Still as untouched water,
Yet waiting to be rippled;
Hoping not to falter
But is mildly crippled.

As she watches the waves
Rushing to shore,
The background greys
And forgotten lands swim ashore.

A shimmer of stardust
With a ray of golden sun,
A mixture stirred
And made to stun.

A burst of clouds
Brings glittering rain,
"Forever," it vowed
"Throw away your care."

Just as echoing words
Were spoken in red,
With a hazy swirl
She's out of her head.

numbness to pain does not make it
non existent
floating imaginations do not make them
unreal
(h)arsh reality does not make it
fiction
big dreams do not me(a)n they're
unattainable
high **(p)es do not mean you're
delusional
sadness does not mean
depress(i)on
happi(n)ess doesn't have to mean you're

wanting more do(e)sn't make you

all you need,
to be happy
is positivity

James Joyce
Strings in the earth and air
Make music sweet;
Strings by the river where
The willows meet.

There's music along the river
For Love wanders there,
Pale flowers on his mantle,
Dark leaves on his hair.

All softly playing,
With head to the music bent,
And fingers straying
Upon an instrument.
Your beauty radiates like a flower in the moonlight
For to me that is the loveliest atmosphere
And you are the loveliest vista
Be my midnight flower
Let us count the years

— The End —
