Rambunctious, rebellious, rawRufus radiates red, Ra
He rouses a robust resonance from deep within
You do not disappoint me
Rufus you rouse the robust resonance from within
You radiate the deep red of Ra
Rambunctious, rebellious, raw

Side note of inspiration; Greg Hernandez on Meeting Rufus Wainwright...May 1, 2008
"...during his acceptance speech, he said: "An artist's decision to live an authentic life should go hand-in-hand with success. The more honest you are and more willing to share, the more gratifying it will be for your audience."
He also touched on something that I have heard friends of mine express and I to some degree also feel (but much less so after my years of therapy!): "We have to work so hard to be so brilliant and be so fabulous all the time, we often forget that we are damaged and we are hurt. To allow gay people to think everything is fine - it's not."
I love how this man has been true to himself from the very beginning and has such openness and honesty."
In honesty

ReplyDeleteSo true it is!
Don't know Rufus, but you made a great poem and case for him. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments. Ra to Jeeves, I think you related to the best part Printemps, and Marc - check him out. People seem to have a love or hate relationship with him - I like that he breaks the rules honestly.
ReplyDeleteHave to find out who he is!
ReplyDeleteYour NaiSaiKu as always was a great one!
Hope things are well,
