Body:
say you live for the highest ideals,
say love is above all else,
say you won't just settle.
not in this lifetime
this one time to try.
ok, i believe you;
ok, i'll tell you my dreams.
whether you say so or not
i'll believe we can live them out.
but, tell me,
how many tired eyes have you seen?
how many people do you know that are basically happy?
how much love have you lost to your own fear?
i think the most beautiful people
are children
and people that love like children.
adults know already
all the logical, practical reasons
why dreams will never work
why settling is always best
and anyway, it's always easier
to be right and miserable
than in love
and making the wrong choice.

Adventures in Europe and Southern Africa
I haven't written anything in quite some time, as i spent the summer traveling through Europe and Southern Africa. During that time, I made a whole other blog, with my partner. For stories, pictures, videos, poems and essays from that travel, see:

More recent writing will appear here soon....
