THE REDHEAD FOREVER

She loved Leonard Cohen. So, how better to celebrate her memory than with this wonderful video for which I thank the uploader.
The second song makes me think of a Canadian author, Louise Penny, that I love.
Her Acknowledgements as written in her Novel 'How the Light Gets In' are really touching.
For anyone fancying quality Mystery Stories, I'd recommend starting from her first novel, featuring Inspector Gamache ( I'm sad to say her last one disappointed me but all the previous stories were absolutely wonderful).
Canada seems to be home to many fine persons.
Sole loved One of them especially.

What If?



What if …
            … we met?
What if …
            … we smiled nervously and hugged?
What if …
            … we sipped coffee and chocolate at a small café?
What if …
            … we walked along the shore holding hands, looked at one another, and kissed?
What if …
            … we watched the sun set, dusk settle like a velvet cloak, and the stars peek down on us as we sipped Armagnac from a secret flask?
What if …
            … after a very hectic day of business, clients, and seemingly interminable meetings, You were greeted with an elegant table set with a warm nourishing meal by a loving companion in a serene comfortable haven?
What if …
            … we went to Your room and made love? Gentle, sensuous, languorous, sweet, loving. Hard, raw, fierce, savage, wild, urgent, passionate.
What if …
            … we sat quietly together holding hands whilst listening to a Mozart opera?
What if …
            … we shared raspberry Gelato on a summery warm afternoon?
What if …
            … we smiled nervously as You fastened my collar?
What if …
            … we met?

You are with Me ...


when I first awake each morning. Sleepy and vulnerable with eyes which refuse to open. Soft and warm with a body which yearns for Your touch.

… when I totter along to the hall and step into the shower. Beneath Your stern gaze, my soapy hands roam freely over my skin and I wish they were Yours.

… when I don my clothes and reflect on my rough lack of sartorial splendour.

… when I boil the kettle, make coffee, and have the first sip of that warm sensuous brew. My smile appears as I think of cooking for You.

… when I head out into the world to face whatever the day may present.

… when I climb the ladder up to my boat and take extra care because I know I must be safe for You.

… when You look over my shoulder as I work on some fitting and explain we do it this way because it is more secure, better protected, and safer.

… when I take some nourishment and consider what a positive influence You are on my diet.

… when filled with fatigue from the day’s efforts, I settle for a few quiet moments and contemplate this wonderful mystical connection between us.

… when I take a sip of Prosecco and whisper, “Slainte”, to You.

… when the sun sinks to the horizon and the night draws her velvet cloak over the world to end another day. The stars begin to peek down at us and I wonder if You too are looking up at them.

… when I climb into bed and long to share my warmth with You.

… when my eyes begin to close and I smile at my thoughts of You.

Every moment of every day, You are with me.

I must say that even the darkest day seems to be a brighter one and I can't avoid smiling and laughing when I view them :-)

REDHEADS (AND SOMETIMES BLONDS) IN MOVIES

The movie ..well, let's just say that anyone can have his/her thoughts about it.

But the poster is beautiful. There's tenderness. Lust. Joy. Contentment.

JE PENSE DONC JE SUIS

I think
Therefore
I am

Nonody can think in my place
Nobody can believe in my place
Nobody can plan, live and generate
In my place

Descartes (Cartesius) understood it centuries ago.
We have gone back hundreds and hundreds of years in history
With so-called Islamic Terrorists
Using the same methods as
Catholic Inquisition was using

In the end
Religion is a weapon
And
We need to destroy the weapon
With reason
With well-being
With a sense of belonging
All together
For our future
and
Above all for our Children's
Tomorrow








GOD IS THE ENEMY

In all times
In his name
An unknown number of people
Were
Killed,
Tortured,
Tormented,
Discriminitated
Where is the God of Beauty
Where is the God of Goodness
Where is the God of Mankind
God is a lie
The only reason
Is
In our Reason
In
Our Brain.

Pending that
That brain hasn't been
Brainwashed
and
Indoctrinated

I HATE SEPTEMBER

I hate September
Despite all praises
And oh's and ah's
For its colourful foliages

To me it's the gateway
To Winter and cold
With shorter days
And longer darkness
I hate September
And its deceptive
Sweetness

QUESTIONS

Where has my youth gone ?
Where have my hopes and joys gone ?
Where is my better world ?
I cover my face with both hands
And I wonder:
What became of us ?


REDHEADS IN ART

Théodore Chassériau - The Toilet of Esther

WHERE HAS LOVE GONE ?

Everywhere
Frowning brows
and
Deeply etched lines
Open, demanding hands
Anguished faces
And not a sign
Of hope
Is this the better world
We were supposed to hand over
To our sons and daughters ?

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron. 1788–1824
  
600. She walks in Beauty
  
SHE walks in beauty, like the night 
  Of cloudless climes and starry skies; 
And all that 's best of dark and bright 
  Meet in her aspect and her eyes: 
Thus mellow'd to that tender light         5
  Which heaven to gaudy day denies. 
One shade the more, one ray the less, 
  Had half impair'd the nameless grace 
Which waves in every raven tress, 
  Or softly lightens o'er her face;  10
Where thoughts serenely sweet express 
  How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. 
 
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, 
  So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, 
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,  15
  But tell of days in goodness spent, 
A mind at peace with all below, 
  A heart whose love is innocent!

MEMORIES

Memorie remain
And sometimes
Hurt
But still they keep us
Aware
And
Alive
Throughout sorrows,
Destruction
And
Madness
