Today’s feature: Cat Stevens

Posted by Venu  Duval                                               http://theemperoroftexas.com 

Today is a dedication to Cat Stevens. Haven’t had much time to write some own stuff.

Morning has broken

“Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play

Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_Stevens

 

Just one line could be corrected. What the f*ck where you thinking about when you wrote - “God's recreation of the new day”.

My correction:

“God’s Creation of the new day!”

Which reminds of a Sonnet I wrote a long time ago:

A Day Has Passed... Shakespearean Sonnet 1995-1

A day has passed as Birds sing a song.
Has thou worshipped like them and theirs Anthem?
Has thou let guide thouself , just as them?
And waken up thy Highness, ‘t glorious Sun.

With thy Morning Walk the river along,
That before day has broken follows the Stream,
That thou has chosen for God’s Realm;
With thy Stepping-Song the river along.

Or be it, thou has slept the Morning Come,
And light that thou has not lit seek,
An be it Nighted in a soul asleep.
Thy Torch must be timely to the Sun

And then will she be lit, on Day’s Break
And be it Day, in a soul awake.

Don’t forget: “I am the greatest all time!”

Happy Birthday! Thank you for being on this planet♥ You have enlightened many souls dear Muhammad Ali by your greatness and modesty, your insights and boxing, your peace

I am proud to say I was in the 100th to wish Muhammad Ali a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Can you beat that? I hopes he reads it.

This one is for a female reader that thinks she’s got it all sorted out! She hasn’t. In other words: go f*ck yourself.

And no females, no thanks. Don't analyze my comments. I am a happy individual having found love. This one's for you:

Don't run away from grief , o Soul
Look for the remedy inside the pain.
because the rose came from the thorn
and the ruby came from a stone.
Rumi ♥

I love Rumi as well. He’s the coolest poet around. I corrected soul to Soul, which makes it my Poem!

Benoît wrote on Maria McGonigal's Wall.

It's great that you friend me, dear Maria McGonigal (Dádá)! Will see what you all share. You are the peace itself, unique in friendship and wisdom. I am delighted!

 

The band “Ex.Wave” is sensitive, subtle and very harmonious music from Italy. Mamamia! It’s not spaghetti westerns I am talking about here. It’s music in the great light of the most beautiful Claudia Cardinale(just an impression). It’s once upon a time in Italy!

The composer Luca d’Alberto inspires us by his sensitive touch. I must find time to find out what is real name is. I am gonna make a man out of him!

A violinist who suffered the torture of the conservatorium and finds it difficult to rhyme with modern times. And it is. He was lost already at birth. It is not easy to be a musician and man nowadays. To be a composer is even more difficult. Thanks God we also got inspiration. Musicians inspire us and we hate them! Well, I do most of the time. Don’t forget to listen to his classical compositions.

Benoît commented on Miles Davis's status.

What is your favorite live Miles Davis album and why?

Sketches of Spain. Especially “Song of our Country”. Actually I am just bullshiting. All of it! It’s the best that I know from him. I met him in 1989, coked out as he was. Haha! I am the lucky one. He f*cked my mother. Still I love him. I don’t know why? He died at 65. M*therfucker!

“The Carp River” by Jeremy Michael Bloxsom

A description would spoil the photo. Sometimes a photo speaks.

 

Benoît likes Katie Davis's status.

I love the quietude of snow falling ... delicate flakes drifting, snow crunching under foot, forest branches crackling from its blanket, bird gliding on the wings of silence, with one lone chirp in reply to the distant rooster's song ... all as the still nectar ...

Benoît likes Madeleine Russell's post on his own Wall.

"Hello from Canada,welcome to my fb family :) "

Thank you for your kindness and beautiful Fb. A peaceful place to enter.

 

Dear folks, people and friends!

You have found my satellite. Facebook is very cool. Enjoy your stay!

Ground control can be found on my website: http://theemperoroftexas.com/.

It's the place where I publish all my stuff uncensored. Fb is full of “commies”. One must balance the thin blue line as I call it.

It's where the Rumi of the 21st century shares his secrets with you, his alchemical entity called"the Ultimate Glitch".

It's where space and matter dissolves into love, into unknown umbilical spaces of more love. It's where Bukowski works and labors for mankind day and night. It's no joke!

It's where the best of the planet are highlighted, the ones with all the solutions, who have labored hardest and truly were I find my future spouses!

It's the Texian Space Port for your Soul!

A new entry coming up in a place near you soon! Made possible for you by the internet. If it was up to me we would all be living in Huts with an Internet connection. Thank you Bill Gates! The future is unclear. We must use it and make the world a better place!

Not much time today. Getting yesterday's feature in Fb's notepad as well:-)

You goddamn paranoids, hiding behind ip-numbers. Big brother is watching you. Don’t forget it. Together we can save the world! It’s the truth!

 

Alright dear folks, people and friends! “Morning has broken…”

Every day is a new day, new opportunities, “CARPE DIEM”.

Don't forget to read yesterday's entry. I got some sorting out to do!

Thanks for reading and listening, sharing, and friending! dear readers, musicians, lovers, friends, babes, gurus, devotional nuts like myself, future spouses, intellectuals, designers, painters, sculptors, scumbags, real men!

It’s in Facebook’s notepad as well for the ones who are paranoid and hiding behind ip-numbers. Big brother is watching you. Don’t forget it! Together we can save the world! We're gonna burn them alive ‘the mechanical world view.’

The Rumi of the 21st century has taken some time for you lost souls.

It is through my hard work for mankind that these words are made possible and thanks to the Google web servers! Don’t forget: "”Your “sorrows’ are just particles of dust compared to mine.”"

Here it is the latest entry on the Texian Space Port for your Soul:

http://www.theemperoroftexas.com/2012/01/todays-feature-shad-blair.html

 

Yesterday’s feature: SHAD BLAIR

Listen carefully. This songs says it all. Shad Blair’s unique songwriting is top of the charts. He’s the new kid on the block.

Prisoner Of War

“Well he's staring at a bunch of papers wondering which ones to sign
Some say he can have the money if the others say he's lost his mind

He could really use the money cause he can't work anymore
His mind's too bent and his back's too broke. He says it's all caus of the war

He's having a beer and a cigarette It's not even twelve o' clock
When I walk in and, give him a hug and, we sit down to have a talk

He says you're looking more like your daddy son, each and every day
Boy, C'mon in and have a seat I've got some news that's comin’ home

Post traumatic stress disorder that's what the VA says I've got
I guess all them memories a’re finally stacked up from a war that everyone else forgot

I got this sickness down in my lungs son and my blood's running thin
Boy I think you're looking at the ghost of a Vietnam veteran

I've seen some good men go down and they say I'm the lucky one because I got to come back to town

It's been near forty years and I can't close the door
Just walking around in my own damn house as a Prisoner Of War

Yeah it's near forty years later, and there's another war in progress
There's stands another soldier with his own traumatic stress

He's driving a tank through the sand, watching all the destruction on the screen
He tells me it's all more like a video game with all the brand new technology

He says you know man I feel like I've aged twenty some odd years
It’s only been seven short months since I shipped my ass back over here

Cause they work us hard every day and night. And I'm finding out it takes a whole lot of work to cover up stuff that just ain't right

You know I’ve seen some good men go down like Birch and Chavez from the first tank battalion

You know it’s a crying shame caus they will never be a settled score
Cause no matter whether we live or we die… we'll always be… Prisoners Of War”

Don’t forget to buy his cd. Don’t let real art die. Show your appreciation.

My latest AUDIO can be heard on the Chirbit network. It was the closure of Season 4. Season 5 is slowly being prepared. I got a lot of socializing to catch up with. Sometimes that's more important. Especially when Love is in the air! If you haven't heard it YET, here it is: "Ulysses V: Poetry plus twice the Weather! - TSPS SHOW NR3". This was the last announcement for it. Just buying time.

Benoît Arnaud Duval : “Thanks for adding me. I am delighted to have found this unknown dedication to Sufism and Rumi! His Poetry is so great ~ The Rumi of the 21st century ~ The Ali of Poetry ~ the Emperor of Texas”



Wishes to Remain Anonymous :  “It is a pleasure for us ♥ All praise goes to God ♥ Thank you.”



Season 4 has come to a closure! All its entries in chronological order on 'the Texian Space Port for your Soul!' can be read via this link. Ulysses V is a place where I publish all my STUFF. It was before I was on Facebook. Facebook is cool. It basically suffices. Still I keep my .COM address 'theemperoroftexas' updated. I like to have an independent platform.



http://www.theemperoroftexas.com/2011/08/season-4-recap.html

Everypoet.net is a Poetry website with many great Poets. My Poetry is a way for me to share Love and passion, anger and care and whatnot? It is a great, though, not the most easy of mediums to share mysticism and elevated Love comin' all the way form the Universe and beyond! Don't forget to read on it. Some new Poetry will be published very shortly from now.



http://www.everypoet.net/poetry/blogs/benoit4u/

Here in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the weather is soaked wet. Clouds have invaded the Sky all around. It feels like Eastern monsoon. The wind gushes through the city from a Southwestern direction in strong blows. The temperature is Fahrenheited at 70. Humidity is around 91%. All by all it was a wet day. The Sun should set in 40 minutes from now. Visibility is decreasing slowly, from 3 miles to nothing.

I have found some new inspiration! A Love poem, should be published JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT. So stay put. Love is something I can write about! You gotta be tough. You gotta be a man. You gotta be a writer. It's a writers' privilege that I share with you, exclusively. Love is the NR1 commodity that this Planet needs. Desperation is everywhere. You can break it!

Season 5 has started! It will concentrate mainly on Poetry. This poem is for my most Loved one on my boat. I have been caught red-handed at Love. Excerpt: "The moment is astronomical. The moment is alchemical. The moment is the stars that have shifted of horizon in a new Creation. You have made this possible. “You are my moon”,”I am not there”,”I am somewhere else”.”You are my gravity”.



 

Here in tulip city, the Netherlands, it's a humid day. Clouds all around, hiding the full moon above the once harbor city of Amsterdam. The wind is blowing gently from a Southern direction contrasting the grey day with a warm breeze. The temperature is around 60 degrees. Humidity is very high at 90%. There should be some drizzle later. It's a typical August day for around here. Visibility is 6 miles and decreasing as the day furthers.



I have got to get the mechanics of my writing oiled! So am spending the afternoon smearing the changes all around the web. Season 5 will concentrate on Poetry. It started two days ago with a poem of your Rumi of the 21th century. It is dedicated to my most pretty female on my boat. It's called "I can feel you next to me". Rumi and Astronomy are linked just as is Love!



http://www.everypoet.net/poetry/blogs/benoit4u/

The Rumi of the 21st century has taken the Sunday afternoon to finish a poem dedicated to Love. It was written for my most beloved female on my boat. Its alternative title is "I can feel you next to me!" ~ "You are my moon" ~ "You are my gravity". Season 5 has begun! It will be dedicated chiefly to Poetry and the fleshy intricate aspects of Love in its totality. It is Sufi-Christian might! It’s the Rumi incarnation!



http://www.theemperoroftexas.com/2011/08/season-5-begins-with-poem-i-can-feel.html

The final version of "I can feel you next to me" has been published on my Poetry blog. It is dedicated to my most pretty female on my boat. Excerpt: “I can feel you next to me”, “You are my Rose upon this world, uncut, unadorned, since all Time”. “You are pure Love in Earthly body”.



http://www.everypoet.net/poetry/blogs/benoit4u/

My Facebook is starting to get busy. If I haven't taken time to know you. I will! I gotta find time. I've got some very lovely women on my boat. So it's time I get busy and start getting to know you better if I haven't yet. I have also gotta take some time for the few real men that I have gathered on my Facebook. I have neglected most of you. I spend days oiling my writings all over the net. I simplified everything as to have more time. What's the point else!

I preferred the good-old fashioned 55mm lens to what they ship in mobile phones. The difference is a good 25 mm, impairing the object irrevocably. The full moon seems so distant than the eyesight would witness. Nothing can beat a 55mm lens. It's a crime what comes packed together with the latest gadgets, even though flashy. On the other hand it's handy and fun. It's late. I am going to sleep!



Here in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the summer has revived! The wind is blowing from a Western direction bringing cool Sea breezes to the evening. The temperature is Fahrenheited at 63. Humidity has seriously decreased to 68%. As the evening sets in, the Sky is filled with a light red orange shine. The Sun should set in about 10 minutes. Visibility is decreasing from 2 miles to nothing, quickly.

My lists don't appear. I will see what comes of them. It's not the first time. After a while they reappear. This feature doesn't always work. It's great to know that other people are writing. Often it is my source of inspiration and dedication!

Here in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the weather is pleasant. The Summer has somewhat revived. The wind is blowing from a Northern direction bringing a pleasant cool breeze. The temperature is only 70 degrees. Still, it feels warm. Humidity has decreased in the past week from a constant of around 90% to around 70% at the moment. All by all it’s a pleasant August day. Visibility is a good 6 miles and increasing at 1 PM.
