Yet another morning
Followed by a starry night
Why am I seeing darkness
And not a single trace of light?

people who
genuinely
actually
truly

listen

12 hours subscription,
2 minutes noodles,
1 hour laundry,
24 hours delivery.

When should I think?
When should I feel?
Everything so fast and fleeting.
Everything so instant.

I need a moment,
A moment to just be still.
To acknowledge I am still human,
Not some "time-operated" machine.

I need to take a deep breath,
I need to feel the calm,
I need to meditate,
Feel the fresh air in my lungs.

For a moment pause my thoughts from this hustle and bustle,
Just for a moment!!

His escape was art, Her escape was books.
His companion was cats, Her companion was a dog.
His amusement was baking, Her amusement was running.
His passion was teaching, Her passion was dancing.
His melody was jazz and blues , Her melody was country.
His choice was him, Her choice was then immaterial.
His words were "maybe we are not meant to be",
Her words were "wish you gave it another try".
His preference was settlement, her preference was improvement.
His goodbye was a hug, Her goodbye was a tear.
Moved on, yet the flashbacks return!!!!
Slowly we grew old
Slowly we forget the things we wanted
the relationships we valued
our manners also faded
and the dreams we planned to pursue.

Then suddenly "SLOW" doesn't seem so slow anymore.

dog-eared carte du jour
coffee-table writing, first try of a haiku
He asked me to marry him
But he hated himself
