black

The fog on the hills, the silhouettes in the distance, all so clairvoyant yet transient.

Why are you turning to a ghost? I can see through you, see your heart. It’s so black and dead.

I pray that I still have my opaqueness, for I could handle no report on how my heart looks.

Speaking to the Wind

The wind cascaded in my ear and whispered secrets to me. Its a rite of passage, a gauntlet. Speaking to the Wind is a gift, one welcomed within my life. The brisk and chill air on my shoulders, my lips chapped, and my heart pumping blood fast.

Dreams, dust, destitute. These are the words and the thoughts of the wind, harnessed only by translation.

Ventures

There was a beautiful wind in the world today; cold, brisk, and filled with the skeletons of dead leaves. I remember these days all too clearly; a dark remnants of a season long overdue. The nights are dark, the toilet seat is cold, and my bed lie dormant as my cold body lay in the mountain of blankets. The layers are so thick and my resolve clear.

My month that will be spent entirely at home is drawing nearer, and I have been finding myself searching desperately for projects that will allow my mind to wander into a creative realm. They are merely distractions, for those are the memories that keep me going. That is the fuel that makes me successful.

I shall write

I shall write things no one except myself can understand. Things that are elusive and escape the reader. The dots are only for me to connect — no one else.

These are the hopes and wishes of a dying flower. To rot in a field of beautiful green and dream of those blue skied days. The butterflies passed the flower over, forever searching for that sweet nectar of a distant rose.

Thorns and weeds about; there is a dark mood in this patch of land. For it is tainted and unable to be remended into that once beautiful garden.

These are the hopes and wishes of a dying flower. To plea to the grasses and shrubs around it to grant it shade from the cruel sun. Even that heavenly gaze is enough to burn its skin. Brown, powdery, dead.

Nothing is left, except a beetle’s haven…

The Beggars That Never Were

In continuation with an ongoing theme that has been ringing behind my eyes for a few months, I would like to point out a few things. Actually, they are more observations than anything.

It is incoherent for on individual to assert the perfect love match, backing it up with ongoing quotes and anecdotes from the internet and/or the media infused bull shit everyone is fed. I want to smack everyone who has this beautiful picture of love that was created from observation outside of their experiences.

Let us fall back and collect these moments that are treasured on high. For example, do not assume you are a catch worth catching. Do not believe you have someone perfect for you on this earth. You may have one, but chances are, they are deceitful and not who they wish to be seen as.

It is the cruel way of the world. Get over the emotions and toughen up. Become a might fortress non can penetrate.

weekend drudges

The weekend was hot and full of reunions. It was calming to get back to a time when things were a little bit simpler. Too bad those times can never truly be achieved again. Times with the family are rought right now. I guess it has become time for me to slip into the background for a few months.

The days are getting hoter.
