Europe Is Lost (video) - Kate Tempest

A Love Story 

"People meet by chance, fall in love, drift apart again" - Kate Tempest, 2016

I

When I first laid eyes on you, everything in the room stood still. In a sea of hazy faces yours was the only one that demanded my attention. Sipping my vodka and cranberry as you approached, you flashed me that smile, that fucking smile. And I was in Arcadia. In this bar, with my glass, next to you.

II

You were what I thought love looked like. Love looked like the boy with black hair and dark skin and eyes that reminded me of rain. Love looked like your toothy grin, and the way you tucked your knees under your chin, and how you held your steering wheel almost as tightly as you held my hand. I was drawn to your lips like a honey bee to a flower, and never has my name sounded sweeter from anyone else's lips.

 III Grabbing me by the cuff of my shirt, you pulled me into you. My spine curved around the steering wheel as I sat, with my thighs either side of yours. Heat rose from our skin, Our love was not luke-warm.    It was a fire. We used our fire as warmth as the rain struck the wind screen outside. A hand print on a steamy window like artists, we signed our masterpiece. - Kissing in cars

IV

It wasn't your fault, and nor was it mine. Death is not kind, it's a universal truth. You didn't mean to push me away. And as much as I wish I could hold your hand, you wanted to mend your own broken heart. But, while you were mending yours, you broke mine.    Am I Selfish? - yes - I understand - fuck - it hurts - I'm sorry. It wasn't your fault.

 V

Two months have passed, two months of trying to cry you back.    You told me that you were not ready for me but you were not ready for me to be with anyone else. I allowed myself to be intoxicated by your words. You still needed me. He still needed me. You told me, that even though we were no longer together, we were still the beautiful couple with the odd names. For people who moved around so much we couldn't move on. - Move back to me.

 VI

It was summer    when you left me, and since then I haven't been able to warm up. You left, leaving the door half open. Some days, the crack allows a ray of sunshine, others, the draft leaves me frozen and raw on the floor. I desperately missed the lips of the boy who    never really meant the words he said. Do you still love me? I asked. Your lips inches from mine,    your whiskey words tickling my cheek. Not anymore. VII Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, a little bit more depression, and then acceptance. I have finally realised that what we had, however brief and however painful, was beautiful. It wasn't the bullshit definition of perfect. But we loved each other. I am stronger now, and I will not allow you to crumble the foundations of myself that I spent so long building. I know that you never really appreciated how I would sing along to anything on the radio, despite not knowing words; or how I snort when I laugh, and I laugh often; or how I would always wear the colour yellow. We would speak of travelling the world together, but I would rather travel the world by my goddamn self than loose who I am for someone who doesn't yet    understand himself. - The 5.5 stages of grief.

 VIII

Today I saw you, and I felt nothing. You no longer look like love, but a regular boy with black hair and dark skin. There is something freeing about finally realising that you weren't the best thing to have happened. - The best is yet to come.

Fin.  ~

Song by @katetempest - I have listened to her music and spoken word poetry during many a painting. A divided Europe was responsible for the last two World Wars, division, nationalism and isolation should be a thing of the past. UNITY, COLLABORATION & EQUALITY is the future and it is what the majority of us want. History repeats, we need to be on the right side of history & we need to break the cycle - EVOLVE. #katetempest #painting #firsttiktok #tiktok #humancondition #europe #brexit #painting (at Penang Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCcgwcypKrS/?igshid=obacrlvxg651

Kate Tempest - Sollen sie doch Chaos fressen

Hab versucht es zu verändern, doch es ist ein Fakt, wenn du mich gut behandelst, weise ich dich ab. Hab versucht es zu bekämpfen, doch ich zweifle nicht, wenn du mich mies behandelst, fühl ich mehr für dich.

Kate Tempest at La [2] de Apolo: the new sound system and redesigned space, a fully connected crowd, and a heartfelt love for Barcelona from the artist all came together to make this a very special evening. Starting with tracks from her previous two albums before performing 'The Book of Traps and Lessons' in full, Tempest's voice was accompanied by a dub-heavy, unembellished soundtrack, and at times it was more spoken word performance than concert. There's something of a 21st century music hall vibe to what she does, but before the closing song, 'People's Faces', she moved away from the stage while her musical partner unleashed a burst of electronic acid hail; sometimes even words have to step aside.

"So where is the good heart to go but inwards?" What words too and I was back in London with its dirty grey light and rusty concrete, but then again: place, origin, age, gender and orientation are irrelevant for Kate Tempest. Pain is universal but solitary at one and the same time, and her voice seemed to lay the world bare. Standing in a corner at the back of the venue, but with a view across the sold-out crowd, I could feel the energy flowing through the room, while her introduction about the pressures of life getting in the way of what you really want to do felt like a personal dedication. With the adrenalin flowing, sleep was impossible until way into the night.

Hello!

See that poser right there? Yep, that's me, Tanith Leigh. I would like to make my first post a swift introduction of myself, and why I'm here. I'm a 23 year old, zoo assistant and Literature graduate, who loves all things books. Reading them, writing them, sniffing them, you name it. I'm an aspiring poet, but I am very new to the game, a noob if you will. I'm yet to truly find my own voice, and take a lot of my inspiration from poets such as Rupi Kaur, Shane Koyczan, Kate Tempest, and Phil Kaye, for example. Any critiques anyone may have, please feel free to let me know because I want nothing more than to improve in my writing. I may also use this as a platform to post some flash fiction (which is something I have been dabbling with recently), some diary entries (for when I'm very excited about something, or very pissed off about something else), and maybe some books reviews. I'm really excited to get started!!

Thank you for listening to my babbling,
