to you.from me.

It’s sad that the air is the only
thing we share.

No matter how close we get to each other
there is always air between us.

It’s also nice that we share the air.
No matter how far apart we are,
the air links us.

Yoko Ono, from Lisson Gallery brochure ‘67

life is not what one lived

but what one remembers

and how one remembers it

in order to recount it.

gabriel garcia marquez

well i am here for your safe keeping. don’t you know that love is fleeting? hold me close and tell me how you felt, where all you dreams were leading.

you are the secret only i know. you are the moon outside my window. you are the piece that made me whole again. will you hold me until then?

until then, erin lang

FOR YOU.

sitting next to my bed. they are the brightest thing in my room.

making me melt

i found a reason

oh i do believe - in all the things you say - what comes is better than what came before

cat power

a line from a sweet song i just listened to

you don’t have to chase it.

... you can't leave the past on a page

but we're two dots on a map

and it seems that without fail

those inches in between us

are really miles when drawn to scale

the russian futurists

this is how i feel now. i want it to pass.

The build up

Lasted for days

Lasted for weeks

Lasted too long.

Lady,i will touch you with my mind.

Touch you and touch and touch

until you give

me suddenly a smile,shyly obscene

(lady i will

touch you with my mind.)Touch

you,that is all,

lightly and you utterly will become

with infinite ease

the poem which i do not write.

ee cummings

sweet dreams till sunbeams find you, sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you, but in your dreams whatever they be, dream a little dream of me

memory comes when memory's old
i am never the first to know
following the stream up North
where do people like us float

if we were shades

who walked here once

over the heather, over the shining stones

fresh in our skin and bones

with all of the time to come

left to be us

- carol ann duff

my view.

...would have myself delivered to your hands.

you would know me by the way my words curve up

around the page and form a poem i could not read out loud

ms. gibson

For many days, now, I have gone about quite dumb with something for which “happiness” must be too mild a term.

hart crane

indeed the thin, impalpable, faltering light, picked up as though little rivers were running through the room, collecting little pools here and there, lacquers a pattern on the surface of the night itself.

jun'ichiro tanizaki

every day, i'm away from you, shakes me up inside, i wanna be near you, know that you are here, laying just next to me, how happy we'd both be

vetiver

from you. to me.

the sea

the breeze

the hillsides dressed

in red october leaves

couldn't keep

my mind off you

and your everything

the sea

and it isn't the way

you hold the gates

and it isn't the way

you carry the weight

but the way it feels

to walk with you

in the rain...

you see

what it means to be free

you're a setting sun

for everyone...

to see"

red october by jbm

amazing

from you. to me.

...nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals the power of your intense fragility:whose texture compels  me with the colour of it's countries, rendering death and forever with each breathing..."

ee cummings

Haruki Murakami

I was feeling pretty good

Thought I finally understood

How to be free, free, free, free

Like the birds, like the bees

Like the wind in the trees

...

I wonder if you were aware

How much

You rock my boat

dntel + mia doi todd

nothing but love and happiness.

kisses and hugs and more hugs your way.

from you. to me.

butterfly, baby i still have my doubts about you 'cause

butterfly, 'cause baby i can't find nothing bad about you and

butterfly, you mess me up, you make my heart double beat and 

butterfly, i don't know how it is you got inside of me

but you're in there now..

do you happen to know where we are?

i happen to think we’ve gone too far,

but i won’t say this out loud.

you seem to know you’re raising hell.

then suddenly the sky seems nearer.

turn to me, your arms are clear.

you say to me quietly

i’m so glad you’re here,

i’m so glad you’re near me.

so hand to hand

you’ll find me here.

erin lang

when i dream, i dream of you.

that which is dreamed can never be lost, can never be undreamed.

3- floating in a dream

4> warm smiles

5| the smell of rain in the woods

6] imperfections in perfection

7: a simple life

8_ you

a little wish

all the stars may shine bright

all the clouds may be white

but when you smile

ohh how I feel so good

that I can hardly wait

to hold you

enfold you

portishead

waking up to a sun filled room this morning

got lost in the maze that leads to you to you

unspoken words leave me miles away from you

hold that smile

that's all i need

don't say a thing

that's all I need

you're the only one that turns my head

maybe someday we'll say hello

caroline

Are you really here or am I dreaming
I can't tell dreams from truth
for it's been so long since I have seen you
I can hardly remember your face anymore
When I get really lonely
and the distance causes our silence
I think of you smiling

the swell season

even when you’re on your own, you’ll never be alone, any time

there is a wonder in your eyes. here’s hope that wonder never dies. you are the wonder inside my eyes

you are the wonder, you are the one

color of clouds

you are a dream.

you understand me in a way that no one else does.

you bring a calmness over me but you make my heart race.

you know exactly how to make me smile.

you are able to caress me with your words.

you ramble in a way that i love and understand.

you make a hard day easy.

you are a mystery i want to unfold.

you inspire me to look at things in a new way.

you don’t have expectations of me.

you awaken a part of me that i didn’t know i had.

you find beauty in life.

you tell stories that i would love to have come true.

you make my mind wander to place that i don’t want to leave.

you mean so much to me.

thank you for everything you are.

this will never get old to me

and baby, the way you move me it’s crazy. it’s like, you see right through me, you make it easier, you please me and you don’t even have to try /// ray lamontagne, you are the best thing

very much

when i think of you

i wish time would stand still

061009 , 12:53 PM PST / 9:53 PM DST, sunset in paris

\

slow down, lie down, remember it's just you i need. don't sell out, bow out, remember how this used to be.

i just want you closer, is that alright? baby let's get closer tonight.

grant my last request, and just let me hold you. don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me. sure I can accept that we're going nowhere, but one last time let's go there, lay down beside me.

paolo nutini

sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, i’m not goind to make it, but you laugh inside remembering all the times you’e felt that way.

charles bukowski

you are the best part of songs i love.

and when i asked you how you were, i meant i missed you more than ever before

all i can do, if i feel this way, is trust that somewhere in the universe, there’s a you that feels the same.

‘i wrote this for you’

well, my kind's, your kind

i’ll stay the same.

pack up.

don’t stray...

i love the way you’re mine, don’t go, you make it all so fine.

a little peek into my life (2)

i felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery, air, mountains, trees, people. i thought this is what it is to be happy.

and in that moment i swear we were infinite. /// the perks of being a wallflower

you are the best part of my dreams and the best part of my days.

i never want to not know you.

from you. to me.

"in my sky at twilight you are like a cloud and your form and color are the way i love them."

-pablo neruda

i see trees of green, red roses too

i see them bloom, for me and for you

and I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

i see skies of blue, clouds of white

bright blessed days, dark sacred nights

and i think to myself, what a wonderful world.

the colors of a rainbow, so pretty in the sky

are also on the faces of people going by

i see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do

they’re really sayin, i love you.

i hear babies cry, i watch them grow

they’ll learn much more, than Ill never know

and i think to myself, what a wonderful world.

wonderful world /// louis armstrong

two views of my sunset - i thought of you

who knows if the moon's

a balloon,coming out of a keen city

in the sky--filled with pretty people?

(and if you and i should

get into it,if they

should take me and take you into their balloon,

why then

we'd go up higher with all the pretty people

than houses and steeples and clouds:

go sailing

away and away sailing into a keen

city which nobody's ever visited,where

always

       it's

            Spring)and everyone's

in love and flowers pick themselves

ee cummings &, N, &: SEVEN POEMS, VII

a little peek into my life (3)

don’t worry, you’re here, close to my heart.

It's all I have to bring today –
This, and my heart beside –
This, and my heart, and all the fields –
And all the meadows wide –
Be sure you count – should I forget
Some one the sum could tell –
This, and my heart, and all the Bees
Which in the Clover dwell.

emily dickinson

this only works if we are both at work...

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

i carry your heart with me /// ee cummings

a full view...

this only works if we are both at work... it works today

i have to say that i especially like the way you feel next to me.

and in came a heat wave , a merciful save

and you choose, you chose , poetry over prose

a map is more unreal

than where you've been

or how you feel

and it's impossible to tell

how important someone was

and what you might have missed out on

and how he might have changed it all

and how you might have changed it all for him

and how you might have changed it all

and how he might have changed it all for you

feist

from you. to me.

to let the wind grow

within you as well,

until the snow falls,

until this day and every day are one,

the wind and the past,

the cold falls,

finally we are alone,

and finally we will be silent.

gracias.

pablo neruda

she led me to

the first floor,

she sent me to the clouds,

she showed me

the stars.

in her room, infectious perfumes

on the walls the pictures were all parallel

...

always losing herself a bit, in the clouds.

always losing herself a bit, in the stars.

thievery corporation

elle m'a emmene

au premiere etage,

elle m'a envoye dans les nuages,

elle m'a emmene

dans les etoiles

dans sa chambre, odour caprisieuse

sur les muirs des images au paralleles

...

toujours un peu perdu dans les nuages

toujours un peu perdu dans les etoiles

thievery corporation

to wish on...

from you. to me.

to wake up next to you. and confirm that the images I saw on the back of my eyelids seconds before, have all been made real.

i wrote this for you

it has been far too long...

when i get a little scared

when i jerk away from holding hands with you

i know these habits hurt important parts of you

remember when i was sweet and unexplainable?

nothing like this person...

tegan and sara

if i lay here

if i just lay here

would you lie with me

and just forget the world?

forget what we're told

before we get too old

show me a garden that's

bursting into life

let's waste time

...

just know that these things

will never change for us at all

if i lay here

if i just lay here

would you lie with me

and just forget the world?

snow patrol

your slightest look easily will unclose me

though i have closed myself as fingers,

you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens

(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

ee cummings

if we hold onto each other

life would be so sweet

if we hold onto each other

life would be complete

all this time winter was coming

all this time summer air was blowing

all this time leaves of fall were stirring

all this time winter was coming

we can't hold onto each other

life would be so sweet

we can't hold onto each other

life would be complete

caroline

there's something in the way that the words come out of your mouth

they seem to come out so slow

you're an dictionary without an ending

the book that I like to read

...

there's something in the way that your stories break me

i feel that i really understand

you're a dream that i would like to sleep through

the page that i don't want to turn

the go find

take these hands of mine

pin them underneath your hands

and kiss me again.

something was missing last night...

...it was you.

sunset at the north pole

wouldn’t it be nice to walk by buildings like this? (paris)

i like my body when it is with your

i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,

...

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new

ee cummings 1925

if you’re ever lying on a beach with 80 billion grains of sand beneath you, 700 thousand ocean waves before you, 60 million stars stretched out about you, and you’re still not impressed, i want you to think about this. the light you see reflected from the stars is over one million years old. but then just before you start to feel like a mere blip in the gigantic scheme of things, please remember this: yes you’re small, but you’re also irreplaceable and invaluable and miraculous. those stars don’t have anything on you.

remember this?

it is still so nice.

i simply want you.

i just read this again and it made me think of you.

:)

you were closer to the moon and stars today.

it feels good to say that.

let’s try to find this place someday. and when we find it let’s get a sailboat and anchor it  near the others.

and then let’s lie on the bow and watch the clouds roll by.

in no way is this related to the holiday that just passed.

:)

ha.

you make me happy every day.

i adore you.

i like this quote. it seems fitting for both of us right now.

A FEW MONTHS OF YOU + ME

100109    make your lives extraordinary

100309    everyday something magic happens

100409    investigating dreamland

100509    what do we do now?

100609    where i end and you begin

100809    he saw himself moving through a city of desire and intent

101209    i’ll see what tomorrow brings

101409    and over them this aflame with dreams incredible is

101709    their happiness is transparent

101809    can we wake up like this over and over?

102109    a trace of history   

102209    it’s you. you and me.

102409    i want to remember what this feels like

103009    as if you didn’t already know

103109    i lost control for a second

110109    you look at me, it’s like you hit me with lighting

110309    walking in places we used to walk

110509    where do i end and you begin?

110609    so we burst into colors

111309    parallel lines

111409    perfectly imperfect

111509    if you could do anything tomorrow, what would it be?

112109    let go twice

112309    the construction of dreams

112409    i’m definitely falling

112809    i felt like i was on fire

121009    i shut my eyes and dream

121309    he scraped to let the sun in

121409    there were stars, they burned my eyes

121509    all-too-rare

122109    early morning

122509    it’s light now. i’m going to stop

123009    a devise, a surface, a skin

010710    you speak my thoughts

011110    my border is borderless

012010    mellifluously

012110    it felt perfect

012210    lost space

012410    words are so inadequate

012810    the rest is silence

012910    romantic and lovely and silly and wonderful

013010    and i don’t want to go home

013110    it’s more a secret

020710    foreverism

021110    the seventh level of interpretation

021310    step into the future

021410    the light changes perceptibly   

022010    physical pleasure to do so

030110    you make it easier when life gets hard

030310    poetic and offbeat charm

030810    wonder if they know there’s no limit

030910    i'm not only a dreamer

031010    that’s right, shame

031310    i adore you

031410    i’m not without my eyes open

032010    extraordinary doesn’t even begin to describe

032110    pragmatic utopia

032610    purity in feelings

032810    all i want is you

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I CAN EXPRESS.

I LOVE US MORE THAN I CAN EXPRESS.

"i would say that music is the easiest means in which to express, but since words are my talent, i must try to express clumsily in words what the pure music would have done better."

-william faulkner

i tell you in words often, but this time i’ll let the music do it.

this is another song i listened to on repeat that summer.

okay... a few words..

i’m so happy that we are next to each other now.

i feel like we get closer each day

and i’m completely enjoying the process.

i feel at peace when i’m with you, like i can just be.

i love you.

oooowwwweeee!

:)

Come with me

My love

To the sea

The sea of love

I want to tell you

how much

I love you

Do you remember

When we met

sea of love

cat power

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Of night and light and the half-light,

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

"He Wishes For Cloths of Heaven" by W B Yeats

V

the spring has been exquisite and the

summer may be beautiful.    But,

tell me with eyes quiteshut

did you love me,will you love me

and perfectly so forth;i see,

kissing you-only kissing

you(it is stil spring

and summer may be beautiful)shall we

say years?    O let us say it,girl

to boy smiling while the moments kill

us gently and infinitely.

And believe(do not believe)there’ll

be a time when even these leaves will

crawl expensively sway.    My lady.
