Playground love ♥ AIR

Playground Love

I'm a high school lover, and you're my favorite flavor.

Love is all, all my soul.

You're my Playground Love.

Yet my hands are shaking.

I feel my body remain

Tense no matter,

I'm on fire.

On the playground, love.

You're the piece of gold the flushes all my soul.

Extra time, on the ground.

You're my Playground Love.

Anytime, anyway,

You're my Playground Love.

Playground Love ♥

About the dark things I dreamed of last night: A bad omen? Pt II

Dreams. Everyone has them. Some good, some bad. Some you wish you could forget. Sometimes you realize, you've outgrown them. Sometimes you feel like they're finally coming true. And some of us, just have nightmares. But no matter what you dream, when morning comes, reality intrudes and the dream begins to slip away.

Her ♥'s a mess



Your ’s a mess
You won’t admit to it
It makes no sense
But I’m desperate to connect
And you, you can’t live like this

Love ain’t safe
You won’t get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I don’t wanna waste my love...

Vertebrae by vertebrae

It starts in the nest of your hair,
swiftly swirls down your neck,
fingers running along your lovely back,
longing to touch you once again...

Happenings

Yesterday I saw:

  • a man carrying a cage with two canaries inside
  • a woman with a goose in her bag
  • a horse in a truck

I couldn't help smiling.

Inventions and ghosts

"Laws of nature are human INVENTIONS, like ghosts. Laws of logic, of mathematics are also human inventions, like ghosts. The whole blessed thing is a human invention, including the idea that it ISN’T a human invention. The world has no existence whatsoever outside the human imagination…. Your common sense is nothing more than voices of thousands and thousands of these ghosts from the past."
