ps when you look up at the moon and stars above your head just know that they are the same stars that i love too. when you feel the wind gently brush upon your chin know that it was just the kiss that i blew to you.

death by suicide

ps i saw darkness under the bridge today during my morning hike. i cried at the sight of a guy who jumped to his death from the suicide bridge. no one was around. i hear the police and the coroners laugh. what sickness do they have to laugh? as i was praying for this man and his family the officer told me to leave. he said, "this is not a lookie loo show," in a rather mean voice. no words came from my mouth as i slowly walked away weeping.
it's been haunting me all day. i hope anyone reading this never sees what i saw. i can see him clearly in my head laying on his side half bent in an almost fetal like position in the water of the ravine. his eyes wide open with a blank stare. blood coming from the eye that was facing the cement. the way he was laying there while the water was streaming around his body was somehow peaceful. he is at peace now.
i am numb.
ps ps please say a prayer for his soul.

beggar's prayer ~ emiliana torrini

ps
mamma said, lift your head from the sieve of your hands.
mamma said eventually this hurting will end.
but the shockwaves on my bones will linger,
like the ghost of you here in my bed.

when i was lost you thought me a beautiful find.
sometimes i think of you sleeping, so sleep for a while.
i find myself asking who'd do this to love,
and the white-shouldered mountains they pointed above.

lord you just dropped me here by the side of this road.
out here's too cold and i don't want to walk it alone.
i've got a bottle of your blood inside me,
and on old beggar's prayer on the tip of my tongue.

mamma said, lift your head from the sieve of your hands.
mamma said that eventually this hurting will end...

ps ps it's true

the barr brothers ~ beggar in the morning

ps hello, i'm a monster too.

i take my medicine on my knees twice today, but lately three.
keeps the devil from my door.

ps ps i want an angel to wipe my tears.

joshua james ~ lord, devil & him

ps lord open his eyes, help him see
through that disguise that he cannot
see upon the human devil& the human devil.

so it is now, and we are cold
to see you sick with half a soul
words are cheap and love it speaks
the volumes that we need to make our hearts grow weak
so come on back, and have some laughs
remember that the good times they ain't so bad.
cuz i am dying to try and find a way we can leave this...
all behind.

ps wish made

steps you take when you come across a haunted outhouse

1. run in and take a seat.

2. connect with the other world.

3. giggle with the spirits as if they are telling you something funny.

4. leave with a smile.

ps oh my, lost in a ghost town. hey, i see an outhouse. come out, come out wherever you are my friend the ghost.

ps ps these clicks were all in fun. nothing really happening inside. me being a nerd making myself laugh. no spirits were actually seen.

Back of My Mind by The Roseline

donovan ~ catch the wind

ps

in the chilly hours and minutes,
of uncertainty, i want to be,
in the warm hold of your loving mind.

to feel you all around me,
and to take your hand, along the sand,
ah, but i may as well try and catch the wind.

when sundown pales the sky,
i wanna hide a while, behind your smile,
and everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

for me to love you now,
would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing,
ah, but i may as well, try and catch the wind.

when rain has hung the leaves with tears,
i want you near, to kill my fears
to help me to leave all my blues behind.

for standin' in your heart,
is where i want to be, and i long to be,
ah, but i may as well, try and catch the wind.

ps keep creeping on

"we pass through life as though we are spell~cast."

“in periods of rapid personal change, we pass through life as though we are spell-cast. we speak in sentences that end before finishing. we sleep heavily because we need to ask so many questions as we dream alone. we bump into others and feel bashful at recognizing souls so similar to ourselves.”

~ douglas coupland
