Sex, Lies & Videotapes. This is not a love story

‘Tie me up like I’m surprised, Let’s roleplay, I’ll wear a disguise, I want you to park that big Mack truck right in this little garage, Make it cream, make me scream’

Cardi B

SUNDAY. 8PM. FAITHLESS (Maxi Jazz will meet you at the door)

β€˜Running with my rain face on
Today I woke up feeling sad,
I know that you said
That one day I would be glad,
Hold the choirs of winter,
The birds are calling to me,
And all the leaves that I came to love are falling..
Oh you know that breaks my heart.’

– Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss, Roll Armstrong, Zoe Johnston (FAITHLESS)

To all new arrivals I must ask you to take your place in the queue between me and you, as even sitting in the garden one can still get stung.

Writers, write for two reasons…

Hurt me when I’m close to you
Tell me lies and not the truth
Carve your wrongs in my skin

Christina Aguilera / Linda Perry / Mark Daniel Ronson

Writers, write for two reasons.

  1. Because they cannot NOT write (a true writer can never push it aside for any reason)
  2. They write what they know (personal experiences, life, observations, and when it comes to fiction, those experiences become embellished and then you have a story)

Actually, there’s way more reasons than that, but that’s just some insight into a writers mind.

Writers often write from pain. I think there is an element of pain behind most who create aRt whether it be the form of poetry, songwriting, composing, story-telling (fiction) screen plays, painting, the list goes on and on. Feel free to add more in the comment section below.

How does this make you feel?

Happy Friday to YOU!

I wrote this poem this afternoon over coffee. It feels rich. It feels deep and it evokes something deep within me, and I hope it evokes something within you.

If it doesn’t resonate, that is all good, what I want to know is whether it evokes a reaction in you, good, bad, or otherwise. Let me know πŸ™ƒ ‡️

The Charade

The anger I feel,
Cannot be swallowed with a pill,
My eye is neither left or right,
Or fight or flight.

The anger I feel, Cannot be swallowed with a pill, My eye is neither left or right, Or fight or flight.

Samira Wyld

THE CHARADE

The anger I feel,
Cannot be swallowed with a pill,
My eye is neither left or right,
Or fight or flight.

I see what is happening,
The tragedy all around,
From afar,
And on the ground.

Neither one is worse than the other,
We all need a lover,
A sister,
Or a brother.

The war between us began a long time ago, 
Some of you just didn't know, 
It's us and them,
'Listen son' said the man with the gun,
There's room for you inside,
Pink Floyd knew it,
Or maybe they were part of the divide 

We cannot let the divide,
Continue to collide,
With what makes us human,
To feel pain.
Sorrow, 
Happiness,
In the sunshine,
or in the rain. 

We've been objectified since time began,
Many of you fell for the scam, 
The lies, 
The propaganda,
Fear mongering,
Yet you line up,
Comply,
Abide,
And stop asking the 'why?

Time is drawing closer, 
Closer to the end,
Beginning of the end,
Or somewhere in the middle, 
But please let's stop the pretend.

It's all a charade, 
Theatre at its worst,
Don't fall for the curse, 
The spell, 
That has made us unwell.

Open your eyes,
Open your eyes, 
And realise, 
We can rise,
Among the ashes,
And as society crashes,
Know that the veil is lifting,
We can stop drifting, 
And be what we came here to be, 
Take care of one another,
Which means between you and me,
And truly be free.

The Charade
