CAESER - A Poem

Added 2024-09-03 21:14:48 +0000 UTC

Hello Humans...

Thank you for your patience while I get back on track.

Today was a good day.

I went to work at Not Saints, taught some music lessons and wrote some music. I was occupied and busy, and had little time to be sad.

I'm still a little low, processing my grandma's passing but I know it is for the best and she is at peace.

I saw my family, and we bonded over old memories. It was actually really lovely to pull together.

I plan on doing a EP over the next few months, writing and recording it on her piano.

It will be a wonderful tribute and through the music I can tell some of the stories from her incredible life. She will always be a huge inspiration to me.

RIP Marcelle Mullaly 1924-2024

Anyway, soon I'm going to have a brand new HVIRESS song for your ears!

Next week, you will be the first people to hear Black Diamond Villain.

The music Hana and I created for this upcoming album is seriously exciting, I just know you're going to love it...

However, today I just have for you a poem I found in an old songbook.

It's called "Caeser", and I really love it.

It's been kicking around for a while and it's high time I shared it with you.

It might become a song but for now here it is, I don't really know what it means but for some reason I feel it's appropriate.

Hope you enjoy reading it.

CAESER
I was idle at your grave
Never knew the dead could hurt me
Upside down and ugly
I saw straight
Became the arrow
Wounded, I took pity
And let my silence fester
Let the cancer take me
To humbled below
I stare up at the glory
There's nothing underneath
You, retelling sad story
Howling in the grief
They will all betray me
I saw in sleepless dream
See Brutus in the mirror
And Caeser, the unseen
