The Hopeless Romantic - An audio / video story

 

A True Story

A man journeys on foot into the Australian Bush on a unfamiliar track towards a cliff of the Blue Mountains. He recalls his past loves, the failures, the successes and the ones that were never to be. You can relate to this.

Based on a real journey. 

The Video contains footage from the actual day. Think of it as a Video Diary told slightly afterwards. 90-95% + of all content is real. 

The Hopeless Romantic

Written and Narrated by Anthony J. Langford

Caitlan played by Elise Kolman

I'll not post next week to hopefully give you time to listen/watch. It's very different from Lone Wolf World. 

I hope you enjoy it.  It's all quite personal and a bit embarrassing to put it out there like this. Please let me know what you think. Especially the end.

Here is a music video from the footage shot that day. It's from an excellent song from Middle Kids,  an Australian band. Watching the video prior won't spoil the story. (The image you can see right there is the exact location where the climax occurs).

I hope you enjoy it.

Mixed Beginnings - Lovers + Australia's Fire Hell

We've made it through for another year. A bad start for us in Australia. My sister and her family was caught up in the horrific NSW/Victoria Bushfires and was cut off with no power or communication for 5 days, so was a terrifying time for all. She finally made it out after roads were opened.

I wrote a poem in the early hours of the 3rd of Jan. See below.
This post was scheduled so let's start with it. The fire poem is at the bottom. Plus Special Offer.

Land crossed Lovers

I had a satire scheduled for the first post, but I thought I'd start with something simpler and nicer. We can all relate to youthful romances.

Searing / Sparing

A sky bleeding

Like a punishment

Sewn in debt

Guilty for all

A verdict

Before the case is heard.

Hell hath no Fury

Than indiscriminate flames

Delivering

Searing

Spewing

And sparing

Without reason.

Intervention

Carrying its own

Unbalanced fortune.

No safety, no solace

For anyone abound

A little planning

A lot of hope

Open to no-one

But fate's indiscriminate

Claw.

Deliver them

Somehow

Sound.

As Hope

Exists

Beyond this

Beyond certainty

And just as unreliable.
