  1. pfxphoto:

    Some photos from around Rochester NY. I like to try to fins some artistic looks in the architecture within the city.

  2. misschasse:

    I saw this at the Eastman house when they were hosting an exhibit of Civil War photos. Pretty amazing.

  3. CPR

    poeticallyprofound:

    If you could breathe life
    Back into my barren lungs
    All I would need is
    Something of my own to love
    These words are my CPR

    salpsan:

    I’m loving Mary Jane. Flying with Lois Lane on board a bullet train. Don’t know yet if I’m glad I came. 

    Obviously this helps me… I think??

    I’m stuck between a hard place and the biggest rock, in my own head consumed. I sit back in my room. It’s like the tapestries of life get tangled in the loom. I’m like a butterfly, caught in a hurricane. My pulse is quickening as my heart plays a new refrain. I’m living in the past. My clock’s an hour fast. Should really go and make some coffee but I can’t be fucked. I’ve lost my mobile phone, you’ll have to call my home. On second thoughts just leave a message when you hear the tone. My grimy windows show the early morning glow, another day, another dollar in my one man show.

    Sometimes at night I think too much about life and love and music and stuff.

    I fell out with Mary Jane. I don’t speak to Lois Lane and I missed that bullet train. But now I know I’m glad I came.  

  5. Tuesday III

    rakuli:

    Tuesday tentatively tickles the trees
    The tree tops tango to timid tempests
    Today takes time to tempt, taunt, to tease
    Trying to trip, to trap, torture then test 

    Talking truthfully treasuring trust
    Torturing timepiece tolling tick, tick, tick
    Trudging through toils to tapering thrust
    Tiredly tracking the temperate trick

    Tinkering, tapping to titillating tunes
    Television toots terrible transmissions
    This tempest throws thought to tackle typhoons
    Totally tearing teaching traditions

    Treacherous tyrannous thoughts tipping trays
    Terrible, tawdry, trialling Tuesdays

  6. One for the romantics

    starlightstruck:

    All the cliches in the world

    Could not fathom the love

    That I have for you and

    Your eternal being.

    The very essence of you

    In my life leaves me shaking

    And breathless and quite 

    Unsure of how to act 

    Whenever you’re near me

    I get scared my heart

    Cannot cope with this 

    Feeling, it may enjoy it

    Just that bit too much

    And explode, creating

    A thousand waves of

    Amor lapping your body

  7. letskeepitfreshk:

    I sat on the front steps

    With a daisy I had saved from the weed pile

    Twirling it as I waited

    For you to come into the sunshine

    And pull me along with you

    I daydreamed about handing you the small flower

    And your sweet response that would come too

    But as the sun fell below the clouds

    And the moon rose to flirt with me

    I left the daisy at the top of your steps

    And wandered along the path leading away from your house

    When the night time told me

    You weren’t coming out today

  8. cagedswallow:

    i get these small attachments to strangers but then
    they break my heart a little further take another part
    of me with them. when they choose someone else.
    all is well, as i’m slowly getting better at this: not
    expecting any thing back.

  9. theycallmelolita:

    hands. your hands make me smile,



    a touch,
    stroke between the fingers
    intertwined,


    your veins tell a story by themselves,



    love,
    hate,


    or everything else.


    you jump,
    your veins tell your secrets.



    a touch, spontaneous,
    a smile covers the shivers,
    eyes tell of the wings you


    never dared to
    let go of,
    those wings that were too weak


    for the raining.



    and I kiss your hands,
    and hope you realize it’s all going to be okay


    I kiss your hands
    and hope the hurt goes away,




    hands,
    tired from the clenching,

    an eternal fist, so hard to bear,
    dreaming, being, harsh eyes in sunlight


    I hope I’ll manage to open them,

    open them. and spread your fingers like spiderwebs,




    hands. so beautiful.
    wrinkles tell the story.


    your heart. your mind. your life.



    and the fortune.
    I know that line is broken. But hopefully, one day


    I’ll cover the line and make you forget
    that luck never meant anything



    but wind in the sails you never managed to control.




    moon clings to the sun as I cling to you.



    all I care about is your hand covering them,
    covering me




    with a wave, with open rather than close,





    with the pulsating. soft.






    lets intertwine and live forever.

  10. wanna?

    thevagabondking:

    who wants to sit
    on the bank of a
    lake and eat
    peanut butter
    and jelly sandwiches
    wit’ me?

    i’ll bring sparkling
    water and we’ll
    feed the squirrels
    day old bread

    we’ll watch the sun
    go from the top of
    the world, kiss our
    toes and disappear

    we’ll sleep on the
    sandy bank of that
    lake, dream of another
    day just like this

  11. Maybe.

    lilysofthefield:

    I feel like collapsing—
    Crumbling within myself.
    I sit in this chair and pretend
    to be important,
    watching the soft glow
    from my candle dance on my walls
    and the shadows keep me company.
    My nose filled with the scent
    of strawberry incense
    while I wait for inspiration
    and small talk.
    But who am I kidding,
    besides myself?
    I’m only important 
    when I’m needed,
    not wanted
    and how desperately
    I need to be wanted.
    Sour memories surface
    during trailing times
    of regret, can I keep
    the sweet ones alive?
    At least long enough
    to last, if not overpower
    the ones that make me cringe. 
    I tried to reach out into 
    the endless night sky,
    praying I’d clasp a star
    within my palm,
    burning patterns of it’s life
    into my skin
    giving me something to show off.
    “Look, I was burned by a star
    do you see it’s story, written
    on my palm, here.” 
    Instead, I’m reaching into the ocean
    trying to grasp for words
    that’ll show you what’s inside me,
    more clearly than what the sound of my voice
    can share. Or you could stare
    into my eyes, it’s all there
    too. Don’t fall into them,
    you’ll be soaked in who I am
    and you’ll fall in love
    with the person you thought
    you saw floating there,
    it won’t be me, because
    you already placed me on a pedestal
    setting me up to fall
    and skin my knees,
    I wondered if you’d at least attempt
    to catch me. But I doubted that.
    I doubt a lot of things lately.
    Under midnight’s cool breath 
    last night, I noticed you holding
    a tiny metal replica of my heart
    in your hands, with the utmost care. 
    No, wait, that was my dream,
    I remember now because I took 
    it back from you and attached it to a chain
    and hooked it around your neck,
    hanging close to your own heart.
    I’ve been waiting too long.
    So, instead those letters that dripped with ink
    stained black and blue, I tied them
    to several balloons
    and watched the wind sweep
    them across the sky.
    Maybe they’ll land at your front door 
    and you’ll come save me, save my life.
    Maybe.

    In 
        A
           Brief
               Second
                       It
                         Will
                             Disappear
                                     On
                                        The
                                        Horizon
                                        But
                                      That
                                 Boomerang
                              Will 
                          Come
                      Back
                   Just
                To
             Rip 
          Me 
       To
    Pieces 

  13. Stabbing the Summer Skies

    thec00lniverse:

    I’ve been stalking the moonlight since I was a youthful 

    little vagabond, stabbing and piercing the clouds with

    the tip of my pen until they bled out sunshine on my

    forehead. Lapping up the raw sweat of the infernal 

    star and smearing its remains on my face like war paint,

    I’ve been parading my blood lust through toxic waste dumps

    and office buildings in the hopes of bringing light to

    mindless pigs with sunlight stitched into the burlap napsacks

    resting beneath my restless eyes. You see, as a child

    I never ran from the mistakes of someone else and blamed

    them on myself, I only plagiarized my neighbors and hoped

    their pain would fill in the gap in the sky I left when I stole

    the spotlight from everyone else.
