happiness is back in style

i fall apart when you're around
When you're here, I'm nowhere
I can't pretend that I'm not down
I show it I know it
I've been a fool - more than once, more than twice
I'm gonna move to a new town where the people are nice

I hope I never, I hope I never have to sigh again
I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again
I still want to beam and smile
Happiness is back in style
I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again
Again

It should be possible I know
To see you without stress
But I can see I'll have to go
I'm changing my address
My urge to cry I have failed to conceal
Life - it's no fun when your hunted by the things that you feel

I hope I never, I hope I never have to sigh again
I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again
I'm for living while you can
I'm an optimistic man
I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again

...this is my heart. it is a good heart


sitting here watching lightening flash repeatedly and thinking about everyone i miss because i don't seem worth sticking around for, makes me wonder how yesterday the world seemed like my oyster. 11.11 has well passed me by and the first star came out hours ago so before i drift off to sleep i have nothing to wish on as i usually do. I should have learned long ago that "wishing only wounds the heart" but still it seems it's the only thing that keeps me sane. some people may think that my heart feels too strongly but in the end this is my heart and it is a good heart. And even though wishing gets me nowhere, i still wish on stars and chips and fallen eyelashes. and even though my world doesn't seem so colourful i still try and see beauty even if it's not pretty everyday.
oneday i'll make a fairy tale. xx




colour

Colour my life Beautiful.


Dear world.
if you were a person you'd be one of the one's that often puts me in moods that others would prefer not to face. I can occasionally see your beauty when for me you're in black and white but i can just imagine how lovely you'd be in vibrant colour. All i can see is other people's rainbow lives. Always full of suns and always full of love. show me that you can be that hypothetical person for me. A knight in shining amour wouldn't go astray either.
Sincerely yours, E xx

on being profound

i decided that i lacked 'profanity' and went on a long search traversing sandy deserts and howling seas only to discover that the word profanity meant blasphemous rather than enlightened. someone wise then told me that to be profound is not to have 'profanity' but rather to have 'profoundness' or 'profoundity' and i walked home scratching my head feeling less enlightened than when i began.

wellies and weddings

as they dodge rain drops
with white umbrellas
the child inside her
can't help but smile and splash in puddles

All we can do is keep breathing


I want to change the world, instead i sleep
I want to believe in more than you and me

But all that i know is i'm breathing
All i can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing now



...

oisive jeunesse à tout asservie, Par délicatesse j'ai perdu ma vie


idle youth
enslaved by everything,
by being too sensitive
i have wasted my life


The person you love is 72.8% water

the umbrella blew inside out
her boots are discarded
in a puddle on the ground
and the feeling in her toes
is fading as the cold
seeps right through to her bones
and she's walking all alone

frozen on a swing
her fingers are firmly
wrapped around the chains
and she's swinging with the breeze
as the drenching rain and cold
seeps right through to her bones
and she's playing all alone

bed sheets tossed away
her body is tightly
curled into itself
and she's trying not to freeze
as the howling of the wind
seeps right through to her bones
and she's sleeping all alone


everyone uses buckets
these days
if only i could catch all my tears
i'd save the world

are people born wicked>? or do they have wickeness thrust upon them?

change minds, break hearts, feed the hungry, dance the dance of a thousand nightingales and find love in the reflection of a shallow pond
