In a basket he once sat
Black and fluffy and slightly fat.
Dreamies were his Friday treat
And he very often snuggled by your feet.
Hanging off a door
His eyes would search
For Sam and Elly.
Where very often they would both be eating
Jelly.
Mates he made in other cats
Friends for life
Fancy that!
Somehow though
Stampy always knew he was top cat.
Lana desperately searches for her mate
and wonders daily why he’s always late.
Why hasn’t he touched his plate?
Time heals pain
And we loved stampy because he was wonderfully insane
In a basket he once sat
Black and fluffy and slightly fat.
Dreamies were his Friday treat
And he very often snuggled by your feet.
Hanging off a door
His eyes would search
For Sam and Elly.
Where very often they would both be eating
Jelly.
Mates he made in other cats
Friends for life

The lovely letter L
labors around us
with lithe liberty.
The lovely letter L
lords itself in silence
over ladies who love elegance.
The lovely letter L
loves little names
like Lia, Liam, and Lana.
The lovely letter L
lands upon English
like lace that litters a lake.
Destiny it's not in the cards for Me
I can't do what I love
I can't be me
So untrue
Living is choosing
To get up
Or fall down
Failing is part of the growing
Taking a stand
Believing in your self
Letting the world see you
Should not be shame upon
You are so much more
You have so much to offer
Despite your trauma
There is a place for you in this time
You are relevant
You have the power to change
Carry on be that star
Be that light in someone's darkness
Help them carry on because the journey out weighs the reward
Be you 110 percent
And it will deliver all you desire
Have faith in you
For Lana.
The waves kissed the shore
again and again and again
the waves kissed the shore
every second or so
to remind her
how much
she is loved.
-petulance poetry
“People tell me they idolize me, want to be like me, but I tell them, 'trust me, you don't want my life.' I've been a very tortured soul.”
Quote by Phil Spector (Found guilty of murdering Lana Clarkson).
You feel like a highflyer.
Music being your crutch.
Nothing but a cynic liar.
You deceive yourself so much.
I’ll never get over that fact,
That beautiful lady was my friend.
Why couldn’t you leave her intact?
Her wonderful life you had the end.
You thought of yourself as a messiah.
You knew you wouldn’t stay.
Your ego burned brighter than fire.
Was your guardian angel in play?
Now you languish in that jail.
In your cell you lie alone.
Your guards are each prison rail.
With remorse for your sins, you can atone.
For our poor Lana, your sorry is too late.
For you now, all we have is hate.
A lifetime in hell is now your fate.
And all you can do now is wait.
“Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness.”
Lana Del Rey
Happiness with peace for the masses comes sporadically,
And at times it feels like periods of great prosperity or
Long-lasting peace has come not often throughout history.
Changes in politics or times of trouble or war
Yank away the good times causing for many stress or tragedy.
Oh, how I long for the ‘80’s. Down came a mighty wall!
No recent decade can match it, and I was having a ball!

"love pyres"
after the war
romance became
compulsory
not desultory
twin flames
lit each other
up
love pyres
ashes
falling
Psyche rising
immaculate
immolate
in the aftermath
falling,
silence
sings
lit within
kissed by Eros

"Ours is essentially a tragic age,
so we refuse to take it tragically.
The cataclysm has happened,
we are among the ruins,
we start to build up
new little habitats,
to have new little hopes.
It is rather hard work:
there is now no smooth road into the future:
but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles.
We’ve got to live,
no matter how many skies have fallen."
("Lady Chatterley's Lover", D.H. Lawrence)

LYRICS/ "Mastermind", Taylor Swift

torn between singing Billie Elish
and listening to Lana Del Rey
"the world is a little blurry
or maybe it's my eyes"
between reciting Rumi
and reading Rupi Kaur
"rivers fall from my mouth
tears my eyes can't carry"
I wonder what if
I already lived my happiest day?
Many Ziegfeld Girls started out wearing costumes so fine.
We did not know them, but they were gorgeous and danced in a line.
This photo is amazing from 1941.
It has Hedy Lamar, Judy Garland and Lana Turner, what fun!

They are odorless,colorless and tasteless like water..
Sometimes symptoms resemble of food Poisoning..

Aunty Shabo and the list goes on.....
On graduation day you put your saddle shoes away.
You took a naked walk through the garden till you got to the pool.
You had Vivaldi on steroids, Monet on cocaine.
You’re not Mother Theresa. No need to explain.
You smelt iron ore, limestone, and coke in your open-hearth heart.
Staying true to your infidelities is a heritage art.
Let us sit by the fire pit and burn some fat wood,
Making jests while the gods are at play in the forest around us.
Then I’ll sample your cocktail, while you’re sipping mine.
You like my Jack Daniels. Your Pepsi tastes fine.
I’m playing hooky in the Hollywood hills where aristocrats play,
On the first wicked day of summer with Lana Del Rey.
CHILDHOOD SEX
(for D.P.)
Oh, where is she now, love of my life, the woman I adore?
(I was five that summer, and she eighteen–—
in my childish heart of hearts, I had promised to marry,
knowing nothing of heartbreak and the grownup world of desire!)
— she walked up the steps ahead of me—
wearing a pair of those 1940s-style-cut white short-shorts
like Lana Turner wore in “Postman”:
and my heart did a tailspin–a turnover–—
from which I have never fully recovered!
