Poetry: "Cherry Red on a Cloudy Grey"

(A poem that's been evolving since 1990)

    Cherry Red On a Cloudy Grey

    Two Colours intermix and just fade away

    If I only knew, how to find the two,

    Then perhaps someday you'll understand

   

    Two clouds kiss, they burst with tears

    I hid beneath the coloured dome

    But what am I to find

    In those emotions stored down deep inside

    Whatever you may do don't shut the door

    Cause if you wish it so

    Then Jesus says he's sorry you were born

    Though that's not what your life is all about

    If life was always just drinking pink champagne,

    With dreams to make you feel you’re in another world

    Where every day is fine,

    The real world will just be left behind

    What am I to find within the clouds today

    Two frozen hearts drift within The rain

    Still the colours that are red on grey

    That came to intermix and just fade away

    Falling through the colours of this prose

    Fragmented visions of petals of a rose

    A dream to tell you what was on your mind

    Though you might not care much any more

  

    The blanket's torn, the sky comes through  

    There’s a shining ray of Light

    To lead you to an ordinary world,

    Like that which you've always loved before

    Wherever it’s Dawning from

    Real as the sunlight cast upon

    The honey coloured moon that shines

    A trail to somewhere you’ve been dreaming of

    Don't trust me, I'm from a different world

    With claims to make your dreams last for another day

    Maybe you want me to give the game away

    And Leave us with nothing ever more

    And if I told you that I saw a UFO

    Maybe it was a bonfire through a kaleidoscope

    But when this dreams revealed

    I then too will also understand
