T Daftar
A year has passed
So here's to you
I'll raise this glass
And drink it through

I'll find solace in Summer
When the Sun frees Her rays
On my porcelain skin
'tis my heart's favourite days

The sweet, mellow sound of your laughter will drown
In a sea of salt and dead memories
That sweet, mellow sound

I'll find solace in Winter
May Her clouds fill with rain
Her cold lips kiss my cheek
My skin stays the same

The dark, shallow scent of your body will fade
Yet the humid wet scent of cement
Will remain

I'll find solace in Autumn
Cherry blossoms and dreams
Birds sing their good news
Music flows like a stream

The heart-stopping touch of your hands on my skin
I'll forget it as soon
As this wine's kicking in

I'll find solace in Spring
Flowers bloom their bright hues
I'll watch swallows dancing
Oh idleness, I've nothing to lose

The bittersweet taste of your lips I'll find
Easy to regret
For wanton ways start with the lips
Then transpose to another set

So a full twelve months has come to pass
One season at a time
Yet the only thing my heart still clasps
Is your eyes
A reflection of mine

the yearning

  the heart-breaking

       what is this?

Is this what we asked for

    when we said those fateful words?

In a parallel world

        Maybe you'll get lucky

              And live a fairy-tale life

But here

   All you get
  
        is

            first the yearning

            (causes you to do irrational things)

                  then the heartbreak

                  (when he says no)

Yet still we do it

     what for?

Yet still we say those words

"I love you."
my life in short. okay, not exactly, but it saddens me when half the time, maybe more than half, this is what happens.

Hid my tears with makeup
      Curled my hair despite the burns
   Pierced through my desperation for
                            earrings
       Some may call me an attention
                              *****
        Or a girl who finally embraced   
                     her feminine side
                      But I don't care
      Your opinion is the only one that
                            matters
But you had the audacity not to notice
               *Your Porcelain Doll

bluebirds are dancing
larks are singing
flowers are blooming
sky is "blue-ing"

pollen is flying
breezes are whispering
the grass is waltzing
people are smiling

colors are bright
feelings are happy
bliss is about

and i am grinning.
(from ear to ear)

i've been thinking,
about the clouds up high
about the bright blue sky
about pie--just a slice
about everything nice

i've been thinking,
about true love
about courage--kind of
about happiness
about first kiss

i've been thinking,
that you don't need everything
to live your life,
that you don't need everything
to make you happy

There are those who are kind,
With sweet honey-filled hearts.

There are those who are wise,
Who see beyond what is there.

There are those who are loyal,
With not an ounce of betrayal.

There are those who are brave,
Who won't stop when they're scared.

And there are those who are passionate,
About everything there is.
