Broken Writtten by Bunmi Darling
Shrouded in the cloud of lust,
I lay on my bed as a foetus
would coil in her mother’s
womb. I lay awake, my eyes
dull, the reflection before me, a
colour of the night, my mind on
ninety degree of lost me.
I yearned for my lover whom
had just left me.
I sobbed, wanting him,
missing his powerful
hands on my body. I am in
lust and I can’t find normality
in the sudden madness of my
heart.
I sobbed, how do I explain
the whereabouts’ of my lover?
As strange as the morning,
I found to my incredulity,
my lover had gone away, he
left with his Rucksack full
of my love and his broken
promises.
Oh ye, how do I get
over something my heart
says it right, and my head
forsakes. I am in a coma
of deliriousness, help me,
help me. My heart is bleeding,
the sockets of my eyes are
bulging, and I feel the pupils of
my eyes playing tricks on
me from my rivers of cries.
A gift from my friend, Coronergurl... x.

I have had a good weekend so far, just having fun, a bit of shopping, buying accessories and generally catching up with my friends… These last few months gone by, I find that I did not want to talk to no one. I stopped calling my friends, some would call I wont pick up my phone, and believe it or not, I was not depressed. I was just in my own little world, were I inserted a DO NOT DISTURB sign. I can’t say have any regrets, because I don’t. I needed just to be free for a moment; do I make sense at all???? ..… (I don’t make sense to myself either).
Anyhow, this brings me close to a subject which is very close to my heart, it’s called Blessings, don’t get me wrong I am not a teacher, neither am I a religious person, but I have found that more often we humans do not seem to bless one another, when I say blessings, I don’t mean giving out physical gifts to people, I mean blessing people with our words, wishing people well…
Do you know, whenever I go out or speak to people and when they say nice things to me or pray for me, it always feels like some sort of remedy, it really goes deep into my soul, the kind of feelings I get when I am blessed with words cannot be described totally, as there is no words for it, but it feels very good and peaceful… I love blessing people with nice words, sometimes, I would bless them with gifts or money, as I the giver always feels very happy doing it, it is like some sort of happiness, that you are making others happy by what you are giving them...  I remember a time, I would remember those that have hurt me, and I would feel unhappy or sometimes shed a tear and curse them, but now, I just bless them and wish them well... If I am to be honest, I would say I was the weaker one, for letting people get to me; it was my own stupidity for given my heart away to those that did not deserve it… I still have to thank them for making me who I am today, because without them, I don’t think I would be what I am now, at this stage in my life, I am loving it, I know what it feels like to surrender yourself to the universe and take your own actions and hope your inner eyes will guide you through your life.
Everyday I wake up, I learn new things, I feel like a new person, a person who is being reborn over and over again and it feels wonderful… If you are one of those with a steel-trap mind that plays tapes over and over of slights you’ve experienced, grievances, perceived failures, hostilities, you can use that same quality of steadfast attention by sending blessings rather than condemnation or resentment. I know this might hurt or some might even frown at me, but close your eyes and imagine blessing someone who has hurt you in the past.
Imagine blessing both your enemies and friends – or even your illnesses. Imagine blessing something you condemn or criticize or feel unhappy about or feel jealousy toward. Imagine blessing someone who has been unkind to you. Or someone who has tailgated you on the highway. Imagine even blessing someone who has abused you. You do that and practise doing it, if you don’t feel happier or a new person, then hey, do it again, and I can assure you, your soul will feel lifted and rejuvenated. I wish you all a happy Sunday and remember to wish good in your hearts.
This is from my friend Corona Girl. Love you girl.

I shall cover my eyes and envision the dust blow away.
Eyes to my deeper soul are precious than ruby, precious
than Diamond, eye to my soul is priceless. I shall cover
my eyes and imagine the waves of the ocean - Beating
down on me slowly, to join the Dolphin, to swim
with the Dolphin. I shall cover my eyes and fly away like
an Eagle, I am free, free as a bird, free from my
thoughts, the thoughts I have with me now is the
thought of being me.
The thought of being in a universe, which is
unknown to man, but known to me, the universe of
paradise, the universe of were I make things happen,
just by closing my eyes and opening my inner eyes to
the paradise of the unknown world which is a world
known to me. This is the way I want to be. It feels
magical to be free, free in my world.
I shall cover my eyes and see the drumming
of your heart with mine, It feels good covering
my eyes, for when my eyes is covered, I see you
in my heart, I feel you in my heart, I feel your
heart beating with Mine. I shall cover my outer
eyes and reach for my dreams; my inner eyes
will take me along the journey to which my
outer eyes cannot see.
I shall cover my eyes to you, I shall cover my
eyes to your imperfections and my
imperfections, when I see your imperfections
in my inner eyes it makes me want you more
and more. My inner eyes will be open to you,
with my inner eyes; I can see you for who
you are.
In my inner eyes, you are the passion I
always longed for; it feels safe to be with you in
my soul. I shall cover my outer eyes to evil and
open my inner eyes to goodness, goodness
that will take me on the journey of Forever. |

 To say technology has change the world would be an understatement, earlier this morning; I switched on my Computer and logged on to the Internet. From nowhere, I just heard music blaring, I looked around my Sound System it was off, and I looked on my Screen, on my home page which is msn.co.uk, there was a banner, an advert, showing the risks of Cigarettes, and the music playing in the banner was Frank Sinatra, I can’t remember the name of the track,, but I have to say, It was good, because, they really got my attention with the music, if there was no music with that advert, I would never have giving it a second look.. It was good advertising..
I kept thinking how music has really taken over our world… Can you ever imagine a world without music? (I can't imagine it). Such a special talent, to write songs, sing and have a hit. Personally, I couldn’t do without music, I live music, I eat music, I drink music, music to me epitomises happiness.. Just love my music…. They say when you love something, you find out more about it, so I did a bit of research about music…
History of Music
The Middle Ages
The traditions of Western music can be traced back to the social and religious developments that took place in Europe during the Middle Ages, the years roughly spanning from about 500 to 1400 A.D. Because of the domination of the early Christian Church during this period, sacred music was the most prevalent. Beginning with Gregorian Chant, church music slowly developed into a polyphonic music called organum performed at Notre Dame in Paris by the twelfth century. Secular music flourished, too, in the hands of the French trouvères and troubadours, until the period culminated with the sacred and secular compositions of the first true genius of Western music, Guillaume de Machaut.
Music had been a part of the world's civilizations for hundreds of years before the Middle Ages. Primitive cave drawings, stories from the Bible, and Egyptian heiroglyphs all attest to the fact that people had created instruments and had been making music for centuries.
The Renaissance
The Renaissance was a time of rebirth in learning, science, and the arts throughout Europe. The rediscovery of the writings of ancient Greece and Rome led to a renewed interest in learning in general. The invention of the printing press allowed the disbursement of this knowledge in an unprecedented manner. The invention of the compass permitted the navigation of the world's oceans and the subsequent discovery of lands far removed from the European continent.
With Copernicus' discovery of the actual position of the earth in the solar system and Martin Luther's Protestant Reformation, the Catholic Church lost its grip on society and a humanist spirit was born. This spirit manifested itself in the painting and sculpture of Michelangelo, the plays of Shakespeare, and in both the sacred and secular dance and vocal music of the greatest composers of the era.
Dance music of the Renaissance
Throughout the Renaissance instrumental dance music flowered and thrived, and was composed, or more likely improvised, by many people. Musicians whose names have come down to us collected much of this existing music and had it published in various volumes over the years. The Terpsichore of Michael Praetorius (c.1571-1621) and the dance music of Tielman Susato (c.1500-1561) represent some of the outstanding examples of dance music from the late Renaissance. A piece such as La Spagna , (attributed to Josquin des Prez) is an excellent example of the buoyant rhythms and sounds of the Renaissance dance. Many of these dance forms were modified and developed by later composers and found their way into the Baroque dance suite.
The beginnings of Opera
In the last years of the sixteenth century, a group of musicians and literati in Florence, Italy experimented with a new method of composing dramatic vocal music, modeling their ideas after the precepts of ancient Greek theater. Their intent was that this new music should prove more direct and communicative to an audience, as the complex polyphony of the Renaissance could very often obscure the text being sung. They instead set a single melodic line against a basic chordal accompaniment, and with this notion of homophony, a new era of music began.  The Florentine Camerata called this new form of musical-dramatic entertainment opera. The first operas were private affairs, composed for the Italian courts. But when in 1737 the first public opera house opened in Venice, Italy, opera became a commercial industry, and the genre in which many composers throughout history first tried out new ideas and new techniques of composition.
The Classical Period
From roughly 1750 to 1820, artists, architechts, and musicians moved away from the heavily ornamented styles of the Baroque and the Rococo, and instead embraced a clean, uncluttered style they thought reminiscent of Classical Greece. The newly established aristocracies were replacing monarchs and the church as patrons of the arts, and were demanding an impersonal, but tuneful and elegant music. Dances such as the minuet and the gavotte were provided in the forms of entertaining serenades and divertimenti. At this time the Austrian capital of Vienna became the musical center of Europe, and works of the period are often referred to as being in the Viennese style. Composers came from all over Europe to train in and around Vienna, and gradually they developed and formalized the standard musical forms that were to predominate European musical culture for the next several decades.
The Romantic Era
As the many socio-political revolutions of the late eighteenth-century established new social orders and new ways of life and thought, so composers of the period broke new musical ground by adding a new emotional depth to the prevailing classical forms. Throughout the remainder of the nineteenth-century (from ca. 1820 to 1900), artists of all kinds became intent in expressing their subjective, personal emotions. "Romanticism" derives its name from the romances of medieval times -- long poems telling stories of heroes and chivalry, of distant lands and far away places, and often of unattainable love. The romantic artists are the first in history to give to themselves the name by which they are identified.
The Twentieth-Century
By the turn of the century and for the next few decades, artists of all nationalities were searching for exciting and different modes of expression. Composers such as Arnold Schoenberg explored unusual and unorthodox harmonies and tonal schemes. French composer Claude Debussy was fascinated by Eastern music and the whole-tone scale, and created a style of music named after the movement in French painting called Impressionism. Hungarian composer Béla Bartók continued in the traditions of the still strong Nationalist movement and fused the music of Hungarian peasants with twentieth century forms.  Avant-garde composers such as Edgard Varèse explored the manipulation of rhythms rather than the usual melodic/harmonic schemes. The tried-and-true genre of the symphony, albeit somewhat modified by this time, attracted such masters as Gustav Mahler and Dmitri Shostakovich, while Igor Stravinsky gave full rein to his manipulation of kaleidoscopic rhythms and instrumental colors throughout his extremely long and varied career.
