We'd played each other on the song guessing app for six years, ever since we were matched up when I visited Iceland in 2016; we both liked Classic Rock and stuck to 70s playlists For a few weeks one year (2022) I was "out of sorts" and didn't log in; when I next opened the app I saw Haraldur had terminated our six-year rivalry I mean,...

There are songs that you will never sing There are lips that will never speak There are voices that you will never hear And there are some hearts that you cannot move For the world don’t know the rhythm Stay on the path that you are on and destiny Will compose a new song The rhythm is bellowing in my ear But...

It is Saturday everybody and I want everyone to be happy Daylight is drawing near and there are lots of things to share Putin is fighting the moon and the silent ones will be coming home soon, with tears in their eyes and nothing to show for their many years of sacrifice. They all gather on the open...

June 21, 2025 For the Beatles 'Lay it to Me' song Contest by Charles Messina The old iron curtain came down But soon a clown reclaimed the crown Ruthless and hollow-souled he rose Now a foul Soviet wind blows From the east it battered Ukraine Spreading such cruel and endless pain The past returns in blackened char “Back in the U.S.S.R.” ...

We journey across the horizon to the little town where hearts meet and we watch the sun spread its light over the ocean pulling everyone to the beach.

Let sail this doom and gloom Drinking gasoline with a blue lighter In the morning head up the gangplank The hours till I lay down is a lifetime I’ve become a child drunk on hydrocarbons How will I lay my aching head at night? Isn’t it how I’ll wake up young again? I’m a sailor heading to international waters Fuel in my belly...

I sat where the ferns stood guard— solemn sentries on wood pedestals— my back pressed against her bookcase, cradled in the soft hush of the window seat as snow rehearsed its silence just beyond the glass.
