...how to approach language, words: not with seriousness so much, as an essayist does, but with a kind of alert respect, as you approach dynamite; even with joy, as you approach women: perhaps with the same secretly unscrupulous intentions.

(William Faulkner, from the introduction to The sound and the fury)

I let my eyes
drink in the sight.
I know they shine.
Won't even try
to lie and hide
what's on my mind.

it's still worthwhile.

That's just who I am! Ha!

There is something in the lyrics of this song which takes hold of me and doesn't let go. I know they're simple and love-centered but still.

Been up all night staring at you
wondering what's on your mind
i've been this way with so many before
but this feels like the first time
you want the sunrise to go back to bed
i want to make you laugh

I may just write for the sake of writing, savouring the good feeling of how the keys give way under my fingers, causing little letters to be born. They align themselves to make words which align themselves to make sentences, which don't have any deeper meaning, just friendly groups of nice words to form something which sounds beautiful.

Love Story

First she asked everybody and all just to leave her be,
Ah, laissez-moi tranquille, Lasst mich endlich doch alle in Ruhe.
When they did she was happy but only a little bit
Worried if she won’t finally somehow begin to rue it.

She was perfectly happy to be on her own all day ( Read more... )
