29: how to fight loneliness

selfportrait, may 2011

 

How to fight loneliness
Smile all the time
Shine your teeth to meaningless
And sharpen them with lies

And whatever is going down
Will you follow around
That's how you fight loneliness

You laugh at every joke
Drag your blanket blindly
Fill your heart with smoke

And the first thing that you want
Will be the last thing you'll ever need
That's how you fight it.

Just smile all the time.

28: a touch of nature

27: where the wild roses grow

                         On the second day he came with a single rose
                      Said: 'Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?'
                              I nodded my head, as I layed on the bed
                         He said, 'If I show you the roses will you follow?'

26: inspiration

         quotes: 

Dracula, Bram Stoker

Let the Great World Spin, Colum McCann

East of Eden, John Steinbeck

25: I think I need a new town

I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesterdays are burried deep—leave it anyway except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can.

West with the Night, Beryl Markham

24: time to love

What is love? There is nothing in the world, neither man nor Devil nor any thing, that I hold as suspect as love, for it penetrates the soul more than any other thing. Nothing exists that so fills and binds the heart as love does. Therefore, unless you have those weapons that subdue it, the soul plunges through love into an immense abyss.

The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco

23: requiem

22: werewolf

In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fight.

21: Insomnia

20: I don't have to stay this way

This time, next year, I won't be this girl anymore. I create my existence through change.
