ps. dee - see BusStop accross the road from Paloma? :)

..well I looked my demons in the eyes,
laid bare my chest, said do your best to destroy me
you see, I been to hell and back so many times
I must admit you kind of bore me...

Fair Play to You..
more other people's words.. they're so fair, i need to share..
reading /hearing such words make me think of you. and long for my mind to be moved and touched as it used to be. or as i think it used to be.

Tell me of Poe
Oscar Wilde and Thoreau
Let your midnight and your daytime turn into love of life
It's a very fine line
But you've got the mind child
To carry on
When it's just about to be
Carried on...

A paperback book
As we walk down the street
Fill my mind with tales of mystery, mystery...
And imagination

Forever fair
And I'm touching your hair
I wish we could be dreamers
In this dream, ohhh
Let it dream

There's nothing wrong with gradually exploring the passion to the brink..

This i *must* share. This was, is, and remains to be amazing.
Inspiring.
Moving. Soul lifting.
Last friday, amsterdam.


Check it all, connect to your stereo, turn it up, turn the lights down, the candles on, pour yourself a scotch, and by the time you get to track 2, BlackeyedSusan, nod and nod and be sold.
Go see him round your way if you can. And share in the beauty of fabulously good music.
words fail :)

ps. sorry bout the annoying intrusive ads between songs..

The Sanctuary, in Poetry and Music
i haven't been posting, and there's no real reason.
Perhaps i haven't been delving too much.
Perhaps that shouldn't say Perhaps.
Yesterday night found me reading a few rubaiyat by Khayyam, in the flicker of candlelight, and in the warmth of sounds from my stereo.

My eyes were letting in:

No one can understand
that which is full of mystery. One cannot
see what is hiding behind outward appearances. All
our dwellings are temporary, except the last: the earth.
Drink wine! Stop your superfluous reasoning.

And my ears were letting in:

Don't let your mind get weary and confused
Your will be still, don't try
Don't let your heart get heavy child
Inside you there's a strength that lies

Don't let your soul get lonely child
It's only time, it will go by
Don't look for love in faces, places
It's in you, that's where you'll find kindness
Be here now

Don't lose your faith in me
And I will try not to lose faith in you
Don't put your trust in walls
'Cause walls will only crush you when they fall
Be here now

Oh what beauty in such a night. from my Sanctuary to yours.
thinking of you.
with an s.
