A POEM INSPIRED BY THE ACTOR RORY COCHRANE


Face round like the moon
Features dark as the night
He walks proud and bright
In skin soft and white
And I always long to see him soon.

His mysterious oriental flair
His lustrous pitch black hair
Hold the promise of an exotic story
In some mystical territory
That is how I see Rory
A treasure truly rare.

Even the magic deep sound of his voice
Invites you to dream the day away
And is enough to make you rejoice.

There's so much more to say
Than words can convey
I think I'll lay my pen to rest
Keep my poem in a chest
Knowing he's really the best.


CSI: Miami was actually my least favourite of the CSI franchise, but paradoxically, it had my favourite character.
Not from the beginning, though. At first, I actually felt Speed was unfriendly and didn't really like him, but his sarcastic sense of humour kept growing on me.
Rory Cochrane being so attractive didn't hurt... Nor his brilliance as an actor. I really like the understated intensity of his style of acting. He's definitely on my Top Actors (along with Harrison Ford, Jennifer Lawrence, Edward Norton... Not necessarily in that order, or any other for that matter). And he does have one of the traits that I find most attractive in a man: his deep deep voice.

I will start with the only poem that is about the actor (all the others are about the character).
It's inspired by the very attractive result of Rory's mixed origins.

This page contains a series of poems I wrote some time ago, inspired by CSI: Miami 's character "Tim Speedle" (aka "Speed"), and Rory Cochrane - the actor who played him. I first posted them on a CBS forum thread for the show (by the way, thanks to all the fellow fans who were so kind in their comments), but I can't seem to find it anymore and it's probable it has been removed. I also posted them on my main blog, but since the theme is so specific and it's highly unlikely I will be writing any more of them, I kind of felt they deserved a little space of their own. Please enjoy.

A GOODBYE POEM FOR SPEED

Image
The moment you came along You cast a spell on me And from that moment on I could not get my eyes off the TV I liked to see your often sullen face Whenever you were working on some trace And your ironic, sarcastic ways Used to brighten my days Until one day you exhaled your last breath In the arms of a friend you met your violent death A bullet knocked you to the floor And suddenly you were no more Helplessly I watched you bleed And just like that I lost my Speed Now I am forced to say goodbye To my favourite CSI And because of that fatal uncleaned gun I'm like the Earth without her Sun And for all my pain and grief There is only one relief Even if never again will I be able to see Tim Nothing can take away my memories of him This was the first one I wrote inspired by Speed's death, in episode "Lost Son".

CELEBRATING SPEED'S LIFE

When I first saw you working a crime scene Your quick sarcasm made me think you mean But I soon realized it was part of your charming wit And if the moment required it, you could also be sweet. And when you helped save people from a fire In that club where things went suddenly haywire I learned you could also be brave... Even if you couldn’t always behave! Thus my favourite you became Even before I had caught your name. And even the slightest trait, Like that easy relaxed gait That made you look so sexy when you walked, Or the way you breathed in while you talked, Or the way only your lower lip moved when you spoke And the fact that you never laughed when telling a joke, Or the way you used to repeatedly blink your eyes Made you somehow deeply special among all the CSIs. The way you used to squint When looking at some print, And those dark long eyelashes That dazzled me more than your camera flashes, Or the fact that you always kept so serious Made you look so ...
