A love letter?

Hey,
We were asked to write a love letter, so of course I'm writing it to you.
It's hard to write a love letter. Even to you, who occupies most of my thoughts.
I wish I could see you. I wish I could touch you. Instead, I have to imagine.
Imagine you standing beside me. Imagine holding your hand. Imagine the conversations, the jokes, the feelings.
Without you all I feel is an ache. It hurts, like my body is caving in. Like my heart has been replaced by a black hole.
But the thing that hurts the most is the fact this can never happen.
I know you'll never say my name. You'll never smile at me or greet me with a hug. You'll never hold me, listen to me or reassure me.
You'll never miss me.
How depressing.

Haikus

That ache in my chest 
When I watch aeroplanes fly
Reminds me of you.

***

Dancing like snowflakes
We fall in grace and beauty
Wonderful descent.

***

The stars watch me search
Jealously wishing upon
My own hopes and dreams.

***

You make me feel like
An avalanche that has stopped
Halfway down a hill.

***

Tomorrows feelings 
Are just like believing in
Something permanent.

***

People always say
A time will come when you know
What will happen next.

***

His life burnt my eyes
And sometimes I wonder if
I could see my own.

***

I find myself in
Those times when you look at me
Like I'm far away.

***

I'm writing so many
Haikus I've forgotten how to
Count to five and seven.

An inspirational song

This is an inspirational song for women.It also has awesome flute parts. Nice.

Tigger

When I told my mum I had put Spud and Minka on my blog for inspiration, she insisted that I put her dog, Tigger, on too.
Tigger is blind. He has no eyes. This does not stop him. He has titles in obedience and tracking. He is even a service dog. The above photo is of him in his special coat.
This is him waiting to track.

My dogs

because cute doggies count as sources of inspiration, right?
I mean, look at her curled on the beanbag
And little Spud in my bed
Seriously, how is that relaxing?
Now I can't go to bed

The only reason I read manga...

is for pictures like this

The Mysteries of Harris Burdick

This is a book by Chris van Allsburg.
It has fourteen illustrations and each is accompanied by a sentence.
The story behind this book is very interesting.
A man (Harris Burdick) turned up one day with these pictures and sentences. He said he had a story for each. They told him to bring to stories the next day. He doesn't turn up. They search for him. There are no records of any Harris Burdick.
These are very good prompts for stories, I find.
