Ode to Patti Smith

Patti Smith

your songs touch my soul

the tortured poet

the heroine of lyrical content

your songs can make the moment seem more real

dancing barefoot to rock n roll nigger

you never fail to leave an impression

you're a goddess

and the godmother of punk

I dream of sharing your vision

and meeting your muse

in my own words

Patti, you are golden

like the sun

keep writing

and keep inspiring

as your words could never grow cold.

Interview/Review with Robots in Disguise

I recently got to meet one of my favourite bands and interview them!

The write up is here

note in a little box

you saved me

said the note in a little box

no more watching the clock

because of you I no longer feel blue

ever word is true

said the note in a little box

I'll keep it in my pocket

whenever I need a positive rocket

it doesn't matter who it's from

just knowing someone wrote it, makes me feel less glum

note in a little box

positive vibes encased

my heart embraced

Rock N Roll Band

I want to be in your rock n roll band

I want to be part of your super cool brand

seeing you up on the stage

exuding confidence

you look so cool

when I know I'd look like a fool

I am entranced by your sound

you don't even know me

but by your songs we're bound

the sound really is the blood between me and you

just one song can make me stop feeling blue

when you fall in love with music

it's like candy for your ears

that eradicates your fears

if only just for a moment

I am Pagan

At first everyone thought it was just a phase

that I'd soon grow out of it

I was just a teenager

fascinated by the promise of magic and spells

But as time wore on,

I didn't stop reading

every aspect of my life became affected

my choices became clearer

and now I had beliefs I held much dearer

I never even knew I had a faith

but when I discovered paganism

I knew I had been one all along

over the years

things have changed

sometimes I've neglected it, other times I've worked so hard on it,

but still the same

it always remains

the premise for me is so simple

"do what you will but harm none"

respecting the earth

and keeping in mind the power of three times three

all these years later I can't think of anything I'd rather be

my whole life this has been who I am

I am a pagan

and I am proud.

Tired

I'm so tired

I've forgotten what it's like to be wired

it's not that I don't sleep

just that my emotions run deep

life recently has been hard

and I want to give it the red card

life is a funny thing

there's been times I want to sing

but then another day, another week, another year

all I can do is shed a tear

wishing things could be simple

like love and friendship would always run smoothly

like there would never be problems with work

and the house always would stay clean

and money would never be mean

but that wouldn't be life would it

you can't always make it fit

I am so tired

wake me up when the party's over...
