Snake Eyes by Linda Colletta 




Snake Eyes by Linda Colletta 

Give me wings to leave this place. 

Give me wings to escape the confines and fly to the unknown lands, towards a new life, towards a new passion.


Give me a sea in which I can dive peacefully,

Our depths come alive when we meet in secret behind the stage curtains. 


I can only see you or be with you when the audience is present between us, witnessing the most important conversation between my eyes and yours. 


And what our lips don't say, they eagerly anticipate, constantly searching and waiting closely for each time our souls meet. It's as if they can only find their purpose through the time we spend together.


I want to find solace from the constant noise in my head,

I want this heart to have a shelter when it gets lost or loses its way.


I want to explore the meaning and existence of it all through wings. 


If I had wings, I might be able to rediscover the meaning of freedom and its importance in the role of a human running aimlessly and tirelessly on this earth. 


I want to uncover the meaning of a soul that can fly without the need for explanations, details, justifications, and escaping the obsession of conspiracy theories and their propagators in one form or another.


I want to have the ability to discover the different moments in time with you, how it would be with or without you, will there be a difference or not?


I want to have a unique story with you, unlike anyone else, not a reality or a dream, I want it to be fantastical like the stories we read so much about in books, novels, and movies.


I want reality with you to be dreamlike,

I want your presence with me and around me to be constant, not just a figment of imagination!


I don't want you to be ordinary, nor extraordinary, but surely I want you to be something exceptional, like music, or an extraordinary poem,


To be abundant like rain, stormy like a hurricane, towering high like an ancient mountain, all of which could be achieved if one of us knew the importance of soaring and searching for ways and possibilities to create wings with high-quality specifications globally. 


Wings that have enough influence and power to change the laws and rules of life, away from the dangers, fears, and pains. 


Wings that rebel, wings that fear not death for the sake of living in moments of true happiness.


Wings for the oppressed women, wings that empower the strength within each female, and enable her to achieve her own destiny and then shared goals with the one who captures her heart with desire and love.


Wings that make every man look at his beloved in a special and exceptional way, that angelic healing gaze that renews hope and writes imaginary destinies that don't resemble our current reality. 


Bright pink wings, dense in color and light. 

Wings that lift you from the depths of sorrow to the peak of love, compassion, and tenderness. 


To the haven that no one has reached until this moment. 


Only with wings can we escape, renew, and live for the sake of winning freedom. 


Absolute freedom that is not false or artificial. 


Freedom that extends through seas, valleys, beaches, oceans, and space. 


Freedom that invites us to soar without turning back or hesitating due to fear, doubt, or anything else that defines or hinders the course of events. 


It's an incredibly cinematic scene, exactly as I imagine it to be in a movie. 


And how beautiful that movie would be if it was real! 


Can you imagine with me such a new and strange type of endless film? 


As long as it resembles us. 

Resembles our hearts. 

Resembles our souls longing for each other but imprisoned behind the bars of earthly boundaries. 


Set me free so I can find you. 

Set me free so I can fly in your sky, 

set me free so you can find yourself again. 

Please, set me free. 

Set me free towards you and back.

Bedor Alobaidi

    You have the most beautiful and good writings in your blog Bedor, and this piece is personal favorite 😍 really a nice way of introducing your audience to the artist and their works by interpreting their works in your words rather than writing a critique piece which often might be hard to understand especially if it was written with high academic standards or using the art terms and advanced level of writing that may not be as beneficial to a lot of people. But, what you are creating and the line of your writings is creative and it could guide us as readers to have an idea about the artwork or just to think of the work in more out of the box kind of approach. Keep up the good work.

The Deadly Theatre

After reading and highlighting the important key  elements  of the “Empty Space” as how it’s referd on the book that was written by the author Peter Brook, I was bale to draw out an idea of what’s the definition of an empty space and  calling  it a bare stage as how it was mentioned in the text.  Then he  splinted  the word into four ways and distinguished what are the four different kinds of theatre. These types of theatre are: Deadly Theatre, a Holy Theatre, a Rough Theatre, and the fourth one was the an Immediate Theatre. In this chapter Peter Brook was to deliver a powerful indictment of deadly  theater  for us. In better words, he was able to identify and explain with such a  detailed  relevant sequence what is deadly theatre in terms of performances that are dull and boring, providing no transcendental experience or immediate encounter with truth and beauty. In his book, Brook has focused on several reasons why deadly  theater  happens and why it persists; and while I

The Rough Theatre

“The Rough theatre is something more experimental”. This means that we already have moved into a different type of theatre that Peter Brook has guided us into it from his book “The Empty Space”. In better words, this is a simpler form of theatre than the ones we studied before such as the deadly thatre and the holly theatre, what makes the rough theatre different than the obvious theatres is that “through the ages it has taken many forms, and there is only one factor that they all have in commonness--- a roughness”.   I would rather call it a vivid, noisy, lively, flexible, and very creative theatre.  You can touch and feel the real meaning of owning the space “The Stage” and being all comfortable with any new, quick changes in terms of plays, directors, and the actors themselves are more free with their expreissions but noticebly they are not limited as how we examined in the first two chapters.  In this type of theatres, you can easily see it’s not a complicated space
