Looking Up

Finally

A clear night after months of rain

My mind sees you

Looking up

No lights but the ones above you

Distant lanterns embedded in the blue.

 

A feeling

A tingling in my back

In the core of my heart

Leap up, Open the window

Peer into the darkness with tired eyes

The chill wind tells me what to do.

 

Grab the dressing gown

Creep Downstairs

Open the back door slowly

 

I stand alone on the empty patio

Stones unmarked by footprints

Grass freshly cut and still long

 

I still don’t know what compelled me that night

To imagine that you might be there

I convinced myself I’d see you

Looking up

No lights

But the ones above you

Distant lanterns embedded in the black

And supernovas reflected in your eyes.

Friends

The Trees may house their
Smaller companions
The wind may carry the birds

The rocks provide shelter for
Tiny sea creatures
The grass may feed the herds

The Earth is friends with
Itself and its children
We all thrive on eachother

One human alone
Can not survive unless
It has another

Desperate Romantics

In recent weeks on BBC1 i have watched Desperate Romantics and discovered that although there are some crude and womanizing themes, it is rather interesting to find out how the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood came to paint their masterpieces.

In my GCSE Art project this year I am studying Ophelia by John Everett Millais, as the use of nature and natural forms contrasts well with the unnatural suicide of Ophelia.

Heroes

People will make heroes out of anything, fictional characters, F1 drivers, TV stars, the really famous people. I have very few heroes that other people would call heroes, but those that i do have are models and those who photograph them, because the photographs are usually gorgeous.

 

Kate Moss is one of my favourite models, because she has started so many trends, like the trend of looking overly thin, which isn't such a great thing, but waistcoats, micro-shorts, wayfarers, shorts-&-wellies at Glastonbury, all trends started by her. And now she's got a clothing range in Topshop which, although she doesn’t design them herself, has some amazing looks.

She has been on over 300 magazine covers, she’s shorter than the average model, and in 2007 she became the 2nd richest supermodel according to Forbes.

I love her figure because she’s shorter than the average model and she was so thin in the 90s that people speculated that she was anorexic, but of course she denied it and said “how many times can you say ‘I’m not anorexic.’”
