Paula Abdul - My Love Is For Real



...you can give everything
and still end with nothing
even if what you felt was real

maybe it was all a game
or make-believe,
a saccharine fantasy
full of red...

Destiny - Short Film


...I want to stop the clocks tonight
I want to tear the hands right off
I want to stop the world from turning
until we get it right...

Brandy - Full Moon


...the Moon is the inner life 
that only close companions 
get to experience. 
It’s the private you 
that reveals itself 
behind closed doors.
It’s the unguarded you 
that has to act on instinct, 
the one that comes out in a crisis.

When you understand
the essence of the Moon, 
you’re no longer 
“in the dark”...


"The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.” 
-Tehereh Mafi, Shatter Me

The Pierces - You'll Be Mine


...prick your finger
on the spinning wheel
but don't make a sound

a drop of blood
and now you're taken
for all time

with a kiss 
you will awaken
and you'll be mine...

Todrick Hall - The Wizard of Ahhhs


...coming together is a beginning;
keeping together is progress;
working together is success...

-Henry Ford

Caldera - Short Film


...because
we are all
a work
in progress...

- note to self-


...A long time ago 
I created a man in my head
Someone so beautiful and kind
Someone so magical and warm

He was my prince
And I'd visit him every night
To speak and lay

With him I was unafraid and
and no longer alone

But one day
I met someone
who I thought was him
or at least it looked like him

was he the Odile
to my Odette?
I don't know
and part of me didn't care

We laughed and loved
and overtime 
he became my prince

_______________________________


...I think...
he's gone now
and I have no other option 
than to return to the Prince
I've kept inside

but I don't even know
how to build him back
his face seems smudged 
and his eyes so dull

maybe in time he'll reemerge 
so clear and bright
so strong and knowing
atop his horse
with a face so open
and a breath so ready
to love...
