reminder to self

From eight kilometers to seven thousand miles,
I keep reminding myself:
"This will only be for a little while."

"He'll be back soon,"
I keep reminding myself,
Throwing wishes at the moon.

"And in just a few more weeks,"
I keep reminding myself;
"I'll get to kiss you again on your cheeks."

"I'd be cuddling with you again in no time,"
I keep reminding myself.
"But for now, I'll only be hugging you in my mind."

Five miles apart now,
Eleven thousand kilometers apart tomorrow.

They tell you to get over it,
Because you understand more.
But you're sick and tired of all of it,
You just can't take it anymore.

But remember, when someone is tired,
They do not necessarily stop.
They find ways to again be inspired,
So don't you give up.

You're already nineteen years through.
And all you need now is a break.
So if you feel like stopping, just remember:
**I'll always believe in you.

For Doodle. To all of us.


Sometimes, we feel like giving up because the people in our lives who should be our inspiration are the same people who drag us down. But I want you to know that no matter how tiring life gets, we should always look on the bright side. Like the fact that when we can move out and be independent, we don't have to always have them around.
And I've made that my motivation to never give up on life. It may sound selfish to others, but they don't know what I go through everyday.
So no matter how selfish it may seem to other people, if it's what will make you feel better and keep you motivated, then keep it in mind.
It will be your anchor.

Victor Hugo
Jeune fille, la grâce emplit tes dix-sept ans.
Ton regard dit : « Matin, » et ton front dit : « Printemps. »
Il semble que ta main porte un lys invisible.
Don Juan te voit passer et murmure : « Impossible ! »
Sois belle. Sois bénie, enfant, dans ta beauté.
La nature s'égaie à toute ta clarté ;
Tu fais une lueur sous les arbres ; la guêpe
Touche ta joue en fleur de son aile de crêpe ;
La mouche à tes yeux vole ainsi qu'à des flambeaux.
Ton souffle est un encens qui monte au ciel. ******
Et les marins d'Hydra, s'ils te voyaient sans voiles,
Te prendraient pour l'Aurore aux cheveux pleins d'étoiles.
Les êtres de l'azur froncent leur pur sourcil
Quand l'homme, spectre obscur du mal et de l'exil,
Ose approcher ton âme, aux rayons fiancée.
Sois belle. Tu te sens par l'ombre caressée,
Un ange vient baiser ton pied quand il est nu,
Et c'est ce qui te fait ton sourire ingénu.

Février 1843.

All in green went my love riding
on a great horse of gold
into the silver dawn.

four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
the merry deer ran before.

Fleeter be they than dappled dreams
the swift sweet deer
the red rare deer.

Horn at hip went my love riding
riding the echo down
into the silver dawn.

four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
the level meadows ran before.

Softer be they than slippered sleep
the lean lithe deer
the fleet flown deer.

Four fleet does at a gold valley
the famished arrows sang before.

Bow at belt went my love riding
riding the mountain down into the silver dawn.

four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
the sheer peaks ran before.

Paler be they than daunting death
the sleek slim deer
the tall tense deer.

Four tall stags at a green mountain
the lucky hunter sang before.

All in green went my love riding
on a great horse of gold
into the silver dawn.

four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
my heart fell dead before.

galaxy of myths
Isn't it funny
That I'm longing for a place
I've never been to?

I feel so empty.
I'm also missing someone
I don't even know.

Thanks afra for introducing me to this lovely word. Love you

when he comes back to apologize
be sure to recognize if it comes from
his mouth or his eyes, my dear.
one is a trick and one is sincere.

a sorry from the mouth
projects blame on your heart
for being too loving,
for playing its part
a sorry from the mouth
will try to mend a reputation
rather than any pain he caused
with his years of manipulation

a sorry from the eyes
is a sorry from the heart,
he says sorry for being so cruel
and not doing his part
a sorry from the eyes
will feel like a kiss
just know you deserve this

when he comes back to apologize
be sure to recognize if it comes from
his mouth or his eyes, my dear.
one is a trick and one is sincere

you are worth an apology for what has been done
rather than what you have felt as a reaction
tell that sucker that you're not looking to mend
don't give him the satisfaction
