Twinkle

Twinkle twinkle little star,
Why are you so very far?

Up above the world so high,
Well beyond our loudest cry.

Twinkle twinkle little star...

How I wonder who I am.

Experiment in Absence

I took away the heat, and I became cold.
Winter is my blanket now.

I took away the pounding drums, and all was quiet.
But who's that whispering?

I took away the light, and darkness fell.
Let the games begin.

Time is inconsequential.
Absence is an unfamiliar medium.

I start to panic.
My pen starts to shake as the shivering intensifies,
and the silence starts to wear on my nerves.

In a moment of weakness I try and open my eyes.
To let the light back in, drown in it if I can.
That's when I realize...

My eyes were open already.
The night, starless, had made the choice for me.
No turning back.

And so I waited. Moments passed.
Time is inconsequential.
Reevalulation.

I took away the heat,
Winter is my blanket now.
I can feel my lungs fight to boil the midnight air.

I took away the pounding drums.
But who's that whispering?
I can hear pen scratch against pad, and my own breathing shallow.
Somewhere on owl "coo's", but I can't quite make out what he's saying.

I took away the light.
Surely, the games is on.

My fingers numb, tiredness crawls into my bones.
Surely none of this is legible now, but I will remember.
I can see the words, pages turning in my head.
I brush my fingers over the words and feel wet ink.
I had forgotten that feeling.

Absence. Absence is a funny medium.
And you know, I think I might like it.
It's a much needed start.

*Note*

I took these words exactly as they were written on the pages, or as near as I could tell anyways.

Also, a little hot cocoa goes a long way to revitalize sore cold fingers :)

Back to the heat, and the pounding drums, and the light.

I hear the owl again. Wordy little avian...

I miss you all.

Words like violence.

Drifting, swiftly.... wandering through infinity.

My mind tries to breach the pollution of life, but sanctuary, I fear, is a forgotten place.

No thought is pure, every synapse fired by an alien source.

Words like violence,
notes bearing knives...

I wonder how anyone could hope to have an original thought in such a stimulation-driven world.

If ever there was a time to envy the deaf and blind, I envy you now.

For I have seen true beauty, and heard the modest music of nature... But never will I know the sound of my own thoughts congealing, and never will I see the the evolution of an idea in my own minds eyes.

Those days are done for me, unless fortuitous discovery grants me a new sanctuary.

And until such time I sing...

Words like violence.

Living on a Prayer (12/12!!)

There is ONE extra special important line in this song haha!! We're HALF WAY THERE!!! Gah I can't even begin to realize what that means haha!! Two years of college, of hard work, and the best part.... two more, and its all us!! We can do what we want, live where we want... anything we want is right there in front of us!! Camaro's, puppy dogs, funky painted walls... haha you know I can't wait for that ;)

Just 2 more years... that's it :) But first, I have to get home for this summer... which is most certainly nothing I want to miss!! Soon sweetheart... And with plans for plenty of entertaining things!!

And that wraps up CD XII... Half way there!!! :)

L-O-V-E (11/12)

You had to know this was coming haha... I mean, I did spend an entire day or so humming it ;) So here are the lyrics, and you can consider yourself I didn't serenade this song with you like my friends wanted me to haha!! L-O-V-E you!!!

L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

(trumpet instrumental)

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Yes, love was made for me and you

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you

Sick Muse (10/12)

Oh how I do love Metric haha... damn weird girl bands :) Anyways, this song helps fill out the "well rounded music selection" criteria I hold myself too when I decide to make you another other other other other other other other other other other other other (thats 12 right?) CD :) Which is important!! Because like I've always said, you don't have to like all of it... but I damn well better make sure you like something haha!!

But yeah, I *think* this song represents that typical "love sick" feeling haha... I say think because you've informed before that songs weren't about what I thought they were haha. Either way, at times like this, when we're SOO close to each other but not quite there, songs like this mean much more!! Because I absolutely can't wait to see you haha... as much as I have here, nothing compares to you :) I think it's just because you know me to well haha...

So I hope you enjoy, and if not, there are 11 other chances that you will!!

Only You (9/12)

Only You by Kaskade (ft. Haley)

It's you, only you can be everything to me
Only you.
How I'd try to deny or hide?
Put away my pride, only you

I'll repeat this phrase through all my days,
With my last breath, only you
I'll repeat this phrase through all my days,
With my last breath, only you

Only you (repeat this phrase) - x8

And it shows, because my heart beats so,
I will always know, only you.
Beautiful, so beautiful,
All this love is full, only you

I'll repeat this phrase through all my days,
With my last breath, only you
I'll repeat this phrase through all my days,
With my last breath, only you

Only you (repeat this phrase) - x8

Appropriate reasons for including this song? First, the simple (repeated a bajillion times) lyrics fit quite well :) I mean... they aren't exactly mysterious to figure out haha... "Only you"... aka you are my hot chick, my only hot chick, the only hot chick in the history of all the chicks... and that should be pretty straight forward haha!!

Second reason... what's a playlist that doesn't have a little techno in it? ;) Not as fun as some of the other techno songs with the really deep base and the parts that go "wub wub" and all that, but still necessary haha!! So here it is, song number 9 haha.
