Ring Ting Man - Strange Dark Poem









Ring a ting ting
You hear me?
I hear you!
What's your name?
play the game!
I will tell you what to do!



DOES IT MOVE?
Does it stare

Can it be alive?

Can it be dead?

Can it be anything if there are no eyes to witness its rise and fall.

Is there a sun?

Are there any clouds?

Is the sky filled with stars at night -

Do the flowers show colour?

Do the trees move in the breeze?

What is a breeze?

Can anyone feel it?

Is it even there?

It is there because of us

That's the truth of it

Without us there is nothing

Without eyes there is nothing...


THAT IS WHY I NEED YOU!



Ring a ting ting
You hear me?
I hear you!
What's your name?
play the game!
I will tell you what to do!




What are you?

It's a mystery - for what it's worth

How do you feel?

Your face is the sign.

Your eyes are the thing -

What are they ?  Do they hold the key to the meaning ?

It trickles away from like a stream...

It means nothing.  And nothing means nothing.

I feel not - know not - it means nothing -

But you see it -

You feel it -

You know it -

I know nothing because to me nothing is nothing.

Show me your eyes.

Let me see the secret.

I don't know why but I yearn to understand the secret.




Ring a ting ting
You hear me?
I hear you!
What's your name?
play the game!
I will tell you what to do!






Let me live in your eyes.

I see you squint, I see you squirm

I know that face

and so forward I shall race

- let me live in your eyes!

I shall send thunder over you

put mist before you

Set up mountains for you to climb -

Your sweat shall fall like rain over a dancing forest

Your footfalls shall be heavy like the thoughts of kings.

You shall walk slowly like a hailstorm is before you.

Lest you let me live in your eyes.

For a second,

Let me live in your eyes.





Ring a ting ting
You hear me?
I hear you!
What's your name?
play the game!
I will tell you what to do!








Proud is your heart, I shall break it,

Weak is your humility, I shall melt it.

Loud is your voice, I shall drown it.

Your will is like a sea wave, but it shall fall,

And you will come down one and all.

Your bones are tough like granite, but I shall make them snap

And in my power enwrap,

Your mountainous spine - entwine, in my serpent grip

 - twist into sand,

flat on the earth.

ALL will crumble, I'll make sure of that...





Ring a ting ting
You hear me?
I hear you!
What's your name?
play the game!
I will tell you what to do!




Into the swamp you will sink.

Your breath will swim away from you - your soul like an anvil will not hover in the sky.

Down the tunnel you will go

walking, falling, flying

In silent company you stand

An uncharted island on a map, a mystery, but forgotten,

And I shall close your eyes - forever.

You will cease to be, and I shall live and be nothing.
