Those ones

''The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn, or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like a fabulous yellow roman candle, exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww'! ''

Jack Kerouac

Distance

Long distance by ~Grigari

''Γιατί αλλάζουν οι άνθρωποι και χάνονται τόσο εύκολα?''

Γιατί οι αλλαγές είναι συνήθως αναπόφευκτες..
Γιατί η αλλαγή δε χρειάζεται πάντα να είναι προς το χειρότερο ή προς το καλύτερο..απλά διαφορετικό..
Γιατί ό,τι κι αν πω, δεν έχω αλλάξει μόνο εγώ..
Γιατί για να θεωρήσεις κάποιον ‘χαμένο’ πρέπει πρώτα να τον ψάξεις..σωστά?
Μικρές αλλαγές και από τις δυο πλευρές κάνουν την απόσταση μεταξύ των δυο διπλάσια..
Έκανα βουτιά κι ίσως χάθηκα στο κενό ανάμεσά μας.. άπλωσες όμως το χέρι για να με πιάσεις, να με κρατήσεις κοντά..?

One year and a few days later..

The light is on again..Looking around..through spider nests and dust.. Everything so familiar and still so distant.. Parts of me on the floor, on the walls, everywhere.. and still it feels like that person sitting there in the corner, looking a bit happy, a bit sad, a bit lost, is not me..

Do people change? Yes, they do. For the best, for the worst, I don't know. I guess time always shows. Do lives change? They definitely do! Mine has. And I know for sure that that's for the best.

Blowing the dust that time left on the furniture, a part of me feels like opening that door, getting out and closing it behind me for good, not willing to see this place ever again.. Yet another part of me just wants to walk into the next room and start painting the walls with new colors, choosing new furniture, a comfy sofa here, a coffee table there, the radio in the corner again.. The window wide open, the door always unlocked..

_

Away and still here..
No one before has ever reached this heart
To make it open, like a flower
In spring
Coming into bloom
In its most intense and beautiful color
Past and future collided
After a kiss
Trembling like a leaf
In the wind
Over and over again
No tomorrow, for today is endless..

wild words..

..found hunging from a tree branch..
..getting wilder as the wind blows through the leaves..
