CHAPTER 1
PART ONE
Dinosaur Diner
Dinosaur diner
Luxury ocean liner
Crystallizing ocean
The air is getting finer
The weather is gone
Everything is perfectly still
Prepare to embark
On the Coupe Deville
-----
Coupe Deville
A Vehicle with no driver
Magical ocean diver
Prepare to contrive
Dinosaur diner
Travelling the plain
A land with no rain
A lover is born
Bring out the china
Ending in death
Beginning with life
Tell me now
Which one is finer
-----
Stove
Light dances on smoke
In front of blue velvet drapes
It comes from the stove
Where red embers lie
Woods flesh dying
Interpret the scene
Logical machine
Don't cry
Scream
-----
Ink on Paper
Glittering glowing future
The past has now reached us
Begin to create
The infinite escape
Dark silk veil
Eyes and a smile
Life is the unveiling of darkness
It is the pain in your mind
For you know not
From whence it came
Just ink on paper
Does not matter
-----
Ice
Come onto me
Like a dream
Then leave me
Alone on the scene
Behind the mask
Is a chemical crust
Magic and inviting
The lust keeps biting
Caught in a web
Its own device
Internally fed
On liquid ice
-----
More
Expect life
Project life
Live for hope
All that you need
Is everything you want
Always room for more
Faint hope for a whore
-----
Thought
Delicate perfumes
Instruments of passion
Your mind is the tool
Existence but a pool
A multitude of thoughts
Enter my head
Trying to make sense
As each one heads
Into another
They gently smother
Deciphering thought
While emotions confuse
What a wondrous state
To have to muse
-----
Bleeding Moon
Select and reject
The thoughts in your head
Remember they are sublimely fed
Confused emotion turned into art
I know this means nothing
Except to my heart.
Mask of protection
Internal selection
Of protected aggression,
A balance of tensions
Levels of pretension
Love deceives, it weaves,
It creates two scenes
When the need is relieved
You start to bleed:
Trying to decipher
Love from lust
The chemical crust
Forms a mask
Feelings of comprehension
Forgiveness is just a pretension
The emotions you feel are real.
Perceive red
The moon has bleed.
-----
Reach
In moments of pain
I turn to my pen
Black clouds rain
Words are my friend.
When the world gets too much
And you think you can't cope
Remember your stuck
Cling to faint hope.
Live through each second
Feeling the pain
Think it's not worth it
Try to refrain.
Slave to the body
Sentenced to life
Freedom is near
Reach for a knife
Knife to the throat
Weigh up the balance
Think of faint hope.
Is life worth it
Or is it a joke?
-----
Breath of the Unknown
When your closer to the end
It's easier to pretend
You have that certain something,
Something more profound
Perhaps in relation
To some sound.
Heart beat rise
Heart beat fall
Breath of the soul
Heart beat stall.
-----
See Through
Fairly transparent it's clear to me
All that I want is near ecstasy
Prolonged enjoyment a heart fulfilled:
Never enough the hour glass spills.
Loneliness spills into a heart
Minute by minute it tears it apart
For all that you want
What do you give
Reach out and touch
Try to forgive.
Hearts lay in waiting
To be fulfilled
The invisible search
In an abstract field.
-----
Acceptance
Constructs of linguistic pleasure
Scenes of heartfelt warmth
Beneath the lies
Lust cries
To be fed.
Hungry burning passion
Can never be appeased
One is not enough
Must taste all the leaves
Delicate balance
Feelings of guilt
Two people meet
Emotions tilt.
Living in a world
That you know so well,
Can't help but feel
The enchanted spell:
Senses project into the mind,
Mind dwells and dwell
On all t hat is behind
Sensual sonority
Of sentimental illusions,
Invasion of dreams
Reality screams.
Hide your unhappiness
In everything you do,
String it along
Try for a coup.
Prestigious moment
Of untold glory
Gentle contact
Of sullen emotion,
So we have arrived
In each other's eyes
Take off the disguise.
Private moments
Of exotic bliss
Two people connect,
Nothing is missed.
-----
PART TWO
Mist
The Dream Engineers are quicker
To perceive your presence
When the mist is thicker,
It reveals its essence.
The mist is an unseen world
Of thoughts and feelings.
Welcome to the land of resurrection,
Enter the next sphere of self perfection.
My heart is twisted
With myriads of pain
Delusion rocks my soul
Confusion totally in control
The time bomb is ticking,
Feel the fear licking
Your wounds of reality,
Feel the pulling of it's
Painful clenches as it
Vibrates through you.
Man in the mirror
Feel the pain
Be the same
As your claim
In the mirror
Abhorrent
Obscure.
-----
Clown
A perfect incantation
Ceremonious celebration
Tonight we have the pleasure
To seduce the icy weather:
We are all innocent victims
Of the treacherous nightly feather
That descends upon the town
Like a hideous perverse clown.
I was in a house, empty though it was,
Staring through the window
At the wind blowing through the trees.
There's no rain under the trees,
The soft sullen breeze
Vibrates in silence through the leaves.
Emptiness all around
Suddenly I found
A world all my own,
A paradise, a corner stone.
In this world there was magic,
Emptiness was gone,
In its place
I found the mist
An endless list
Of things I felt,
Confusion and strife controlled and concise
I salute the shadows as they sing for me
A gentle recognition
That does not disturb the fear,
The searing heat at your feet,
Come along take a seat.
With your mouth you try to speak
But your soul is far too meek.
-----
Dalgety
The Dalgety Inn
Compounded in sin
Here come those to live,
The wanders, the travelers,
The ones that society
Has no power over.
To travel within
The decision is made,
Reputation is laid.
Where is this within?
Will we suffer and need
Tragically indeed.
A scream in the park
A yell in the dark
Will we embark
On a murderous ark?
The ark of thought,
Together we have brought
This reality into existence.
So here we are, we all take part
In this marvelous play of existence.
We hear our name
Respond in vain,
Hope
That we will receive
Never a thought,
That we might resort
To the abhorrent
Game of giving.
The church has electric gates
So no one can escape.
Those who do not follow
Shall not swallow
The bread of life,
Never enough to suffice.
We sit here and slowly negate
The purpose of our escape.
The pain unfolds,
In the mirror it dissolves.
Come as you are
Inhibition stay far,
There is room for all
In this land of milk and honey,
A world run by money:
Is it as fair as we think
Or is it starting to stink?
The arousal of thought
Hear the voices screaming,
The lyrics are teaming
With images of doubt.
Is it you or is it him
Or maybe someone in between?
Let the voices become a team
For it is friends that you need In
the world of the weed.
-----
Montre
All you have to do to see
Is be able to be aware:
Those who seek shall find
The mirror in the wall behind
Conscious reality.
With these letters we construct
Our words, our language:
In this game of pleasure and pain
Abstain from the needs of the body,
After all it is life that we seek
Not the pleasures of the meek
But the wondrous glory
Of those who seek
Spiritual perfection,
Who will reap
The benefits of
Eternal life
Like the Christ
Who gave His life
For all mankind
So we may find
The land of glory.
-----
The Crossing Over
Dark art from an eclipsed angel
So you think you're the one
Think again
For he is surely your friend,
But then again I could be wrong
For the night is strong,
Fearful sinful and tearful.
Who will you call for?
When fear has entangled you,
Is trying to strangle you
The crossing over.
-----
Lights
We are about to begin:
You find yourself there,
Abstract concepts
Infernal lights.
You want interaction,
But the game is so complex
You're scared you won't
Pass the test.
I have sunk into the abyss
Of eternal gist.
Spare me your sorrows, I
don't live for tomorrows.
Weapons of defense,
Feelings of repent.
You think you heaven sent:
The serpent's just been lent.
-----
Searching for the End
Empty days
Life is a haze
Hopes dismayed
Dreams betrayed
For beauty you look
Love mistaken
Mind affair
Love in pairs
Evil stare
Beauty dares.
Out of confusion comes creation,
Smooth soft sullen feeling
Make it good used blues,
In a room she suddenly moves.
You don't know where to turn
Inner burn leaves a scar,
A golden star
Forever you are.
Sometimes life is hard to face
In reality: of your dreams
There is no trace.
Look through the window
To the other side,
There your fears and inhibitions
Will subside.
Eternity looms
Before it dooms
Your hopes,
Your wishes:
Take a last look
Through your eyes
At this vision.
Who will you turn to
In your moment of need,
It's painful I grant you
But just you please bleed.
Know that I love you
Know that I need
It's pain that is granted
Blessed indeed.
Bliss, sin,
Love, fornication,
Dove, inauguration,
Time.
The serpent's silky skin shone
From within the frozen pond:
His existence still
No movement of will.
Fly
Flying
Forever trying
To keep your head in the clouds,
Your feet off the bleeding ground,
Your world forever high
A tear fell from your eye.
It can't be beat
Feel your feet
Love the heat.
Empty hearts
Stay apart
For fear of falling
Just keep stalling:
Freedom is near
When you lose the fear,
Do the deed
Make it bleed
Suffer and seethe.
Feel it from them
Their all your friends
Don't pretend
It'll never end.
Instant action
No refraction.
A clear cut image
To envisage
From within
Begins the sin,
The white dove
War with love.
-----
There
Life has no meaning
For those who are deeming
To be correct in every respect.
Just one more scene
Then I'll go clean
I'll be a machine,
A product to produce
I won't be seduced
To the nasty scene.
You can't avoid despair
It has to be there,
Imagination run wild
Makes us a child.
It's easy to be there
Just stare
Or don't you dare
Montre.
Sunshine again,
Find your friends,
Slippery thoughts you can't hold
On to, images you can almost
Feel escape your understanding.
In harmony
I will be free
From chains
And pains
That affix my heart,
My single part.
Tortured art.
An empty room
An empty heart
Can you tell
The two apart?
Is it love
Or is it lust
Or is it something
You can't trust?
It drives you mad
It makes you sad
Do you wonder
What you have?
