Melanie Music Society

To Melanie - with love

Keep the show alive, babe
And make 'em a song
Sing in their hair,
Taking their tears for a moment
Warm your notes on someone's ears
So they applaud like echoes
In a haunted house
Sing for me in my Kaleidoscopic Tower
Fix the bricks with strumming chords
Make the door key solid sound
And take my mind on
This trip through your repertoire
Round we will spiral
Without disturbing each other's mind
Round our personal world of
Circular carpet and
Your own vocal inflections
Think I'll spiral and circle again
While you pour your heart into
Books of candles, to be Gathered, Affectionately
Don't ever let 'em take it from you
You've got your own Rainbow
I love it….. and you….

The Poem!! (For Melanie).

Your voice reaches through to my heart
My mind spins around your songs
Travelling on the wind
Through the jungle of my emotions
Your words are digging into my soul
Strengthening my ideals
And giving me a new view
Of life, love, up and down
I am refreshed
renewed deep in my soul
You always have a place in my heart
I love your music, your ideals
And you, 
Forever.

Music Box

My music box tinkles
So sadly it seems
Makes the sounds
That revolve in my dreams
But its not you who makes it
But a bit of black plastic
But until I see you
It's all that I've got
And until that plastic's worn away
That sound will never stop
But still I want to see you
You seem too beautiful to be true
Oh, I've got your picture
Hanging in my mind
Coloured ones as well
But they're only half a dream
And I still want to see you
I love you
They tell me you're married
But it's not like that (dontcha know?)
But for how long can a dream go on?
"You must know I think of you all the time"
And until I do see you
Beautiful person
Melanie
I do believe

Music (You Communicate)

Your music, it reminds me
Of summer breezes in May
It's rhythm blowing through my ears
As branches gently sway
It's the perfect form of happiness
I really ought to say
The music echoes through my mind
Your memories will stay
We forget about the bad times
And the troubles that we pay
'Cause the water's flowed beneath the bridge
And we're living for today
The beauty of your sound is found
In the gentle way you play
It's the peace that you communicate
Found no other way

Meeting Melanie

I sat there, listening to the radio
Luxembourg, Paul Barnett show
A brilliant flash of light did shine
Upon this dead old mind of mine
Words of wisdom in my ear
Banished was all ungodly fear
A record on the turntable
Words of truth, and life's fable
The music passed through my brain
But the message will ever remain
In my hidden mind's domain
The singer's name I can't forget
She saved me from a living death
Words of hope which she sang
in my head they loudly rang
Now and for ever more
Peace Will Come that's the score
Down with hate and felony
Up with Love and Melanie

Soul Searcher

Often in the dark of night
My soul finds time for wayward flight
And, though I cry out, "stop, come back"
I find myself following in its track
And, in these nights I try to find
What illness educates my mind
All is in vain, not lost, nor won
And I am soul searcher but one
When do dreams have heavy eyes
And leave them clear to see blue skies
Alas, it seems, at least for me
My time will never come to see
Oh night, dark night of sometime world
When will my brain 'ere be unfurled
When will dark shadows leave my heart
And set me free to play God's part
