Heard it in the wind


Only a little,

a lot would be a bit much.

In your mind they twiddle.

You long for that memory, that touch.


Floating in that space between

neither here nor there.

All that you’ve seen, the places you’ve been

It’s yours for the taking, yet despair.


Losing the pieces to a puzzle,

you sometimes wonder what the picture might have been.

You don’t really know, but your mind begins to drivel

and your heart believes what it hasn’t seen.


The wind blows through the shimmering rain

Watch the trees… They quiver, they glisten.

The universe she works in mysterious ways,

Take some time off and listen.


Only a little,

a lot would be a bit much.

No need to struggle –

You search for perfection, but there is nonesuch.

Back and Forth


Hazes and mazes, don’t you just love these new places?

Looking a little lost, a little confused, drawing puzzled gazes…

I smiled and called out to a few but got no answer,

Like Alice would say, things were getting curiouser!


Twirling, swirling, unsettling at first

It grows on you, for more you thirst.

It starts taking control and there are times you don’t really notice

Before you know it you’re gasping for breath, trying to make it to the surface.


Blurred, battered, bitter and bruised.

You dive back in, your senses seduced.

Your mind’s drawing a blank, no perception of space or time.

Drowning in an ethereal haze, a feeling so sublime.


Is this the end you ask? I wouldn’t know.

My soul and I, we’ve parted ways and the space between us slowly grows.

Oh but please, come back! Let’s leave this place to see better days!

A rush of blood to the head and we unite, we collapse in sweet embrace.

Summertime Blues


Sitting on the porch, strumming my guitar
I’d never before wished upon a shooting star.
Out of luck and nothing to lose –
It’s a card you’re given, not one you choose

Paths cross but seldom entwine,
or so I heard it through the grapevine.
There are no coincidences, no reasons to resist.
Life goes on, and then the odd twists

4 in the morning, you worry me so.
You bring out the side to me I almost never show.
I know you’re there, I feel you by my side
Keeping me warm, putting all else aside

The road less traveled, my only way home.
Never ceases to amaze me, with she I roam.
I’ll take you with me of that I’m sure,
I’m like a disease, and baby, there aint no cure.

Oh sunshine, I beg you to stay!
There’re so many things that I need to say!
I feel your warmth, your healing touch,
You’ve been gone a long time, and I’ve missed you so much.

Lucid in the sky with diamonds


Dawn you say is on its way,
But I want these dreams to forever stay.
They keep me warm, in the dark
and give me hope when all seems stark.

Endless journeys or so they seem,
Motion reels and crazy screams.
I wouldn’t leave if I had a choice, I swear
but reality takes what I really don’t want to share.

Swimming through these velvet skies,
Memories and forgotten ties.
Like pages of a dusty book,
Each coffee stain, each unfamiliar nook.

Realms of beauty stretching far and wide,
So much to see with each breaking tide.
One impetuous quiver and I’m awake in bed,
Still I see vivid images swirling through my head.

I try to go back, but alas!
My thoughts, like sand through an hourglass.
So all in all I’d say time well spent,
Back to existence, disenchanted yet content.

-Z

Puzzled?


When you reach the end of the tunnel,
And the only light that's shining is way behind you
You tend to forget what it was/is/is going to be about
You always drag behind you all those pieces to the puzzle
Occasionally dropping the few that matter along the way..
You don't really want to go back to get them,
And you always have that incomplete picture
You forget who you were/are.
You don’t really get breaks along the way, you have to keep moving
Hesitantly at first, and then you slowly build a steady rhythm
So much graffiti along those walls.
And then you realise, there is no end.
To be honest, there are no reasons to why we do this.
It's like a game that everyone's playing.
And it's addictive.
And then one day, you do see the light.
Only to find that something just hit you real hard.
And it rolls on along the tracks sweeping you and all those pieces you left behind
After what seems like a lifetime, you reach the point where it all started
A mangled bloody mess, you lie there.
Complete.

What?

Nous voyons beaucoup d'images tout les jours
Quelques restent et quelques disparaĆ®tre
But those that we hold close remain
while the rest crumble to be forever forgetten
Lately i've been thinking a lot about the past, or trying to atleast. There are some things that i thought i'd remember for the rest of my life but now that i look back it's all a huge colourful ball of goo. I don't have a single memory from school. Not one. I do remember certain things that happened but i can't really picture it in my head. But then random images that i don't really care about but those that have obviously affected me in some way do come back to me. It's funny how the hippocampus works. I've been meaning to blog about this for a while now but I never really got down to doing it. Maybe I just have bad memory. :/

The Great Escape


At some point in our lives all of us reach this point where we feel stagnant. This point where we realise that we've been doing the same things or been at the same places or felt the same feelings for too long a period. We feel the need for a change. The need to get away. The need to explore new horizons. New roads. New people. New skies. New things basically. Things that we haven't experienced before. And when you don't get that dose of change, you start losing it. You keep following that routine of yours until you go insane. The brain always likes change. It likes perceiving new visions and feelings. It's refreshing. And you automatically feel happy. So the basic idea is to keep doing new things. And never leaving that anchor down for too long. Every change in your life is a new adventure.

Change


Things change all the time and most of the time we don't even notice it. But sometimes you do and it gets you thinking. It's like waking up from a dream and seeing reality. You somehow feel like a different person when you actually start thinking about it. But what i've begin to realise is that you can control exactly what changes to what and how it happens. It's not just something that happens randomly. It's a product of a combination of actions or thoughts in the past. It's almost like actually getting into that dream and putting the pieces together the way you'd like to see them. Get to a quiet place and look around you. Look at every detail. Every object, every particle, every image, every thought that's present in that frame is there because something/someone put it there. You can actually picture that exact plane being constructed in your head. You can't possibly control everything because things change all the time. Everything arround you is constantly changing.

But then there is the possibility that change is non existant. Nothing ever changes. Everything that is happening, has already happened. It's like watching a movie. Everything's just playing around us. Every action that you make is just a part of the really long video. Even though it's hard to believe, it's possible. Look around you. It's just a really high quality video that someone's playing for you. Every movement. Every sound. But even this, you can change. Because whatever you want to do, you can. So you're controlling the video. Which makes it reality. When you can control your subconscious mind, you'd actually be able to see things around you changing the way you planned. Because you'd be doing things in the exact combination that would be ideal to make that change. We already know all the answers. It's just that we don't ask the right questions. I've kept my nonsense off the internet for a while now but i'm back now heh :D

Not Here, Not Now.


http://www.josephbarnettphotography.com/images/Tree-Dark-Sky-Sun.jpg

Flying with the wind in my face
i close my eyes and I'm happy.
Can't feel my feet below me
Swimming in the endless sea of emptiness
Not a care in the world.
Peace.


And then there lies danger before me or so i think
Looming large but I'm lost in the exhilaration
My eyelids fly back for i sense a threat
Too late.
I plunge into the unexplained
I feel lost. But somehow still happy.
Confused. But happy.


And then i'm flung back out
Back to where i was before
And though this is where i want to be
I miss where i was. That state of not knowing.
That feeling of wanting to know everything at once.
Grasping everything at once.
Was it a dream? i doubt it.

-Zomb.

The Purple Man's Ascension

There was a man all dressed in blue,
He never really cared for the people he knew..
He had no family, his friends few.
All his feelings tangled in a purple hue.

Across the bridge he moved slowly..
"I must reach my abode" he told himself softly.
The purple skies above him swirling wildly,
A cacaphony of colours guided him patiently..

He was comforted and he felt no pain..
His past washed away, leaving no stain.
Slowly the numbness reaching his brain,
upward he was lifted, peace he attained.
