In His Own Words
About him
In a change to the usual narrative I wrote this poem instead after an ill advised visit to a church.
It's best read, if at all, with grace and grit

..then I deleted it because it was rubbish..
>>Take 2
..because I'm currently exploring themes of love, freedom, commitment, and the search for meaning and beauty in a seemingly meaningless world...
..on a road trip through Patagonia..
..in a world of water..a place to stretch my legs and mind with a few small faltering steps in vast steppes..
..the furthest south a human can walk on this earth..
..if truth comes through water..it must be here..
About his ideal match
Take:142
Edvard Munch comes to mind..
..or just to be clear.. a particular image on a bridge..
..now I understand what that painting is all about..
..someone who still cannot find what they're looking for..
I'd like to be able to say I'm glad for where we met, by chance in a theatre interval...
..instead of a parade of mugshot montages..
..carefully choreographed poses..
..or holiday snaps in a mask in a wetsuit on skis on a horse
..or a dog centre stage..
.. in front of unclimbed mountains ..
..sipping a Mimosa against backgrounds of sunsets and stage set beaches.
..which create the weird feeling that they were probably taken by the previous significant other..
I know I'm searching for something
..something sacred I lost..
..something taken out of my soul..
..something so hard to find..
..that's difficult to define..
..but I'll have a go..
Preferably a botanist or an opera singer, amateur or professional, soprano or mezzo-soprano, I'm not fussy which, who can sing the barcarolle that this extract is from:
Belle nuit, ô nuit d'amour
Souris à nos ivresses
Nuit plus douce que le jour
Ô belle nuit d'amour!
Le temps fuit et sans retour
Emporte nos tendresses
Loin de cet heureux séjour
Le temps fuit sans retour
..or..failing that..can play a decent rendition of Hoagy Carmichael's Heart and Soul on a slightly out of tune mini grand piano..
..and every day be..
..the epitome of elegance effortlessly shown..
..apogee of charm and grace ..
..essence of poise and presence
..effort that doesnt leave a trace..
[unlike this]
..a master class in expertise honed to perfection..
..as if each look each movement each word that leaves your lips
..is in synchonicity..with every gesture in harmony
..as a ballet or symphony..
..a Ballet Rambert performance of Ghost Dance
..choreographed by chance..
..that's entrainment..
Simplement a la recherche d'une femme dont l'élégance va au-déla d'une robe dentelle qu'elle porte
It's not much to ask, is it?
