A Light

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: April 27th, 2009

There is a light in your eyes, I can not explain it's source. Perhaps you can. Has there ever been a moment that held you in sway. when you scarce could bear to move lest you break the sweet spell of silence. What ever it was that triggered that spark of thought/feeling I do not know for it will be different to each soul. But it must be there. [...]

A Thing Called Love

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: April 26th, 2009

There is a terrible thing called love. Such a cruel and heartless beast, with a power to fell we mortals with but a breath. A snake writhing and twisting never giving the opportunity to advance or retreat. Ever keeping us in vigilance lest it strike with killing venom. Or perhaps eyeing with stubborn silence waiting for you to up the ante or [...]

Forlorn Skies

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: April 21st, 2009

These forlorn skies are purple with haze, The trembling shores all beaten and worn. Time here is unmarred by endless days, My soul has been lost; I am tattered and torn. By day I stand under the beating sun, When the sands are white and hard. -Ezra Hilyer

Silent Watcher

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: April 21st, 2009

There are ten thousand stories here, people come and they go. I am the silent watcher, I see and do not tell. My soul is still; my eyes perceive yet do not betray the turmoil of emotion I endure. Some of these I know; others I desire to understand better. What purpose of existence is mine? Why has the hand of fate thrown this lot to me? Mankind [...]

The Damps Of Autumn – W.S. Landor

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: April 17th, 2009

The damps of autumn sink into the leaves and prepare them for the necessity of their fall; and thus insensibly are we, as years close around us, detached from our tenacity of life by the gentle pressure of recorded sorrow. W.S. Landor (1775 - 1864) I read that quote, once, twice; ten times. I wonder what unspoken grief pressed his hand to [...]

Sweeney Todd – Demon Barber Of Fleet Street

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: April 16th, 2009

I decided to watch 'Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street'. I heard a commentary on NPR, and wanted to see if Johnny Depp really could sing. He can. Not too often, one gets to see a gory musical, unless of course you flip the DVD over, and see Burtons' name on it. As filmmakers go; Tim Burton has simply the most original, [...]

Sad Velvet

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: April 15th, 2009

There are things slipping away from me. Little birds that don't sit on my chair-rails; and a dog that never comes to me when I forget to call her. Maybe I should put the phone back on the wall... I think enough time has passed. When the bell rings, I go down to see if there is anyone there, but there never is. I wonder if I [...]

Music

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: April 15th, 2009

I love music, all kinds and forms have some appeal, some more than others- but still, I feel that I can appreciate the art forms inherent in music. I carry around a fair variety of songs in my iPod, and listen to them throughout the day. When I am at work; I will listen to music, I have it going all day long, but when I am at home, or relaxing [...]

Moleskines

A quick photo, two Moleskines; a red, and a black. I love these things!!

Tatters + Stuff

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: April 13th, 2009

A lonely soul is caught in the weir of chance. Those who are lost have little to fear, For who can sing, laugh and jeer? We who are bound are the lonely lot, Fight; Conform. What then have we got? A bit of this, a bit of that, Owned by what we are; a piece of string, a busted hat. The care we had is lost, I must fight it, despite [...]
