You can’t discuss opera without this peice of music, and i defy anyone not to have a tear in their eye after listening to it.

Asking Too Much

I want somebody who sees the pointlessness
and still keeps their purpose in mind
I want somebody who has a tortured soul
some of the time
I want somebody who will either put out for me
or put me out of misery
or maybe just put it all to words
and make me say, you know
I never heard it put that way
make me say, what did you just say?
I want somebody who can hold my interest
hold it and never let it fall
someone who can flatten me with a kiss
that hits like a fist
or a sentence, that stops me like a brick wall
because if you hear me talking
listen to what I’m not saying
if you hear me playing guitar
listen to what I’m not playing
and don’t ask me to put words
to all the spaces between notes
in fact if you have to ask, forget it
do and you’ll regret it
I’m tired of being the interesting one
I’m tired of having fun for two
just lay yourself on the line
and I might lay myself down by you
but don’t sit behind your eyes
and wait for me to surprise you
I want somebody who can make me
scream until it’s funny
give me a run for my money
I want someone who can
twist me up in knots
tell me, for the woman who has everything
what have you got?
I want someone who’s not afraid of me
or anyone else
in other words I want someone
who’s not afraid of themself

do you think I’m asking too much?

Lorica of Saint Patrick

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ’s birth and His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In preachings of the apostles,
In faiths of confessors,
In innocence of virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.

I arise today
Through God’s strength to pilot me;
God’s might to uphold me,
God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s eye to look before me,
God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to speak for me,
God’s hand to guard me,
God’s way to lie before me,
God’s shield to protect me,
God’s hosts to save me
From snares of the devil,
From temptations of vices,
From every one who desires me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a mulitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and evil,
Against every cruel merciless power that opposes my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of women and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man’s body and soul.
Christ shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that reward may come to me in abundance.

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through a confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation

St. Patrick (ca. 377)

Invisible tears fall, even now as i struggle
to show how i truly feel.
I wonder why it is that i can’t shout or scream
what it is my heart and soul needs.
Instead i choose to withdraw and place on my face
my well worn mask, my second skin.

My mask and i, we go way back
perfectly moulded to every contour
transparent from overuse, yet opaque enough
to hide the face that lies beneath.

A painted smile, (a skill
developed long ago) crafted to perfection
to conceal, comforts me for awhile
but today seems short lived and superficial

Frustrated anger, i lose control for one brief moment
silently screaming into nothingness, i reproach myself,
over and over in my troubled mind.

Reaching out with unsteady hands, i retrieve my mask
which has slipped to the floor. Like a broken toy, i cradle
it carefully in my hands and lift it to my face.
It glides on smoothly, my second skin, and i smile once again.
