January 2014 Themes
In the absence of a theme set from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
juxtaposie (Just drop me a line if you're still interested in this and want to get back into the queue for another month this year), here is your January 2014 pinch hit theme set from me!
Happy New Year to all of you!
"I wish I could make one story out of all these themes!" is the idea I had in mind while arranging these.
1 - here I dreamt I was a soldier
2 - double exposure
3 - I've seen your picture / your name in lights above it
4 - your face lights up when someone says, "It might be dangerous."
5 - because something beautiful was hidden there
6 - There's so much I want to say to you.
7 - things you need to forget
8 - about doubles and brothers and shadows
9 - where it has not rained for days
10 - the stars remain the same
11 - the past takes its meaning from whatever we do right now
12 - he does not want to come in
13 - I am very small
14 - I'd prefer you didn't think I'm cute.
15 - Are you going, brother?
16 - so far, this has been a one-way tale
17 - of coming-of-age during wartime, and never reaching the proper age
18 - you see time burning
19 - at the beginning of his life
20 - dreams will only break your heart
21 - men are not bought and sold with words alone
22 - They looked at each other, baffled, in love and hate.
23 - dance parties set to symphonies of social grace
24 - if they fail to feed the hungry monster
25 - love that drives you to death
26 - the art of looking interesting
27 - as seen from a poet's distance, while dressed in white
28 - don't look back, don't look back
29 - the future belongs to someone else
30 - but all stories end: you know that
31 - Otherwise, what's the point?

In February, look forward to themes from:sirvalkyrie! :)
Coming very soon: sign-ups to provide the themes! About 3/4ths of the months this year are currently open so it may not be too long a wait...!
