Stale by upwen, literature

Literature

Stale

I walk out into to the shining bright grey fog of another bleak day Everything is hazy I'm not as sober as I could be But as sober as I've been this decade Called only to reuse lines and tap into stale inspiration Like eating the tortilla chips I've kept in an unsealed bag at the back of the pantry for over a year now I keep telling myself I'll feed them to the mice Or engineer some new and creative recipe to resurrect long forgotten and abandoned metaphors Re-invent myself and the wheel in a fell swoop Am I building my life like a house or like a pizza? Making plans to consume myself unendingly, an ouroboros, until the clockmaker sounds t

We got in a fight...

This boredom is burning a whole in my gut irritation, vibrations, I'm stuck in a rut and I'm anxious, as fuck! And my eyes are seared shut the director of life just keeps yelling out CUT cut it out, please, you're making me nauseous its like stop and go traffic and I'm feeling too cautious and its hot, and I'm sweating and I'm greatly regretting getting out of bed this morning... But I'd be lying to say that I slept last night cuz the girl and me, we got in a fight and I held my tongue with all my might just wishing somebody would turn off the light but the bulb kept buzzing like bees in a hive well they're zombees in my head and they're bar

The Mountains are Alive by upwen, literature

Literature

The Mountains are Alive

Rick-Rolling down the mountain (Little Proposal: Laura) Would the mountains be so beautiful If we never had to climb them Labored breath and beading sweat Laid in the sky are sparkling gems Young and old is the world at once Our breath must rest upon the breeze Under clouds and over earth Beneath the rustling trees Energy is life they say My life is one with all Yet for all the life within us I'm Left feeling very small It's as if the world is only just The tiniest of specks To float about the wide abyss Landing at last on Gods cortex Explain to me the truth in lies Lest the ocean eat the earth Alas, she said, the end is n

The key to a heart by upwen, literature

The Answer to WHAT? by upwen, literature

Literature

The Answer to WHAT?

BUT what if the answer to WHAT? is NO? and how can I know just because you say so? and as the leaves are turning, changing color are the people around you becoming other? other are they? or other are you? a stone changes faces far more often than we knew what if even in the daytime the stars let loose their shine and the brightness of their countenance makes light the great divine? and when the echoes of our laughing meet the dark side of the moon will the stars then come to save us from the darkness of our doom? and if there's a god out there I sincerely hope he knows how much good it is I wish for him and all the souls he s

The Sailor Man by upwen, literature

Literature

The Sailor Man

I've never met a sailor man who when he gazed at me saw past the shallow tide pools and instead saw the sea I've never met a fisher man who when cast his line in me hooked the greatest catch of all and didn't set it free I've never had a hook in mouth that's left no scar on me for every time I prick my cheek a harpoons shot where heart should be I know the worms are fake attached to twenty test they may be gummy, but I'm a dummy so every time I bite me best

savoir faire by upwen, literature

Literature

savoir faire

all the world is strange to me and every days a dream a twilight mist I'm barely there is all reality seems blissfully oblivious to what is probably there and tripping over imagination with childlike savoir faire I don't know where I'm going I barely know myself the haze as thick around my head as dust upon a shelf lost and wandering all around with no desire to be found forgot to put my glasses on and cannot hear a sound

A drop on the tongue. A drop in the heart.

Obligatory Journal Update

0 min read

because I log on once and then disapear for another couple of months... Cleaned up/organized my gallery. I'll be adding a couple more songs/poems soon I think. I might even draw something eventually. If I'm feeling especially motivated I might even post. Well until next time, continue not to think of me ^^ Choa. EDIT 11/5/14 Ha, I'm genius. I crack myself up. This is so accurate. I know myself well.

Cleaning out the cobwebs

0 min read

not that I don't like spiders, because I do. Anyone miss me? I didn't think so. So life is interesting isn't it? I've made a little art, written a little poetry, and some days it seems like the sameness all over. Life updates: My 3rd year of college and I'm finally in a drawing class. :) It feels good to be doing art again, with some regularity anyway. I'm going to take some time off school after this semester. I applied to work at a summer camp, wish me luck. After that I'm thinking about doing the nomad thing for a while. I'll drift for a while, following the wind, the sun, the sky, and my fansy. I'm going to get a pet rat too.
