There are days, and there are days... by runfromthelight, literature

There are days, and there are days...

There are days when I can feel the despair scratching at the inside of my ribs. When I stare at the computer screen, homesick and forlorn. When I drink too much wine and walk, dry-mouthed and overburdened through the streets of unfamiliar cities. There are days that last for centuries. But at the end of such days there are friends, blueberries and a bed offered with no thought of what should be given in return. There are days when I forget And there are days when I remember that I will not drown without you. I know the words to this song. (It's just as pretty solo, but I'm hoping we'll duet.)

Mistaken attitudes toward immortality

On my first reading of ‘Mistaken attitudes toward death’, I found much of Lamont’s perspective on the issue of mortality to be deeply troubling, though the source of my disconcertion was somehow imperceptible. Naturally, as a philosopher, this was not a state I could bear for any length of time! The purpose of this essay, then, is to subject Lamont’s ideas to a little more scrutiny, locate the problematic elements and then to consider whether my own view of death can achieve any clearer articulation in light of these issues. I The first attitude which Lamont criticises is that expressed by Walter Kaufmann in his book

Rush

Take my hand, love, for a while we'll walk. To trip, to fall, of that you must take care For, when you fall, it's certain you'll fall hard. But I'll be there to pick you up, always, Though the trials that we'll face may well be endless. I'll look for you, and find you, here. At dusk. We'll revel in the chill kisses of dusk And sing old songs we have learned as we walk. We'll find our curiosity is endless And keep learning as long as we still care. We'll make our promises that last for 'always' And break them, though the breaking will be hard. At first we'll think that walking is not hard And laugh at whispered terror in the dusk.

Literature

Remembrance and Forgetting

INT. Bedroom of a small Boston apartment, late afternoon. The room is cold and dingy, the ceiling cracked, wallpaper peeling. Street sounds can be heard from outside the window, though the latch is closed. Light filters weakly through the partly drawn curtains. An old man, MICHAEL, is sitting in the bed, popped up on stained pillows against the bed frame. The sheets look as though they have not been changed in weeks. His eyes are half closed and his breathing laboured but his hands twitch nervously, gathering handfuls of the cover before releasing, as if forcing himself to relax. He shivers in a ratty robe, fraying at the elbows. There is a

Voyeur by runfromthelight, literature

Literature

Voyeur

In another world you named me songbird, and traced my shoulder blades searching for my missing wings. I long for those words to kiss my eyes again, to feel your aimed affection swelling within me like heat in the pit of my stomach. Today I implored Hokusai for the taste of that lost love, furtive spy, cursing myself for the invasion

Serenity by runfromthelight, literature

Literature

Serenity

This is the mark. This is where our paths divide. I will not spurn the sun nor shrink dismayed and daunted from the day. I will go out into the night air and breathe the sweetness of the evening; lime, maple and cedar. I will look up to the assonant moon, robed in the haze of the buzzing, oblivious city; work, food and sleep. I will know myself: an ivory tower, unassailable and isolate, in the midst of a forbidding, fretful sea. I will spread my wings, raise my eyes and wish upon the first star with hope high in my heart.
