Dear Moon

What more could I do but sigh, smile at the beautiful sadness of it all and then begin another work and begin another day.
Weft and Warp, Space and Time
Every day she writes you a letter with a pencil that has no lead,
and addresses it to a future house, that never does get built…
We are lost now…
But every evening, when I close my eyes,
I return to the place where you found me.
Going a different direction to reach the same sky.
Her body is an empty house once bought by a man for the price of love. The man used to enter with care and take pride in decorating it with expensive trinkets.
Soon he came and went as he pleased. He locked the door always but left the shutters open so as to let curious people look in but never enter. Soon he stopped coming altogether. Still he would not sell the house.
The house grows tired, old and has become so cold as there is no one to light the fire anymore. The dampness is rising and the foundations are crumbling.
It is a shame that no one ever comes to save her, and discover the beauty that lay within neglect.
The beauty in neglect.
I was so cold that night and the firewood was no more.
All that was left to burn in my little room was an old wooden chair and my paintings; the ones I painted for you, the ones I painted of you, and in every brushstroke my memory of you and I.
So I carried the old wooden chair and sat it by the fireplace, gathered the precious paintings and offered them to the hearth.
I sat on the chair and lit my last match- An Inferno…
You kept me so warm that night.
‘The Buried Life’
The beautiful written exchange…
A photo of my grandmother.
While I am here, waiting patiently at home, I am not sure where else to look, but to the sky…
Where is that girl…
She was me…
but I am not her…
I was her…
but she is not me.
Another finished today…
Insanity knocks as constant as the beat of my heart and as enduring as the march of time. Alone and needy today, I chose to open the door to Insanity, earnest he enters, and Reality whispers her warning, the struggle is brief.
How beautiful Insanity is as he entertains my deepest desire:
to be close to that which will forever remain distant from me.
The songs have ceased. I had hoped it were the interlude I was waiting in, but this one has gone far too long now. Perhaps this time it was never an interlude, perhaps it really were the end of it all.
She cast the same shadow of a woman she'd not yet been, she was not of this time and wanted so desperately to go home, but the door was locked. Had she not got what she came back for?
