Evening!!

tas been decided this evening that I am gonna finally get my ass in gear and finally make a proper stab at writing my play. The one that I made an initial attempt at almost 20 years ago. The one that I lived over 20 years ago. About an English boy and an Asian girl who meet at school, fall in love, enjoy a purity within that love, but then are pulled apart by culture and religion and custom, she ends up married and him brokenhearted. Anyone who knows me, well, you know the script already!! So, arse is in gear, and updates will appear on here soon.

Why the sudden inspiration?? Dunno, but I was talking - via email - to a new friend and fellow Almond disciple, and it kinda somehow inspired me to go back to that huge folder of incomplete ideas and try again. There's all sorts in it, poems, songs, prose, and the script, and so I thought, why not, so away we go. I also found this in there, which isn't complete I don't think, needs a little bit of an extra verse, but I thought I'd share it anyway................

And yes it's true
You left a lasting impression
My headlong descent
Into acute depression
Precipitating
My childlike regression
Service payable
At diner's discretion
Shattering all
Of my life's equilibrium
Padding the walls
Of my mind's sanitorium
Lighter in hand
Head to toe in petroleum
Suicidal or manic
With no happy medium
You are the mirror
Reflecting my lovelessness
You are the mirror
Reflecting my hopelessness
You are the mirror
Reflecting my uselessness
You are the mirror
Reflecting my life's a mess................................................
