The Holidays are in, and it has kicked me in the butt

So I haven’t been around. Not surprised if you noticed. There has been a lot of activity in my life. Changes that have caught me by the throat. I don’t plan on bleeding those changes all over my blog, it would just open wounds that are starting to close. However, I am going to still be on hiatus a short while longer. It started with a nasty bout of bronchitis and then some nasty emotional baggage. I am slowly unpacking the baggage and starting to put things away. I think I will give myself grace through the month of December and start 2022 fresh. I need this time to deal with the mess that I got myself into. This time of year often ends me up with an emotional downside that I have been at a loss to prevent.

For me that means I will continue to work on myself and the issues that have arisen in my life. For you it merely means I am asking for patience. January will see more poetry, art, and discussion of the foibles of life that my blog has come to present on a regular basis. I thank you for the patience and I wish you all the best of holidays.

Lyrics
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
And Lately I’ve been pleading with myself to leave it
But I crawl back, begging you for more
And I don’t wanna want you
But I do
And what’s another let down
For a few
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Coming off the high
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
I’ve been swearing up and down
That I don’t need you
But I’m lying
Hate it, but it’s true
Tell me that you love me, need me
Please I’m begging
I keep chasing, knowing there’s no use
And I don’t wanna break down
But I do
‘Cause I’m getting nervous that I’ll lose
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Coming off the high
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, tell me that you need me
Save me
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Coming off the high
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the devil and I’m just your ghost

My 2 Cents-
I missheard the lyrics originally. I kept hearing Mama is in the light…And the song confused me with that…

Monday Poetry

Monday poetry – Prompted

Today both Serena and I had a take on the prompt for the #MonsterSheWroteChallenge2021 over on https://braveandrecklessblog.com I just saw the challenge last night so I got a late start on it, but I look forward to doing the challenge. I will likely post a few more here as the month goes on.

Memento – 1Wise-Woman

braveandrecklessblog's avatarBrave & Reckless

A knock upon the door reveals a familiar, elderly man, dressed in his finest. His facial expression is one of uncertainty. What does the face of, “I don’t know how you’re still standing” look like anyway? It looks like me… haggard, unwashed, skeletal. “One foot in the grave,” I tell myself, laughter pressing psychotically upon my parched lips.

He’s been on my front step too many times to know what to do or say. That’s a job for the professionals. Nonetheless, his instinct kicks in, avoiding having to look at me for too long, he hands me a meager, lonely rose, wrapped in plastic and tissue and utters his deepest condolences. Words I’ve heard so much they’ve lost any meaning.

I hang it upside down, along with the other two, still not fully dried. I wonder if hospice knew that each one was a different color than its predecessor? Yellow…

A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics –
“Time”

Burn this room down
Place me on a chair
For all I care
You’re telling me I’m crazy
I would call it lazy
Let the room burn down

Blow my heart apart
You don’t give a shit if I live or die
I don’t wanna be a part of this
No more

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

So we’ve been together for a year or two
And you’re angry because I don’t know, but I’ve been busy loving you
I don’t have the money to be the one you really need
All I give is who I am and poetry to read

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

I’ve been living a dream
But everyone’s awake
And everytime I try to catch up
It’s when I nearly break

Now we’ve been together for a year or two
And everytime I am feeling good is not because of you
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but people seems to fade
Now I don’t care cause I’m sitting on a chair and this is what I made

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so we can try
Tell me why you hate me
Tell me who I should be
Let the time pass by

Now I really know
What you need is rock n’ roll
And if you’re not gonna like it
Then, baby, that’s your call

I don’t care if I’m using my mind
I don’t wanna know
Leave me alone, go never come back
I love rock n’ roll!

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

My Two Cents – this past week was a busy mess so this is mostly how I felt. Lets burn it all down.
