It’s My Life and Radio
A couple of weeks back, I was featured on Radio Memphis as a song writer. It was a fun 40 minutes talking with Dirty D over there in the USA. You can hear the interview as well now as a podcast. Meanwhile, I wrote another song called It’s My Life and it’s up on reverbnation.com for the time being. To be honest, I may yet tweak it further…..

For something like 35-years I have been in a relationship. For the last few months I have been well and truly single. At first, I was horrified and still find going to bed alone deeply troublesome but I have grown somewhat used to being single and begin to see many benefits. No one tells me what to do If I want to watch Hull City games, no one objects If I want to have a glass of wine, I can If I feel like eating, I do I am under no pressure to get up with others every morning I can play my guitar LOUD – and my music too Yes. Actually, when and if I meet someone new, it might be difficult to shall we say, re-adjust.

I’ve talked in these pages many times about the stream of life and the song, row, row, row the boat. I confess to finding this little song fascinating as an esoteric writing. Just recently, I have been through a very deep and long lasting depression caused in some sense by the break up of a long-term relationship and then the need to come to terms with being single, a bit isolated in the Czech republic and realizing I had lost sight of myself and what I wanted. Well, a few weeks ago, I woke up one morning and just decided that any rebirth had to start with changing a few basic things like diet, my weight and attitude. I woke up realising I was creating my own miserable reality by

Memories painted in my mind Tapestries spun from emotion Hanging as if to dry A long and windy road trod barefoot As if in requiem to another yesterday The wind howls a deep sigh Inside my head the pictures float A technicolor movie of my life Endlessly showing to a crowd of one Somewhere, the Sea crashes over the rocks That sit at the core of my being Will a B movie actor suffice? My road is forked My path lies which way? Eternal sunshine Or, I simply fall away I am a dreamer dreaming I am an observer observing A growing point in time Treading a weary line The footprints in the sand lead nowhere Except around and around Edging inwards away The mountains in the distance Beckon me

I’m looking for a date Despite it getting quite late I’ve tried Tinder and Badoo And OKCupid too Yet, all I find are bots And scams and attempts To defraud Porn star pictures Some of them dead A simple reverse search confirms A profile to dread I send messages That go unanswered Poems and thoughts and things That might interest Photos of course I select only What I think to be my best I’m a real catch for someone But this makes no sense Online dating It’s a lottery The ladies in waiting Never reply I can’t get their interest I feel I need to lie About my age To get a look in I want to shout Look at me! I’m wealthy, creative I look younger than I am
