psychedelic shenanigans

 

There’s a place I go inside my head    
When on the inner paths I tread    
When my eyelids turn to led    
And I sink into my bed    
Pulsating pictures point the way    
As I drift by purple pelican bay    
where fully flavored gum trees sway    
and lickable liquorish leeches lay    
    
I dived into a sea of dreams    
In a yellow submarine    
A thousand miles past Pepperland    
I came to a shore of purple sand    
Where drifting dreamers in a daze    
Were not the slightest bit amazed    
to see bicycling butterflies    
Gliding past them towards the sky    
    
I wandered through a fractal forest    
To the big rock candy mountains    
Eventually I came to rest    
By a cascading crystal fountain    
In its clear and jeweled waters    
An angels face reflected there    
With a rainbow row of flowers    
Placed within her silver hair    
But as I turned around    
She was nowhere to be found    
Somewhere trees were falling down    
But they never made a sound    
    
There’s gold at the bottom of the well    
where devilish dooly doppers dwell    
They spend their spare time racing snails    
On the backs of turtle shells    
    
Cellophane sorcerers seal seven secrets in pristine prismic pyramids    
and place their cryptic scriptures on the wall where shiny silver beetles crawl    
Electric ladys lounge near a lagoon of liquid light as laughing leprechauns chase speedy sprites    
I watched a circus show that featured flying purple people eaters    
And alien acrobats turning somersaults and wintersaults    
without ever coming to a halt    
    
    
I sat with Humpty on a bench    
And told him "None of this makes sense"    
He replied with a sudden burst of laughter    
"does it even really matter?"    
    
I said" maybe not but anyway    
I must be off I cannot stay.    
I haven't much more time for play    
Ill come again some other day."    
    
So I caught a flight with Mr. Kite    
Until the land was out of sight    
I opened my eyes at 6:15    
And couldn't quite remember where id been

Tomorrow, yesterday will be today,  
yesterday was today, tomorrow.  
Tomorrow never came before  
Yesterday still makes me sore  
And all I have today is truly borrowed.

THE WHITE RABBIT

The jackpot has been hit,
The Kraken unleashed.

Artistic licence set rules,
To unleash the beast.

So someone like me just can't help themselves,
from telling you all of a the glorious hell.

Pulled in one way, pushed towards another,
The guilt and the sin cause pain like no other.

Sometimes you'd wish that the whole thing would stop,
I can I tell you how to do it, if you dare take the drop.

There's a place behind here, alongside it you might say,
You can't get there alone but with help, it's child's play.

I know how to get there, I know what you'll see,
The crispness of clarity, the air flying free.

The beauteous find is of course very fleeting,
Too much of perfection and you won't return from it's greeting

Follow the white rabbit, spin round and around
And soon you find yourself tumbling down to the ground

The facade we're all in will soon start to crumble,
As the new reality peels back, all the terrors become mumble.

Then all of a sudden you're back in your shoes
It was over too quickly, that feeling you lose

You'll follow the rabbit again and again,
Takes more and more effort to get back there my friend

You presence on earth is such a mundane escapade
The real world is behind it, you wish to just trade.

The problem remains, the only way to be there,
To be there with permanency gives you a scare.

Who cares of such things,
Mortality is mirage.

You know what's behind it,
You've touched it full blast.

And so you resolve to escape fully this time,
That's the last we will say in this solemn rhyme.
