“Who in the rainbow can draw the line where the violet tint ends and the orange tint begins? Distinctly we see the difference of the colors, but where exactly does the one first blendingly enter into the other? So with sanity and insanity.”

- Herman Melville

to the block in my head:

i don't wanna write unless you give me more
it only widens the gulf between what i feel and what i say

Motherhood and apple pie

moments inspiring a love alien
precious but so hard to come by
is there a point in keeping account
for we are born and so must we die
but you know that just as well as i

give me today or give me tomorrow
give me your love or gentle pity
i accept all this with equanimity
for eons ago i had to eat humble pie
but you know that just as well as i

we meet people, we make friends
we work, eat, drink and dance
its a fabulous world we live in
but somehow it gets boring, so i try
but you know that just as well as i

and so i met you one wonderful day
having no clue whats comin' my way
and i'd still say that i had a joy ride
laughter with you always gave me a high
but you know that just as well as i

and its at times like these that i wonder
if we could have been free and together
its the best of wishes i can wish for us
for before your time comes i could die
but you know that just as well as i

Out of rhythm..and rhyme

i have seen this place before
its an image of a time from far away
where there was love to give away
and i still had time

i have crawled out of here before
where they said i'm too late
and the colours of the rainbow
had already been given away

i have felt like this before
helpless, shallow and hollow
expendable and not knowing
what i was being spent for

but i gotta not let it show
keep it under wraps
and save what is left
for better times will come

but most of all i gotta learn
to keep my heart on leash..
