Flying in to work ….. Big Blue Sky …love it …
Sun Sets and rises …and a cloudy moon … love the colours of Africa
Out and about and relaxing after a days work….
neither a shout
nor a scream
not a whimper
or a whisper
….....
but an eruption
of emotion
from within
….......
once released
it plots its own path
and passion
towards darkness
or light
...

eclipses of life dramatic chaotic tempestuous moments barely noticeable subtle changes rolling storm clouds gather ahead and then, we awaken in a sea of fog in the penumbra we patiently wait structural integrity retained loss of function noted salvaging what we can slowly our faculties improve healing slowly commences the gray fades to light the darkened hypoxic veil lifts returning senses, inducing pain bringing clarity to intermediate minds ……..

pitter patter of tiny feet rat-a-tat of bullets ripping sheets orange spears of flickering candles casting opaque shadows on strips of flannel digging deeper, ripping up the dirt slowly covering holes in the shirt the man in the long black coat stands unsteadily at the edge of the moat doing his best not to gloat as the sand, cascades down all around the sacrificial goat as its ripped bleeding throat drains over the distended belly, as it bloats swallowed up consumed by this world in the belly of the beast all curled buried in the grave, six feet under as the veil is rent asunder silver coins glinting on the eyes, all bright weeping silver teardrops, in the watery moonlight

The Site owners of LTTL have kindly allowed me to review new music from South Africa .. standing by for your new music 🙂
So pop over and read the review of:

I am embarking on another new and exciting writing adventure. I will now be writing for Listening Through The Lens – a music site designed to promote and support roots music and performers – anything alt. country, bluegrass, soul, funk, gospel, Americana, folk or blues.
My first article will be posted this week and I will be sent (on an ongoing basis) new music to listen to and then review, how cool is that … The first review will be live by mid August, so settle back and enjoy this new journey in my ongoing quest … to just write.

And so it begins…. the moon, with mars in close company …
The Red Moon emerges…. next to the Red Planet …
The morning after …as the moon sets across the African Sky ….
lost in the mist of my own creation contemplating the monster lurking in the belly of the creator as we breath life into the monster should we stop and let it remain dormant? this fire burning in one’s belly resentful of life being breathed into it a fearful creator recoiling from his own creation at the risk of overreaching, with its unintended consequences alone, lost, created to be alone and dying a lonely death this mind of mine has its own mind making heaven from hell and hell from heaven finding the courage to carve my own path casting aside icons and sacred cows shattering this hierarchy of angel’s, demons and beasts a conspiracy betwixt my somnambulance and a familiar beast that man hath named who for now, shall go by another name my candle flickering almost to extinction, while buffeted by the wind distressed at the thought of losing one’s dream of a dream within a dream my only thought was to one in paradise and clouds on empty skies and not a care whilst lost in the midst of my own mist

It came knocking and I opened the door and welcomed it with open arms. Inspiration brought friends, as I have been diving into the classics of late; Milton, Shelley, Poe, Goethe and then the music of Carl Orff and the more recent music of Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and The Alan Parsons Project. From this mish-mash, has come a torrent of thoughts, ideas, annotations and my ideas Journal is looking very busy and messy these past few days … 🙂
I am putting the finishing touches to a few poems and I am for the first time in awhile excited about this new work that I am putting out, it is (IMO) quite a different style of writing …
So watch this space … it might be a busy few days/weeks that lie ahead, plus I have a few pressing editorial deadlines :O
Sunrise at 06:00 this morning, was just so beautiful here in the Southern DRC, light breeze blowing, a crisp cool morning with absolutely gorgeous colours …
