"for the longest time..."

"I have been a fool for lesser things..."

I have been listening to Billy Joel's "For the longest time" on repeat for about an hour now, and somehow I am still not tired of it.

As the next two weeks are beginning, a need something to help me relax a little, and that is what music does for me. Specific songs have such a calming effect, it is amazing.

I am currently writing a poetry analysis for my American Literature and got distracted by Billy Joel and this one song - which has inspired to me to write poetry, so I have been doing that instead of my analysis, but I will get back to the very shortly.

As embarrassing as it is, I have been singing at the top of my lungs for about twenty minutes to random songs because my roommate is not here and it is sort of a stress relieve - laugh it you want, but I promise it helps.


an artist's touch april 29

I feel alive when we -
touch,
as simple as a bed turned down
my heart is turned, piece by piece

a rainbow of watercolors
entangled on a single brush
a collage of feelings
in tune with an artist's hand,
a writer's dictionary
on spot with how I think
no need to even question my dreams -
you know them all

I wish to paint the misunderstandings,
the insecurities -
layed out on one canvas for all the world to see,
not developed by a professional
an amateur, possessive of feelings

covered in thought
spread from hands to paper
made in an everlasting print.
