The psychology of the unconscious is the philosophy of revolution.

Infinity Blue a poem/song by Kenny Wilson!
This is a poem/song I wrote in 2005. It was inspired by the name and the view of a restaurant on the island of Skiathos in Greece. I was trying to connect with the space between consciousness and sleep, that space when thoughts drift without any idea of rationality, when words just connect with each other and everything makes sense! I composed a backing that I recently rediscovered and will record it again!
The first time that I saw you
I was dressed in black.
The last time that I saw you
You said you won’t be back.
Oh Infinity Blue
There were times
When I thought I could be with you
To be a real lover
And always be true.
Oh Infinity Blue
The angels came down once
And they spoke to me.
They gave me a message
That would set me free.
Oh Infinity Blue
The sun it was setting
It set in the east.
And somewhere inside me
It unleashed the beast.
Oh Infinity Blue
I walked through the centre line
Of what’s right and wrong.
And I tried to find freedom
In the words of a song!
Oh Infinity Blue
The words they controlled me
They forced me to stand.
When I was lost at sea
They showed me the land.
Oh Infinity Blue
And as I was waiting
For wisdom to come.
The words came and showed me
The warmth of the Sun.
Oh Infinity Blue
Between what is lost
And what cannot be
The words are like diamonds,
The words set you free.
Oh Infinity Blue
I was looking for mercy
I was looking for love
The words they came to me
Like a snowy white dove.
Oh Infinity Blue
I looked in your eyes
And I found mystery
And love, peace and mercy
Was our destiny!
Oh Infinity Blue
Poem: The City Was a Golden Sea by Kenny Wilson
The city was a golden sea
Where angels played with destiny
The clouds were bouncing snowy white
And disappeared into the night
I came upon a diamond orb
That glowed satanic ghostly white
What has become of all these things?
“The City changed” the angels sing
The city was a golden sea
Where people learned what they must be
The stars were like daggers in the sky
That stuck like needles in my eye
Is this the meaning of the word
That linked the real to what’s absurd?
The city was a golden sea
It changed my life it made me free
I chose to wander aimlessly
Amongst the ancient symmetry
And there I found the meaning of the word
That linked the real to the absurd
Poem: Since You Went Away by Kenny Wilson
Since you went away
The silence fills my room
My head feels like a tomb
And I am lost inside.
Since you went away
I see a hollow grin
The emptiness within
The groom without a bride.
Since you went away
The air smells just like death
I struggle for my breath
There’s nothing here but grief
Since you went away
There are no truths to hear
I live alone in fear
I’m like a fallen leaf.
Since you went away
I can do nothing but cry
I no longer ask why
I just live from day to day.
Since you went away
Strangers haunt the street
I gaze down at my feet
There is no place to stay
Since you went away.
