you and I stood in
silence

our hearts joined
as *one
Poem for my wife Jocelyn
I saw her sitting on a bar chair
Tall ebony skinned and dark hair
I couldn't take off my gaze on her
I watch her lips as she sip through the glass
Her skin shining and glowing like a black diamond
I couldn't think of anything else but her
Deep inside me I know I fell for her
I haven't seen her before, but it seems as if I have known her all my life

Never knew she was also taking a gaze at me not until our eyes meet each other
I never wanted her to notice I was into her, but I felt she knew already cos she gave me a welcome smile
I was overwhelm by her smile, I started having stupid thoughts about her
Maybe she is also into me
Maybe she fell for me as I did
Maybe the feelings  is mutual

I left my seat to hers
Never. Said a word
She said to me take me home
Its a **** cold night
Take me by the hands
Take me somewhere new
Yes I don't know u
But am with u
I feel I knew u from far
I felt so excited cos am actually right about the smile she gave me
We felt same for each other for the first time
We felt we have known each other for a life time
We felt same thing
Same day
Same time
Same moment
We felt love at first sight

Love at first sight is for real
Cos we human love our mums at first at sight at birth
"...There are miracles in the way their eyes linger, wishes in hands that are kept folded to still the trembling.

There is wonder in knowing that, someday, they will never have to let go, ever again.

This is what I fight for, this is what I've waited for, this is what gives me hope for the future.

This is what's meant to be.


...But late at night, when the bed that waits for me is empty, I fold wishes in my hands, and shed tears for what cannot be."
I had a day of multiple journal entries.

Of course, not all of it was worth mentioning, but I reread them recently, and I really liked this bit...

He was an exister
Was bestowed the breath of mundanity
Never questioned
His parents
His teachers
Grew up to be a lawyer
Not to bring justice
But to be a lawyer
Because he never questioned
His parents
His teachers
And then he retired
He had saved all of his earnings
Not because he needed to
But because he never questioned
His parents
His teachers
Society
Finally he had retired
At last, he could live
But before he could
He took his last breath of mundanity
He died
