The Great Halls of Eden

The Great Halls of Eden (A lone voice whispers) Walking in like the Grand Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada Dressed in a dark robe With Beethoven's “Moonlight Sonata” playing loudly in her wake I can remember when Love brought me through a gate To a doorway leading to her Three Castles of Rejection Cruelty Intolerance, and Fanaticism And when she nearly broke me within each of those walls, she introduced me to her other Three Castles of Seduction Through another darkly lit doorway Ecstasy Blissfulness and Tranquility Such is the juxtaposition of entering her Great Halls of Eden For those Red coloured doors within that painted room, could lead you to your sweet salvation or doom So just be careful when you smell her sweet perfume, when she smiles, as she approaches For once, she takes you into her Great Halls of Eden Once you enter that oak panelled waiting room Always remember One day, you could be in her master bedroom And then one day, feel the harsh bristles of her witches broom As you soul pleads and yells Such is the power of being under her mesmerising spell (C) Copyright John Duffy
