Hollywood film is a populous medium along with its cousin the adult entertainment world, primarily financial and profit motivated. Giving the population what it desires and what it is conditioned to want. The dream machine.

“Cherish the arts, though they may not directly defend our country, they make this country worth defending.”

to feel simultaneously loved & distant from everyone who cares about you and those you care about. the constant balancing act, caught in a momentary lapse that leaves reality spinning madly on with a shade of melancholy. staring out at this space, the only one who sees it, feeling the day’s edge make its way over all my dreams and love — tainting it a shade of burgundy.
gently caressing the cat who used to sleep by my side. feigning calm to trick her into believing all is well. well enough to fall into sleep effortlessly.

feeling the past moving in
letting a new day begin
hold to the time that you know
you don’t have to move on to let go
remember turning on the night
and moving through the morning light
remember how it was with you
remember how you pulled me through
add to the memory you keep
remember when you fall asleep
hold to the love that you know
you don’t have to give up to let go
