Alright, yes I know, it's a repost, but I'm kind of celebrating here, you see this was put into passions main site yesterday, and well.... I have never had any thing put into a permanent place.  It was way cool(Sorry, the surfer in me gets excited) and I wanted to share it with you guys in open as it was put up in the Corner pub origanally........


Let it fall..(Brian's challenge)

by Michael G

One more anti hero worship
from the depths
of some enigmatic fool
that left the suburbs
for the open fields
of post modern flight from hell.
No, not from the quakes
or the rumblings of racism
that stench we all tend
to want to get rid of,
but the fact that there
were just too many things wrong.
So off I went to the last
journey of my youth,
through the pubs and alleys
of Los Angeles that served
many nights of reckless talk
and the establishment be damned.
There goes Happy house, Scream
and all those open up at 10 pm
party houses, where you paid 5 bucks
to drink your self to life,
and walk out saturday morning at 6am
like the kind demons we were.
And dance the pain that we had
kept for the week
and wonder what 30 would be like
and if the Virgin Prunes
were right about
"If I die I die".
But then, that love in your soul
the one that makes you write
and poor out those false indignanty's
that carress your heart and mind
for after all we've been through
stars have there moments and then they die.

Michael, your writing leaves me in awe.  You blow my mind the way words flow to you as no other I have ever met.  I greatly admire the flare of your pen.  Which is equally matched by the flare of you.

PS.  Now ......actaully how excited does a surfer get???   LOL    


It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen
