#343 Patti Smith – Horses

Patti Smith‘s Horses is the only appearance of the female punker on the list. This is her debut album. I do know a song by her “Because the Night” which was co-written by Bruce Springsteen. It is on her third album Easter. This album, I have never heard any of the songs until today. Her […]

#112 Os Mutantes

Os Mutantes first album is Os Mutantes which means “The Mutants” in Portuguese. I thought Brazil only had football, bad Samba music, beautiful people, and coffee. Oh Christ Redeemer statue is located there too. Can their music be redeemed with psychedelia? Lyrics are important to me. I write or wrote poetry before I moved to […]

Beelzebub, His Bride and the Bastard

i entered the world accidentally, changing the life of a fifteen year old. As i changed her, she changed me. Our first years were alone. i was the cross she carried upon her back.

this is the day you fell from grace

Another old poem, i use this word loosely. i do not claim to write poetry or at least good poetry, but i have to express how i feel. Sometimes, it feels more like a song, than poetry. i have had people tell me that i express exactly what they are feeling, so that is why […]

the end

i wrote this years ago, but it always feel like today… What is this feeling deep inside i don’t understand it so i run, i hide i told you i’m not in love, i lied What is this feeling that hurts my pride My darling, i can’t escape my fate i found you in a […]

Today

Today I smiled I laughed I walked A mile Today I thrived I touched I loved A while Today I discovered I writhed I regurgitated Your distance Today I changed I cracked I dissolved My existence ocean babin 17 julius 2006
