Indelible Cool
Iceman, Batman, Legend - Tribute to Val Kilmer, RIP - 31st December, 1959 - 1st April, 2025
Absolutely crushed
I am at the news
Just an actor, sure
Just another star
but never faded
But, Iceman, Batman
Madmartigan, Doc H
Chris Shiherlis, Jim M
lest we forget Gay Perry
Kiss kiss, bang bang
even in rough times
could steal a scene or
whole time on screen
flawed and human
Val, we'll miss your
presence, elegance
indelible cool
*
Thanks for reading!

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

That's so sad. May his soul rest in peace
A great loss and a lovely tribute to him, Paul.
Loved watching his movies. RIP Great poem
Just a few months younger than me. RIP.
Beautiful tribute to a really remarkable actor and soul. Bravo for this moving piece, Paul!
Man, I just heard he passed. How sad.
Great tribute. I first saw him in Top Secret , a new comer who stole every scene. A brilliant actor.
Well done Paul. Saw the news about Val Kilmer right before I went to bed. Can't believe he was only 65. I know all the girls preferred Tom Cruise in Top Gun, but I thought Ice Man was hot! Ha! Anyway. This was a lovely tribute.
Don't forget Madmartigan!
So sad. He will be thoroughly missed. 🙏🏾
Nice Tribute. May he rest in peace.
This is sad news to hear. He was such a good actor. Would you believe a long time ago if I remember right, he did act in an afterschool show called "One Too Many" it was to teach young teens not to drink and drive I believe.
