Misunderstood
i thought English is universal, global
what i wrote was utterly misunderstood
words i used were clear and metaphorical
i know i’ve done it as fair as i could
now, straightforward and less of metaphors
expressions will be broad and open
country to country meanings differ to score
my heart was broken, our friendship i cared for

10 things you need to know about Greek wine!
know more about wine, this is awesome…!
I recently attended a two day Greek wine roadshow and masterclass in Sydney where the Greeks showcased their wine under the banner of “New Wines of Greece”. Talk about bad timing though, it was held right as the recent crisis hit the poor buggers back home. I tried hard not to mention the situation because I could tell they were struggling with it all unfolding while they were away.

Not forever
big bucks, bundles of money
wealth is like honeycomb of honey
but it don’t make a lonely man happy

Russia is slowly rebuilding its history and carefully gaining grounds with respect to sympathy from the christian world against extremist terrorists.
I would like to preface this post by saying that I’m not trying espouse any political agenda nor state my own religious beliefs with the following article. What I did find fascinating is the idea that a country’s values can change and swing to polar opposites as can be seen here. I’m also betting that there will be those who will dispute the information and even be offended. The re-post may do so but is designed to provoke thinking and open discourse to look at what is really happening and why. What is truly the reality? I’m looking forward to see the reaction and hear comments.
Is Russia more Christian than the United States?

James Bond Eat Your Heart Out

Love has Wings to Fly
if love has wings to fly
then climbing hills and mountains
are treks for sad goodbyes
lovebirds and doves are birds of prey
hunters may aim to shoot
while in flight as they may
fired upon my love that is mine
by a single shot letting it down
my winged love can still fly
like the spirit of the wine
