Poetry and Pictures (:

Soaking in the sun (:

The ocean left a salty residue on my skin as the sun warmed my legs and the hot sand stuck to my soles. I went to Parlee Beach in good company, and enjoyed warm weather, good food, and later on a fourth-times-the-charm camp fire. 

Camp fire smell? Aint nothin' a good shower can't fix.

At the beach, between the cool water and the hot sand I almost stepped on a blob of jelly. Fucking weird jellyfish. Cool, though- don't get me wrong.

I also met this cutie.

Took a gravol and passed out for twelve hours.

So today, I sat at the train station for three hours, got a lot of people-watching done during that time. Met a man of 57 who was travelling to visit the love of his life. They met 6 months ago, and it was love at first sight. Apparently she has glaucoma and has some vision problems, but she is scheduled for surgery soon. You could tell he loved her- he spoke about how great of a women she is and how they are going to get married this December. It will be the best birthday gift he could imagine.

Another older lady joined the party and lit up a smoke. She had four hours to wait. The old man snuck off and fetched a cart with wheels for the lady to carry her bags on. How sweet a scene. 

A younger girl, maybe my age or so, approached me and told me she needs to use the bathroom, then she took off leaving her fifteen million bags at my feet. Why she trusted me- I don't know. I'm some stranger sitting on a bench outside the train station. I know I wouldn't do that. I don't think I even replied before she walked away. I took care of her bags though... I don't know why I'm describing this to you.

Anyhow, the bus stop is an interesting place to meet people and watch them come and go, exchange hugs, and say their good-byes and hellos. 

Overcast and cool, what better to do than write?

En route to Halifax

Staring out the window, as the sky hangs low.

Heavy feelings in my heart still hurt from letting go.

You say I love you with your eyes, you catch the kiss I blow

And watch the rivers down my cheeks as they start to flow.

You drove away, tired of all the rain

Chasing the sun, just to keep you sane.

I said I love you through my lips but my words are strained-

So tied around your neck, my hearts on a chain.

But time unties bows, love will come and go.

We say our good-bye, until our next hello.

You finally hit the road, not knowing where it goes.

Hunting for happiness, someday you’ll know.

So travel on your own, your heart’s your home.

Chase your dreams; the ones you’ve always known.

You take your path, and you go alone

I’ll stay here, staring at my phone.

Hanging out at the train station

And maybe one day, you’ll find your way back

And I’ll wait here with my suitcase packed.

I’ll clear my tears, and I’ll patch these cracks

Along the streams in my heart, bruised blue and black.

I’m staring out the window, as the sky hangs low

Heavy feelings in my heart still hurt from letting go.

You said I love you with your touch, and I hope you know

I’ve carved your name on my heart, so don’t let me go.
