Journal — Poetic Ramblings
Our Summer Ennui
Stay, stay awhile,The days are long, carefree.We have today, we have tomorrow,Yesterday was ours too.Light filters through aged lace curtains,Golden dapples, hitherto, hitherto.On ironstone and clay,Sun kisses on late summer blooms.The quiet leafing through a book.Tendrils of your hair,Against your cheek.Lost in another world.Sussurus beyond the window panes,Your eyes close, a knowing smile.Of which I know of.Savouring these final moments,Of our summer ennui.

"I did that once." That all these little things add to my makeup of my being. I do not want to be...
Speak it into being
Maybe if I speak it into being, This thing, This amorphous thing. Like trying to grasp fog. I see walls, And light, soft, natural, And shadows too, Since one cannot exist without the other. And this desire to create, to show, to share. What these two hands are capable of, When heart and mind are at play. These things take time. And I know, once the path is lit, I'll thread easily down that road, But for now the map feels too bare. Everything feels too forced. Feels lacking.

"I saw a vintage photo of this girl wearing worn in overalls and this gorgeous billowy puff sleeved top. I made up a story in my mind about her. Her weatherworn dungarees and an antique blouse that was her grandmothers...

"I can't help it, I just love a denim on denim look. You know, someday I'd love a slim cut menswear matching denim set. Kind of 40s, kind of 70s. I wonder if I'll ever come across one, I just...
