Unspoken Love Song of the Heartbroken




Are we the broken
Just unconsciously

Attracted 
To the broken


Is it simply 
The unspoken
Love song 


Of the heartbroken


For Love is now just frozen in time 


With
Arms 


No longer wide open 


As
Eyes now dimmed
Filled with no emotions 


Pray for someone new
To bring hope in


But as tears run
Down our soft skin


Soaking
In


Like the bluest of oceans


Is it then we slowly realise


It’s simply 

The oldest golden slogan

Of those

Who could never be happy


For we're the ones 
Who might never be chosen


Us
Who wonder these lands

 
Pretending to be happy 


As we go through
All gears and motions


Forever just wearing a mask


Smiling and always appearing on the outside


To be joking 

But deep down inside


We hide our  eternal soul 

Which is crying 


As it struggles to find true love
And for now 


Waits 
Standing still 


Quietly choking

Even In The Arms Of Heaven, They Still Return

In this turbulent storm, we are all silently walking through, I decided to share this audio book I wrote and produced for free.

For all those beautiful souls lost within its swirling winds.

Was it a dream or just another story from the other-side?
I will leave that for you to answer. Have you got 40 minutes free? Put some earphones in and have a listen. Salute. Within memories, they always return. Narrated by the wonderful, Linda Roper.

One day, I'd like to make this into a short film.

Don't Conform

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Could greed jealousy and racism  
be banished forever

Or would they still raise their spiteful endeavors

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would all divine emotions saturate everyone's skin 
regardless of kin

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would all the damn wars stop 
and their drumbeats stop beating

Would government officials agree 
and stop competing 

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would the less able and infirm 
The homeless and the old

Be simply looked after like treasured gold

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would it help us
Everyone and even just you

Would its eyes truly open
and dissolve this current covid gloom

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would it seek to eradicate this current vibration
A global corrupt corporate manifestation

Where the price of salvation is spent on wars 
And vaccine talk by so many inept administrations

Where food and agriculture 
is no longer a commodity 
of united nations

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would it turn a blind eye 
to starvation and drought.

Or would it solve its issues with compassionate hindsight

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke

Would we all live in peace
A place where no more palms where greased

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke and applied introspection

Would it like to embrace its global reflection

Where people starve and die of thirst

The rich get richer through
Total disparity on earth

Where wars and corruption 
A theme from Days of Old

Still drive Greeds search 
for more black gold

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke 
What great deeds would it do

Would it open its eyes 
and help me and you

Beyond the one percent 
but way down to those in tents

If mankind’s Consciousness awoke from its unrequited deep manipulated dream
Would love and compassion truly reign supreme

So many have dreamed of this magnificent dream

From philosophers, writers, freedom fighters and even beloved poets

Maybe this century 
Humanity wouldn't blow it

Is this but a blind man's dream

A man's who's not seen the true colors of a controlled 
 Narrative and carefully pushed memes for a new world kingdom

But who still dreams of freedom

Now press play!
Salute.

The Call of the Demerge

Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Salute.


.



The Call of the Demerge

I am that which is ageless

For I’m from beyond that thing in the midnight sky 

Called the Silver Moon
From a faraway place


My powers are ubiquitous

I'm the embodiment of all inner magick

Love power and peace
All fused in me 
Awaiting release


I’m the midnight shadow walker

The eternity enveloping your every moment

All around you
Wherever you are

For I'm that which is ageless behind the twinkling stars


For I’m from beyond the Crying Moon

From a faraway
Unknown Place

Of no unions and all mortal governments and secret societies

Sing to me

For I’m a conduit


Forever living under the silvery shadows of the Wolf moon

I appear at birth and revisit at death

To take you home


I’m the full mystical wheel that turns


I’m the lucky charm

That was bestowed to you at birth


The charm I will take back

Whenever you leave


If in me
You do really believe

For I’m a deep ravine
Of unknown riveting depths

Unsolvable by just one lifetime


I’m primal
Supernaturally
Curious


I can feel your eyes lingering


Absorbing and swallowing my
Every word


From my throne room
In which I now sit


Your presence wakes me

From my slumber

From afar

I know you’ll read
On and won’t quit


What do you need

Send me your thoughts

I’ll answer your numbers

Tonight


I'll send some love and light

Or some darkness


Maybe a sprinkling of my glorious
Second sight

To guide you through your struggles
And plights


Will you still worship me

Your new Goddess and Queen


For I send this message just for you

From my kingdoms

Just hidden in realms
You can’t ever see


Look to the stars

To the fall of the full moon


I am that which is ageless

For I’m from beyond
The Milky Way

From a faraway place

My powers are ubiquitous

For
I'm the embodiment of all inner magick

A multitude of
Love power and peace
Awaiting release


I’m the eternity of all you are

For
I'm the Demerge


A blending
Of two realities


A possibility to enhance

Your own individuality


Will you sing to me
Tonight

Now kneel and say after me

Blessed Be

Do you belong to me



Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Salute.



If I had the keys to the doorways of your mind
Would I help to heal  what I would find

Would it be endless drama and traumas
Or embers of hopes and dreams
As your inner realms screams

If I had the keys to the doorways of your mind
Would you trust me to heal what I would find

The signs and symbols
Unspoken or unsigned

Would my love for you
Still stay strong and aligned

Standing upright in straight blue lines
To help you climb out of deep pools
Of darkness and lies

If I had the keys to the doorways of your mind
Would I be enough for what I would find

To still love your grind
To walk with you
Until we cross the red finish line

Will all that pressure bring me down
Or would I walk on

To find 
That beloved place inside

Just for you and I
Until the day I die

If I had the keys to the doorways of your mind
Would I like what I would find

If I had the keys to the doorways of your mind

In time
Would you just love me

Like you were preordained
To just be mine

The Guitar Man


Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Salute.


And some still ask

Me


Would you sell
Your soul for a dime or a buck
If you ran out of luck


Would you sign
Across
The dotted line


For fame or fortune


Would you ride
On the back of one of
The Four horsemen



Would you do a deal
With the Devil in
Silence



Would you be owned by
Apollyon


As he welcomes you
Into the dark asylum


Or instead


Would you suffer

The mortal
Sins of Trying


To conquer those burdens
Or dreams
You're carrying


There's always shortcuts
To the very top



Only you can decide
To do the deal


Blow your trains whistle
And stop


To enter into its dark
Beauty shop


I'm just an old guitar man
Singing this old tune



Cos I
Done my deal
With the devil
Many years ago



They all called me up
Up asking



Johnny
How did it go



I just say


Sign on the dotted line
And then you'll know


For
I'm just a guitar man
Singing my own song



Done my deal
With the devil
Many years ago



I got so much money and
Riches
But only I
Know the secrets


And all the many others
Who sold out
For fame


We are but one of many
Who still
Whisper his name


I'm just a Sell-Out
Playing gigs in the dark



Praying my candle
Doesn't burn out
As I walk past

Arya Stark


Cos i
Done my deal
With the devil
Many years ago



Only I know the secrets
Where this life
On the road goes


To dark places
Filled with old faces



As I carry round
My many Louis Vuitton
Suitcase's

I love you Never sleeps

Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Salute.



When the moonlight opens
Up its starry sparkling gates

And the midnight stars
Seem to twinkle

And whisper your divine name

No matter how I feel
Anxious happy or sad

No matter how hard
My soul quietly weeps

Or smiles to the unseen ether
Swirling all around me

I now know the tormented anxiety
And sleepless nights

Quietly hidden with those painful three words

For

I love you

Never sleeps

Can two cheaters ever be truly happy?


Can two cheaters ever be truly happy?

A theme portrayed endlessly in soaps, drama's, film, but more realistically, life.

Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Salute.




We always meet
Under the moonlights priceless
Silvery rays

We dance like entwined
Consummated eternal lovers
Forever engaged

Married insidiously
By Father Darkness

Through our wicked
Salacious old ways

The thoughts of the world
And all outward consequences

Simply burn on our
Old relationships funeral pyre
And just float away

Carried aloft by the
Cold now dystopian
Midnight's air

This crazy relationship

Which once started as a
Facebook and Twitter
Conversation

Now such a thrilling
Exhilarating irreducible dare

Is now my every
Breathing prayer

This may last or may break

It may end in a heartbeat 
As we share a slice 
Of the Devil's

Delicious seductive cake

But you were always
Worth the risk and long waits

Your three words now just bind me
And sing for me

Whenever my green eyes close

Three words within eight letters
I just plead to hear

I love you

It just keeps me starstruck
Like a Hollywood big actor

Lost on your big screen
Projector

Regardless of our sin and
Our unspoken marriage

As we ceremoniously
Slide through dark shadows

Like unseen lepers

I know we'll win
And buy that dream
Together

For
We're just one
Of the worlds many
Unknown sinners

Swimming valiantly
In one of life's
Many deep rivers

Holding tightly
To each other as we
Sometimes struggle
To breathe

Trying to be
Together forever

Whatever this judgemental
World
Believes or conceives

Married together
Insidiously

Through our wicked ways
As we weave 

Gaslighting
Family and friends 
And lovers

Through shared
Machiavellian plans

To always deceive
