dreams the world dreams
I left my lighthouse and headed west. Well, first I headed north and then turned west, but it didn’t change where I ended up. Is there a purpose for this journey? No. But perhaps that’s the way to go because all my purposeful attempts at finding you have only separated us again and again and again. Should I continue my quest I’ve chosen for myself, perhaps foolishly so, or should I keep following my heart as it drifts through dimensions and dreams?

The poison had seemed so sweet, so... harmless. “Harmless, my ass,” he winced at the thought, at the memory, literally hanging above the abyss. Everything was over now. Had been for years. And still he had to force himself to climb the jagged rocks of recovery. The worst was over and, as much as the world could tell, nobody had been harmed, nobody had died. “Right.” He let out a blood curdling scream that hardly passed for human. The poison had seemed so... good in every sense imaginable. His bruised, bloody fingers were digging into the icy cliff wall sending jolts of pain through him, and yet this was the only way to tame the rage burning him up inside. The goddamn potion slipped into his mind had turned him into a fool and there was no way in hell he was returning to that state ever again...

I miss myself. Took me years to say that. Ha! Say. Who am I kidding? The words escaped the cage in my mind when I was distracted and scattered so there’s no way of taking them captive again. -
-
I miss myself and I can feel the shape shift, the weight lift, even if ever so slightly. Finally. -
-
I miss myself, but who am I? Do I even know that? Do I even remember? Do I dare to remember? -
-
I miss myself and I must dream on for the dream to never die. The dream must stay alive. The dream of... you. -
-
I miss... you, but I can feel the dimensions start to shift again...

Fragile. So seemingly fragile the wall separating both worlds. Fragile. Such an exquisite deception. A torture so elaborate to be so close and yet an infinity apart. It makes me wonder of things I should leave dormant as they are, but I’ve never been a reasonable type. What the hell did I do? I said I love you. I didn’t want to, but that smile of yours is burning in my soul like a brand of starlight fire. I don’t want to but I love you, and so I screamed these three words into the universe at the top of my lungs. And yet you never heard me. Fragile. So deceptively fragile the wall between the worlds... #volgovenezia #loves_venezia #veneziadavivere #storytelling #storytime #cinematic #biancoenero #masters_in_bnw #bnw_greatshots #mirrorless #scacco_matto_ #tmoosouls #bnwmood #bnw_captures #bnw_planet_2019 #bnw_legit #incredible_bnw #darkroom_daydream #fujilovers #fujilove #fujifilmglobal #bnwlovers #bnw_europe
The presence, so dark, overwhelming and suffocating, so relentless and unyielding, always protected by the layers of shadows, circled the spot where she sat lost in a blinding revelation. “Dreamcatcher,” she whispered.
The presence ran it’s claws of black ice down her back. “Don’t speak revolting words in my presence.” The word she had mumbled half consciously irritated it for some reason beyond her understanding. It gave her hope.
Light filled her through the wounds inflicted by her nightmare, numbing the pain. “Dreamcatcher,” she said again, the word like a spell against the paralyzing grip of her monster, and then she looked at it, white light blazing in her eyes, because she could feel the shape shift...

Everyone’s gone. She stops in the middle of the portal and stares. The real city is yet again replaced by the cardboard cutout that’s swarmed by hordes of blind ghosts the heat brings along like a plague. The only thing that’s left unchanged is the presence in the darkness that makes her skin crawl even as it reminds of itself slithering as a ghost across the farthest edge of her conscious mind. She imagines an obscene gesture and throws the image at the presence like a blade. Violence flashes fully unleashed for a moment so fleeting that it vanishes before it begins. The presence laughs, a sound so revolting and seductive all at once, a poison seeping into every molecule. Grip of vicious power on her throat pins her against the wall as ancient black eyes burn through her. “Delusional is what you are. Haven’t you learned by now?” The voice that fills her head makes her teeter on the brink of madness. “I will bide my time,” she reminds herself, the words steadying her in this universe, her voice like a steel blade against millennia old ice...

Life out of focus. Again. Or perhaps I’m just feeling caged, tamed, restless. I know I’m hunted by demons that creep around in the murky shadows of my mind. Life out of focus. Stopped even though still going on, a strange paradox that. Strange like every single one of us. Life out of focus. Or perhaps a mind lacking clarity...

Could one wake up on an incredulous snicker? In any case she did, or so it seemed. This particular dream had been a concoction of top shelf ridiculousness. It seemed he took a delight in forcing a new role on her each time she closed her eyes, but a Victorian damsel of all possible characters? Her? He had to be kidding. What did that make him? Some indifferent aristocrat? She couldn’t imagine him as such. His energy was too wild to allow such an illusion. Now she was laughing. “You blow my mind,” she allowed her thoughts to become words that were now floating in the white light of the morning. “Might as well admit the obvious while I’m at it that I’m high on you, my impossible drug.”

Up high in the middle of nowhere. That pretty much sums it all up...

There it is again, the bitter aftertaste of a dream that had felt too real to be such. “I know how you love to entertain yourself,” she says into the darkness, refusing to open her eyes.
Warm breath fans across her cheek. “Do you now?” A painfully familiar voice reaches her ear.
She doesn’t answer. There is no need to feed this illusion any longer. She knows this voice is part of the same impossible dream that still keeps her under his spell. The solution is easy. All she has to do is open her eyes and the magic will dissipate. Yet for some reason beyond any logic she refuses. “You are just a figment of my deluded mind,” she says, eyes still closed.
She can feel a smile in his voice when he asks, “Are you sure?”
She’s not.
And she cannot hold back her tears anymore...

I lock my lighthouse up and head west. My lighthouse. I smirk but keep my thoughts at bay. I am at a standstill in my life after the dizzying chatter of the winter’s last hurrah and I want the same stillness in my head. I want to pretend to be oblivious about the destination of my train of thoughts. .
I head west and the beach of blindingly white sand after a while gives way to that of pebbles that make each step into a torture. .
Why did I bother coming here? The horizon is still blank, has been ever since the ship with sails made of starlight disappeared into the morning mist. .
Mayhap there was no ship to begin with. Mayhap the captain I was looking for was merely a figment of my feverish mind contrived to please my delusional heart. .
[Don’t you dare take blasphemous words like these into your mind. And do not let their poison drip from your lips.] .
Who said that? .
My gaze locks on a boy who feeds glass pearls to the lazy growling sea. I know this boy. I know his pearls of glass. I take a step and he looks up giving me a smile that will take me an eternity to decipher for the amount of truths and promises layered in his eyes... #cinematic #storytelling #storytime #bnw_planet_2019 #fujifilmxseries #biancoenero #masters_in_bnw #beachfront #bw_instantscatcher #bw_perfect #bnw_captures #bnwmood #mirrorless #incredible_bnw #tmoosouls #scacco_matto_ #bnw_legit #fujifilm_uk #fujifilmglobal #fujifilmnordic #balticsea #balticnature #roamlatvia #passionpassport #traveldeeper
I’m walking on sunshine this Sunday morning, ignoring the clouds at a point blank range. I know I’m in love, yet I have no clue who my heart has given itself to...
