    There’s a poem that will remain unfinished;its shadow willdrip ribbons of blood.Her imagination was forcefully executedthrough brazen authorityand the bursting ballad of bullets.The verses posted will replace her;will replace her voice;will have to, now.It's one less poet for mankind,one...

    • Powerfully penned, Tim. Excellent tribute my friend. It’s a tragedy indeed, sometimes I don’t recognize the world anymore. Appreciate you.

    • Silencing beauty is one of mankind’s (and I use that term loosely here) gravest mistakes. We need beauty to get through what comes

    • This is the kind of poem that doesn’t ask permission—it reports from the wreckage. “A poem that will remain unfinished” is a brutal, honest truth, and the blood imagery isn’t sensational, it’s earned. I like how you refuse comfort here—no soft landing, no false resolve. The idea that the poems must replace her voice because they have to is devastating. This reads like a witness statement, not a performance. Necessary, angry, and painfully clear.

    • This one hits hard. I’ve watched that video over and over again.
      I saw another where an agent told a protester, “If you raise your voice I will erase your voice”…while I’m thinking, then the thunder of the masses will drown him if he does that. I can’t wait for the trials and all the video evidence.
      We will say their names forever so they are never forgotten.

    • This is so beautiful, I can see why you both were complimented.

    • Chère F.,
      Thank you so very much for your listen!
      It really means a lot!
      Faith and I salute you!

      Warm regards, Gus

      • This is really a fruitful and beautiful collaboration! The poem is intense and lovely, the music as always skillfully and artistically composed and arranged. Both of you did a wonderful job!

        • Chère S.,
          Hope this finds you well.

          And I love it very very much that you took the time to listen (and read).!

          This is what dream pop/shoegaze is all about. Why treat the voice differently than any other instrument?

          I’m looking forward to writing lots of music and hopefully another coop with you!
          Also on behalf of Faith Maree, grateful for your listen.
          Warme Wellen (sagt GTranslate that’s when I wave to you?) und
          Herzliche Grüße, Gus

    • I’m looking forward to further compositions of you, dear Gus! Of course, i would also appreciate a further collaboration with you.
      In German there is a big difference between the substantive and the verb.
      The wave = die Welle
      To wave at someone = jemandem zuwinken. In German you can simply say
      Herzlich (Warmly),
      Elke

    • Great collab. This is beautiful.

    • Hi Kay
      We’re grateful for you listen and comment.
      Much appreciated!
      Kind regards, Gus
