The Basement

Here's a little poem I wrote at 5 oclock in the morning. Why does inspiration hit me at the most random times? meh. enjoy =]


The Basement

It will all make sense in the end, but for now the story belongs to you.
And you will keep it forever stored in the bottom of your house along
with everything else that you keep down there. And when the time
comes you will stand at the top of the stairs thinking about them.
The dusty lamp-shade made light, red; which made you think about the doorknob
leading to the basement where the records hide inside boxes. They sit next to
the china and the Polaroid’s. Bicycles in basements can not ride themselves, but
then again mysterious things are known to happen in the darkest places. Places
where the story lays wrapped up in a blanket while you stand there, one hand on
the knob, and the other in the air. You begin to ask yourself why they made basements
anyway; if not to forget about things. It is much easier to forget about things, until you
ask yourself: who is they? You put your conscience down there one day, and they
taught you how to shut the door and never think of it again. But it is hard to forget.
Isn’t it? When the beating never stops? You have been trying to ignore it for some time now. Other people’s basements thump softly; therefore, they can live with the sound. But yours beats like 33 base drums that roar to your every footstep and your every whisper in the dark. It is there, and it cries and it sighs and it dies; for you. That old story about treasure screams while the wooden planks vibrate driving nails against your foot.

Back in Austin enjoyin the weirdness. I saw "There will be Blood" with Sol at the drafthouse on 6th st. tonight. The acting was superb. Tomorrow night I'll be at the Beta Chi Theta house drinkin up the free liquir while striking up convos with random strangers. Can't wait.
Until then I'm drowning myself in hours of Spanish and Othello.

By the time I'm done I will have mixed the two creating a hybrid Spanish Shakespear version of Othello....in my mind of course. =]

Later.

More photos to come in future posts.

Hello there!

So I have decided to create a brand new blog domain. Amidst my several blogs that are floating around out there in internet land, this blog is going to be about my specific interests; God, writing, art, fashion, current events (world news), and college life! With a more impersonal vibe, I'll be posting pictures, poems, videos and different things that I find intersting. Feel free to comment. =]



In this pic. I'm wearing brown tights and a necklace that my grandmother gave me. (the spiked one). I love my furry boots and tights! I want a pair of tights in every color.



Ok I will be updating as often as I can. *smile*

peace.
