I like to write. When I write I am not here. I am running my fingers swiftly along white ivory, hearing notes. Writing is music to me.

Something abstract. Blue ribbons rippling, they’re bleeding into the right margin. Sip another sip of Merlot.  Golden Years,   Bowie. Don’t let me hear life’s taking you nowhere – Angel………….There’s my baby lost her soul………………….Walk tall act fine.  Golden Years.  Run for the shadows in these Golden Years.   I’ll stick with you baby for a thousand years……Nothing’s going to touch you in these golden years. Golden.

That’s Bowie for  you – Classic.

Don’t let me hear life is takin’ you nowhere…………………………………

OK. Then  there’s Bowie’s “Gasoline”.  That’s another story.

Knots……bound. Bound.   Together.

Everyone yearning to be together with someone, somehow.

Pain makes a man think things over.  Well woman. Think things over.  A lot of things.

Retrospective.  Me years ago.  That was me, years ago. Skinny. I’m  now rounded in a sensual way.  A child changes your sharp edges, makes you soft and lush. Hardens your heart inside.  Soft and lushious outside.  Hard inside. I’m not a soft centre anymore.  I’m a Fantale with the story written all over my outside. Something not swallowed, but taken piece by piece, chewed meticulously and mindfully. Not with reverence.  Just alertness.

I’m waiting to be devoured.  Like a luscious chocolate.  Devoured.

Somersault Backwards.

    The imagery that you penned here is clear as it supports the lyrics to the Bowie songs, allowing a clearer understanding of the subject, in this case, the author. Very well written. Michael

    That\’s really cool, considering I\’m just a novice. I\’m just warming up for bigger things. Thank you.
