http://darkabstraction.com/wordpress don't look at me that way... it was an honest mistake Thu, 05 Aug 2010 09:21:08 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I forget why I was thinking about it, but for some reason I had found myself in the middle of looking for a poem from a show called "Blue Sub No. 6". The poem, as presented in the English version, goes this way: "Today, today," Each day I have waited for you. And ... http://darkabstraction.com/wordpress/?p=226 Samsara Human eyes, Fickle and callous and full of surprise At the sight of you -- My heart longs to tell you That you are the very model of perfection to me And that my eyes cannot properly see All of the things you could mean to me. But you have walked out of my life, Trouncing upon that ... http://darkabstraction.com/wordpress/?p=225 The whole city knew when the boy had hit the tower: everything stopped. Except those people who were standing, starring, video-taping the carnage, everyone was panicked. There's some ethereal calming feeling, inherent only to humans, to watching a disaster, like how people slow down in cars to look. Only willing ... http://darkabstraction.com/wordpress/?p=208 So, it's been a while since I've written here. That doesn't mean it's been a while since I've been writing, though. Unfortunately, I've discovered that prose puts me to sleep (yes, literally and on more than one occasion). So I've got a bunch of pages kind of laying around half-finished, ... http://darkabstraction.com/wordpress/?p=224 Thickly spread across the sky, Mounted up so high, How quickly they go by! Up there my feelings lie, Yet down here am I, And I cannot get away. Would that I were borne on the current of the wind, This stationary life I would transcend In the sky-river's bend. Up there to my feelings tend But lose myself to ... http://darkabstraction.com/wordpress/?p=223 11x14 I referenced in previous post can be checked out here: link. Total time was about 4 hours, because I had to clean it up something fierce. http://darkabstraction.com/wordpress/?p=222 So that chirping noise (the tech corrected me from "clicking") was a combination of my belt, the belt idler, and the belt tensioner. Car runs silent now, though, which is exciting. Of course on the ironic flipside, this could just be one step away from, "Not with a bang but ... http://darkabstraction.com/wordpress/?p=221 939 (no amp) Rainy day + staying up all night + playing the guitar while lying down. http://darkabstraction.com/wordpress/?p=219 Dear one for whom my heart does long, Soft night rays play in light of your being: Your beauty shines transformed to song, And your voice descends serene. Laughter trails your form like wind As your carefree intent is shown. As the contours of your body bend, Sweeter melodies may never again be known. Your voice and grace ... http://darkabstraction.com/wordpress/?p=217 Poor Prometheus! I, if no one else, know that The true fire is not a flame but a fountain! In contrast, our daily lives Are a sinking boat On which our fair futures float. Though, we don't get very far -- Life is a pond Where we and the algae dumbly abscond.
