THE LORD OF THE RINGS~~~RETURN OF THE KING

Last night I purchased the last movie in this trilogy and awoke at 9:30 AM with hopes of getting on early start in watching the movie since it is 3 hours and 20 minutes long. It was not until 10:30 that we actually got settled in to watch it. I was totally enthralled, captivated, and engrossed in this movie. All of movies have been excellent, however, each sequel has been better than the last. With each movie I felt as though I was there, living it all through the eyes of Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, Argon, Arwyn, and the others. I apologize if I misspelled any of the names. My oldest step-son seems to be in the opinion that Harry Potter is better... I do not agree with him... Harry is good and I enjoy reading those novels and seeing the movies... but for some reason the magic of The Lord Of the Rings has completely enchanted me....

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!!!

I hope everyone is having a fun and safe holiday weekend. I know I am enjoying just kicking back. The kids went to the local pool Saturday, and are going again today... YEAH!!! I totally enjoy those few hours of peace and quiet. I have actually gotten to do some things I enjoy. Bill, of course, is feeling neglected but tough pootities...TEE HEE... Maybe this afternoon...
Ta for Now

So....

I guess my last two post tickled no one's fancy either. So, what to blogg today... hmmmm

FIRST~~~~~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STEVIE NICKS!!!!!


I feel compelled to explain why Stevie Nicks is such an intregal part of my life. She is one of the greatest singer/songwriters, ever. The beauty and mystery of her words are a constant source of inspiration, comfort, and enlightment for me, and the wisdom in her songs has taught much about myself and what a person can endure. She has overcome adversity and has proven to survive even the test of time. She is the person whom I admire most and it is my dream to someday meet her and even show her my work that she has inspired...

"And to those that I love Like a ghost through a fog, like a charmed hour, and a haunted song, and the ANGEL of my dreams." ~~~~ Stevie Nicks

Tango In The Night
(Lindsey Buckingham)
Tango In The Night

Listen to the wind on the water
Listen to the waves upon the shore
Try to sleep, sleep won't come
Just as I begin to fade

Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the tango in the night
Tango...

I keep the dream in my pocket
Never let it fade away
Inside, outside
No loneliness in this dream

Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the tango in the night
Tango...


For some reason, this song has me spell-bound...Maybe someday I will tell you why... For now.... I REMEMBER my Tango In The Night...

FOREVER IN SEARCH OF A MEDICATED BLISS...


I tend to theorize that sometimes I need a medicated vacation away from all the chaos. Of course this will never happen, but I can dream. Instead I have opted for an inexcusable state of morbid drunkeneess and by best bud Allen is going to join me. We are having an all night Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks marathon in June in their honour, since I cannot afford to attend the concert. I can hardly wait to just totally chill with my bud... catch ya later...

Tonight I am posting several poems I have been working on. Some are finished and some are not. Some of them are good and some, well, some are piss poor in my opinion... but happy reading away.


And the dogs of chasm
Brought down dark shadows
Across the world,
Chasing a phantom,
An apparition without a face.

And the wings of ravens sounding
A lonesome drum, beating
To an ancient time,
Swoop across the sky
Calling out his name.

And the dark days went by
Leaving nothing for hope
Only the onslaught of blood shed
In the name of the HOLY
Or maybe the INSANE...

Beneath the ashes
She walks up there
Never resting
The haunted, haunting
A past, a present...
Where the veil
Between worlds is vague...
She walks up there...
Haunted and forlorn.
Despair her companion
Unable to forget the
Torture of the flame
Driven to maddness
By its devilsh dance...
She walks up there
Beneath the ashes
Waiting for an absolution...

The fate of the lady hangs precariously....

Just upon the best hour...
The witching hour
The lady of lost shadows
Hushes her mournful cries
For silence is a healer,
A lover, to some...
An enemy.
She gives way, breaking
Through to the other side
Watching herself as though
Her essence was held inside
A spinning globe of smoky glass...
Allowing the passage of time
To whisper pass.. as though a dream

27) LET ME DRAW YOU A GRAPH.....

So much to say and so little time....

On occasion, words become a massive swirling, tumbling, and rolling force within my own mind and I am unable to convey a coherent, complete thought on any one subject. That is how I feel right now. I have become aware of something I was not so aware of a few days ago and I am busy trying to absorb and digest this self analysis. As time goes by, it never ceases to amaze and the amount of things I still do not know, and the things about myself and those that surround me. To any of you out there, I apologize for being so absorb in my own world, to not have seen you had a need. I love you all and am who I am today because of some very special people and I thank you...

Love to all..

On through the misery
And Moonless nights,
Cloaked in fear, in sorrow
Whispers of ages passed
Echo through the lonely hall
And shadows creep along
The Hallowed memory.
Morose, and Forlorn,
The Lady's spirit bends...
For this...This is only another death.

The nightly reading sessions have been going well and the kids are beginning to understand better and get the idea of the story line. I think they are actually enjoying it.
I have been busy trying to catch up on my writings and I have a couple of poems to post tonight. Not some of my best stuff... but it was important enough for me to write.


As I slipped away
From the Masses and
Fell upon the decay of the world
A crowd of hapless strangers
Drifted by--oblivious...
The mortal wound festering
On the face of humanity~~
A punishment for those
Who know of what must be...

And Truth Stalls
And Loneliness remains
A truth amoung fools.
Unspoken legends of old
Have faded away to the
Whispering winds for
We no longer believed
And the magick of old
Faded with time.

Like a tunnel, a vaccum
The will of morality is
Consumed in blackness
So the Age of Reason withers
and I weep for the fading light.

I saw it comming,
A great dark storm,
Churning on the horizon
Green light flashing
Burning the night sky...
Born on the wings of God's army...
The beating wings rolling like thunder


I saw it comming,
A great dark storm
Breeding on the night
Festering in the wind
Torn from my chest
My love forlorn
Left to stagnate amoung life's pond.

I saw it comming,
A great dark storm
Sweeping through my world
Surging with chaotic power
Born for only this purpose.


And I saw it going...
My great dark storm...
Sorrow ruling for many still nights....
