Of course, the post would not be complete without a poem, eh? Suggested by Eri, written in TREDONE, inspired by... ghosts from the past. 

Notebook

An open book.


I read you like

an open book

I see your embellished words

written fine as lies

in the colour of melancholy

Yes

Your words are of the colour melancholy

in the language of Despair

of weeping smoke and the season of mists

sometimes I cry when I read

liquid songs streaming down the page

Twenty love poems

a song of desolation.


I run my hand down your spine

as you drop to the floor.

 Because I've been wicked busy (yeah, right), I haven't been able to update you all with my fantastic and wholly interesting life, so I apologize for that (XD). Anyway, I'm sure you're all eager to hear about the past week. Well, here goes.

I went out with Adelle, twice. Pergola was fun, indeed. She kept rambling on about the inevitability of my arrival and the fact that it was only a matter of time, etc. It was cute :P But then again, I don't think in terms of inevitability: the realm of the possible sounds so much more sensible. Anyway, let's not delve into philosophy. The day after the day after that, we went out and watched Metro Station :D. Not that I knew them, but Adelle seemed to love 'em, so I figured, why not? Until we saw ghosts of our pasts, haha. #6 for her, Darrel for me :P We were both weak in the knees after that, :)). Otherwise, the outing was thoroughly enjoyable. 

The second first day of class was, while tiring, definitely exciting. LR33 is definitely the craziest block in the CLA :) Kinda missed them during the 10-day suspension. 

Got soaked through to the bone today. Then I had to jog. Rain makes me emo.*

Anyway, that's it for now :P Short update to keep you dedicated viewers happy. I'll try to write more next time.

Sweet dreams,

*I'm really sleepy. Hence, the short sentences. They keep me from saying something stupid. 

 Off to Pergola with Adelle. :) I shall update this post presently. :D

Because I thought it deserved a place here. This one's for you, Adelle :D

Blackbird


You, who are tormented and craven

Battered by the tongues of life

Their harsh words

Its teeth, grating, unwanting

Rise

Like a blackbird in the dead of night

 

You who are chased

By your ghosts, pale and unrelenting

Clouded dreams of haze and fog and smoke

Seep into reality

Making everything unclear

Sing

Like a lovebird in the city smog

 

You who are chained

By your past

By your present

By your future

Look to me

Look into my eyes of antimony and rose

Fall into my arms of bronze and steel

I will unshackle you

 

 

Let me be your bridge

To guide you over rivers

And lakes and oceans and seas

Let me be your compass

Your lamp

Your friend

To guide you through the night

To clear away the fog

To take away your cold chains

To reveal your rusted heart

 

You saved me once

Sleep in my embrace.

 Whoooo! Second post! Hahaha :) Here it goes

I wouldn't call myself a writer of many words, so once again, this will be a bit brief (:P).

Left the house today, took a trip down memory lane and visited my old school. It's still a little empty, save for the odd student here and there, and of course, the IB people. My former teacher was, of course, delighted to see me. Ms. Sargee and I went out for a snack, had a laugh, reminiscing, and talking about the marvel that is the stroller and the baby crib. I got home, then Kimi, Cookie, Thirdy and I went down to Pergola and had ice cream :) That's pretty much it for today. Nothing too exciting, but then again, too much excitement is harmful to the health, eh?

So, here I am, writing this in bed, and I feel a sense of contentment wash over me. I realize that, despite recent experiences, and the not-so-recent ones, life is good. Life is great, actually. All we really need to remain content, happy, IMHO, is an awesome family, friends you value, a roof over your head, and food in your belly. And music. Can't forget music. Ice cream. Video games. AC units. Chocolate. 

The truth is, the the things we treasure exist not because we have the right to, but because we've been given the privilege, the responsibility, to have something so dear to us that we'd actually treasure it. 

Why I'm talking about this now, I'm not so sure. But it's important to me, to understand not the price, but the value of what we have. Sometimes, I take for granted what I have. Sometimes, I can't help but thank God for what I've been given. 

Anyway, that's pretty much it :D Thanks for taking the randomness, and I hope I didn't sound too preachy :P Maybe it's the lack of sleep. I dunno. Tomorrow's another day, another experience! Goodnight to all :)

Lyric/Song of the day: "Crack the shutters open wide, I want to bathe you in the light of day..."
                                                                                                              Crack The Shutters by Snow Patrol

Didn't want to leave you hanging, so I present to you...

Stars

Here.

Alone.

On the brink of space, and life, I find myself

Held back by the sun and the stars

In cold, infinite space

Unyielding as fire and honor

Crushing the essence of vitality from my being

My cold being

Waiting simply for

The beginning.

 

While the stars twinkle up high

I lay here, on the neat grass

Artificial.

Shooting stars shoot by

The red moon rises

I wait. My day will come.

 

I feel neither cold nor death

Simply time passing.

 Ah, yes. The first one. Let's get started, shall we?

Because it is, in fact, early in the morning, (2:30, to be exact), the nature of this post will short. Man, I sounded like a robot there, didn't I? Let's redo that.

It's kinda late (or, early, if you prefer), so I'll make my first post short. :D

Well, at 2:30 in the morning, the mind isn't as sharp as we'd like it to be. So don't expect much from this one. :D Anyway, I'd like to welcome you all (who's going to read this? Hahahaha) to my Livejournal page. Expect everything and anything here, from the extraordinary to the mundane. I do hope you'll all enjoy reading about me: yes, it makes me uncomfortable (hahaha).

So, hopefully, I'll be able to write something for tomorrow :) Thanks for reading!
