    when I'm staring at the wall
    and my soul feels so wrong
    may I see your face
    so I can feel in place
    since you're all that I long

    when I'm waiting for your call
    longing to feel strong
    may I hear your voice
    so I'll make the right choice
    since you're all that I long

    when I'm sleeping all alone
    shivering and cold
    come into my dream
    and end this silent scream

    love me till the end
    and do it all again

    talk to me like a friend

    love me till the end
    and do it all again

    kiss me in my bed

    and I'll tell you like a friend

    love me till the end
    and do it all again

    When, upon that sunset eve, I can see the cloudless blue
    beneath
    is the same when as on that lonely day,
    that comes no heart to hold.

    No hands to hold,
    no texts to bold,
    nor hilight in the headlights
    of the sparkle in my eyes.

    You are that sparkle in my iris where grows a shadow empty:
    hollow pupil of my teachings, learn but don't apply.

    You are that butterfly I ate last night when I saw you see me from across the room:
    not quite present was our greeting, but I saw in you a cloudless sky.

    Wings for me to fly upon in that sky in you in metaphor,
    for all agents of my temporal corroding are contained;
    exhaled before the words can form.

    I stood there in the tub between
    An insignificant mosquito
    Bouncing off the tiles
    Feeling with its hairy legs
    The smooth wet surface of the shower wall
    And a soggy moth
    Spiraling bloatedly toward the drain

    Standing there in the shower
    I began to loose the tension
    Lying in my well-slept joints
    But when fully-stretched I found
    An aching in the center
    The dull weight of bones and flesh
    Bearing down on the scaffolding beneath

    And suddenly,
    in a haunting moment of sobriety,
    you realize,
    that there is no such thing as
    escape.
    that the only moments you cling to are
    those islands of mindless refuge from the
    black sea of your thoughts.

    And those hours you spend,
    with your fingers laced tight
    praying that the white of your knuckles
    would purge your soul,

    And those journals you hide,
    overrun with jagged scrawls,
    that seem to mean less and less,
    the more you
    carve them into the
    ivory sheets,

    And those hollow fragments of advice
    you hurl out of your lungs,
    to your own pale face
    in the mirror,

    are fucking useless.

    "all that seems is but one dreamers dream"

    I just got a sweet dSLR today and couldn't be happier about the purchase. Unfortunately it's not only raining, but I also don't have a memory card for it yet, soooo, fail on getting to use it tonight.

    Awesome Quark, which one did you bought? I recently bought a Canon T2i with a 50mm F/1.8 II lens and I absolutely love it! I will upload some photos soon, share some pics with us as soon as you get that memory card in your hands! :)

    I got the lower model to that one, a Canon Rebel XS, with the 18-55mm IS lens. It was the most basic one you can get, both in terms of the lens and camera, but it was a hell of a deal and I'm pretty broke, so I was pretty ecstatic to get it.

    I've got a memory card for tonight, and I am for sure going to go apeshit with it and hopefully get some first nice shots to share. Do the same Miguel, we never get to see your work here anymore! I know you mostly do dub music and such now, but you must do SOMETHING artistic on the side.

    You were one of my art idols growing up, you gotsta

    Edit: I just realized this isn't the IRL thread... :S. I'll replace these posts with poetry.

    Oh this world, watch and listen:
    The enemy came coveting my position,
    I shall fight with Truth and defences
    And if I die, I'll take him with me!
    Say it with me, say it with me:
    God , God , God is greatest!
    God is above any attacker!
    الله أكبر الله اكبر
    قولوا معي الويل للمستعمر
    وﷲ فوق الغادر المتجبر
    الله أكبر يا بلادي كبري
    وخذي بناصية المغير ودمري
    قولوا معي قولوا معي
    الله الله الله أكبر
    الله فوق المعتدي
    God is Great God is Great
    Say With Me Woe To The Enemy :
    And God is Over The Invader Egotist,
    God Greatest My Country Say with Me :
    And Behold of Enemys Forelock and Destroy it
    Say it with me, say it with me:
    God , God , God is the Greatest
    God is above any attacker!
