Years pass,
the wallpaper is turning yellow,
as I sit and stir my coffee,
It's black the way you've always made it,
Like char.
Effervescent as always,
you putter around in your apron,
only the wrinkles around your eyes
could persuade me that I've been away for so long.
Somehow I'd forgotten your kind smile,
taken for granted your warm nature,
I could just about cry thinking of all the time I spent
Out in a loud and buzzing world
full of callousness and iniquity.
The cat clock tics away,
the pie in the oven is turning golden brown,
as I sit and eye the reflection in my coffee warily.
Even in the murky, shiny blackness
I can s
It is cold and beautiful outside.
The shadows and the hues are dream-like and their sinister undertones are softened by the haziness of a sky brushed only with the slightest sign of sunrise.
The glow of streetlights is all at once strange and fitting.
A quiet testament to the presence of civilization in an otherwise rugged landscape.
It is in the silent waking of the world that my thoughts can come to fruition.
At all other times my head is jumbled, my words scrambled, my mood hectic.
With the mind pushed past the state of sleepiness, it emerges on the other side of consciousness.
The side that is calm and serene.
With no want of rush
A soft moan...
a child sobs
deep in the stalks of the garden,
A vision of blurry memories
like over-exposed photographs,
In the corners of my eyes
I can see your arms around me,
feel the earth shaking,
or is it me that's shaking,
in the sturdy braces of your grasp?
wet and salty,
red eyes stinging,
drowning my eye sockets
...it's me that's crying.
Look in the mirror,
a skeletal reflection,
a ghostly complexion,
Went down to the doctor's,
said I need a new direction,
a miracle, a resurrection
"are you gonna let yourself whither away?"
and all I want is to punch that sucker in the face
Because, by god, I am alive today.
And no amount of threatening, cajoling, or regretting can change the fact that
I'm alive today,
Between what I have and what I owe,
on god's green earth I do not know
ever the direction the wind will blow,
I've been circling this mountain,
going miles around just to see if
there's a pathway leading up,
And I've been swimming like a salmon,
struggling ups

It's christmas. Just getting that thought out of the way. New Year's almost here. New Years brings new things in the new year. Things like studies. Things like work. Things like love. Things like drastic changes.
I am giving serious thought to just making a photoblog, as I just have too many photos I want to put up. I'd put up a photo a day if I could, but DA isn't that kind of site. I like DA, though. I like the format. Very simple, effective. Welcoming, familiar. I hate blog formatting. That's a big one on the "con" list.
I've cycled out of photography and into writing. (My artistic endeavors always go in these large and annoying cycles,
It's been quite a while hasn't it? I've been terribly busy. It would be typical of me to say how I have been meaning to spend more time on here. Look at other people's work, even the works of my friends. It's odd though. To be honest I am terrible at online places. I do appreciate the feedback, the response, but it doesn't ever feel like it's coming from a real person. You see, I'm extremely sensitive to physical energy. I can feel who's beside me with my eyes closed, I can sense spiders in the corners without seeing them. I know it's silly, but my point is, when I don't feel another person, they might as well not be there. And that's why I'm
It's frustrating to see my previous journal entry and have to say now how it's all gone downhill. It's a low feeling. Let's just say the progress it's taken me a month to make has been eradicated in just one week. It would be frightening if I weren't so apathetic about everything. I guess numb is a more accurate qualifier, though. I won't dwell on it here. This is supposed to be my release.
My new camera is pretty fun. So easy to use too. I developed photos from a span of over three years. The improvement is amazingly...obvious. Ha. It's good though. That I'm improving. I'm doing so mostly on an intuitive level. It's not like I have classes
I actually have some old sketches of these "carrot people". They are people with carrots for heads, just doing normal every day things. I never posted them because I thought people would question my sanity... Funny, as what other people think is usually the last thing on my mind :/
ahh totes post them!!! i always question your sanity! but i would love to see them!!!! plz? *turns to puppy form and begs for you* or draw on some actual carrots and photograph and post those!!!!:L zomg
