Confession? that sort of misunderstanding

Who can take it over? It is as moral

A peels an apple, while B kneels to God,
C telephones to D, who has a hand
On E's knee, F coughs, G turns up the sod
For H's grave, I do not understand
But J is bringing one clay pigeon down
While K brings down a nightstick on L's head,
And M takes mustard, N drives into town,
O goes to bed with P, and Q drops dead,
R lies to S, but happens to be heard
By T, who tells U not to fire V
For having to give W the word
That X is now deceiving Y with Z,
Who happens just now to remember A
Peeling an apple somewhere far away.

Picture of the day...

0 lend me some sugar.

Echo -

Come to me in the silence of the night;
Come in the speaking silence of a dream;
Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright
As sunlight on a stream;
Come back in tears
O memory, hope, love of finished years.

O dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter sweet,
Whose wakening should have been in Paradise,
Where souls brimful of love abide and meet;
Where thirsty longing eyes
Watch the slow door
That opening, letting in, lets out no more.

Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live
My very life again though cold in death:
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
Speak low, lean low,
as long ago, my love, how long ago!


Christina Rossetti

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Your breast is enough for my heart,
and my wings for your freedom.
What was sleeping above your soul will rise
out of my mouth to heaven.

In you is the illusion of each day.
You arrive like the dew to the cupped flowers.
You undermine the horizon with your absence.
Eternally in flight like the wave.

I have said that you sang in the wind
like the pines and like the masts.
Like them you are tall and taciturn,
and you are sad, all at once, like a voyage.

You gather things to you like an old road.
You are peopled with echoes and nostalgic voices.
I awoke and at times birds fled and migrated
that had been sleeping in your soul.

[listening to meri jaan (inside outside -josh]
[curremt mood okie dokie-active]

and my heart skipped few more beats
yesterday was a yay day. one of those days full of wonderful, memorable moments. and yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay for having the feeling that you're someone's a favouritest person in whom he can trust muchly and luv muchly and rely upon to be!there!for!him! :)

but the sadest part of the day was, when in a part of my phone call, there were lies in my truth. i just didn't like the idea of speaking someone for the very first time in your life n feeding her with a plate of dried lies . felt myself a bit uneasy, third class and completely drained "(N)" , because for a girl like me truth is everything. lie doesnt stand that long, n when it breaks n.... c'mon you know how you feels then. khair it was a part of it all, i didn't do that unintentionally nor i wasn't even intended to, but.. i was bound to keep my promise. i think it isn't such a big deal yea when you asked yourself to sacrifice for someone who means alot to you. its just i was quite concerned, i still am. anyhow .... hmm but yea i kinda wanna talk to you about it (i dunno if i would). so much for being practical hun. salt.

-
a note to myself:
and happiness really starts and ends with yourself. you can make it good for you, you know? yea i know jia..


umm..have to take a hike now. i'll smear more of MY EULOGY later.. cause in the end of the day..it's nothing much; but hey- it's everything to me!


tick tock. time to be in the kitchen, cook fast. take a bath, get properly dressed and wait for my bhai to come back home. rest will follow. see you yellowlane. :)

[mood restless for some unknown reasons]
[music to my ears edge of the ocean -ivy' grey's anatomy]
P.s. its the song im completely hooked up to these days. must listen.


is there even words? ..
i was thinking this morning about father's day. but not in the typical sense. well, i don't really give a damn about him or his day but still it always bothers me in days like these.. umm? nothing i guess. :) i don't want to write about him. i just want the day to end right now.


today i feel frustrated and detached from someone. i despise fathers day.
feeling like going up to someone n saying "BOO FCUKING HOO! get over it!!" i don't sympathize with stupidity. n i don't want to think of him.


Peekaboo! Papa i never luved you. :)


-
hmm..asides it, i wished the day to two of my favourite people. one is wajji bhai (father of my two little nieces). and the other is my delighted friend, who, luckily or unluckily (God knows) is still unmarried but is in deep luv with his unborns. ha :D - i luv the two of you. (:

[i stray a part of you is passion ..that part of you is me]

i do think that the right company does wonders for you.

i think seriously THIS IS WHERE I FIT IN. i feel so loved and cared for i melt inside. and i feel so comfortable there is no where else in the world i'd be, absolutely. so i don't care what we do, and i don't care where we go, because anywhere with you is worth everything else.

and i became such an optimistic pig overnight. and i have suddenly a new mission it is to be happy happy and make just one someone else happy. so im looking to make someone happy and i believe i just made a few already. hehe =)

today im filled with very much luv, and im filled with gratitude n happiness n wonderful things and my heart sings beautiful romantic songs..


again, i love you. never forget that.

Scenes From the Battle of Us
by Cate Marvin

You are like a war novel, entirely lacking
female characters, except for an occasional
letter that makes one of the men cry.

I am like a table
that eats its own legs off
because it’s fallen
in love with the floor.

My frantic hand can’t find where my leg
went. You can play the tourniquet. A tree
with white limbs will grow here someday.

Or maybe a pup tent
that’s collapsed in on itself,
it so loves the sleep
of men sleeping beneath it.

The reason why women dislike war movies
may have something to do with why men hate
romantic comedies: they are both about war.

Perhaps I should
live in a pig’s trough.
There, I’d be wanted.
There, I’d be tasted.

When the mail bag drops from the sky
and lands heavy on the jungle floor, its letters
are prepared to swim away with your tears.

One letter reads:
I can barely feel
furtive. The other:
I am diminishing.

Thoughts of the day..

calling me sweetness,
making me breathless,

why is it that the most simple things are always the most complicated?


~*~*~
big things are happening to so many people around me. it's such an exciting time to be alive. let's hope the good things keep coming ...


~*~*~
teddy can't sit.
cannot breathe, dance or talk. but teddy can smile.
smile so much that it get sickening. it burns.
She luves it. his precious little paws. but even her holding him won't stop him feeling empty.

what is his worth in her life? where does she stands in his life?
he will get lost alone the way. fade.
she will all alone in a crowded room.
but teddy's smile will always be there. even when he's not okie.
alone. forever.

She can't help him. He can't help himself.


~*~*~
As i stared at your faint picture.
after all, what does a man do that he must, for her, to be hers?

~*~*~
this is the first week of the rest of my life.

i lie there. far i have fallen beneath the surface of it all.

You’re beautiful
~Simon Armitage

because you’re classically trained
I’m ugly because I associate piano wire with strangulation

You’re beautiful

because you stop to read the cards in newsagents’ windows
about lost cats and missing dogs.
I’m ugly because of what I did to that jellyfish
with a lolly-stick and a big stone.

You're beautiful because for you, politeness is instinctive, not a marketing
campaign.
I’m ugly because desperation is impossible to hide.

Ugly like he is,
Beautiful like hers,
Beautiful like Venus,
Ugly like his,
Beautiful like she is,
Ugly like Mars.

You’re beautiful because you believe in coincidence and the power of thought.
I’m ugly because I proved God to be a mathematical impossibility.

You’re beautiful because you prefer homemade soup to the packet stuff.
I’m ugly because once, at a dinner party,
I defended the aristocracy and wasn’t even drunk.

You’re beautiful because you can’t work the remote control.
I’m ugly because of satellite television and twenty-four hour rolling news.

Ugly like he is,
Beautiful like hers,
Beautiful like Venus,
Ugly like his,
Beautiful like she is,
Ugly like Mars.

hey joyfuls,

Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: "I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."

And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."

- Genesis 9:8-16


there was the most beautiful rainbow outside my window yesterday - i didn't take a photo so you'll have to take my word for it.
and it was tangibly exciting! because of the reminder that rainbows are of God's mercy and faithfulness to his people. the same God who made that covenant with noah knows and loves us intimately, and actually allows us to call him our father.

Moving slowly into the setting sun
Keeping secrets away from everyone
Staring out into another world
Tide is rising, but time is standing still

Ocean city girl
Is smiling
Ocean city girl
Is flying

The night is falling; the streetlights start to glow
No one’s there when the cracks begin to show
They can’t hurt her like she’s been hurt before
No one here can get near her anymore

I am so thankful that we serve a God who can bring beauty from ashes because there are days when I only see ashes around me. I only see the burnt up remains of a ruined marriage. I only see the scarred broken hearts of my children lying on the living room floor and I don’t even know where my heart is any more. But God can make something from the ashes. He is. I know He is.

Because there are other days when it smells like spring even though it is the dead of winter and in my mind that is the breathe of heaven stiring up healing in our broken burnt up souls.
freedom for captives
good news for the poor
comforting those who mourn
beauty from ashes
gladness for mourning
praise instead of despair
God is in the rebuilding, restoring and renewing business. Glory.

There's more beauty in the truth, even if it is dreadful beauty. The storytellers at the city gate twist life so that it looks sweet to the lazy and stupid and weak, and this only strengthens their infirmities and teaches nothing, cures nothing, nor does it let the heart soar.

Fugu Soup Blues

"Those who eat fugu soup are stupid. Those who don't eat fugu soup are also stupid."
--Japanese proverb

Nothing good can come out of eating
something named porcupine fish. It's like
playing Russian Roulette when you cook it --

the pulse of toxin in its sweet little body
can kill thirty men. But this is the most delicious

of all fishes, the sweet meat almost sugared
and the salty broth mix -- it's worth any death.
Can you taste the pure poison hidden

in the skin folds? Can you forget what you eat
may kill you even as you wipe your mouth

with the back of your hand? Consider the way
the porcupine fish dies: it is the only fish
that can close its eyes. When a cleaver comes

near its head, it even winces. Sushi chefs complain
of the noise it makes on the chopping block --

like crying -- even though fishermen always stitch
its small mouth shut. And the blinking.
Don't we expect fish eyes to be dead-black

and dumb? You cannot stop this hunger. When
something this good can kill you, every pin prick

of white pain just adds more flavor. When
the waiter with the curvy smile asks if you want
seconds, please, I beg of you -- set down your spoon.

Big Girls Don't Cry

The smell of your skin lingers on me now
Your probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, Myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But Ive got to get a move on with my life
Its time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
Ill be your best friend and you'll be mine
Valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if u want to
Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But its time for me to go home
Its getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

But I've got to get a move on with my life
Its time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry

YOU.

How you must have suffered against getting accustomed to me,
my savage, solitary soul, my name that sends them all running.
So many times have we seen the morning star burn, kissing our eyes,
and over our heads the grey light unwind in turning fans.

My words rained over you, stroking you.
A long time I have loved the sunned mother-of-pearl of your body.
I go so far as to think you own the universe.
I will bring you happy flowers from the mountains, bluebells,
dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses.

I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.

Maybe I’m amazed at the way you’re with me all the time
Maybe I’m afraid of the way I leave you

- Lately...

 When I was a child
a story was told
about the devil
and a girl so bold.
He offered her riches,
a fortune of gold,
and lovers abound.
But she lifted her soul,
she lifted her soul clean.
Like the story was told
on a dark country road
the same man appeared to me...

But I reached, I reached
through the rain to the Devil's feet.

Now twenty years later
to the place I return where I scorned the angels
for a passion that burned.
There set in a tree
a knot twisted and turned,
the face of a creature Hell bound.
So long ago
could my mind've played jokes on me?
As darkness sets in,
unavoidable sin,
the truth I try not to believe....

That I reached, I reached
through the rain to the Devil's feet.
