The Pen Strikes Back! The Handwritten Poem Thread.
December 2018, Monty Lameer published a poem named Blather.
In Australia, Monty is a valued and eccentric artist.
Lady Gaga follows her for some 15 years.
She gave me her OK to put Blather to music and I made a demo of it. The demo, warts and all, contained just the right amount of tension and drama. It’s a lament!
Monty's Blather
Some day
The rain will fall upon me
And wash away the stains
Of life's softly painted brush strokes
That left these aches and pains
Some day
My tears will no longer fall
While holding tight this knife
Is it ok that I don't mind
If I fail the test of life?
Some day
My face won't look so naked
Without its masks and dye
I'll be free to show my colours
But there's an eyelash in my eye
Some day
My mind will not awaken
To all the dull and gray
Stuck inside my cage of fear
I hope to see that day
Enjoy!
Vriendelijke groet, Gus
