Mikromusic – Niemiłość

like this
here
now

like waves
crashing
upon shore
relentless
repeated
unending

like the phases
of the moon
the constant
pull and tug
the ebb and flow
of words
written
with my fingertip
upon your brow,
the sand

i come crashing
to you
harboring shells
driftwood
and remnants of my
ocean

they cling to my tresses
like children
embedding themselves
to my soul

and you,
serene and stoic
watch in silent keep
waiting for my
roar
as that of a lioness
a black bear
thunder
lightning
a starshower

your embrace
welcomes me
with open arms
everytime
releasing my weight
allowing me to
leave with you
all that travels with me,
selflessly, on your
borders

i have loved you
in the new moon
half moon
quarter and full

i have loved you
in the searing sun
and the tsumani

i have loved you
when molten lava
set this world ablaze

before language existed
before the age of man
before thought

i have loved you in the void
as i love you
in the setting
of every weary sun
and the rise
of every new day

like this

now

Dear protector of my spirit,
your eyes bore down deep
into my very own
black as the night, velvet
the burnt sienna
of the searing sand
the deep rich cool jewels
hidden inside
of Mother Earths
most holy heart

like this
here
now

waves crashing
upon shore
relentless

you
push
back
defiant
bold
raging
fierce
masculine
muscled
brave and bold


oh,
yet

ever
so

gently

Tim Baldwin & Dana Shellmire - Little Wing

recorded by Kenny Maggs during the opening set of my 2002 birthday bash at Nietzsche's.  We had first sung this together during an indigo girls' tribute show at Compton's After Dark, and I remember being blown away by the beauty of the harmony, and by the fact that I was a part of it.

#16 The Human Condition with Susan Marie (What is Pride? Gender and Sexual Orientation)

Hona Costello - i've been gone for sometime | FREE DOWNLOAD

I had the pleasure of speaking with Ray Manzarek from The Doors.

In this one hour live interview, Ray and I talk about The Doors, play live music, tap into his jazz and blues influences, various keyboards and methods and educate the public about his work as an author.

Ray speaks of Dorothy, his grandchildren, his life with The Doors, of Jim and Pam and of his own future.

Upbeat and lively, Ray and I were laughing and joking throughout the entire interview interspersed with a few of his most beloved Doors' tunes.

Take an hour with me, in tribute to Ray and listen for when he slides his chair back ever so slightly. That is when we begin to talk about cosmic consciousness.

My peace to you Ray, and also, to Dorothy.
