Expectations


fantasizing about the future helps me get through the mediocrity and disappointments in real life. i can't decide if i'm giving myself false hope. imagination is a powerful thing

Inspiration

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

They weren't there


wait for me we'll fly the wind

Trouble Sleeping

I would like to watch you sleeping,
which may not happen.
I would like to watch you,
sleeping. I would like to sleep
with you, to enter
your sleep as its smooth dark wave
slides over my head

and walk with you through that lucent
wavering forest of bluegreen leaves
with its watery sun & three moons
towards the cave where you must descend,
towards your worst fear

I would like to give you the silver
branch, the small white flower, the one
word that will protect you
from the grief at the center
of your dream, from the grief
at the center. I would like to follow
you up the long stairway
again & become
the boat that would row you back
carefully, a flame
in two cupped hands
to where your body lies
beside me, and you enter
it as easily as breathing in

I would like to be the air
that inhabits you for a moment
only. I would like to be that unnoticed
& that necessary.

-Margaret Atwood

Music Transportation

My two favorite songs in film. Ever.





Divine






Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

New Romantic

"Faithfulness! I must analyze it someday. The passion for property is in it. There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up." -The Picture of Dorian Gray
