A romantic poet

Open Mic night in Ritzy upstairs at Brixton, near the Victoria line Brixton underground station, south of London.

Organized by the energetic Joanna.

I did tell a story, also well received, I did not like my voice from the Mic! So different as I told in the intimacy of home.

I specially liked a clarinettist tale about how difficult it was to conquer his girlfriend, and playing clarinet pieces, but at least, at the end he did gain confidence in himself: because he persisted challenging himself. So well told too!

Eugene Power, who read romantic beautiful poems to us that he has written. He promised to send me two of them, so I could put it here.

Here is the first of Eugene Power's poem, Wonderful, isn't it!

Some Other Side Of Me

Some other side of me remembers you,

Like a memory that can’t be placed

Some other side of me remembers you.

Some other side of me has been with you before,

And loved you.

Like a wave that comes back on the shore

Some other side of me remembers you.

Together we have breathed

In a deep, dreaming sleep,

Like babes on the sand

Of a sunny, whispering shore.

Some other side of me 

Has laughed with you before. 

Our spirits have intertwined 

With the silvery, blue sea

On another shore of time.

As I got out from the open mic event, I took some photos of the night in Brixton.

Brixton seemed far but with the underground Victoria line is very fast to get there, and there will be OPEN MIC true storytelling there from now on, each month the 3rd Monday.


All who could come, wecome!
