A riddle to solve
To decode the truth
Which one is right
Which door to choose
Step right through
To fall into the chasm
Hands reaching out
Breaking the fall
Asking what is your wish
To return to nothing
Or to risk everything
Waiting in the darkness below

[marigold]

Not so far away
But you may as well be
In the shadow of the moon
Synced up with shooting stars
Constantly searching
But where do you look
For the alternatives
In these changing times?
Given one chance
You will find it
All that hard work
Will be worth it
Its written down
In a book that no one reads
Only some can sense
Whatever that means

[marigold]

find the spark of spontaneous creativity
the stream of consciousness flows in continuity
into the vapours of electric intensity
where everything is lit up in bright sincerity
it will divide your mind into wired obscurity

I don’t get it either. I wonder if he is reading parts in English, but then, he is in Paris…. I hope someone will record it (esp. for the music).

I haven’t read Fercak’s other book, even though I would be able to understand some of it. Was never interested enough to get it. Probably not worth bothering?

I was re-reading Billy’s poetry book the other day and realising how a lot of it doesn’t make sense.

Billy tweeted recently:

Hey, if you are in France, pick up a copy of my new book \"\"Chants Magnétiques\", created in collaboration with my good friend Claire Fercak

Then:

I can’t read French, but I’ve heard it’s a good book! I’m Mr Sell-Stuff-This-Week \"Chants Magnétiques!!\"(I don’t even know what that means!)

Wonder how it will go then…

Auckland, New Zealand, 19th Oct. http://www.the-edge.co.nz/pumpkins.aspx

FINALLY!!

[marigold]

this was written for a friend, who I don’t think reads this forum, oh well:

some sort of threat
an insecure cry out
venting your frustrations
that’s just your way

a call for help
a plea for attention
making clear your intentions
one day you’ll be okay

you’ll see its no good
it’s not what you need
not the right course of action
so seek another way

learn to trust yourself
be wise in what you do
clearer in your decisions
be stronger every day

[marigold]

that’s right – I’ve seen these ones at festivals,

Dizzy Rascal
Del Amitri
Mastodon
Eskimo Joe (Australian band)

but weren’t paying much attention to them. Also a lot of support bands – Gliss, Queens of the Stone Age…

I forgot about Republica and The Rasmus, but they weren’t that great live.

I can’t believe I forgot Shihad – great NZ band – seen them three times!

bonus press release?[/quote:2kxrxf5t]
Yes, a paper with a little promo story from the label. Nothing special, but for some collectors it adds value to the promo cd.[/quote:2kxrxf5t]

Here lies a blank page
Like the waiting earth
Early in the spring
Where words as seeds sown
Grow to form an idea
Inspired meaning
A shared emotion
What you could call
Landscaped poetry
To bring forth
A harvest of thoughts
Food for mind and soul
When all is said and done
Leftover words
Forgotten over time
Devoid of meaning
Slowly decomposing
To nourish beneath
The plowed earth
Waiting once again

Last weekend I bought the Sweet Relief CD for $3 – bargain!

Not only does it have Sad Peter Pan, but these other covers:

Garbage – Kick My Ass
R.E.M – Sponge
Live – Supernatural
Sparklehorse – West of Rome

nice view!

and nice sunset! I expect you’ll get a few beautiful sunsets from all that smoke spewed into the sky.

I can see it – it’s here anyway – http://i1.trekearth.com/photos/33423/tu … lley_2.jpg

I’m going away today!

[marigold]

Drop by drop the knowledge grows
Drink up the wisdom
Until it overflows
Spilling nonsense everywhere

Black and sleek, a swift escape
Before anyone catches on
A glimpse by a lone sailor
His eyes widened in disbelief

Wings unfolded, dark angels soar
With the winds of timely guesses
What answers were you seeking?
Surely they’ll be back for more

Hidden from most as they visit
Taking a part of your soul
Every day they return
Trying to steal it away

So sail on the open seas
Take no notice of the edge
One day you’ll fall off
With no soul to save the day

[marigold]

Sunlight glimmers
Through dusty grey clouds
Rays attempt to penetrate
The leafy canopy
Shades of green
With parasitic plants
Vines choke the trees
Creatures survive
Under each layer
Diversity thrives

[marigold]

Here to stay
There’s no way out
Stuck in a moment
That never ends
Exploring ideas
To reach the mind
Stretching out
Limited only by time
Hands go round
Pointing out numbers
It goes on and on
Where is the change
There’s never enough
To go around

[marigold]

Just saw this linked on Facebook:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Smashing-Pumpkins-A … 3f02cbb37b

autographed by the band – proceeds go to the Matthew Leone Fund.

And they have 10 of them to sell off.

[marigold]

welcome back! how was it?

[marigold]

^^ that’s a good one.

[marigold]

Suspended in time
Motionless in space
Caught in between here and now
A web of tangled moments
Something crawls down
To eat the remains
Bad memories from the past
And the spider lets you move on

[marigold]

A rough stone
Polished smooth over time
By tidal waves
All alone it sits
Shining in the sun
At the edge of the sand
Waves take it away
It belongs to the sea
