♥ Colpo di fulmine ♥'s blog

My husband's project for a great cause.

Funny how something can make you laugh so much--especially when thinking how it would sound at 3 in the morning, coming from your open windows! Yes, I am a brat! ;)

I will check in here from time to time to say "hello". I have enjoyed my time here, (at least last year) and truly wish you all a wonderful holiday. Thank you for the wonderful comments, notes and email. My sister's death just passed, and I have so much going on. Always know, you are in my heart.

As I said, I will indeed come back to say "hello" and such. As for now, I am going to pour myself a nice glass of Michelob, and relax to some music after a long day of working at the hospital. Enjoy your Tuesday.

A little bit about my husband Stefan's magazine, its goals, and some kind words from Cassandra.

(To my husband Stefan. Happy 1 week anniversary, tesoro. I am so in love with you.)

All the quiet afternoon I envision you,
thinking about adoration, I remember.
I close my eyes, follow a feather trail
beneath the azure sky, where you draw
me down tenderly.

Contained by the summer breeze,
the scent of twin souls permeate
the air. It is there, where I promise
poetry against the cherry of your
precious heart—
because I must empty myself of
self,... I must scream love into
infinity, like a beacon in the night
calling the ships home.

Thus spoken, these words I offer:

by way of San Francisco, warmed
by an illumination that reflects in your
window, my eyes will uncover all that
is beautiful.

An embrace, evidence of the real.
An untainted beating in the chest,
my only compass.

Never journey far from me.
Lead me to your nirvana.

Allow me to reveal love, to capture
and set free all that is ours.
So, when the aching sea pushes to
the California shore, naught could
weaken, ever churn the palms
of our fragile hands—so nothing
would loosen the bond between
us two.

Allow me to take you home, my love.
I will carry you to where nothing splits
the rings that bind our lives—where
prayers like a circle of summer songs
that swim within the loving eye, idling
a moment before slipping to sand.

It will be in that moment, we will
become paper boats and sail into
the horizon together—
that sacred second within the sea,
where you and I speak our vows
into the future, incessantly.

"Baby, its you...only you. Your are the only woman who has entered my unfinished being that is a constant, a true heart, a love worth indulging, a woman whom brings new breath, a new life into this small piece of universal oneness. I knew you before this life, I loved you before the universe exploded into an abyss of life. We are the first spark of existence spread amid the vastness of time. A thousand thousand years from now when we are reborn, we will remember these moments and will have set the example of love untold for others to imitate, never to emulate. Only this love is known to you and I. Seek me in the days ahead and I will seek you again. If I should pass from this life before you, the last image I desire to take with me is your beautiful face smiling into my eyes. The last breath I shall want to enter me is yours. You are all that is me, my completion lies within you. My Sweet, I am nothing without you...

I sit on the Bay's edge looking across the blue, the caps of white rolling into the shore, I think of you. Return me to that day of innocence when we were spread among the stars, we breathed together as one. Bring to me that day at this moment, this very moment, let it not end until the end, the day when our energies merge together and the universe begins again anew. Speak to me the language known only to you and me. Words seems so inadequate...say nothing to me, touch me, feel me, allow the language to speak without sound, and I am yours always until the sky falls into the sea. Baby, take me away... take me to your world, take me home to that place lying deep within you, the place of peace and joy eternal.

Take me home... I so love you,

Always your

See-Saw"

"The one woman I will defend and protect to the end, walk across a thousand deserts to touch, the one woman I choose to stand beside me in this life. I love you Cher, you have captivated me and captured my heart. I will give all I am to all of you. Heaven did not exist until you. Every pore of my body screams out to the celestial bodies your name. Yours until the implosion of the universe.

I so love you. Stefan"

I must say, I have never felt such butterflies, as I do when he looks deep into my eyes as we make love ( ... and we do between 4 and 8 times a day). :o (Sorry, had to mention his stamina! I will go to confession later for it.) ;)

And, it is so adorable how he wakes as soon as I leave his arms when he is asleep. ... he asks me back. I, of course, move right back into his loving arms. :) You know, it is not only that he is wonderful at making love to me, it is in the way he knows how to love me. And he is so gentle and precise, my entire heart and soul can feel the devotion he carries for me within each touch of his fingertips. And how my hair in his hands can drive me wild! ;)

Stefan truly loves me unconditionally. For once in my life I have found someone consistent and true to his heart. He is courageous, a real man, sweet, handsome, sexy, intelligent, warm, bratty, loving, beautiful, well mannered, humble, and he is my husband. ... he has shown me what true love really is. Good night and so many hugs to you all.

-Me

(For Stefan)

Here beneath the clouded blue, we place soft hands
together— an applause before the sea, like two ships
that set sail into the horizon.

Here we join and touch lips, fingertip to fingertip, we
sing to the rhythm of a new song— buoyant on the blue,
our souls become one.

Here, my love, we slip into a new autumn, what is
ours, divine—exquisitely intact, where voice is poetry
that the breeze blends into the skin, softly into the bone.

Here, you are my tutor,... touch me gently, show me
all that is true. Feel the contour, beloved—thus is utter
adoration.

And as we release the butterflies from the sweetened
tongue, the waves swallow our toes like gentle stars
kissed by the night, where we compose the photograph,
our hearts, anchors reaching toward the shore.

-Cher

A lot has been happening as of late. One thing to mention is that Stefan and I are getting married this weekend. Afterward I will finish what I am doing (as will he) and then we will have a formal wedding in Monterey, California next spring. (... or beside the Cliff house in San Francisco, Ca.)

www.cliffhouse.com

He and I have been best friends for a very long time, and have decided to become one even more so. It is the best thing to do--he is the one who really loves me inside and out, and he has done everything in his power to mend my heart, hold my hand and give me faith once more. :)

"I dedicate the song by the Eagles, "No More Cloudy Days" to you. For I have been out here lost and searchin' lookin' for a girl like you. I believe in you. Don't be afraid to fall in love again. Put your hand in mine. I would never make you cry, I would never make you blue, I would never let you down, I would never be untrue. No more stormy nights, no more cloudy days.

You are so beautiful in my eyes. Cher, I love you more at this moment than I did 1 hour ago. You are so incredible and I am so happy you are part of my life and I have this opportunity to love you as I do in this present existence. I am so looking forward to our future together.

Cher, I love you so much.

Yours always, Stefan "

Stefan is a good person, stable, and he is kind. He is a publisher, director, producer, and promoter (as well as the owner of a magazine and other things) in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Hollywood. The most important thing? Well, he has stood up, told me his feelings without fear, and has been the one consistent, non-elusive man in my life. He does not play games or act childish and confused. He is true to his heart, and that means a lot to me right now.

Seems everyone else walks in and out of my life so easily. Like I said, he is consistent. At the moment, I cannot see myself writing romantic poetry or anything like it. But that is because I trusted so much in the past and my heart was blown away. ... it may never be the same from such an abandonment. But I see myself already feeling free from the past and writing lovely things here or there.

Something nice to think about: Stefan has a nephew who is 10. He told me I was his favorite and said he prays each night that I will become his "Aunt Cher". What a sweet boy, yes? Anyway, I have to go to work right now, but will add more on this later. Looks like it is going to rain today,... I hope so, because I love the rain so much. :)

This song is so hot!! I NEED to dance to it this Friday,... so, I will ask the DJ to play it loud. I wish you all could come dancing with me. We can all go in my car! ;) Oh my gosh, what fun that would be!!

-Cher Mc Brat ;)

I hope everyone is having a nice one. Sending you all so many hugs.

-Cher

I remember going dancing to this. We had the dance down perfectly. Let me just say, your legs are absolutely sore afterwards!

The other night I went out with a bunch of girls. I must have danced to 24 songs straight. The DJ pulled me aside and thanked me for keeping the dance floor alive. Well, it was not my intention; I had 2 glasses of Baily's on crushed ice! ;) I am not much of a drinker, so that is all it took for me to tie a rope around the dance floor and make it mine!

(((HUGS)))

I have always loved this band. And, as you know, I loved Autumn. I am wishing you all a day full of smiles and laughter. Of course, not without sending you all so many hugs from within my heart.

(((((((HUGS)))))))

At the 17th annual Aria awards (the australian equivalent of the grammys)
Delta Goodrem was nominated for a record 10 arias.

As she was currently undergoing treatment for non-hodgkins lymphoma, she was unfortunately unable to perform one of her 4 no.1 singles. Therefore Darren Hayes was flown in from Los Angeles, where he was busy recording tracks for his album 'The Tension and The Spark', to perform Delta's second single off her debut album (innocent eyes).

Here is darren's moving tribute to delta... 'lost without you'
also included at the end is delta's emotional and heartwrenching response.

(He is one of my favorite artists. He has such a beautiful heart.) :)

(forgive me) ;) (or not!)


... each morning as I take out the rubbish, I see the neighbor next door let her dog loose. (Mind you, this dog is about an inch high, and weighs a good 60 pounds.) Once her dog uses the outer facilities, he runs over to me, barking. Now I have lived in this particular flat for a bit, and each time that dog comes near me he makes a fuss. At times, he stands on my back porch and continuously goes on, until I open the door.

You see, he has become very afraid of me, and for good reasons - all I have to do is open the door and he takes off – all I hear are the sounds of his nails scratching the patio, as he tries to pick up speed. It could be the look I give him when I peer around the door or perhaps the tone in my voice. I do not know – I try to be composed, but somehow my teeth clench when I tell him to hush.

I do not dislike dogs, I just cannot comprehend why she allows him to carry on for so long without coming to see what the quandary is. He can go on for hours and hours, until I cannot take it, and go upstairs to the third floor. I sit in my office and I can still hear him. There is no escape.

When it begins to hit midnight, she lets him out again. I roll my eyes and imagine him running straight to my window,... and he does. I am at my wits end.

Someday I am going to make use of this little tyrant – someday I will put my hand in his little rear and use him to buff my car. I may get a shriek from his owner, but I presume that the remainder of the neighbors will be behind me, ... awaiting their turn. ;)
