The inspiration behind this song came from four passages in the Bible: Leviticus 18:22 / John 3:16 / 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 / 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 This song was also meant to be sung to the tune of Elisa’s “Una Poesia Anche Per Te” Probably one of the most personal things I’ve ever written… I’m sure most everyone will realize exactly what I’m talking about in this song without me having to spell it out… getting it out of my system this way is cathartic in a way I can’t even begin to describe. If you want to ask me anything about this song, feel free – I still feel the need to talk about it with anyone who has any sort of idea what I’ve dealt with these past 21 years…

Come. We are all invited to laugh at Love’s funeral.
Inspired by Gigi! micmac and her piece “Torn…. somehow, with effortless tears she has inspired a poem, again. About Torn…. the art work that inspired this poem GiGi writes: This a double layer of bark and a portrait of my grandaughter Angelica. / size…2928×2346 / Birgitta choose the title…thanks again Birgitta I love it. / Before ,a long time ago , they use to capture the moment in paintings.When I did that layer I had the impression to had captured the beautiful face of my Angelica forever. to comment truly matter. / See* Journal section of my RB page here for a list of short poems* / Words Count listed / A vast spectrum* of subjects, issues, and levels of intensity.

No excuses / will soothe / the pain / that I caused you, / and time may not / heal those wounds / so quickly / as for us to forget / that night ...
Sometimes, we fight, but we never remember why it even began.

Suddenly things seem surreal, / Yet they’re told that they must deal, / All the strangeness in this altered realm, / Where strangers have a …
I have always detested war and the other catastrophes caused by politics and religion. After talking to many Fathers of sons and daughters in the war, I have heard stories that have brought tears and shear horror to my soul. Then I hear about how these valiant men and women are treated by those that say its their duty and get scared even more. This poem is derived from what I’ve heard from these families and WILL not jive with what you have heard from the media or the government. You choose what to believe.
When darkness creeps upon you / And where day now seems night / Where in hidden valleys / Tears fall in bitter succession
When life is crumbling that is when we need Hi spresence most of all (when we are angry and want to turn our backs, when we are hurt and want the world to disappear). To be allowed to not be perfect, to fall torn in God’s arms.
Surreal image / a very strange dream of love / more like a dream than reality / surreal love / images mixed together in a strange way
It’s a collabration with my nice friend Neil Johnson’s awesome piece of art “Surreal” / please check out Neil Johnson’s outstanding art work on RB! thank you so much Neil! :)
When I told him I didn’t feel well / He said he’d make it quick / I wanted to feel love / but all I felt was sick.
It’s hard to say no to someone you love. Sometimes I don’t think they understand the hold they have on a person.
I turn into his arms and hold him close

i found him down in the sand / full of bullets the blood of man / saw his wounds bleed and cry / and knew his life would slip right by
inspired by a true story from a WWII digger fighting in egypt he had become separated from his battalion and found an enemy soldier wounded and bleeding reducing his war to two men he could niether save the man nor kill him so he just said sorry kissed his brow and marched away…..
Torn posters - / under the politician / the clown.
None of this is what I had imagined. I had thought I would enjoy this. / I wanted revenge. I wanted to see her fall. I was angry.
This was done in a short 90 minute text production workshop. One of seven peices done in that time.

Storm Birds, poem fourteen.
why would you love me / when I destroy all that is dear to me
Have been witness to people tormenting themselves over their own lack of self love… a hard place to be on either side…
Torn / Torn between two hearts / Two loves / Two lives Each different / And complete / Each deep Torn / Unable to decide / To make up one…
For a friend.
