The Definition of Love

You asked what love is?

I say that love cannot be defined by mere words - it is the unappeasable, insurmountable force that drives the most logical into illogic, the most orderly into a chaotic lifestyle. It is entropy, yet it is also bliss. 

Love is not blind devotion, for one need not be coerced in order to follow what one has originally sought. Yet love does not necessarily occur among people who agree with everything - instead, love is what puts past the differences and bridges vast chasms, a combination of independence, yet also unity.

Love is a river - it is always moving, and even though some may try too divert the current, over time the force of the river will break through. Read the rest of this entry »

Lovesick

The yearning feeling to put all into the light. To tear down the curtains of fabrication and tell the other that you love her…

…rather than dancing in small circles around each other, always hesitant, cautious…

You don’t know whether or not she likes you. All you know is that you love her - in the strongest sense of the word. You don’t dare make advances. You’re scared, frightened, you feel alone, unless you’re with her.

Lost

You are thousands of miles away, and waiting. You are patient, yet also impatient, you feel helpless, lost, confused.

You don’t know what to do, or where to go.

Limitless paths await, yet you don’t know which one will take you where you truly want to go… You reach out with your shaking hand, only to be caught midway and flung down the recesses of your lost hopes. Read the rest of this entry »

Where do you go from here?

Where do you go from here?
There are millions of paths, and you are at the crossroads.
There are no signs, telling you where to go.
There are no voices whispering kind words into your ear.
There are no hands holding yours. Read the rest of this entry »

Threads

We are as floating threads 
released from the heavens
Gently waving in the breeze

Waving to one another
Sometimes touching,
We tend to intertwine
Knot ourselves
In intricate patterns

One with another
Till we fade away
Fade in the wind
Our bonds growing weak
As we let go…

…Of the other…

And descend onto earth
Forever searching
For the one
We were tied to

From heaven,
unto earth.

Review: Aperture

Aperture is simply a wonderful tool. For those who don’t know, Aperture is Apple’s mass photo-editing program, similar to Lightroom by Adobe. The interface, the ease of use, and the many useful, interesting, or just plain cool features - all yearn out for attention. I’ll try and review them pace by pace. Read the rest of this entry »
