Falling Off A Cliff

 












Falling Off A Cliff


Falling off a cliff

Is easier than falling out of love with you

'Cause you don't have a lot to grab hold of

While falling into a valley below

But oh, so much to hold onto

When you're trying to let love go.


Falling through the ice

Is easier than falling out of love with you

'Cause underneath that icy prison

You can't breathe anything

And trying to inhale in this world of woe

Is like breathing frozen air.


Falling into insanity

Is easier than falling out of love with you

'Cause insanity distorts your every thought

And you can't think with rational mind

But love's insanity amplifies

Each pain for all of time.


Falling into that love

Was easier than falling out of love with you

'Cause our love was a gift from the heights of heaven

And this is a bottomless well

That my heart fell into when yours let it go

And reaches still to that heaven that's turned now to hell.

Mountains Of The Moon

A Little Bit Yours

 

THE OFFERING

THE OFFERING 



  I MOVE-----------------------

ONE TENTATIVE FINGER AT A TIME

SLOWLY---------------------

UNTIL MY FINGERS COME TOGETHER

AND FORM A BOWL IN THE PALM OF MY HAND

AND IN MY PALM APPEARS AN OFFERING: MY HEART

I REACH----------------------

ONE HEARTBEAT AT A TIME

SLOWLY--------------------

UNTIL MY HAND COMES TO REST

IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES

AND I SEE THAT YOU SEE.

I WAIT------------------------

AFRAID TO BREATHE,

 AFRAID TO MOVE, AFRAID TO SPEAK

I STAND--------------------

WAITING AN ETERNITY

FOR YOUR ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION

OF THIS, MY HEART

MY PRECIOUS OFFERING, MY ONLY GIFT

WORTHY OF ONE LIKE YOU.

I SMILE---------------------

FOR YOU REACH FORTH YOUR HAND

 AND TAKE MY HAND

IN YOURS

AND WITHOUT MOVING YOUR EYES FROM MINE

YOU PLACE MY PALM AGAINST YOUR LIPS

AND KISS IT

THEN PLACING IT AGAINST YOUR CHEST

UPON YOUR HEART

YOU ACCEPT MY OFFERING

AND WITH PURE LOVE SHINING IN YOUR EYES

YOU EXTEND YOUR HAND TO ME

AND THERE I SEE IN THE BOWL OF YOUR PALM

THE HEART I DESIRE ABOVE ALL THINGS

I CLASP IT TO MY OWN

AND MELTING INTO YOUR STRONG ARMS

AND EYES---------------------

WE BECOME ONE

IN ETERNITY.

Saturday Night at Voo's House...back in the day....When Crazy was Real, Ya'll!

Voo.....aka The Pink Lady aka Madonna

aka The Girl Who Had No Buttons


Get This Party Started!


                                       Yes, every Saturday was Halloween at Voo's house

Costumes were not only encouraged but required

Neighborhood girls frequently raided my closets, much to their

mothers' chagrin. We were a glamorous lot! Sometimes we did shows

and photo shoots on the front lawn (and caused many car wrecks.)

"I can't tell you how many times I heard mothers screaming
at their kids across the street "Get in that house and change your clothes!!!
You look like a bunch a hookers!!!!"
No...they looked like me....Voo, the Diva.  sigh

                                   **Their moms preferred them to dress like this

but....you know...girls will be girls

and they all wanted to be me, apparently.
👼

Me in my 14 and one half minutes of fame


Various people who showed up on Saturday nights

The Saturn guy. nobody knew his name...


Bruce in disguise

anybody here remember Bruce?

Mr T as a child


Lenny and Chad

T-Wayne, the non-Jewish wannabe rapper

who could only rap in hillbilly and Hebrew

(so sad)

👀👀

 Risky Rusty Rusky from Australia
my partner in poetic crime
and inventor of Ear Socks and other ridiculous fashions
that never caught on......

These two shall forever remain anonymous


                                          Hey, those are My pajamas!!!!

The non famous painting of a famous painter
painting a semi famous infamous Voo who has since become
relatively famous in some infamous parts of the internet
and/ or other known and unknown parts of the galaxy.....
and asylum waiting rooms everywhere!!!



                                      I had my Marilyn Monroe phase too.

For years, people would stop when I was outside and ask for Marilyn's

autograph till they realized that she was dead. But my house was

a real life haunted house so I just signed as "Marilyn Monroe's Ghost"

Women scorned but guys loved me....

I kept the neighbors entertained. Once I invited some people over for a barbecue/get together in my back yard. I got everything set up and went to take a shower and get dressed and when I came back outside to see if anyone had shown up yet......there were about 300 people out there!!!! Not one inch of the lawn was un- covered by people, blankets or lawn chairs!!!! I was stunned!!! I didn't even know half of them! That party is still talked about till this day!!! Even some local celebrities showed up! And some infamous YouTube stars that I will not mention at this time.......



 

Smitty, Bear, Kristoff and LeeNut
(That's my buddy Smitty with the rose in his hair)
completely insane guy...once set his own eyebrows
on fire just for a laugh....


Impromptu concert and runway modeling........
followed by the traditional eating of the pizza
and daring Smitty to do something outrageous...
(Not that he ever needed encouraging to do something
outrageous) Usually all of his "Hey, Ya'll, watch this!"
was followed by our "Oh, my God!!! Is he dead!!!?")

He once went to a party with me with all his clothes on
backwards......people were so confused all night....
(And it was darned hard to button up his collar and tie
his tie down his back, let me tell you....!!!)

Once he went to an event with me and Chris, my girlfriend
and we had to stop for gas on the way. I had my fur coat
in my car and he was in the other car with Chris. As we girls 
were pumping the gas for both cars, he put on my fur coat
and a hat and pretended he was our "pimp" and was
ordering us around and yelling that we were too slow
and  wasting time when we could be making him money!!!
We were so embarrassed because it drew a crowd....
but we got our revenge later when we took him out in the woods
and pistol whipped him, took all his money and put him out
in the Red Light district which we thought was appropriate.......
wearing one sock and shoe and  no shirt and with 
SUPER PIMP written on his chest in magic marker....

(not really) (maybe) (I ain't sayin')
more on Smitty later........


Voo braids guy's hair into multicolored curly things.....
After too many Purple Passion drinks on the part of both parties...
they could never get them out and eventually they
had to be surgically removed......


Prince makes an unexpected surprise visit.....
He said Paisley Park had gotten much too
boring for him and he had heard about
Voo's Place and came to check it out....
He did four numbers and told me what they all meant in morse code
I helped him write his next album
which has not been released yet so stay tuned....Oops!
One number we co-wrote was called Voo Voo's Voo Oodle Doo
He said it was pretty delirious and was going to have to tweak it
down .........alas..!!!! It's somewhere in his vault...
along with a picture of me wearing something.....
purple..............(Or maybe he took it with him, who knows? May he R.I.P.)




💜💜💜💜

One Saturday night, I threw a surprise wedding
on my lawn. It was 32 degrees that night and 81
the next day.....The preacher (a friend of mine)
offered us a hundred dollars to call it off till
it got warmer.....we refused......It was a magical
night. (cost me $2000.00 to decorate the lawn plus
wedding cake, etc but it was worth it)

(true story)


One night three adorable little elves showed up
and sang me carols till I was forced to turn the water
hoses on them and run them away. (They looked
suspiciously like me which was all the more upsetting)
Especially when I remembered that winter when my dad
got lost at the North Pole and didn't get back home till  Spring)
Oh, now that makes sense!!!!! For their last number, 
they did Papa Was a Rolling Stone....I thought that was
odd.........but now......hmmmmm I remember Mama
never celebrated Christmas after that with her
usual enthusiasm....



Joe Joe, one of my occasional Saturday night guests 
trying to hitch a ride to my house............(I told him he might
have better luck if he would just leave the axe at home
but he said it was given to him by his cousin Lizzie and that
he would not part with it) (But he cuts wood for my fireplace
for free so I don't complain much) (Except I no longer have a fireplace)




Joe Joe's favorite song....Let's Go Crazy



That shameful, it will go down in history night
when we all got pickled on Purple Passion
and decided to dye one another's hair and miscellaneous
other parts of our anatomies.....PURPLE!!!!!
I was 19, I had an afro....I loved Purple Rain by Prince
so I thought.....why not??? It seemed like a perfectly logical
thing to do at the time..........



   


                          






Then there was the night we instituted a dress code
for all the cats in my neighborhood............
The only feline that co-operated was this little guy
named Billy........
Who was ganged up on later by the rebellious
cats who could not be swayed by promises of 
Meow Mix and cat toys....
SO.........We just held them hostage and dressed 
them up like paper dolls and set them loose 
to explain why they came home wearing tutus
and little tiaras.....It was hilarious!!!
I LOVE CATS!!!!!
But my slogan has always been:
What's the use in having a cat if you can't torment it?? lol
Fair is fair, cats love to torment us......



Omar who came to love his Mickey Mouse ears.....


poor Chloe......she hated my guts.......


And here's Baby.....in her knee socks and 
Strawberry Shortcake bonnet.....


yes, it's true, I had a Groucho fetish.......sigh





and Homer...who hated wearing dresses, 
pajamas, shoes, and also the name Homer.....





LeeNut goes full blown Groucho Marx
one Saturday night. My house was always 
full of kids, friends, relatives and
people I didn't even know.......it
was the place to be. I miss those days.

(me sitting on porch of my former house)

The house is gone now. All that remains
are the front steps that lead to...Nowhere!
(And the cemetery, of course) Lots of memories, pets
and former lovers there, alas!  sigh  I mean...not!)


You don't even want to know...........
and I don't want to tell you EVER!!!............lol

Baby Two Hats
(yes, we even dressed up the children!!!!
omg, the poor children!!!!)






Baby Two Hats
(Little Laughing Pony)
the little Indian boy
who has now gone to the other side
and become a cowboy........

😄😄


Jethro the Cat who Sat.......
like a person
and supervised our parties
from under the safety of a table.


now......let's do it!!! Let's be....
Bustin Loose, ya'll


I Can Make You Dance
(I'll put Hot Sauce in your pants)


Lean On Me...The Raisins
