Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back

No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories
― Haruki Murakami
voices, filled (the air)
have, one more
don’t despair
(warm) fingers, tracing, searching
did they (who watched) care
have, one more
more, and more
no one (really) saw
or so, it seemed
blue eyes
yes (they cared, oh how so much)
told, no lies
feelings rising
choices, stretching
(out)
don’t be scared
choose, the blue
ride, the red
you’ll soon
be
dead
red
This week, my poetry prompt is red

A doctor can bury his mistakes, but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines

I felt inspired this afternoon and so I rounded things off by shooting one of my favourite locations in London, the Tate Modern, and more specifically the new extension tacked on to the back.
*All shots taken with Nikon D700 with Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.4 lens with ISO200 in manual mode, some of the settings I like to claim to be ‘creative’, or maybe it was that Mexican beer?*
poetry | 101 | rehab | smile
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
blue eyes
that
hold, no
lies
sparkling smile
that
holds, no
wile
(nor guile)
words
softly, spoken
not, just
words
what lay,
inside
all
those
years
it is clear,
to me
now
smile
This week, my poetry prompt is simple, it’s smile. Why not?

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness
― Mark Twain
Wandering the streets of London, taking a break from working, I found my road blocked by the Prudential RideLondon Classique, apparently the richest women’s one-day race in professional cycling and awarded UCI WorldTour status by the world’s governing body for cycling, the Union CycIiste Internationale (UCI), the race was taking place on a spectacular 5.5km circuit in central London.
And, as luck would have it, I had my camera with me. In manual mode.
