mirror in my eyes

My love, He said to me, " The looking glass will tell you lies. Believe the mirror in my eyes..."

Traditional Irish folk song

Seek Not My Heart
by Kit McCallum

Oh gentle winds 'neath moonlit skies,
Do not you hear my heartfelt cries?

Below the branches, here about,
Do not you sense my fear and doubt?

Side glistening rivers, sparkling streams,
Do not you hear my woeful screams?

Upon the meadows, touched with dew,
Do not you see my hearts a'skew?

Beneath the thousand twinkling stars,
Do not you feel my jagged scars?

Seek not my mournful heart kind breeze,
For you'll not find it 'mongst these trees.

It's scattered 'cross the moonlit skies,
Accompanied by heartfelt sighs.

It's drifting o're the gentle rain,
A symbol of my silent pain.

It's buried 'neath the meadow fair,
Conjoined with all the sorrow there.

It's lost among the stars this night,
Too far to ease my quiet fright.

No gentle winds,
seek not my heart,
For simply ... it has torn apart.

~Thoughts through my looking glass~

One of my favorite actors, Nicholas Clay.
I had such a crush on him! He played Sir Lancelot in the movie Excalibur. He passed away too young in 2000 at the age of 53. He was such a beautiful figure of a man. He was a British actor and underrated in my opinion.
He sure stole my heart on screen especially in his role as the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors, in the movie 'Lady Chatterly's Lover' a very beautifully done interpretation of the H.D. Lawrence novel.
I was wondering what had happened to him and searched the Internet only to find that he had passed away from cancer at such a young age. He was born a year before me and that makes his death so much more personal. September 18 is his birthday and I thought I would remember him here on my site. His movies though few brought pleasure to me.
I was engaged by his good looks and his manner on screen. Reading about him by his friends seems that he was 'as handsome is as handsome does'. In other words he was a gentlemen and a fine person in real life liked by all his contemporaries. He spent his last years teaching . Not only will his movies live on but he has left a legacy through his students.

Life is so short!

Things happen that are out of our control that dictate our feelings and actions. Illness and other circumstances have thrown me off kilter as of late. So it is good to remember the good things that I have experienced over the years. Little things like a movie remind me of points in my life. They help me relive lost love and feelings. Crazy isn't it? It is the same when you read a good book or recite a favorite poem. It stirs the senses and one can regain that feeling that one takes for granted that comes so easily in youth.
