I need a change.
– Where shall we go?
To the other side of the world
– Let’s leave today.
We would make new friends, quickly and easily – you’re likable in that way.
They’ll be caring and nice, never mean and always laugh,
They’ll love music and art, and reading, and dancing!
Quite perfect, for you and me, anyway.
We can live everyday,
Enjoying every moment to the fullest,
No problems while we sip our wine and
Eat our chocolate. It would be wonderful.
An Orchid on a farm with rolling green mountains surrounding us and protecting us.
We’ll have picnics in autumn, with the golden leaves falling
Around us. We’ll be beside the fireplace when winter comes,
Warm and alive in a world so dead.
We’d watch the clouds, lying in the grass,
When spring finally arrives,
And fending away the summer with glasses of lemonade,
Homemade, of course, always a little bit too sour.
We’ll act like children,
Because no-one will care if we fly kites in the fields, and dance in the streets, because it’ll be a common thing.
We’ll sing loudly and off key, but everyone will love, they’ll say it’s good we tried.
Grand pianos and violins, in a large room,
Where we will play from dusk ‘till dawn,
Our own melodies, for us and nobody else
To hear and to praise.
A library so large, that everything is reality, and nothing is myth.
We’ll get lost in our books, always reading and thinking,
Loving and learning,
Never a bored moment in our world of words.
I will need a secret garden, where the lies,
And the deceit melt away. Hidden from the world, safe
From hurt and pain. Grass so soft, we don’t need cushions,
Not even when we fall.
Our secret garden, where the truth never seeks us out (but we’ll know where to find it),
Where we are never destroyed. The butterflies will whisper tales
Of wondrous acts and remarkable things,
Making us so gleeful in our secret garden.
We will have a big house,
With lots of room, and lots of hidey holes,
Where we can retreat and get lost in thought.
A big house with lots of lights, and a ballroom
For dancing and playing. Won’t it be grand?
We will have our own little world,
Where we are what we want to be, doctor, lawyer, fireman, or even an actor.
We will be able to what we like in our little world,
Without worrying about judgment. Won’t it be grand?
– Let’s move away now.
To the other side of the world.
– Where everything is good again.
Let’s leave today!
– Won’t it be grand?

This is my hiatus piece.
I know I've been kind of inactive for awhile. So this piece is my official hiatus notification. I haven't had time to do much lately, I haven't been motivated to do much. My creative juices have all but come to a stand still, so I've been finding it hard to produce anything substantial. My emotions have been wild, and I haven't been able to make sense of them, this poem is the synthesis of everything I have been thinking, in relative terms. I'm sorry if I haven't replied to your comments/notes, I just haven't had the time. I'll try get through them tonight, but after that I won't respond. This should really be in journal, but I think it's more suited here... ---- Onto the poem: This is basically the poetic form of a discussion I had with a close friend yesterday, we both want to run away to a place where everything is perfect, and where we have all that's described above. It's a far fetched dream, but it's what I need at the moment, a far fetched dream to allow the means to be justified, even by a falsified end. There's a lot that I could say about this, I could go into details about why I wrote it, but there seems to be very little point in burdening you all with my thoughts. KEEP WELL! xx |

 reports, 1d 6h agoHave you ever wondered what something meant as far as Photography goes? Things like "Cable Release", "AEB", "C-41", "Neutral density filter", and "Polarizer"? The photonotes.org Dictionary of Film and Digital Photography is one place to stop and get it all answered. This is quite a valuable resource that explains in depth what a photography term means, and will help those understand who might not know what something is. |

It's like a dream you have, about you and your future wife?
It's everything you embody to be perfect, everything you hope for in the future and what you're craving right now.
It's self-explanatory. It says a lot to me too, about your dreams and what you need. I'll let you go and stop fighting it, but I'll miss you, we all will, I just hate the thought of a friend moving away.
It's a great hiatus piece =]
Ps Anal-retentive me spots some errors, please edit it
" I will need a secret garden, where the lies,
And the deceit melt away."
I hope you find what you're looking for...
I'm your 'close friend' yay, you are also my close friend dear <3
Thankyou for the advice, and sorry for the burden.
Ly,
always.
Bff, even when you're gone to another planet and come home with a german accent, a foreign wife and fair-haired children with strangely intriguing names.
Don't forget me when you leave.

...And it burns and it burns,
I won't let myself get burnt again...
I nearly wrote something along the same lines once...But I dream about this place often. Maybe I'll see you there when we finally make it.

I definitely got the idea of a perfect place with a perfect someone (does this someone start with an A?) and its about the love you two share.
You definitely have poetic skill, and that could easily branch into songwriting (if you ever need a co-lyricist, look me up!) So yeah. Awesome!
