a cheerful little love song for my far-away boyfriend

breakfast song

if i tell you i love you

star-crossed lovers in the ancient assyrian empire—the sole heir to the throne falls for a lowly indentured soldier in his father's army, who is then sent to the front lines die so that the prince will focus on his responsibilities and the continuance of the royal line. the first of a tale in three parts, spanning ten years.

(i've taken a great deal of Gay Narrative Liberties, but if you're of a mind to look it up, the rise and fall of the city of nineveh is a fascination portion of mesopotamian history.)

beside you

for amanda palmer's nyc blackout song contest.

i only lived in nyc for three years, and much of that time was spent in stations—people-watching and talking to buskers and seeing if the homeless kids needed supplies, bc i'd been their shoes before myself. when i read about how the blackout stranded and isolated people, i decided my entry would be a look at those who felt stranded and isolated even when the lights were on.
