those silent eyes
get caught in mine
from time to time
and if the moon is right
maybe, i just might
commit another crime
and go collect my eyes

Not lost, just nearly not found
sat me down and showed me around
ice from your fingers, webs form your eyes
it's not my time
that's why im surprised
a model of consquence
a new wound to admire
your freeze to preserve
while i stab at the fire

i bet i remember who who was meant for every poem

Time is very closely related to water.
Both come in waves and you can quickly find yourself drowning.
Both have a mistress called the Moon.
Tides come in but leave to soon.
Ripple in time. Stitch in space.
Stars like eyes and a Cheshire cat face.
A grin like ten king's coming home,
To find their wives utterly betroved.
But riches, like watches, play to a game.
Time; like a glass bead, breaks just the same.

*sometimes, the best things in life can be found within B-sides and rareties

virgin fest was this past weekend
i was musiking all weekend long
barely had time to find and eat cheese
saturday included amaz-fuck-ing performs by arctic monkeys and interpol
jeezus crisp
we spies, we slow hands!

sunday, got to HEAR the last couple tokyo police club songs, at least it was the three songs i wanted (nature of the experiment, be good, la ferrasie)
blonde redhead was miseristic, the only song i knew was falling man, but really sick band
pumpkins were starlight
and anything off mellencollie was blasttasticle
bullet with, tonight tonight, zero (best rendition ive ever heard) by starlight, 1979, today
billy's voice and more importantly his scream were very much present
it was cool getting to hear live pumpkins
now lets see some progress on this supposed RAGE T.O. show
P.S. QOTSA in a month and 4 days
"3's & 7's? how can you have a song thats just called numbers? i thought this was rock and roll not fricking math class" -bulby

you're just looking for someone who shares a piece with you. you understand immediately and reflect back. But this is only a single piece being shared. I don't know, it's pretty simple, you find connections that in turn lead to attractions. you like or love that one certain thing about them. and now you want to observe and feed on all and everything else they have hidden behind their eyes and hearts. You'll start logging down behaviours and discussions. You'll ask questions and scrutinize on details and colours especially. And some like what they see. And some just cope with what they get. Maybe that one initial connection you poured over for weeks was just chance. or else just something tiny, but transfiguringly beautiful, hidden or not by an unknowing Wearer. The search hardly stops, but conversations dull. He could really use an hourglass.

maybe pack-rats are just sentimental
ever think of that?
yeah...you probably did, the last time, if any, i mentioned this

you know whats sad?
when you realise that life isnt the ocean you thought it was as you grew up
it's gritty concrete, but it's not inanimate like concrete, it's actually trying to toss you off your feet
thats why the skin on our elbows and knees is all elephantish
humans fall down
alot
we try though
not our best
but we try
and if things continue in a '1 beauty for every 10 evils' way
then at least we'll have enough scarletts and spinnerettes to dazzle over
while the rest just hang and wait to drip
oblivion's a soup

quickly through the fade
hurrily, hungrily, merrily, junglely
everything has its frays

Nadia is screaming,
breaking through the dream
focusing the frantic
and daring at the seams

"breath-taking?...breath took",
says the needle in her stare
i watch and wait and wait and watch
her kiss is relentless and creates its own palette

she is and isn't
if im gone tomorrow
she's gone today

ooooh what a waste
of colour and stability
oh if life was but a dream
everyone would slow it down
heads would be in clouds
green would be the new gold
lips would replace pens
and say more than words

creation: an 'every now and then' way of going about collecting miracles,
throwing out the doubles and trading browns for greens
desertion: who needs 'lifesize' anyway?
hypnotaste: hungry eyes always get their fill, slow dreaming, tongues all tipped
terror-dactyl: desire like a sky-scraper, clawed and captive, sink in your stare, level headed, he goes to bed, ashamed of all the words he couldnt produce

Summer whisps
from smoke drenched lips
languid thoughts
of starlike objects
always encircled
because death follows life follows death
but not without an 'unless'

So dress down
and fall over love
retreat to repeat.
dissemble your priorities,
gentle and sporadic
shouldn't be touching.
So close, you can make out
whether it's flutter or faulter

david cross is going to play alan ginsberg in a movie about the life of bob dylan, where 7 individual actors will portray the artists different aspects of creativity and lifestyle, including heath ledger and christian bale (also appearing together in the dark knight, the follow up to batman begins, marking the very first batman movie without 'batman' in the title) as well as cate blanchet and richard gere

youve set something in motion now
but the sickness will shortly follow

gardens need to be tended
like wounds desire to be mended
but this is not the way

how many times does a rose have to thorn your side before you leave it for the ground?

if no one else is going to say anything,
to...i dont want to say persuade you, but...for lack of a better word...
guide/help/administer truth
then ill do it
it's only because your friends are scared,
they dont want you to be cross with them, especially now that just the smell of summer can make one fall in love
and im sick of the phrase "i just want you to be happy"
because i DONT
i want you to be more than happy
needed,wanted,fawned over, caressed, emotionally/mentally full
my head says listen to my heart
my heart says "what do you think?"

youre better than all of this

sometimes you have to choose a fucking side
but you're to much of a medium
so put on your rollar blades and remain indecisive

you have a question, please dont ask it
it puts the lotion in the basket

ha fucking right

and what the fuck
my first crush resurfaces?
this could be fun
i like 2 capitals in a last name

but im just a dead man walking in the dead of night full of misfit love
