Reflection?

-
Do you hear that pitiful scream?
Or did it fly in and out of your ears again?
This dangerous dance we've been
Doing has worn out your welcome                 

Tired and disappointed.
Disillusioned--I'd have to be
The definition of wool-pulling
To have any compassion left for you.


Twisted and matted: Your heart's
Been in need of washing out by now
And stop the doe-eyed manipulation.
You need to learn, once and for all

That the world doesn't like to be tamed.
For years and years, I looked after you
Was tied up for years and years.
So what can you offer me? Nothing.

Self-absorbed---but not letting anything
Sink in. You're not a stupid person.
You simply lost the plot and now
That brittle landscape's already turned yellow.



After staring at his reflection in disgust and hatred

Neil grabbed a large rock and pitched it
Into that reviled and despised object of rage
Having done so. he then shattered into a thousand pieces

Leaving the mirror smugly intact.

Sensation: A Novel----A Good Idea Or Not? You Decide

First off, I'd like to know what all you Pet Shop Boys think about me writing a novel based on their lives and careers. It is written in novel form, which means it's a work of fiction and not some ill-conceived attempt at exploitation. That means that it is the furthest thing from my mind to capitalize on two incredible musicians who've been dealt a raw deal with regard to being harshly judged for their sexuality, particularly in America and to a lesser degree, Australia. This has irked all of us for a very long time, because to shut out an extraordinarily talented duo of singer/songwriters is a damn shame. I live in Canada, where we are much more liberal in our thoughts and opinions of homosexuality, but unfortunately, because we live next door to the United States OF America, we get wrapped up in their odd dogma, what with worshiping the gun culture and allowing school shootings to become the norm rather than the exception, but then Janet Jackson accidentally flashes a br

Who Cares? A Poem

-
Who cares what your sexuality is? It's nobody's business but yours. Yet in the shallow  world of show biz Homophobia and ignorance soars. I don't like to talk about stuff such as this. But the world seems to be quite obsessed. Folks need to stop wondering just who to kiss. It's nobody's business, I will always attest. Morality's really just one lonely word. Those who extol its virtues are blind. We all have our choices--haven't you heard? Just reach out with love and remain warm and kind. The Pet Shop Boys don't worry about all these things At least that's the impression I get. They live and love and enjoy what that brings. They've obviously found love, I'm willing to bet. So just worry about your own affairs, why don't you. The world will keep turning and the sun will still shine Do you know that expression; "To thine self be true?" To choose is a right and self-love is all mine.
