think of you by a fine frenzy

…I thought I had it figured out
in a brand new life
with a great big house
and green initials on the towels
I should be happy now

well, you’ve got yourself a family
and you planted roots down by the sea
I saw you once on the street,
you didn’t notice me

but I think of you,
whenever life gets me down
I think of you
whenever you’re not around
you rest your bones
somewhere far from my own,
yeah but you still pull me home

just to put your mind at ease
you don’t owe me anything
you paid me well in memories…

a beautiful poem for women

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
something perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
a youth she's content to leave behind....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her old age....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
a set of screwsrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
one friend who always makes her laugh,
and one who lets her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal
that will make her guests feel honored...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
a feeling of control over her destiny...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to fall in love without losing herself.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to quit a job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend without
ruining the friendship...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
when to try harder,
and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that her childhood may not have been perfect, but it's over...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to live alone, even if she doesn't like it...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
whom she can trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it personally...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
where to go.
be it to her best friend's kitchen table,
or a charming inn in the woods,
when her soul needs soothing...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she can and can't accomplish in a day,
a month, and a year...

Cannes Lions 2007 Gold Award

Simplicity
Elisa

If I could fly I'd come to see you wherever you are
I would lie down beside you while you're sleeping
and with simplicity ... I'd spend a little time
just a little time with you

With simplicity, I'd listen to your breath
listen to your heart beat
I would be so near, we could push away the fear
I'd come to see all of your tears
I'd come to see all of your smiles
with butterfly eyes ...
And you would know who I am
and I would know who you are

the butterfly is an image i hold close at heart..
for the surreal beauty it becomes from a weak insect,
for its patience in waiting to become that beauty.
for its erratic yet graceful flight..

Rainbow
Elisa

You are not an enemy anymore
There’s a ray of light upon your face now
I can look into your eyes
And I never thought it could be so simple
You can hear the music with no sounds
You can heal my heart without me knowing
I can cry in front of you
Cause you’re not afraid to face my weakness

When we’ll wake up
Some morning rain
Will wash away our pain
Cause it never began for us
It’ll never end for us

like the rainbow, we don't know where it begins, where it ends..
but we know the colors, we know the feeling.

Time Does Not Bring Relief

Time does not bring relief; you all have lied
Who told me time would ease me of my pain!
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year's bitter loving must remain
Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide.
There are a hundred places where I fear
To go - so with his memory they brim.
And entering with relief some quiet place
Where never fell his foot or shone his face
I say, 'There is no memory of him here!'
And so stand stricken, so remembering him.


Edna St Vincent Millay (1892 -1950)
