show me ur books and i will show you your future.

"On more than one occasion I have been ready to abandon my whole life for love. To alter everything that makes sense to me and to move into a different world where the only known will be the beloved. Such a sacrifice must be the result of love... or is it that the life itself was already worn out? I had finished with that life, perhaps, and could not admit it, being stubborn or afraid, or perhaps did not known it, habit being a great binder. I think it is often so that those most in need of change choose to fall in love and then throw up their hands and blame it all on fate. But it is not fate, at least, not if fate is something outside of us; it is a choice made in secret after nights of longing.
... I may be cynical when I say that very rarely is the beloved more than a shaping spirit for the lover's dreams... To be a muse may be enough. The pain is when the dreams change, as they do, as they must. Suddenly the enchanted city fades and you are left alone again in the windy desert. As for your beloved, she didn't understand you.
The truth is, you never understood yourself."
— Jeanette Winterson (Sexing the Cherry)

If art is a soldier

If art is a soldier
There is melody 
As colorful as the sunrise 
Strengthen our spirits 
Share our thoughts 

If a soldier is gentleness 
It's enough to harmonise
The melody of love
Along with affection and hope
With beauty and compassion
Beauty and compassion

Art fighting and sharing
Moving and giving
Love is the commander
If peace is the ruler
Fight together 
Until the end of our days 

HAPPY

When I think about the heavens, the moon and all the stars, I wonder what you ever saw in me?

true voice of the ghetto

What is it about art that we give it so much importance? Artists are respected by the poor because what they do is an honest way to get out of the slum using one's sheer self as the medium. The money earned is proof pure and simple of the value of that individual. From: Basquiat 1996

Specky Day 170510

for him, for the love.

The Colour Red

……was curiosity. For him, who bade farewell and off to distant lands.
Safekeeping the comforts of yesterday.
……was missing. For him, his heart was one indivisible whole, now a part of him remained.
Coping with the arrival of absence.
……was uncertainty. For him, a milder fate, the world has enlarged.
Realising the insignificance of living.
……was exclamation. For him, he was crying at the earliest hour
Paralleling the physicality of his surroundings.
…was his cheeks
…was the London booth
…was her.

DO I MAKE YOU PROUD

I've never been the one to raise my hand,
That was not me and now that's who I am

Because of you I am standing tall,
My heart is full of endless gratitude,
You were the one, the one to guide me through,
Now I can see and I believe it's only just beginning

Chorus-
This what we dream about
But the only question with me now
Is do I make you proud
Stronger than I've ever been NOW
Never been afraid of standing out
But do I make you proud

I guess I've learned, to question is to grow
That you still have faith, is all I need to know
I've learned to love, myself in spite of me
And I've learned to walk, the road that I believe

This what we dream about
[ Do I make you proud lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
But the only question with me now
Is do I make you proud
Stronger than I've ever been NOW
Never been afraid of standing out
But do I make you proud

Everybody needs to rise up
Everybody needs to be loved, to be loved

This what we dream about
But the only question with me now
Is do I make you proud
Stronger than I've ever been NOW
Never been afraid of standing out
But do I make you proud

This what we dream about
But the only question with me now
Is do I make you proud
Stronger than I've ever been NOW
Never been afraid of standing out
But do I make you proud

Do I make you proud?
Do I make you proud?

What is Important

Just The Way You Are - Billy Joel

Don't go changing, to try and please me,
You never let me down before,
Don't imagine, you're too familiar,
And I don't see you anymore.

I would not leave you, in times of trouble,
We never could have come this far,
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times,
I'll take you just the way you are.

Don't go trying, some new fashion,
Don't change the colour of your hair,
You always have my, unspoken passion,
Although I might not seem to care.

I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew,
What will it take till you believe in me,
The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you, and that's forever,
And this I promise from the heart,
I couldn't love you, any better,
I love you just the way you are.

I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.

Hide Me in The Shelter

Under the shadow of your wings
Here in the secret place of your holiness
I will wait on You, O Lord, my God and King

Here in the Holiest of All
You draw me near with love
To abandon all for the sake of knowing You, my God and King

Hide me in the shelter of your love
Deep in the centre of your heart, my Lord
How I want to know You more
And keep me in the shadow of your wings
Safe in the secret place of Holiness
How I need You more and more

Carrie Chen And I ;)

The Nicest Thing by Kate Nash

All I know is that you're so nice,
You're the nicest thing I've seen.
I wish that we could give it a go,
See if we could be something.

I wish I was your favourite girl,
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world.
I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile,
I wish the way I dressed was your favourite kind of style.

I wish you couldn't figure me out,
But you always wanna know what I was about.
I wish you'd hold my hand when I was upset,
I wish you'd never forget the look on my face when we first met.

I wish you had a favourite beauty spot that you loved secretly,
'Cos it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see.
Basically, I wish that you loved me,
I wish that you needed me,
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars, actually I meant three.

I wish that without me your heart would break,
Yeah, I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake.
I wish that without me you couldn't eat,
Yeah, I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep.

But, all i know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen;
And I wish that we could see if we could be something
Yeah, I wish we could see if we could be something..
