thank you

i thank you for most this amazing day: 

for the leaping greenly spirits of trees

and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything

which is natural which is infinite which is yes

there will come a time....

there will come a time, a day, a moment when words 
are not enough. when the letters hooking to other 
letters and tying themselves to each other, 
the trains of vowels and consonants chasing each other 

out of my mouth just won’t do justice to the avalanche

that you’re struggling through.
 if this is…

distance

you have to find the right distance between people. 

too close, and they overwhelm you, too far and they abandon you.

pulp lamps

pulplamp is a lamps collection by enrique romero de la llana made using as only material the paper paste from recycled newspapers, giving them this way a second life.  each creation will have a new shape, colour and texture. all the shapes are made with inflatable moulds, what gives the possibility of deforming them. 

each piece is a unique piece.

oh god it’s wonderful

to get out of bed

and drink too much coffee

and smoke too many cigarettes

and love you so much

throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.

replant

there is something

we all forget

that only time

and the perfect

magnification

of hindsight

can replant in our

memories:

we are all

so much

stronger than

the things

we have

endured.

we must never

give up.

.

hearts

hearts united in pain and sorrow 

will not be separated by joy and happiness. 

bonds that are woven in sadness 

are stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure.

love that is washed by tears 

will remain eternally pure and faithful.

through the fog of sleep....

through the fog of sleep

i hear you softly humming

and it calms my soul.

i used to think i was the strangest person in the world but then i thought, 

there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like 

me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways i do. 

i would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. 

well, i hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, 

yes, it’s true i’m here, and i’m just as strange as you.

partly cloudy

i love

when i

sit alone

in a room

and the light

explodes

as it often does

when the sun 

stops its hiding behind

the cloud.

perhaps

it’s not 

the dark

that grows quieter

but some lightness

in me

growing louder?

his feeling has me floating, 
soaring high above

the clouds and the stars

gliding, flying through the sky

these wings take me right to you

pearls...

the white pearls

fallen on my sleeves with heart still full

we parted

i take them with me

as a memory of you

i still remember seeing the pont neuf in paris all wrapped up...

that was such a wonderful time...

that was such a wonderful time, even in its strangeness and sadness- and life isn’t the same now.

 it’s wonderful, but it isn’t the same.

earth delights...

forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet,
 and the winds long to play with your hair.
