"Inspiration"

I`m your poet

You are my muse

Your body my canvas

My body a feather

Together we composed

The most beautiful art

Together we conquered

And enchanted the angels

Mischief the gods

And blamed the devil

With our art of

Pleasure and joy,

Kisses and cuddle...

"Callas"

Last night I got the chance to go and see a piece of the gay theater here in Dublin.

The Lisbon Traviata, by Terrence Mcnally was performed (reading only) at the Outhouse LGBT center last night.

Maria Callas was a Greek-Canadian opera singer, one of the greatest from the 20th century, and my good friend Joby Red (the one on the picture with me) had this amazing idea of directing this piece of art which is surrounded about her life and performances     

The story goes of a tragic love relationship of a gay couple in america and the love/addiction of one of the guys for opera and in particular for Callas. It was a fast pacing and exciting scenes with load of gay delemas that I could relate to it.

The show was one night only and was fantastic, the story was been narrated by the director (Joby Red) and sound operated by another good friend of mine, Mike Kelly (Silvertung Media).

It was a great experience and a fantastic time from the beginning till the end.

"Ma, Me, Mi"

Me

You

You and Me

There`s no me

Without you

There`s no you

When me cry

There`s no you

To make me

High

Me, you

Right

No me

No you

"Hip hop what?"

I got so excited after I manage to do the interview with Andre K'por about the Poetry Hip Hop event that he promotes every first Tuesday of the month, that I have been participating the event myself for a while now. And few weeks after I write the article and did the radio interview I got the change to do it for TV.
That was amazing and I had a lot of fun doing it.

Here is the audio interview  Poetry Hip Hop

"Picture This"

On my routine walking around town I came across the Chester Beatty Library, (http://www.cbl.ie/)
I have been visiting the library every opportunity I get. 

They have a number of collection that is permanent to the public view and one in particular got my attention.

The Paintings that express the French-Arabic world during the 1900s. 

These selection of thirty paintings that once belonged to Chester Beatty. 

The paintings are among some ninety works presented by Beatty to the Irish nation in 1950, shortly after his move to Ireland from London. 

Some of which caught my attention was Caravan on the Nile The Gulf of Aqaba by Jean Léon Gérôme, c. 1897 and Falcon Hunt (Algeria Remembered) by Eugéne Fromentin, 1874, I was very glad to see those and  got a warm feeling of freedom after.

The Paintings will remain at the Library until August 2013.
