Orfred - Jaflong

A very, horrible rough sketch of Jaflong, for Orfred.



Jaflong
by Orfred

vast skies, the clear road
there's a great divide
under the same stars

night time, she was gone
so we traveled on
to jaflong

borderside, bored of home
bored a hole
through my heart

parting always, leaves us face to face
to face our fates
parting always,leaves us side by side
to side with different ways

stood on a hill, looked beyond
the grass was green
where she stood strong

She left me hills for mountains
Must have thought I couldn't climb them
You can break the land
But the river won't stand between us
So we swam,
We boated
over the rocks
clearest of water from your mountaintops
Flooded my thoughtsl

We drank to the losses
We drank to the gains
Got high as fuck into the morning
We'd never be the same
If the bridges have already broken
Let broken remain
As long as this heart is alive
There will be
no
real
divide

I really like fireflies, too.

"I feel like i can't do anything but follow you

We've had short kisses. And when you pull away, its like when you catch a firefly and it just slips out your hands

Tiny drops of happiness

I really like fireflies"

I want to yell these days. I miss yelling. I yelled all morning at mom for no reason. It wasn't the normal shouting and screaming that arises from being angry. It was just me wanting to use my voice. There's no North South to go to anymore. There's no office. There's a lot of work to be done, but working alone means procrastinating as much as I can. Lethargy has been a big weakness, but I'll admit I try to overcome it. I break away from the monotony sometimes. 

For example, I saw Star Wars today, and worked a little bit before I went. The excitement allowed me to work. Weird. I wasn't ready to take such a huge risk, but I must. I hope God's blessings are well upon me. 

Anyways, every time I see an amazing story being told on film, my old dreams of being a storyteller resurface. I was thinking about Edge today, and what a story it is. Everyone I have told the story to have been captivated by it. So I started writing. I don't have a lot of time to draw, but it would do justice if I at least wrote down my stories and gathered my thoughts. I started with The Book of Blunder. I have to finish it before I can even think of writing Edge.

Here are old drawings of characters I had planned for Edge.These were done back in 2007. 

2016

I was resolute in 2015 being my year of music. 2016 will be my year of discipline and hard work. May God-bless me the year ahead.

Peace and love and a happy new year to family, friends, and loved ones.
