Home

He asked me " where do you want to go?" I would have said 'Take me home' But then I remembered I didn't know where it's. For most people home is a place with a beloved one And for some it's a shelter from the cold. For me it's more of a feeling. The feeling you get when you hear your favorite song for the first time Or that giddy feeling you get seeing your crush Or the warmth you feel from a stranger's kindness. But that would have been too hard to explain... So I said " The Golden Gate. " Have you ever felt like you belonged nowhere?

4 • For who once lived there

Never-ending lands ahead, these giant rocks covered in green I see on the other side of the coast, are what once was a house. Destroyed by the wind, erased by the water, just remainings that remind home. The grass is where ancients were used to lay their heads. Walking through the sites for who once lived there, just ruins of stones it may seem. Nothing replaces the campfires after each storm.

1 • Ghost Town

The ferry approached the port after the first rays of dawn. The wind rose while we dressed up cosy; The town was still sleeping so we sneaked around the silent streets. I looked through the windows to find a sign of life, when the wind was crawling through the cracks of the wood and the water was hitting the reef. The coloured flags hanging all over the main lane, I thought of walking in a ghost town,

II - The bridge is still looking

Up, the train down, the sea loving the salty sound the salty tears on your face Walking down at the beach with our noses up. The bridge is still looking the seagull floating through the damp clouds It's still looking from the past to the future Crossed like wrong words on an old paper that you wrote as love letters.

XVII - The Garden Keeper

Sorrounded by roses, the garden keeper is working hard to keep them safe. The large footpaths now look empty, the blossoms are late this year. He craves the time when the gates are closing. He can hear the silence of the garden, just some echoes from the city. He loves and trusts plants, not like people. Taking care of them is worth it, he thinks. They grow with love and water. He sees the results of his work.

XII - The Potting Shed

Shhh... You are in the potting shed, where the eldest are chilling and the children seem so far. A quiet place to enjoy, in front of a cup of tea, or a strawberry tart. It's the shelter in which I escape from the noise, organising tables, looking at the view. Every touch is a memory of someone who enjoyed the moment. I can see the sea right after the green hills, a blend of peace and fresh air. What a nice ending of the day looking at the august sun disappearing between the trees.

That's The Problem

I don't know how to deal with anger That's caused by myself If it were with another person, You could argue with them, Or get violent If you get mad at yourself, And argue with yourself That's not "normal" But No one gives advice to make peace with yourself No one is open minded enough to think about it That's the problem Getting mad at yourself is like Boiling water Your optimistic and pessimistic self are arguing Turning the handle from high to low

Crackles

Something will happen. Nobody knows what. There's nobody to know, There is never no thought. But now there's something... Slowly pulling itself together. In the empty car parking lot... The mind incomplete, The weight of a feather... But that state won't last forever.

The first thing you should know about me is that I'm not you. A lot more will make sense after that.

Loveing

When we fall in love, we get the this strange feeling in our chest. when we get our heart broken it feels the same so why, fall In Love? Is it Because we need the pain? I will never have answer to this question But I don't want one

Pain limit

Pain belongs to life? Yes that's true, But how much, is the question, An answer, we'll never get.
