ISO - "Love"


Excuses

Explanations

You know better than that

Take a break

I just did

Just another drop

Too many

In the bucket


Why don’t you stop

Why don’t you listen

This is important 

You know where we’ll end up

So what?

I know you don’t want to go there


This would be much easier if I had someone to talk to

You have me

Someone real

Yes I am

Sure, I guess

You know it 

I’m here aren’t I?

I’m always here

No matter where we are

So I thought

So I thought

So you thought

ISO - "Something You Should Know"

Is that I love roses more than any other flower. I love the way they smell and look, The colors they come in, The way they bloom in the sunlight, The browning edges of the petals I have pressed.

So forgive me if I cry, It’s just that the roses mean so much to me, And I fear I will spend my whole life searching,  For a rose without thorns.

The Aquarium

She didn’t seem to notice him, but none of the faceless people ever did. “He’s been out for three days now,” the faceless woman said, speaking into her phone. The sound resonated through the otherwise empty bus, despite the fact that the woman had no mouth. Luke didn’t think about it too much. The odd detail didn’t seem to stay in his mind for that long. “He should be fine,” she continued, reassuring the person on the other side of the call. “He’s in stable condition.” The woman lifted a tattooed arm to move her blond hair from her face. Chrysanthemums. Luke wasn’t sure where he recognized the flowers inked on the woman’s arm from, but as always, he couldn’t be bothered with it. The bus rumbled to stop, fluorescent lights flickering. Luke looked into the black of the night out the window. Guess this is my stop . As Luke walked pa...

Just a Person Doing People Things.

    Just a person doing people things. That's all any of us really are. We're all like animals in a safari with the internet as our observation deck. Whether I'm the animal or the observation deck is for you to decide. We all view the world in different ways, and I respect that.  At least I can make my observation deck pretty.     I feel that we have certain experiences, lenses if you will, that we look at the world through, some of them rarer than others and others more common than we think. We can never be exactly sure what others see through their lenses, as no two people have the exact same set, but I want to know. I want to know how other people feel, how they think. I want to gain that perspective. And I want to give others my perspective too. Lend them my lenses, whoever "them" ends up being.     We're all unique in our own way. That's human. Yet sometimes that uniqueness is what can make us feel like rejects or outcasts. By understanding each o...
