For there are no men living here.

We are just numbers, we have no names
We have no dreams left to dream
They've erased all our minds, made us willing and blind
But they can't make us forget how to scream.

Watching The Worker Bees


Watching The Worker Bees

Those eyes, those eyes
Those ever present eyes
See them? No, not really?
But they see you.

We have our blinders on now
Handed out at red carpet affairs
By handlers who handle Hollywood
And all it's luminous stars.

Look! A new HD show starts!
Isn't it fascinating?
See how they laugh in our faces
While hiding the plan in plain sight?

Years ago when innocence still lived
(At least in me, but no, not now)
I thought kings were good and ruled in wise judgement
And queens and princesses, benign and so fair.

But they have taken off their masks now
And their iniquities are revealed
So arrogant are they, they, with their blue bloodlines
And reptilian eyes.

Look! No, don't look!
(It was a camera zooming in)
Don't let them see you see
Or the men in black suits will be calling.

When I was a kid
A big brother was a marvellous thing
Someone to be adored and followed
Not something to be feared.

I don't like this world anymore
It is not my world, nor is it yours
Despite the fact that you still live here
And you still believe what they tell you.

I would shake you by your shoulders, friend
But would that wake you?
No, I thought not
I'm just a lunatic, full of paranoid conspiracy theories.

You know the old joke?
Just because you're paranoid
Doesn't mean they're not out  to get you
Oh, look! Here they come now! Ha Ha.

I had a dream last night
I dreamed that a knight on a white horse
Came to rescue me and I was so happy!
But when he found me, he cut off my head.

We can't even escape in our sleep now
Their influence is everywhere, everywhere
See, my body is shutting down and there's no cure
So I have to take medicine to sleep and wake up.

Look! Is that a black heliocopter?
Is he taking our picture, that guy, with the goggles?
Well, get used to it. It happens all the time now
Yesterday I found myself on Google holding a Bible.

My grandmother told me to
"Come out from among them heathens!"
When I was a child and didn't know daylight from dark
But now I do, but I don't know where to go.

Perhaps you'd better not hang out with me anymore
It could get you in trouble
See, I know too much. (Not nearly enough)
But enough that they want me silenced.

Did you hear that?
There's someone on this line!
Hello? Hello! Are you taping me?
Haven't you got enough evidence yet?

You know what?
I don't care anymore
Like Mulder said:  The Truth is Out there!
And it's in here, down here in my heart.

I just want to tell everybody that truth
I just want everybody to Wake Up
And see what's happening before our faces!
To know the Truth so the Truth can set you free!

Friend, you really have been a friend to me
And I appreciate you listening and feigning interest
Sometimes I think I'll go crazy knowing what I know
But you've been there and I appreciate it so much.

Who are you talking to? Is someone there?
Oh. I thought I heard another voice on your line
Well, I guess....oh, hold on a minute, there's someone at the door
*Door crashes in* *Phone is dropped* "Down on the floor, traitor!"

My God, this cell is so tiny
I can't breathe, I can't see the chemtrail laced sky
I hear sounds outside that I don't want to think about
Was that a scream? Was that something falling?

Oh, look! A little light pierces the darkness
Who's there? Can you help me? Who are you?
And a camera flash destroys my vision and I sink to the floor
And eyes of every shape and size blink on and watch me while I cry.

It's Probably Me

 

Take Away Your Pain Dedicated to every hurting man out there that needs to let go and be made whole

 













Take Away Your Pain


The world is full of pain they say

And that's proven to be true

For pain is all I ever see

When I look at you.


A tortured soul with wounded eyes

Huddled all alone

Looking like a broken bird

With no nest to call home.


Heart full of massive injuries

A ball of unwound hurt

A man of pride but deep inside

You feel you have no worth.


It makes me mad to look at you

And the schemes that you employ

To hide the fact that you're off track

And such an sad, lost boy.


When I could bring such joy to you

If it were just allowed

And I would humbly give my heart

If you were not so proud.


You're crippled by such bitterness

And a past you can't forgive

Fighting with every ragged breath

Each second that you live.


I wish you knew God's love for you

Before your strength is gone

 And that you would read that scripture

That says bitterness dries the bones.


Forgive me if I've hurt you

Forgive others that have, too

Don't hold to real and imagined hurts

But cling to what is true.


Pain, it is an awful thing

Believe me, I know it well

Pain can take a paradise

And turn it in to hell.


But love can heal the deepest cuts

And make one whole again

Just take my heart, and God's outstretched hand

And we'll take away your pain.
