Live It

There are forgotten dreams you never thought you would forget.
There are unspoken words you never imagined you would hold back.
There is sadness in every heart.
There are things in this world you never knew existed.
There are feelings you never felt before.
There is beauty in the mundane.
We forget to live.
We forget that life is a miracle.

Here's To The Future

The future. It's right there.
But we're still not there yet. You know nothing of it.
Do not let the future steal your present.
You live now. And only now.

Sweet Surrender

If what I feel for you is not love, then give it a special name for it's very beautiful.

17 seconds

If I forget the day I first kissed you, then I forgot all about you.
But remember, today is the day that you kiss me.

Some Kind Of Miracle

I believe that unicorns exit in a far away sparkly forest.
A butterfly will follow you if you're in love.
A fairytale could one day be your true reality.
Volcanoes are entrances into the fiery underworld.
Fireworks are magic from the skies.
And a shooting star is a wish sent to the heavens.

Staring At The Sun

My path led me to a wall.
I see the streak of sunshine that no one else sees.
It touches my cold skin & I know it's there.
I also know that I'll get to the other side.
Someday. Somehow.

Scars & Souvenirs

Stuck inside a glass box. I can see the outside, it's beautiful. it's not my reality. I want to break the glass and reach out. It's gonna hurt my hand. it's gonna hurt.

Limbo

I'm here with you & this is the real world. It's so tough. How do you do it?

Beyond The Silver Glass

There's this place where time can not touch & you don't need to hurry.
You don't even need to think.
A place where you can just lay there on the grass & do nothing at all.
Where you can watch the stars for as long as you want.
Where you can meet a friend & laugh for as much as you want.
Where you can sit in the arms of your lover & do absolutely nothing at all.
Where you can lay there all by yourself & not feel lonely.
Where you can climb a tree & see the view from the top.
Where you can listen to the sound of the waves & feel the breeze going through your hair.
Where you can collect sea shells & throw them back to the sea.
Where you can hear the music coming from the sky.
Where you can remember moments that make you smile & you do.
When you can read about a legacy that never ends.
A place that has no ends.
A place where no one is leaving.
Where you can ride a bicycle & peddle away like a child.
Where you can run, jump, dance & sing as loud as you can.
Where you can do everything except waiting for there's nothing else left to wait for.
Where you can think of the other world go by without you in it.
Think of the people rushing through the best moments of their lives.
Rushing through it all.
Left with mere memories.
There's time & memories fade away.
But it's a place where memories don't fade.
Where memories go no where.
Where memories are your here & now... forever.

Scream 'light'

It's pitch-black. It's moonless. It's starless.
Bleak & grim.
It's gloomy. It's dusky. It's shadowy.
You're always in doubt.
This place is awfully familiar. I've been here before.
You walk & you talk... in the dark.
Flash.
You look up. See the light.
The light has become a distant memory.
"Light"
You're in doubt.
This place is awfully familiar. I've been here before.
Inhale. Exhale.

Rushes From The Heart

You disappoint me sometimes.
I thought you would try.
Try again.
Try harder.
You give in. Just like everyone else.
We grow older & the passion of the rebellious teenager leaves us.
This is your story.
Having it easy will give no story.
The things you fight for defines you
Hold on to that nice dream, even if it hurts.
Time flies by.
At least you'd then know you didn't give up.
At least you'd then know that there's nothing that you left undone.
You'll be there.
And I'll be here.
And we'll have our story to tell.

The Pheonix Inside

You savour every special moment, you know it could be your last.
You live.
Every moment becomes special & you don't miss a thing.

Life Force

A new you is about to spring forth.

If this not Love, it's Madness

I am melancholy when thou art absent;
look like an ass when thou art present;
wake for thee, when I should sleep,
and even dream of thee. When I am awake...
If this is not love, it is madness, and then it is pardonable...
William Congreve
(1670-1729)

Tongue-tied

It's the story of hello/goodbye.
And the writing on the walls.
Are all the things you see once you're about to leave.
The good.
The bad.
The memories.
Now you've seen the writing on the walls.

Mess It Up

Photography by: Jean-Jacques DECLAMPE

Mind drifting.
Somewhere else.
Where I'm not. But I'd rather be.
Slow.
Fast.
You blink. It takes time.
You give in.
Head relaxed.
And the tree is staring back at you.
Twirl.
Your mind drifts again.
New ride.
It's a beautiful tree.
No traps this time.
What's in is what's out.
And twirl.

What If?

Photography by: Jean-Jacque DECLAMPE

It's either red or blue.
Live in search for truth. The search for 'real' truth.
The known.
Red or blue.
Doubt it. Question it. Risk it.
The unknown.
Red or blue.
Live the life you know. What you believe you know.
Or gamble your life on a reality you've never tasted.
Red or blue.

Dodge


It's time to talk.
The talk you played in your head. So many times.
The one you're still figuring out. The one you can't figure out.
You've been told to speak your mind.
Your mind.
Mind.
Thinking.
No words. Makes no sense.
Even to you.
Especially to you.
Let it wait.
The clock is ticking & no one's waiting.
It's your turn to talk.
Blank.

Your Stand

Photo by: Jean-Jacques DECLAMPE

Too big to fall.
Head hits the floor. Eyes blink.
Things are different.
Looking around. You're small.
Know the right relationship. Between you & the things around you.
Stand up again. And your stand on things have changed.

Drift Away

Too cold.
Been standing here for long.
All the same.
The sounds. The familiar hum.
All the same.
The glowing headlights.
Shadows fly by.
It's one of those rainy busy days.
When everyone is minding their own business... a bit too much.

Love Shoots

Photo by: Jean-Jacque DECLAMPE

You protect yourself in so many ways until one day you forget the reason. The shot will get to you. It always does. You saw it coming. The universe listens & you were right.

Light/Dark

There comes a time when the feelings that were once so alive freeze.
The feelings of fire, they fade out.
The open heart grows colder & closes up.
You become detached. The touch that you longed for stiffens you up. It's strange.
It reminds you of your guilt. It reminds you of your shame.
It reminds you that you're flawed, too.
It reminds you of the things you accepted when you thought you had no choice.
It reminds you of your pain. That touch is painful. It stabs you in the gut.
That soft touch shatters you. It reminds you that you're already broken.
It reminds you that you've been very wrong.

I'll Look You In The Eyes

Anonymously waiting...

Even When Everything Seems Utterly Pointless

You can hide all you want. All day long. Or you can take a walk. And return to your hiding.

When You're No Longer In Awe

There's always a way out. Out of this place you feel sucked in. You're not trapped. You know you can make your way out. But you wait. A sign. Sometimes there are no signs. Sometimes that's a sign. Look around. When the beauty disappears and everything looks the same, you'll find it, it glows. That's your way out.

It's A Short Ride After All

It will go by so fast... too fast. Savour every second. And try to remember it as it really was.

If I Fell

Things will come right.

Think Big

Scream it out loud on the wall.

Distractions

Wherever I am, I want to be somewhere else.

You've Been Found

Even when you're lost, you're somewhere, you just don't know it. Get to know it.

A Hard Day's Night

Hurt. Doesn’t make sense. No words.

Turn away. Look ahead. Blurred.

Words trapped. Choked up.

Air. Can’t breath.

Chest heavy. Heart full.

Hurt. It's a feeling.

Hide in bed. Head on pillow.

Alone. You are alone.

No glory. It’s not romantic.

If you want to cry, just cry. And you cry.

Doesn’t stop. And you cry. And it hurts.
