Oração

Meu amor essa é a última oração
Pra salvar seu coração
Coração não é tão simples quanto pensa
Nele cabe o que não cabe na dispensa

Cabe o meu amor!
Cabe em três vidas inteiras
Cabe em uma penteadeira
Cabe nós dois

Cabe até o meu amor
Essa é a última oração pra salvar seu coração
Coração não é tão simples quanto pensa
Nele cabe o que não cabe na dispensa

Cabe o meu amor!
Cabe em três vidas inteiras
Cabe em uma penteadeira
Cabe essa oração


English
Prayer

My love, this is the last prayer
To save your heart
The heart is not as simple as you think
It holds what what does not fit in the cupboard

It holds my love
It holds three life times
It holds a dresser
It holds both of us

It even holds my love
This is the last prayer to save your heart
The heart is not as simple as you think
It holds what does not fit in the cupboard

It holds my love
It holds three life times
It holds a dresser
It holds this prayer

Starcrossed

Disclaimer: I have known Josie for most of my life. She is a phenomenal human being in many ways. So I may be biased here. None the less, when any friend hands you something they have created, there is always excitement mixed with the fear that you will hate it. More often than not I am underwhelmed by my friends attempts at greatness. Aren't we all? This is not the case with Starcrossed. I fucking loved it!

Starcrossed is exceptional. Recently published by Harper Teen it is the first book in a trilogy. It takes the Illiad, the epic Greek poem with Helen of Troy, the Trojan War, gods, demigods, love and destruction, and places it in a high school in modern day Nantucket. Josie described it to me as Romeo and Juliet meets the Iliad. There might be a touch of Twilight and Harry Potter in there as well.

It is an epic love story and a battle for the fate of humankind with the gods. It has super powers, timeless beauty; there is mystery and deceit both hidden and revealed around every corner. I started it on a flight and finished it the following day at 1:30am. I was totally hooked. My sister Aileen is mentioned (as a dead character). And I think one of the actual living characters takes a few notes from Aileen's chutzpah.

The story of how the book got written is equally amazing. Check out this video piece that tells the tale. Basically, her amazing husband Leon demanded that Josie stop working for a year and finally write a book. Over the course of that year they went into credit card debt, but stayed true to the goal of Josie finishing her book. With the book complete they were now staring at real financial uncertainty. But! Within weeks of Josie finishing the book and getting it to an agent she had a seven figure publishing deal! Everyone who read Starcrossed loved it. It is already published and becoming a best seller in multiple countries.

Check out this video that tells the story:



I loved reading it. I can't wait for part two of the trilogy to come out. And when do they start making the movies?!

Go buy a copy today.

Seasoned

Seasoned


I try to walk with an open heart
You tried to run with an open heart
Still we’ve become with an open heart


This, will end. This will end I want it anyways, anyways

Laid in the sun with an open heart
Burned I return with an open heart
Beheld we are one with an open heart

This, will hurt. This will hurt I want it anyways, anyways.


Oh, the seasons, turn so far today
So many reasons we should hide away
Oh, the seasoned, battered torn they lay
Oh, this feeling, climbs right in anyway

Hide in the One with the open heart
Cherished we become with an open heart
Still I’m undone by your open heart

This, will end. This will end I want it anyways, anyways
