transcendence

stargazing your eyes burning bright,
filled with an expression of delight,
you take me in, capture me with a whim,
i'm drowning, i'm falling,
the essence of your being all consuming,
my lungs burning for air, my heart burning for you,
i'm transfixed, i cannot look away,
you reach,
you reach out,
you reach out for me,
you are more than i could hope for,
you are more than i deserve,
you my angel, you my ethereal love,
we are incorporeal, we are finite,
we are transient,
we are only mortal,
we live, we love, we exist,
existing in transcendence,
a painting of souls intertwined,
its caption "i am your & you are mine"

come what may

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh come what may, come what may
I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place...

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Stolen - Dashboard Confessional

We watch the season pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend of the last week
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades away

You have stolen my heart

Invitation only, grand farewells
Crash the best one, of the best ones
Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight

You have stolen my heart

And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration
One good stretch before our hibernation
Our dreams assured and we all, will sleep well

You have stolen
You have stolen my heart

I watch you spin around in your highest heels
You are the best one, of the best ones
We all look like we feel

You have stolen my
You have stolen my heart

the world could do without, sadly

The world could do without me, sadly.

Or perhaps I could do without the world, I could do without suffering, I could do without joy, I could do without breathing, I could do without my heart beating, I could do without my broken soul, I could shed my skin, I could escape the corporeal world, I could fly heavenward, I could find peace, maybe I could do without her, ludicrous as it may seem maybe I could do without her love.

I can't.

And so the world will have to do without me, sadly. Slowly I will fade into the night, my voice will go quiet, I will pass from human knowing. I will be forgotten. My name will not echo, my name will not echo, my name will not echo. I will not matter, as I do not matter now, as I have never mattered. For nothing matters and I am nothing.

And so the world will have to do without me, I would like to think, though it won't notice. I will. Me and my thoughts.

Possession - Evans Blue

Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide
voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?
and I would be the one

to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear

Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed
trying to find an honest word to find
the truth enslaved
oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive
And I would be the one

to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear

Into this night I wander
it's morning that I dread
another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread

oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied
and I would be the one

to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes

things to do if you, a guy find yourself arguing with a woman

If you find yourself in an argument with a woman, comment on how her shoes match a particular article of clothing. It has a 85% chance of disarming the situation.

When arguing with a woman, make eye contact. Lack of eye contact will get you condemned as a bad listener or worse a liar (if you're doing the talking).

Do not make too much eye contact. This will lead to the assumption that you're staring her down.

Do not stare at her chest. For obvious reasons.

Complement her but don't over complement her. Flattery can come across as an attempt to get into her pants. Be vague but not too vague. I realise I'm being vague. Years of practice my brothers.

When arguing never mention another woman. This will severely screw things up.

Do not pinch her arse. She's not in the mood. Though, this can in some situations get you laid. Angry fight sex can be intense. So I've heard.

When arguing you can make a lot of valid points. All she needs is one to tear you to pieces. As a guy you'll try to make sense. She won't let sense hold her back.

So to conclude... When arguing with a woman, don't! You're always wrong. The sooner you realise this, the better things get for you.

And now I wait...

And Jax... I know, I know... I'm a misogynistic shitbag... but you love me all the same =)

I Miss You - Incubus

To see you when I wake up
is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
is a three-fold, utopian dream.
You do something to me that I can't explain.
So would I be out of line if I said,
I miss you.
I see your picture, I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days, but already I'm wasting away.
I know I'll see you again
whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care
and I miss you.

pills - the perishers

I hope my smile
Can distract you
I hope my fists
Can fight for two
So it never has to show
And you’ll never know

I hope my love
Can blind you
I hope my arms
Can bind you
So you’ll never have to see
What we’ve grown to be

One may think
We’re alright
But we need pills
To sleep at night
We need lies
To make it through the day
We’re not ok

One may think
We’re alright
But we need pills
To sleep at night
We need lies
To make it through the day
We’re not ok

One may think
We’re doing fine
But if I had to lay it on the line
We’re losing ground
With every passing day
We’re not ok

But that’s one thing
I would never
One thing I would never
That’s one thing
I would never say to you

That’s one thing
I would never
One thing I would never
That’s one thing
I would never say to you

pinocchio

He the feeble Pinocchio,
His Geppetto most awesome,
He never should,
He never could,
To run from his Geppetto,
He this mangled piece of wood,
To beat his wooden heart,
A miracle to set free his ropes,
A real boy to become,
One day he foolishly hopes,
Though all he will find is woe,
For without his Geppetto,
This Pinocchio is nothing but a hollow soul.

all the pretty paintings

A friend of mine is leaving the country very soon, it was an eventuality foreseen and unfortunately for me I'm going to miss her very much. It is going to be very much like this, one day everything is awesome and everything is colourful and bright and the next all the pretty paintings she's coloured into my life will washout as the rain falls in her absence. Dark clouds are on the horizon and I know they're coming for me.

I could focus on them as I have been doing the last couple of weeks or I could spend all the time I have left with her, hoping to have so many paintings that the rain will not be able to wash them all out.

She is by far one of the most colourful people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, her absence will rob me of a part myself I never had before, a part of me she woke up and gave colour, her beauty both physical and emotional has impacted me, her mind has opened my eyes and her absence will leave me wanting. My life has been greatly enriched by her and if I have an abundant number of paintings even the rain cannot seek to wash them all away. A friendship not lost.

If you're reading this, you've given me more out of our friendship than I could ever have hoped for. I thank you. I'm looking forward to the pretty paintings and the goofy smiles.

Hugs and Kisses

the nomad

for i no hearth exists,
in the jigsaw i does not fit,
a nomad in the timeless mist,
content in his ignorant bliss,

idle dew drops captivate,
this i in his opiate escape,
fantasies reflect in his eye's glaze,
unfixed staring at arbitrary space,

freedom within his cage,
an oblivion of his mind's array,
for his thoughts no page,
the depravity of chaos portrayed,

now this i sees,
in the dreamscape a travesty,
in our humanness a frailty,
we bereft of sensibilities,

this broken soul wistful,
yearning for clarity,
sighing at his humanity,
and all its idiosyncrasies

pride

such is the fallacy of human pride,
in our attempt to conquer minds,
we wither humanity in our stride,
till all we leave are ruined lives,

understanding perceived a notion unsubstantial,
to never see the other side,
knowledge thought a vantage worthless,
such is the fallacy of human pride,

morpheus

to sleep you go winks,
like the man named rip
deny not the sandman,
i, your morpheus am,

to shape, to make,
you, i will not break,
in me solace take,
i, your morpheus wake,

i your dreams write,
in me take sweet delight,
i one from the twilight,
i, your morpheus sublime,

such is release,
captured in this art,
you with me in the stars,
i, your morpheus assure,

caught in the expanse,
eternity ends in no time,
and moment is a pleasure,
i, your morpheus treasure

the rising sun,
and to slumber i must,
return to you soon trust,
to be your morpheus again winks.

Nemo - Nightwish

This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass

This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavour
To find the missing lifeline

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything

My flower
Withered between
The pages two and three
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins

Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forever more

Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forever more

Nemo my name forever more

the way i see it - boys and men

the way I see it, the distinct difference between boys and men aside from the greater amount of flatulence, facial hair, receding hairline and hairier balls, is how far you have to fall when you've screwed up. Men fall further.

Yes men fall further in the eyes of the world in comparison to boys. If you never take up the mantle of being a man, you shall always remain loved in the eyes of the world regardless of how many times you fall or how bad that fall is. Why?

It's boils down to the expectation that the world places on boys and men.

Boys are expected to fall, to be irresponsible, to lack good sense, to make mistakes, to be immature. It's the norm, no one is phased when by the stupidity of boys. In fact there is a saying that basically makes everything alright for a boy. It goes "boys will be boys". That saying is basically a green light for a boy to do just about anything and get away with it.

Men are expected to be responsible, to be strong, to be secure, to be infallible, to be steady, to be level headed, to provide, to be mature. Sayings like "be the bigger man" come into play, which basically tell men to be all that is expected of them. The seemingly ominous duty of being a man is daunting, filled with strife and copious amounts of responsibility. It is like being forged in the hottest furness. Many crack under immense weight of this responsibility. Can the boy survive the forging process? Can this boy be a man?

It's a lot for the boy trying to wear a man's shoes to take on at once because at the heart of it, the boy remains forever, hidden within the man. Eventually the boy becomes a man, though not every boy wants to. What sort of man would this boy be? The answer I dare not consider for fear it will be something I cannot live with.

I am the boy content with being a boy and nothing more for now. I am Peter Pan, my mind is my neverland.

Can't take my eyes off of you - Frank Valli

Song Lyrics

Trouble Sleeping - The Perishers

days

we have so many days ahead of us,
though numbered be those days,
we still have them in fair supply,
be they good ones or bad,

perhaps equally portioned,
i hope the bias towards good is,
our job is only this,
to treasure the good and discard the bad,
