poet.

to me, this is such a perfect articulation on love and writing. love this song by Bastille. 

Poet, Bastille

Obsession it takes control,

Obsession it eats me whole.

I can't say the words out loud,

So in a rhyme I wrote you down.

Now you'll live through the ages,

I can feel your pulse in the pages.

I have written you down

Now you will live forever

And all the world will read you

And you will live forever

In eyes not yet created

On tongues that are not born

I have written you down

Now you will live forever

Your body lies upon the sheet,

Of paper and words so sweet.

I can't say the words,

so I wrote you into my verse.

Now you'll live through the ages,

I can feel your pulse in the pages.

I have written you down

Now you will live forever

And all the world will read you,

And you will live forever

In eyes not yet created

On tongues that are not born

I have written you down

Now you will live forever

I have read her with these eyes,

I've read her with these eyes,

I have held her in these hands.

I have written you down,

Now you will live forever.

The virtues in the verse,

And you will live forever.

I have written you down

Now you will live forever

And all the world will read you

And you will live forever

In eyes not yet created

On tongues that are not born

I have written you down

Now you will live forever

and then...

randomly came here today thinking, i need to write. to post. i miss my blog. for no reason or no one but me. and i am so much more comfortable doing things JUST for myself now. there need not be a reason or an explanation past "i want to".

oh the struggle between selfish and self knowing. that has been the past two years. striving for a balance. for a self-love. for happiness that truly came from within.

did i achieve it?..... i don't think one CAN achieve that. ya gotta just live. and stop trying to achieve so damn much! ;) but in this moment, in this now, i am happy, that i am here to write this, and i am grateful and appreciative of not only the moment but also my awareness of that. and if you don't find that to be an achievement, well, frankly darling i just don't give a damn!

stolen from pinterest for sure!

(ps. i have never seen gone with the wind - gasp, i know!)

 til next time....

word.
