Rainbow Of Your Heart

Rainbow Of Your Heart

Somewhere over the rainbow of your heart 
I chase bluebird of happiness through Hell 
to find paradise mapped on no real chart, 
but fall exhausted by the bubbling well 
where Melusine gives me apple to eat, 
which helps me get back up on my own feet. 

Tall statue of the woman by the pool, 
said to be the virgin Mother of God, 
smiles flirtatiously and hands me the tool 
to fix car engine for the Justice Squad 
who hunt the vampire to his castle tower 
where young girl weeps over the wilted flower. 

The beautiful girl on the movie screen, 
who sweetly sings somewhere over the rainbow 
with heart-breaking joy in the time machine, 
climbs Mount Parnassus with Loki and Bilbo 
to meet Minerva, Good Witch of the North, 
who explains evolution of the Earth. 

Emerging from wild swirling ocean waves, 
the fish-god Dagon, wearing crown of jewels, 
asks Dorothy if she knows Jesus saves, 
but she breaks the crystal tablet of rules 
then orders fish and chips at the sea shack 
while painting the factory and its smokestack. 

Dorothy asks Bilbo to marry her 
so they skip in the meadow of lost souls 
where they buy wedding rings from Lucifer 
who translates riddles in the Dead Sea Scrolls 
to find out who killed Balder with the gun, 
reluctant to play the favorite son. 

When Loki tries to steal the sword of truth 
Minerva tricks him with weird prophecy 
about third coming of messiah sleuth 
who will restore global democracy 
after Midas tries to crown himself king 
till Michael strikes him with electric wing. 

Kneeling before her on her throne in Hell, 
Michael tells Dorothy he loves her more, 
but she explains how the Colossus fell 
and crushed the temple of the troubadour, 
so he gives Bilbo fake key to the church 
where giggling gargoyles of fate love to perch. 

Forever in the spotlight of world fame 
Judy Garland sings with heart-aching voice 
that beams illusion of the story game 
turning demons to angels who rejoice 
till she cries about the land far away 
where she wanders as nameless castaway.
