Anne Sexton From Complete Poems

i always forget how addicting it feels to read a book and not want to put it down. it happens every time; i should know it by now, should know that i'm going to spend the rest of forever chasing that high, feeling it every time i read a new page or crack a new paperback spine or read a new dedication, but it’s always a pleasant surprise. i think we all know it, right? one more chapter before bed, one more chapter after that, so on and so forth. we all know that the inevitable will happen and we all know we'll will be sucked into the story for the foreseeable future, but we never plan for it. we never schedule it. it's a spontaneous familiarity, like knowing exactly what the crack of lightning looks like across the night sky but still watching through the window in a midnight storm. it's everything i could ever want and it's all that i have at the same time.

— TONI MORRISON, from ‘Beloved’.

The Ballad of Nora Lee

Song by Helldorado

Once upon a time there lived a lady young and fair

Raven hair and rosy cheeks and no one to compare

Daughter of a noble man in a little town

And her name was Nora Lee, and it was spoken all around

It's told that she was courted by two men of different kin

One of them a shoemaker that made boots of lizard skin

The other was the sheriff in this little town

And he swore he'd marry her or else he'd put her in the ground

One night the moon was brightly shining in the sky

She went to see the shoemaker and with him she did lie

"You are my own true love" she whispered soft and low

But they'd been spied upon that night, and soon the sheriff he would know

Then came a cold and dark night and the wind was blowin' free

The sheriff and his men they tied poor Nora to a tree

Full of wickedness they stole her maidenhead

Then they stabbed her with a knife 'till they were sure she was dead

Her body it was found the next day on the banks below

The news was heard and many hearts were filled with grief and woe

"The guilty one will soon be hung" the sheriff he did claim

And he called upon his men, the shoemaker to blame

The scaffold it was built and all the people gathered round

Just to watch that poor boy taken to his hangin' ground

The rope was tied around his neck for everyone to see

And as the hangman pulled the rope, then he would meet his Nora Lee

Not a specific time period but I like learning about wars throughout history.

The first person that comes to my mind is the little prince lol. I read its book at least once every year and it feels different each time.

A fresh brew.

Libraries.

The (500) Days of Summer soundtrack, it's lovely.

A cottage on the top of a mountain with an old, huge, and shady tree right beside it OR a mansion that I design myself and it has a huge garden and an art studio in the backyard.

Talking with my friend and sleeping.

Films: About Time, Her, Midnight in Paris. Books: Fesleğen by Hikmet Anıl Öztekin, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

No.

I haven't read much, I will update this later in my life.

Not sure.

I dont like either.

Not sure, all my life I have lived in placed with only 1 or 2 seasons.

I think I should be reading more poetry, I like it but I dont have a strong opinion on it at the moment.

Texting; no, emails; depends on who I am emailing.

I only put 50 songs in each playlist as I discover them, when there is 50 songs in a playlist, I create another one. Sometimes it takes months to reach 50, and sometimes only a couple of weeks. When I listen to my old playlist I can see how ı was back then.

Khaled Hosseini and Dan Brown.

Hot chocolate.

Meadows, I guess.

Mulberry.
