picture poetry: balance.

Spottet in the park,
fire and ice, way after dark
secret lovers at their usual spot, she knows where to find him
it’s right around the block
every night they linger in each others charm
he’s having her back
she’s holding his arm
cause they know the world would be truly lost
if they’d handle it like Robert Frost
and go and try to divide the pie.
There is a reason why opposites attract
and in my head it looks just like that.

I know I really like a picture when it makes me start thinking with matching ends.

Happy ever after… I guess at the end of the day, thats what we’re all searching for in a relationship. But considering the world and mindstate we live in, is that what we are instinctly searching for even realistic ?

Let’s sum some things up a little. On the one hand a big part of our whole being is about consuming, so is the world around us. Consuming is part of our lifestyle, part of us. I don’t wanna go to far on this cause it is not what this is about, but I think we can agree on that our lifes have become very consume orientated in many ways. We don’t buy new things because we can’t use the old ones anymore for some reason, or because they are worn out or because the new I Pad is what we always needed. We buy them because we want to have them, always looking for an upgrade, always on to the next one. I think this can be generalized starting from looking at simple things like body lotion to things like shoes, clothes,cars….

Then on the other hand we hold on to an idea of love that represents spending a whole life with the same person. A concept of love that is totally opposed to our way of living. It’s like telling someone  that wearing the same, not the same lookin, but the exact same shirt for like 30 years is THE THING . This is a paradoxal kind of fucked up situation. Is our generation stucked in some deep 21th century mind/heart confusion? Heart striving to find the one, mind always on to the next one. Is this our great depression ? Our great war? A war that takes place inside of us?

Two…..
Let’s switch to a bigger perspective than just romantic love. Maybe that’s just me, but..
