Rene Rosso (aka Holly) penned a beauty in October, 2018.
Based on an old polaroid of Carmine & me, she came up with a poem that sticks in my heart and mind. If you click on the pic, you will go to her original post!
Remember back when you were a rock star
and I was a hippie angel?
How comfortable we were with our
heart and souls bared.
Do you remember now that you are so far
away that night in Eden when you came to me
and I came to you and the rest of the world
slipped away?
We held on to one another, made love and cried
decided never to speak of how every time
the lights went out you rushed to me,
so tender, coming and going.
Young and in love, we named that month Sextember,
yes, it still matters to me.
Do you remember our anguished goodbye?
Neither do I.
Have EYE ever thanked Holly enough?

I originally reblogged this on my Queen’s end blog. Now that GALM is all art inclusive, I will be moving many articles here. With the Jeep’s guidance, I will be consolidating both blogs, creatively.

Everything about this post was beautiul.even Jeepo.
AH, Lonely, thank you so very much. Holly has a way, and to be honoured on that way is beautiful. Jeepo, well, I see she has you enchanted with her allure.
Beautiful post, Resa. It’s a very nice poem. I’m enchanted with your painting! I really love that one. And Jeep looks so handsome and smart. Hugs from Crystal and me.
Thank you Teagan! I take it Crystal is your kitty? Well…{{hugs}} all around!
Resa, this, ROCKS. Great post. I love everything about it. Fabulous…and Jeep is sooo beautiful.
Yeah, the Jeep…. I could only make her pic “medium”.
Full size, she would have stole the post!
It’s a fun, cool post!
Wonderful Polaroid that inspired Holly’s beautiful poem. Eye love your one eye drawings, Resa. This drawing is particularly alluring, with an engaging look, beautiful lips, with a slight hint of a cat on her hat turning into colorful locks framing her pretty face. Jeepo is gorgeous. Looks like he rules the household.
It is a neat old Polaroid. I have a lot from the Polaroid days, when we used it to take pics of fittings & continuity for films and TV. Carmine was in the first movie I ever designed the costumes for.
I’m really into the one eye drawings these days. After being more focused on a gown, I can just cut looser.
Jeepo is a little girl. I found her in the alley, years ago. She had a litter. Johnny still lives here, somewhere, in a closet.
Yeah, Jeep is definitely in charge of the household. Somehow, she has also taken control of the bed. It’s amazing how much space a little cat can take up. I love her a lot!!
I still have one or two Polaroid cameras around. They were very useful for testing shots, and getting instant feedback. Instant print cameras are back in style at the moment. I would think that Jeep runs the household, bed and all. Our kitties have to share the bed. Each kitty has a favorite place to sleep on me. Even with the heat, I still have 3 or 4 cats on me every morning.
Hahahaha! I know what you mean about the heat, but the cats love it!! We sweat bullets, they are a purrfect temperature.
Yes, I remember photographers taking test shots with Polaroid.
I know this sounds old fashioned, but I miss actual film.
Photos were more precious.
Now, it’s overkill.
Wow, was I surprised and delighted to find this! We had fun with it and still having fun.
Love it Resa.
RR (aka Holly)
Yeah, fun! 🙃😘
I am also fusing the 2 blogs. I think I mentioned it
. Anyway, I can’t just reblog if I plan to delete the Qe blog in the end. Our chats, guided by Jeepo, has put me on a creative path.
I’m sure I’ll figure another again-life for this poem.
🙃😘
I like video when he’s older, better. Seems time looks good on him. 🙃😘
There’s a surprise at HoH . I found the Jimmy Fallon show featuring Vanilla Fudge and Carmine. I hope you like it.
OMG!!! I love it! You closed comments before I found this comment and the post, or I would have been all over the comments. I got into watching movies last night.
Thank you, dear Holly! xoxo ❤
Caught you napping 😴♥️
mmmmmm, lol, more like out cold! 🙃😴<3 ❤

I love that mermaid.

You rock …. Jeep ! 🙂 xoxoxo ❤
I knew that one itsy pic of the Jeep would steal the post. That’s why I didn’t make it full size!
🙂 xoxoxo ❤🙂 xoxoxo ❤
You rock too my friend xoxoxo ❤
Yeah, and you too! 😀 xoxoxoxo ❤
Fabulous.
Can you hug Jeep? My old cat used to let me. And then he’d clamber into my shoulders and dribble everywhere.
Hug Jeep??? She insists on it! Hug me, kiss me, pet me, scratch me, carry me like a baby! it’s endless. I’m exhausted from loving her. At least she doesn’t drool. Vomiting is a whole other story.
I’ll give her an extra hug for you!
Thanks! A hug and teach her some English as well, “Y’oreet luv?” – “Wahey!” – “Proper beltin’ that is, eh!” etc.
So far she has come up with…. ‘urrrrr & ‘eow.
Word of the day for Merriam-Webster is REDACTION. So, redact this.
‘edaction?
Oui.
Non?
BON!
A sweet and sad poem, Resa. Holly is amazing. What a treat to be honored by her words. 🙂
I am very honoured! Holly is a great poet. She weaves her words into the most gorgeous fabrics. 😀
I love your sketches … and I love that picture, when I saw it in Queen’s end it was a big surprise !!
It is a pleasure to meet the beautiful young woman who poses with the rock star … she is another great star.
Kisses.
LOL! Thank you so much my dear Belén.

Jeepo is a star for sure. Trust his guidance 🙂
Her… her guidance. Yes, she will be leading (bossing) me through this time of change.
It’s a wonderful poem. Yet, Jeep knows that she is ever so much more fabulous.
– Love from Jeep! ❤
Oh sorry Resa!!!!! We usually have male cats 🙂 And you are right, she looks bossy, it is why I made this mistake LOL
Hahaha! I think all cats are girls. She is the boss of bosses!
And you love her for that 🙂
Yeah…my little girl! 😀 😀
I do love the poem, the painting, and of course Jeepo. ❤
Yes, Jeepo is the best! I love her…. a lot! ❤
I made the pic of Jeepo small. If I made it big, she would have stolen the post! ❤

Loved the drawing and poem
Thank you!! The poem is awesome!
Your welcome!
I wasn’t a rock star, so I didn’t have a troupe of angels for my pickings … nonetheless, love the link you drew from Holly. Cheers to the Jeepster’s influence on you combining your blogs.
Yeah, Jeepo’s in charge of my getting it all together.
Anyway, it was a fun, long ago time. It’s nice to have a look back on good times, once in awhile. Mostly full steam ahead is the path I’m on!
Give Jeepo a treat and a head rub for me!
Okay… that will make 12 treats and 20 head rubs today. Honestly, she just can’t get enough!
Good mom!
Absolutely a beautiful poem and the photo is so cute and superbly beautiful. 🙂 Happiness is love.
…. and happiness to you, Charlie! 😀
Bless you my friend. 🙂
