Passion

There are times that you feel that your life is in monotone, black and white or hueless. But there are chances that aid to put color to your life albeit temporary, its good enough to let you realize your existence. I thought, I am alive then.


dreams



These may be quick moments, a blurry vision but its enough to put a melody to my heart. Never thought I will be using the word heart here. Well, I must accept I have one and its still working in good conditions.

I think we all dream to find our destiny, our better half asap. But we can't control it, fate has its way of scheduling things despite the efforts you make. Life is real, not ideal, but its not wrong to set your path on an ideal way. Just lower your expectations because if things result to a not-so-favorable one, you might find it difficult to recover. Save some energy just for yourself.

And yes, I hope more of an ideal relationship will come soon. Maybe. Fingers-crossed.

3 Days with Betsy Faye

Yesterday...

We ran around the town plaza,
chased butterflies and dragonflies;
bought some cotton candies, laughed
and counted each other's missing teeth.

I loved you, Betsy.

Today...

We walk out of church,
showers of rice bless us;
waltz to the wishes of guests
while your lips rest on mine.

I love you, Faye.

Tomorrow...

We will sit on rocking chairs,
listen to the tic-tac's of our false teeth;
we'll stare at the pendulum
and wait until our clock of life stops.

I will love you, Betsy Faye.

Life can be a fantasy too. Fantasy in a real world. Listen to the music within you.

    I agree that the higher bar we set, the more disappointed we might get when things turn sour. But hey, who would stop reaching for higher? =)

  9. I love these two lines:

    'laughed
    and counted each other's missing teeth'

    and 'listen to the tic-tac's of our false teeth'

    Refreshing imagery.

  13. Of course. One hopes. One wins, one loses. One hopes again. The 'time' of this is wonderfully tuned.
