032310 Music Box

There was a music box on the ground
Next to a piano, polished and proud
The piano sang a mellifluous sound
A string of elegant resonance aloud

A soft sonata, a delicate work of art
Towering over the box, small and mute
Mesmerized, and refusing to part
Sophisticated in its black suit

A grand finale, exploding applause
The devoted spectators go on home
The suit stripped gone with evident flaws
Strolling along the stage, free to roam

Back and forth along the waiting keys
Black and white, clear emotions uttered
A song to search for a way to appease
Inept over passion, raw and cluttered

A frustrated cry and a distressed plea
Reaching for the waiting box, shaking
A soundless hope to be please set free
As if the key to melancholy was waking

A frail tinkling melody calls out to tears
A tender stroking hand, as if petting mink
A kind, grey memory eases the fears
No longer shall this yearning heart sink

It tinkled and sang a song of its own
It calmed and loved quietly, always there
Whispered to things that have never grown
A reminisce to a time when things seemed fair


This one reminds me of the book Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald. That book is so depressing. >->''

032210 Dying Flowers

There’s petals on the table
Spilling onto the floor
Not from a ‘once upon a time’ fable
Left dusty in a drawer

There are shards scattered in the room
From the vases thrown around
And the mirrors cracked from gloom
That protested with sickening sounds

There are stains on the carpet
From tears that had fell
Equally bitter as equally wet
Leaving behind an empty shell

There are wrinkles in the covers
From clutching screaming pain
From eyes that see nothing that recovers
From skin that’s only comforted in rain

Above him where she had curled crying
Her hero back home from the war
And there are flowers lain dying
Around her on the floor

Me = Post #101

I didn't realize that I already had 100 posts until just now. >-< Haha...confiding in typing to the Internet to announce how I feel. Sounds like I need to find more interests when I have to put it like that. Le sigh.... Oh wells, blogging is actually pretty fun. =) I just see it as another form of expression. Like Teko says, "Make your presence known." Haha. =) Speaking of Teko, I saw him at a workshop over the weekend. It was pretty cool to see him again. I was half expecting another lesson in all honesty. I had a lot of strawberries at the Saturday class, so there's a plus. ^^

sidenote: I wonder what strawberries and white chocolate taste like together. Hrm. Food for thought. =)

032010 Falling or Flying

I’m falling but I don’t know where I am
A flailing lion or a scared, trembling lamb?
Have I slipped from reality or the sky?
Or have I simply let my racing heart fly?
Why have the moments seem blurred
You aren’t a prince the first or third
Why do I bother finding a dream in armor?
When I don’t even recognize the feelings you stir
Do I look like I’m dressed in blue and white?
Chasing rabbits and tea party invites?
Have I fallen through a rabbit hole or time?
Or is this something blooming in its prime?
I don’t understand, I don’t comprehend
Are you here to help my heart ascend?
I’m stumbling through swirling lights and air
Between love and war, is it really that fair?
Falling or flying, I don’t know which
Is this me falling into cupid’s niche?
Falling or flying, is it that one or the other?
All I know is I’m not giving my heart soon to another


Not all that fond of this one...but I'll have to keep it for the sake of future reflection of progress....So....mushy.... >-<'' -cringe-...Really not used to this...

031710 My Non-Fairy Tale

I remember I took my dreams that day
And put them locked and all away
I was told to see reason and be awake
That my hopes were full of glitter and fake

For I can’t be like Sleeping Beauty, Aurora
I don’t have her golden curls and gentle aura
And you can’t just arise one day to find
That the one for you for your soul and mind

I thought on and thought some more
And I can’t be like Cinderella who started poor
I have no magic pumpkin, or silver gown
No stairs to lose my slipper while running down

And being Ariel is too far fetched
No air in my lungs stays even if I first stretched
With her vision to dance on streets
Sit by her Eric happily married in their seats

I have no liberty to be Jasmine’s sort
To have Aladdin who flies carpets for sport
Have a whole new world shown to my eyes
By the one who let me touch the night skies

No golden dress worn by Princess Belle
No expectations to break a mystic spell
No moments mesmerized by a rose’s charm
No helping furniture or stuffy butler alarm

But then again I’m no princess in need
No pink sashes or glittery lace indeed
But the one I can be is Wendy Darling
Gazing at star Neverland sparkling

For..maybe I don't have to be in a fairy tale
No fairy godmother to say that love shall prevail
Maybe I just have to live and wait
And if I'm lucky...I'll meet my soul mate

031710 Clearly Blind

There is no sin, but no right
There is shared silence, but no fight
There is no regret, but defiance
But then again, there’s not much difference
A gentle brush and a playful shake
The lock I put on is about to break
A little squirm against the cold
Not minding, but your hands warmer to hold
A bubbling, escaping Juliet sigh
Thoughts and memories carry the heart high
The impossible reason’s fear settling in
Perhaps this is punishment, evading sin?
A creeping shiver, those natural fears
The cliché phobia that ends in tears
A clasp of hands, a wish in night’s prayer
But first to know past the first, curious layer
Wish upon a smile of Romeo’s answered return
Sighing again, there are so many things to learn

Me = Owner of My First Pair of Plastic Glasses

No longer metal. Plastic now. Vous etre plastique. =) A new set of eyes, to be corny enough. Haha. I apologize for the awkward expresion. I was frustrated that I couldn't hold the camera still enough, which ended in me looking like I had my wisdom teeth pulled out. Charming...

Despite the sarcasm (still trying to lessen that..), I'm in a particularly good mood today. Must have something with finally settling and giving in to the youth's stupidity. (See post: Me = A Case of Youth's Stupidity) It actually doesn't sit all that badly with me, in fact....it sits pretty well with me at the moment. Definitely holding record for the fastest to ever fall on my face though. xD Definitely a new experience. Hopefully I have enough smarticles to get myself through this one. It seems familiar and foreign at the same time. If that made any sense at all.... Sigh..I'll figure it out, just watch. It'll come together. ^^ Gotta be optimistic.
