Yikes, blogger has disabled their image uploads for maintenance. And the two images I wished to upload go along with a story i wanted to tell involving my first experience with "Random T-Shirt day" from woot.com. It won't be the same unless you can actually see the shirts. So. Next time.
Here is a song. Sometimes it is more relaxing to just sit down with a guitar instead of trying to write a poem knowing that after the poem is complete, you still have to illustrate it, then photograph the illustration, etc etc (not that you Have to do all these things, but I'd Like to). And singing is one of my favorite things, anyway. The first two lines of this poem were inspired by a phone call from my friend/landlord this morning--apparently there was a shooting down the street from my house. :( Of course, from there the lyrics groove back into the theme of lost love...because when i'm not writing about goofy, phobic(?) animals, it Has to be love, apparently. :) ah well. the chord progression is: D G e C D b G A D. major key, with minor, melancholy elements:
I. Gunshot in the distance
Waiting
Is there never anyone at
Home?
You know--he left here this
Morning, saying
Darling, I won't leave you
Alone.
II. Frost climbs ev'ry
Window
I left one candle burning
Just for you.
I'm asleep, but not in our
Bedroom,
And dreaming a nightmare
Or two.
III. There could be more than one
Reason
And I've searched the whole world
Over
I've grown old, I have learned ev'ry
Season
'Cause my heart bears the marks of a
Rover
IV. Tell me I've not wasted my
Living
Tell me I'm still young and
Beautiful
Oh, please say, I have time left for
Loving
But it hurts, and my footstep falls
Slow
