- Listen to the Rain .

Rainy East Village - May 18, 2011

It has been raining for three days and nights in New York.


The streets of New York are wet.

My heart is still wet after Sunday night.

It is a hard rain when it falls down deep in your heart.


The Silent Man Series have come to an end?

He has been an inspiration. It is so easy to get inspired in life by those who are afar, by those who fill your empty space with mystery and passion. It is so easy to get inspired by a fantasy. But the challenge is to get inspired by reality. The challenge is to get inpired by those who are there by your side every day. That is the challenge.


I am looking outside of my window.

The streets of New York are wet.


Bob Dylan is singing for all of us now.


I am looking outside of my window.

It has been raining for three days and nights in New York.


I can hear the voice of the Eurythmics singing “Here Comes the Rain Again”. Prince’s voice cuts them to sing “Purple Rain”

Gun’s n Roses show up on the empty wet 6th street singing their own genuine “November Rain” and knowing its not November, I can hear Jose Feliciano’s “Rain” song.


And then one shadow from a loved moment of my lifetime.It is Creedence Clearwater Revival asking me


“Have you Ever Seen the Rain?”


I am sure you all have seen the rain....And I am sure you have listened to it.


All I can say is after the rain there is the rainbow appearing in our lives!


Much love to all

- Dark & Stormy

Smith & Mills Restaurant/ Bar nyc

And he left me alone
once again...

We are lovers he said
No we are friends I replied
No we are lovers he added again...

he left because I did not want to eat from his dirty hands...
hands that have touched another woman of flesh covered with an aroma different
than mine

intense emotions always with his presence around my aura

he left me
there with two
plates full of food
eating my empty but confident thoughts

no matter what

You are free
Garia whispered in my ears
He is the one who made you a woman

There are still two plates with leftovers
waiting for his return
at smith and mills

the food is cold
my heart is cold
but it is forever

yes there is a forever finally -.
A forever
Silence //

- Lets Play with Friends.








now that we have them near.

the hour becomes so so heavy

when all we can feel of a friend

all we can see or hear

is the reflection of him splashing the waters of an old memory -.
