just go with the seasons

She viewed the world
through camera lens.
The beautiful
froze in her mind
indelible
unmoving.

He was at once
more pragmatic
more romantic.
Absolute.
But his eyes didn't move
to the things she looked at
things that enchanted
her
for his eyes were too transfixed on
the way her eyes moved
the way her hair came
on her face
slightly.
At once.

Don't listen to Santa too much!

So we sit talking of the Lotus Sutra.
Ain't a beginning.
Or an end to it.

The preface to nothing. The beginning of a big hollowness.
I want to put my finger on it nevertheless.

We take the beating to live through everyday.
And each day - we wait for the big thing to happen.
To arrive.
We wait our entire lives for nothing to happen.
When does it arrive?
When does it really happen? It's all a preparation for..?

But then again. It'd be a big cliche to say that the present is all we have to live for.
We have much more. We have nothing.
On the same continuum of thinking in terms of illusions.

I stopped making sense.
Long ago.

Flipside

There's a reason why
all the love songs
on my playlist
are lying ignored and dusty.
They feel
I don't love them.
Anymore.

god knows I want to break free

It just so happens
love of my life,
the roads I travel
and imagery
and phrases
I come across
greens and wild blues
inherently
become a part of me.

Increasing my love
for me.
Love of my life.

but life still goes on

fabuloso?

Human beings are strange.
Outright weird.

I certainly am.

Or so I'd like to believe.
I have a hundred synonyms for complicated. Just one antonym - simple.
Keep it simple. I don't know how many times I've heard that one.

The reason I keep returning to them. The reason I keep returning to this blog. The reason I miss myself. Just as if I can't return to the one thing that used to give any solace to me.
I regret throwing away the "I heart me" t-shirt now.

Not on loop

This love's all you and I got
to love and be loved
on end absolute
in the other, quite another.

...

This life's all you and I got
our time is short
who knows what the next corner
you turn, bring?

...

This is about lilies and ink
echoing your colours
happily, unhappily
even so.

It cannot wait

This song hasn't been loved by me in ages. Like an old once-upon-a-time loved shirt.
Things that have seen and carry with them the intelligence and foolishness, laughs and thoughts of the numerous days of sunshine. And those which weren't so sunny.
Suddenly you wake up to find that you can't fit into them anymore.

It breaks my heart to throw an old loved shirt out. It breaks my heart further when I wear that shirt for the sake of it. Just a day longer. For old times' sake.
For old times' sake.
But what have we thought in our not-so-sober moments? In our cmon-old-times'-sake moments?

there's no need to complicate
our time is short
this is our fate

Why we love, why we don't. Why we seek, why we recognize. Why we catch each other's eyes and turn away.
But then. Oh tell me why.
A second more than necessary.
And things that you take for granted, and like an idiot it crashes on you - when you're writing completely random things that you didn't even know your head housed.

my breath fogged up the glass
so i drew a new face
and laughed

Yep yep. Open up your mind.. See like me. Open your plans. Free.
After all, it IS your godforsaken right to be loved.

Jaana

Slipping away
and a tipsy moment
when all control is
willingly abandoned.

But then again
haven't I willing
abandoned?
Everything?

I'm in a place
where tugs aren't
strong enough
and roots
not deep enough.
Routine revisits.

And
et cetera.
