The Monologue of Jimmy Jones


Press play before reading. Salute.



(A lone voice whispers)


Like a rare diamond

Our love once sparkled so brightly

It stopped passing Angels


It illuminated the darkest of painful nights


But like all incredible things

It slowly darkened over time 


As jealous voices started to sing


And as my heart starts to be more guarded as it slowly turns to stone as it hardens


I always look in moments of peace 


Like the son of Aeson, looking for the Golden Fleece 


Through my two-way scrying mirror to see your realm 


To see through all its many gossiping police


On so many levels linked to The Greatest of all Halls


Filled with The Arcana 


Past all the secret mysteries schools circling The Holy Cult of Hosanna 


And think


In the blink of an eye how life can suddenly change


One minute you're smiling and breathing in clouds of profound purple happiness


And then suddenly in an unfamiliar stillness and sensation 


Your heart is unexpectedly broken and put on a runway to reach new heights


In-flight


To find new clouds of spiritual  healing and to slow that grieving heart 


That's beating so fast and hard 


The world could probably hear it screaming 


This is for you


My beloved Tarzana from somewhere near Louisiana


I'll always miss your love and friendship 


For we will forever be kin


And when your world burns and the Four Horsemen appear


Offering a sip from their guilded bowls 


Overflowing with temptation linked to sin


I'll appear through my blue portal to painlessly help you crossover and come in


To here

My new place of abode


In the Glorious Silver City


So our true love can once more begin
