boast of quietness by jorge luis borges

writings of light assault the darkness, more prodigious than meteors

the tall unknowable city takes over the countryside

sure of my life and death, i observe the ambitious and would like to understand them

their day is greedy as the lariat in the air

their night is a rest from rage within steel, quick to attack.

they speak of humanity.

my humanity is in feeling we are all voices of that same poverty.

they speak of homeland

my homeland is the rhythm of a guitar, a few potraits, an old sword,
the willow grove's visible prayer as the evening falls

time is living me

more silent than my shadow, i pass through the loftily covetous multitude

they are indispensable, singular, worthy of tomorrow

my name is someone and anyone

i walk slowly, like one who comes from so far away he doesn't expect to arrive

ya. i dont expect to understand it fully.

even though i dont neccesarily like..agree with this sort of existentialism sort of thing. so actually i dont even know why i like it but i really do. hm.

song beneath the song by maria taylor

Cryptic words meander
Now there is a song beneath the song
One day you'll learn
You'll soon discern its true meaning
An interesting detachment
A listless poem of love sincere
Desire, despair
Overlapping melodies

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

And now the loops are reminiscing
Recurring dreams of minor chords
Metred time
Muted chimes find the beat

And in the pulse there lies conviction
A steady push and pull routine
Till cymbals swelled
High notes fell into reach

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

It's not a love, it's not a love,
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song...

yup. its really good.
