You are like a breeze that
eases the turmoil
from
burning hurts
You are like a breeze that
wraps me around
in
sure security
You are like a breeze,
the most flirtatious of
all atmospheres
You are like a breeze that
belongs to
my
ocean pull
Rust
the sky is weeping
for the loss of
a loving mother
a supportive daughter
a caring friend
at the blooming age of 33
the wind is raging
against her murderer
a chameleon charmed his way
into her innocent heart
a fungi corrupted her being
eventually caused her to
lose her defence
she is lying in repose
a beauty covered in rust
like a tainted rose
Cane
she is
as slim as a cigarette
as slender as a cane
only he
sees her through the smoke
knows her aiding quality
while others
are addicted to her
desire her punishment
Impression of a couple books
To be honest, I haven’t read a book that left an impression for quite some time. Most books I have read in the last few years have been just for passing time. Once I had read them, I almost could not recall much detail.
There are two books are like gems. They are in different genres and presented in independent brilliance. I consider myself a serious reader, not in a widely read way, but in a focus on serious topics way.
l’insoutenable légèreté de l’être (The Unbearable Lightness of Being) by Milan Kundera.
It is a novel depicts characters we may despise according to our moral codes and yet they are us in the everyday mental struggle. It left me thinking long after I finished reading.
Notches by Mike Ennenbach.
It is a short story collection filled with humour, heartaches, beauty and love. I have not been a short stories reader since secondary school. After reading Notches, I felt it was like a tasting tour in an ingenious writer’s mind.
Blurry past
some memories are a haze
no recollection of the first kiss
nor school graduations
it was like a tasteless fog
breakups used to taste like sour wines
hurtful words once felt like poisons
friendships were full of giggles
fun time used to be like sunshine
some memories are like sharks
they are capable of swallowing you alive
Pop covered Nan’s head with a tin bucket
dented it all over with a hammer
Ma attacked Pa full force
left fingernail scratches
some things once seen
cannot be unseen
I wish they were blurry
#songshare- Life Is Golden
I wonder
we don’t see people
we see our opinions
through people
she looks so thin
she is an anorexic
he has no front teeth
he is an addict
she has been diagnosed with
nasal cavity cancer
what do you expect
she is a chain smoker
he lost the custody of
his children
why are you so surprised
he is a drunk
when we are confronted with matters
beyond our own experience
or understanding
it is easier to
pose judgement or
be clinical about it
but
is that being helpful
wouldn’t it be more logical
to take it at face value
and empathise with the person
#songshare- Never Tear Us Apart
Cusp (Capricorn – Aquarius)
standing in the gap
and looking between
Saturn’s and Uranus’ rings
how does the goat reach the water bearer
does he follow the rocky path
and tread through the water ice
but only to discover
it is all just shimmering dust
isn’t it ironic
being on a cusp
does’t necessary give you
the benefit of both states
it often gives you false hopes
destined to disappoint
