Salute.
(A lone voice whispers.)
I sensed it in the very depths of my soul
After I was allowed entrance
To here
To The Great in-Between
Where I've experienced the tragic tendrils of the loss of true love
You've ever seen
You are mine
No longer a sweet inquisition
Or a heartfelt instruction
But a proclamation of a sad reality
I could buy for a pocketful of dimes
From Scarlet Ladies of the Night
Who once stood in straight lines
At Ranch Deltoro
When I like so many mortal fools
Chased fame and followed blindly Mother Fortune
But now through liberation
From a new tune
From such climatic anxiety and desperation
My body trembles with this new thought and its expectations
Was it worth it?
Not looking for real love
Just bought love
In dens of immorality
And sorrow
Where sin persists
And now as I finally understand this
I'm at one with the bright lights of liberation
At one with that singular truth and bliss
As all is finally revealed in The Transmutation
Caused by The Purple Flame
The Purple Flame
Which can purge away
Any pain from any situation
I now know this as I heal
But it's too late
That when true love came
So softly knocking
Many years ago
Before Sin and Flaws tempted me to visit Ranch Deltoro
To engage in transgressions of God's laws
I should have dutifully kneeled and prayed
To save my soul
Years of sorrow
That would eventually find me one fatal day
