After a Year

Surreal seems the right word,

After a year without your words..

One asked, "Is it real?"

But no.., no one dared to answer..

After a year,

and keep getting stronger..

One asked, "Why?"

But no.., no one could reply..

In the day after a year,

More flowers and tears flooding your crypt...

Still hoping on a washed-out dream,

Perhaps.. tomorrow, we'll wake up without tears

Thank You Michael

Thank You, Michael.....

"Thanks to You" by Tyler Collings

Thank you for teaching me how to love

Showing me what the world means

What I've been dreamin' of

And now I know, there is nothing that I could not do

Thanks to You

For teaching me how to feel

Showing me my emotions

Letting me know what's real

From what is not

What I've got is more that I'd ever hoped for

And a lot of what I hope for is

Thanks to you

No mountain, no valley

No time, no space

No heartache, no heartbreak

No fall from grace

Can't stop me from believing

That my love will pull me through

Thanks to You

Thanks to You

For teaching me how to live

Putting things in perspective

Teaching me how to give

And how to take

No mistake

We were put here together

And if I breakdown

Forgive me but it's true

That I'm aching with the love I feel inside

Thanks to You

Thanks to you

You make me sooo happy

You make me sooo Happy

I can feel your energy through the walls.

the sky is the limit

Higher contiousness always.

Working hard, as always,

Music, film, performance

I love you

Michael Jackson

Michael Letter to William Pecchi Jr

Pecky,

I very seldom write letters. But in this moving occasion I couldn’t help myself.

I want to thank you for putting the effort forward to capture the magic and excitement of the people of the world. What you do is a very personal and powerful medium to me. It is the art of stopping time, to preserve a moment that the naked eye cannot hold, to capture truth, spontaneous truth, the depths of excitement in human spirit. All else will be forgotten but not the films.

Generations from now will experience the excitement you’ve captured. It truly is a time capsule. I will not be totally satisfied until I know you’re at the right angle at the right time, to capture a crescendo of emotion that happens so quickly, so spontaneously. What you have done was good, but I want the best, the whole picture, cause and effect. I want crowd reaction, wide lens shots, depths of emotion, timing. I know we can do it.

It is my dream and goal to capture truth. We should dedicate ourselves to this. The person who makes a success of living, is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication. There is no other way to perfection than dedication perseverance. Just tell us what you need to make it happen. Take the leadership to direct the other camera men. I enjoy working with you that is why I asked you to come, you have a gentle spirit that’s very likable.

Maybe I look at the world through rose colored glasses but I love people all over the world. That is why stories of racism really disturb me. You hurt my heart and soul when you told me of your boyhood in Texas. Because in truth I believe ALL men are created equal, I was taught that and will always believe it. I just can’t conceive of how a person could hate another because of skin color. I love every race on the planet earth. Prejudice is the child of ignorance. Naked we come into the world and naked we shall go out. And a very good thing too, for it reminds me that I am naked under my shirt, whatever its color.

I’m sorry to bring up such past issues, but in the car I was hurt by what you said. I’m so happy though that you managed to overcome your childhood past. Thank God that you’ve graduated from such beliefs of ignorance. I’m glad I’ve never experienced such things. Teach your kids to love all people equally. I know you will.

I speak from my heart saying I love you and all people especially the children. I’m glad God chose me and you.

Love M.J.

About this letter and Pecky >> from Seven's blog

MICHAEL JACKSON HANDWRITTEN LETTER REGARDING “MOONWALKER”

Three-page handwritten letter from Michael Jackson to William Pecchi Jr., written on Capitol Tokyu Hotel stationary c. 1988. The letter is affectionately addressed to “Pecky.” Pecchi was a camera operator on Jackson’s film Moonwalker (Ultimate Productions, 1988). After Moonwalker, Pecchi was asked to travel abroad with Jackson during the Bad tour. Pecchi rode to and from venues to capture the crowd’s reaction to Jackson. It was during these rides that Pecchi and Jackson talked at length and one such conversation in Tokyo provoked this correspondence. The letter discusses Michael’s goals for the film, encouragement to Pecchi, reactions to conversations about racism and Jackson’s vision of the world.

Summer has took over my wonderful windy season

To be honest,

It's not about death..

Because I realize,

all those exists in this world shall come to an end

But losing an Angel in this world,

wasn't something I expected

and almost one year ago,

was your time to went home,

I realized that..

What I didn't know was..

How I shocked for your leavings

and the fact that gone the way of nature,

can really break one's happiness

In a blink of an eye,

that emotions broke my heart half to death

and my body felt so empty, light and airily, that it could fly away with the wind blows..

...Summer has took over my wonderful windy season...

On my first teardrop,

I'm sending a long goodbye message

for the joy and happiness you brought to my life

I'm not try to complaining,

Though it seems your time was too short for us on Earth

They said you've been a great music icon, and we've been a loyal fans

But what they didn't knew is,

It was you that made us greater and more loyal

You taught us love, the meaning of love,

and the power of love...

And how come we couldn't not love you!

So long, my love..

You were from Him, not you went home to see Him..

You were always there since I was born,

And for almost one year, I'm still learning how to live without your existence..

Good bye, my love..

my soul of comfort,

my heart of peace,

my warrior of life,

my beautiful angel...

What a Friendship means...

"I've known Elizabeth closely since which was 16."

Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor at the races in California in 1986

"Oh, she's very loyal, I see Elizabeth Taylor all the time. She's my dear friend,"

"I've met a lot people in my life..and very few are real real real friends. You could probably count 'em in one hand... Elizabeth is one of the most loyal, loving, caring people that I know."

"Remember the time when I was alone

You stood by my side and said: "Let's be strong"

You did all these things.. That only a true friend can do.."

"Elizabeth Taylor is gorgeous, beautiful, and she still is today, I’m crazy about her."

"Well, I've stopped being such a recluse now. My friend Elizabeth Taylor has got me out. Every Thursday we go to the movies together. She is Godmother to my son Prince and we get on so well. I said I could get Warner Brothers to put aside a studio just for us every week to watch films in private, but she forces me out. She's the only person who can get me out in public. We walk in, sit down, watch our film and walk out. And every time we leave the audience all stand up and applaud us. It's funny."

~ Michael Jackson ~

On Prime Time Interview, 1995

Sawyer: OK, we're gonna take a break now. When we come back, Elizabeth Taylor . . . talked to us a little bit about what she saw when she went over and talked to you, in the middle of this and helped you get treatment for addiction to painkillers.

Michael : Oh, wow....Elizabeth is on the show!

Sawyer: When we come back.

[after commercial break]

Sawyer: As we said, Elizabeth Taylor is going to talk a little bit about when she came to see you in the middle of this, what she called agony. And one of the things she was so..., I think she was so angry about with us, was that she said people always talk about one side of a person, they never give them credit for their accomplishments

Michael: That's right.

[[=>> And that's what I called A TRULLY FRIEND! <<=]] :)

1999, TV Guide Magazine Interview

TVG: Who are your closest friends?

Michael: Elizabeth. We go to the movies every Thursday.

TVG: You go to a regular movie theatre?

Michael: I want to go to the Warner Bros studio and she refuses. She says "No, I'm getting you out." So we go right into this area - which I can't say - and walk right in. And it's usually empty, because most people are working at the time. The theatre employees go "Wow, come on in" and we never really pay. And we're the ones that can afford it. [Laughs]

2001

2001,

>Q: Critics refer to you as the self-proclaimed King of Pop. Did you choose that title?

Michael: I never self-proclaimed myself to be anything. If I called up Elizabeth Taylor right now, she would tell you that she coined the phrase. She was introducing me, I think at the American Music Awards, and said in her own words — it wasn't in the script — "I'm a personal fan, and in my opinion he is the king of pop, rock and soul." Then the press started saying "King of Pop" and the fans started. This self-proclaimed garbage, I don't know who said that.

>Michael: Elizabeth has this little girl inside of her who never had a childhood. She was on the set every day. She loves playing with a new gadget or toy, and she's totally awe-inspired by it. She's a wonderful human being

Elizabeth Taylor: A Special Bond (from

Shmuley's tapes - Fan Version)

Michael Jackson: Elizabeth Taylor is very childlike. There's nothing that you can do when she'll say, "I don't want to do that." When Bug's Life came out, she bugged me over and over to fix my schedule so we could see the cartoon. So we had to go to a public theater at about 1:00 o'clock. She makes me go out every Thursday because she says I'm too reclusive. Everybody's at work, so there's no one there and we never pay... we come with nothing and they always say, "Oh, my God, Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson." We get free popcorn, everything. She loved Bug's Life and loves Neverland. She'll go on the carousel and the Ferris wheel, but not the scary rides.

There are other childlike qualities of Elizabeth Taylor. She was in Jane Eyre around eight or nine. Our fathers were very much alike, tough, hard, brutal. She's playful and youthful and happy and finds a way to laugh and giggle even when she's in pain. She's ready to play any game, go swimming. She's very good with children. She loves toys and cartoons. I get to learn so much from her. She'll tell me about James Dean and Clark Gable and Spencer Tracey and Montgomery Clift, because she did movies with all these people. She tells me what they were really like, the ones who were nice people and the ones that weren't.

We were in Singapore—she came on most of the Dangerous tour with me—and we decided we wanted to go to the z(X). And we hung out and had our own private tour and we had fun. She's Prince and Paris's godmother and Macaulay's their godfather. She's just retained that little girl quality. That little child you see in Jane Eyre and Lassie Come Home, that's still in there. It's in her eyes. She has this glow like a child. It's so sweet. But Shirley [Temple Black], too. She says, "You get it, don't you. You're one of us."

[Elizabeth Taylor and I] we're like brother and sister, mother and son, lovers... it's a potpourri... it's something special. We go through this whining thing on the phone... "I need you..." "Oh, I need you, too." We can talk about anything. She's been my most loyal friend. She says she adores me and would do anything for me. She says Hollywood has to write a movie for the two of us. We just have to do something together.

Shmuley Boteach: Do you get jealous when she dates other men? She got married in your backyard.

Michael Jackson: Do I get jealous? Yes and no. I know that if we ever did anything romantically, the press would be so mean and nasty and call us "The Odd Couple." It would turn into a circus and that's the pain of it all. You know, I push her in a wheelchair sometimes, when she can't walk. It's none of their business what we have together. I have to be with people like me. Some rappers will say to me, "Let's hang out. Let's go down to a club." And I'll say, "What? Let's hang? I don't think so." That kind of tiling's not a party for me.

On that tour [Dangerous], she fed me because I wouldn't eat. When I get upset, I stop eating, sometimes until I'm unconscious. She took the spoon and opened my mouth and made me eat. She said she wouldn't let me go without her, and her doctors advised her not to go. She went to Thailand and followed the tour all the way to London.

And.. another article you SHOULD read, about Michael and Elizabeth.. and here's a excerpt-teaser that will make you want to read it.. [lol]

"So you're Wendy and Michael is Peter?" I had asked Elizabeth Taylor afterwards.

"Yeah. Yeah. There's a kind of magic between us." =>

Read here

“My heart … my mind … are broken. I loved Michael with all my soul and I can’t imagine life without him. We had so much in common and we had such loving fun together. I was packing up my clothes to go to London for his opening when I heard the news. I still can’t believe it. I don’t want to believe it. It can’t be so. He will live in my heart forever but it’s not enough. My life feels so empty. I don’t think anyone knew how much we loved each other. The purest most giving love I’ve ever known. Oh God! I’m going to miss him. I can’t yet imagine life without him. But I guess with God’s help … I’ll learn. I keep looking at the photo he gave me of himself, which says, ‘To my true love Elizabeth, I love you forever.’ And, I will love HIM forever.” ~ Elizabeth Taylor ~
