on the left of the right side

"i caught a glimpse of the trees as she ran away,

her direction opposite to me.

the ground beneath my feet sparkled like diamonds,

i almost didn't believe it.

they were in front and didn't wait for him,

he was taking in the view,

it was a moment they would never fully understand.

i miss your face,

so i close my eyes and catch your sweet scent,

your beauty invades my inner most thoughts.

i never liked the way Winter made the trees feel,

the cold wind on their broken down bodies.

voices destroy my vision and it kills my control,

now i wait for you...

to come sing my heart back to loveliness,

and i know it's soon."

the dish and the spoon

The coffee’s on, the fire is warm,

are you coming out of the storm?

I need to know what’s on your mind,

can you tell me? Please don’t hide.

The clock has moved and I’m still waiting.

Are you alright dear? You look like you’re fading.

Maybe I should speak and let me say,

I’ll be honest, it’s better that way.

I’ve got a feeling that something’s wrong,

I haven’t seen you, it’s been too long.

You need to tell me what’s in your heart,

I know it’s hard dear, so please just start.

The fire is ashes, the coffee’s cold,

I think I’m done here, and my stories told.

Thanks love for listening and being you,

please think it over, cause i will be too.

Outside looks crazy and sounds intense,

just like my heart, it makes no sense.

We’ll I’ll say goodbye now and talk to you soon,

until next time, I’m the dish and your the spoon.

sometimes it just happens and you can't stop it

”...And all of a sudden,

it came out of nowhere.

The black clouds swallowed

the bright yellow sun.. whole.

The water fell from the vast cover of sky

and soaked my soul in honesty.

Oh, how I needed this feeling of a new beginning.

Oh, how much I needed to start again.

I ran for what seemed like

endless cirlces of the second hand.

Creating moments of life, love

and every little thing that hung inbetween.

Oh, how I longed to be washed away,

never to be found in the same place…

And all of a sudden,

it came out of nowhere.”

-J.A. Jones

watching the world pass my window

Emptiness, such a close friend of mine.

Rainy days and Mondays seem to be all I find.

And hello love, will you be around today?

I wonder do you have something beautiful to say?

[Cause all I ever needed was you.

Just one moment to believe it could true.

So come in close, but don’t stay too long.

Just give me enough time to hear

the goodnight song.]

s.d.p.p - day 7

day 7 photo project (last day)

...this has been important to my creativity, it's given me a simple challenge and opened my eyes even more to how many different ways you can look at the same thing.

thanks for sharing in the 7 day photo project with me.

maybe this has inspired you to take a look from another point of view.

shooting the bottles outside today in the sunshine and loving the colours.

s.d.p.p - day 4

day 4 of the photo project - this is the same place i took the bottles of day one, but there is more of them this time, i really like this view.

day 3 of the photo project - taken outside looking up through the pergola. (it reminds me that sometimes we need to change the perspective on what we're looking at, and although it seems simple enough to do, it can offer us a more advanced understanding of the situation at hand.)

i can get very attached

"handle bars reflected,

the traffic lights all green,

the trees intertwined,

life creates another moment

for all to see."

new idea: the 7 day photo project

Hey friends.

This is a new idea that came to me this morning following a cool photo txt (thanks Katie!) and it's basically about shooting the same subject (i chose empty wine bottles) every day for 7 days and seeing the results together.

It's a creative idea that doesn't need much explaining, but just doing. Maybe you'll have a go at this 7 day photo project.

Enjoy - This is day one! :)

137pm

...i miss you when you are missing from me,

that's the feeling i feel, the feeling it should be.

-J.A. Jones

i was looking at her

i like stars, they are bright,

will you paint one on my foot tonight?

-J.A. Jones

long time, no see

I made black coffee to fill the need,

but something changed, I washed it down the sink.

I made black coffee to keep me strong,

but my doctor told me that's not good enough.

How do I move forward when the sun is not shining?

Why call yourself honest when we both know your lying?

Words on paper don't mean much these days.

Guard yourself in these unknown ways.

The mirrow looks good when I don't look in it.

Addiction seems handled when we're heavily medicated.

Stop writing and let's go have some coffee.

looking for a way out

i had words before, but i turned the light off...
does anyone know where i can find the switch to turn the thoughts back on? -JAJ

i was chasing my own reflection to see what i could see

"...tapping my fingers to the beat,
but i only see a fragment of the rhythm.
is that something you understand?
cause i don't like hearing the words i don't like.
admit to it, i love honesty.
help me please. i am confused.
confusion, i made it harder.
love is a beautiful word.
but words aren't everything in love.
i see the truth, i don't believe it.
music meets me in the middle." -JAJ
