Arrows

I shot an arrow last night into the dark
and woke up this morning to find out I broke a heart

Watched the finale of Bachelorette today.  It's a show about how 1 girl breaks the hearts of 24 guys so that she can say yes to 1 of them.  That's crazy.  Peace out.

Adjusted

losing my voice
shouting to the heavens
why me?
why this?
opening and closing doors
not letting me decide for myself
taking away the kiss
the ms.
my only heart's wish

Watched Adjustment Bureau again tonight.  Don't worry... only my second time... today... j/k... second time ever.  I like movies where a couple meets, dates, falls apart for some reason and then gets back together at the end.  If only there were more movies like that around.  I don't get why hollywood doesn't get it and just makes these kind of movies.  I'm sure people would like them.

I think it's interesting to think about how maybe it's not your fault that you don't end up with Susan Glenn (Axe commercial reference).  Maybe it was due to some dudes in hats, opening and closing doors and controlling your life.  Or maybe Susan Glenn chose the wrong guy.  I like that term - Wrong Guy.  It's not very acceptable.  People don't want to think that they can marry the wrong person after putting so much thought into it.  I dunno and don't presently have to worry about that.  Peace out.

Rain

Walking in the rain
Slower than normal in order to raise my coolness level
Hair soaked to the brain
Unwilling to allow myself to settle
I would run if I had some motivation
An audience that was waiting
I would hurry if I could shake the sensation
the feeling that it's impossible for us to be dating

Walked in the rain today for the first time in a while. Not as romantic a situation as I would have hoped. It wasn't like I was taking a walk in Paris in the rain. And it wasn't like you were waiting for me. Peace out.

Holding Fast

Holding fast
In grid
Waiting for movement
Red light strands from tail lights in long exposure photos
I stand still as the world revolves around me
I shift into neutral and wait for the push

I think this piece is extremely clever. Hahaha. Hopefully when years have come and gone, it won't be so clever that I forget what in the world this thing is about.

Living the dream for one more day. Peace out.

Settle

I was told I needed to meet you
To see you with my own eyes
I was told I needed to greet you
and put aside all the lies

The lies I tell myself concerning what I want
I lose my nerves and lose my mettle
and my fingers slip and I lose all desire to settle
It's better to be red than dead

I don't remember if I've discussed my settling theory on this blog.  If not, I won't do it now.  It's a better fit for my other blog anyways.

Sometimes you accept thing because you're settling... and then there are the things that you dream about... And when people plant the idea that maybe you have a chance of attaining the dream, it keeps you up at night... and then you get angry at them for planting the hope in your heart because things look different in the light of a new day. I know no one knows what I'm talking about but I do.  Maybe I'll allow myself to dream for one more day.  Peace out.
