here's a message i sent to my girlfriend and she fell in love over and over again.

I hate you

I can never tell you that

I care about you

You will always hear me say

You disgust me

There’s no way  

I will love you for the rest of my life.

OF COURSE I TOLD HER TO READ THE MESSAGE BACKWARDS

SELLING THE SOUL

here before you lies my life's worth
summation of love gained and lost
for a cent and fame it is yours
much pain it was anyway

i have believed in love
while watching the transience of dawn
but i will dance with Bacchus all night
if the Midas touch i will have

i will no longer herald with the muses
i will no longer ponder with Copernicus
too much pain it was
and my heart's loss i can vainly fill

for nothing will i yield thee
precious soul of mine
not fame, money or a soft thigh
for thou art beyond them all


I have always wondered what it feels like to sell one's soul. what it means and what it causes.
After careful observation, i have come to realize that nearly everyone of us are guilty of selling our soul at the altar of ambition and greed.
This poem addresses that issue head on and proffers a better way out.
 

Two days ago, i posted a picture and asked you guys to share your opinions.
After waiting for a while i have decided to share my own view on the subject.
HERE'S THE PICTURE AGAIN

If i am to name this picture, i would most probably call it: THE DANCING PENGUINS
it portrays a scenario of happiness and a carefree disposition
a group of happy animals just having fun
you see, more than often we are trapped in our ambition that we do not take out time to enjoy the good things of life like:
WATCHING THE SUN SET
WATCHING THE MOON ROVE
FEELING THE WIND CARESS YOUR FACE
WATCHING A BABY MOVE AND SMILE
DANCING TO THE RHYTHM OF HAPPINESS
SINGING IN THANKSGIVING TO GOD FOR LIFE
FALLING IN LOVE

Look at this picture and tel me what you think
i know it might sound a like just a waste of time but please humor me
by tomorrow i will give my own opinion
cheers...

                    ONION LAYERS
the only me i remember hides beneath a cloak
oft different from the soul beneath
i have grown too used to her complexion
that i cannot fashion the shape of my soul

so i dug deep into the vortex of me
and more layers i found where layers left
each peel a newer cloak of uncertainty
till i am left with an ugly stub

only then did i fathom the paradox
that who we are lies not within
but is rooted in the source from whence
that within was curbed

so i took my fruit and married the earth
for then i realized there was never a mystery
i am just an onion fruit
made to flavor the lives of others

THE SHADOWS THAT LURKS
Fading like a shadow, evanescent like snow
this shadow we call life and do not know
here today a beacon of hope and certitude
there tomorrow an emblem of fate's ingratitude

Tears of regret, deep rooted pain and dread
of life's transiency and fate's cruelty
but that also fades with the shadow
the shadow that we now know

Too young she was
still blossoming in love
now gone beyond 
the circle of darkness and void

For if we are by our acts remembered
then she never lived
but in puerile smiles and cries
and vain tantrums and wild dances

Indeed what shall her epitaph read?
what requiem shall we sing in dark clothing?
what shall dwell in her pages
Oh! by whom shall we remember her


Too young she was
still blossoming in love
now gone beyond 
the circle of darkness and void

Alas! young and full of love
now to be reborn
we shall remember her legacy
the legacy of a story untold




what do you do when you witness the death of a very young child?
how do you feel?
i wrote this poem in response to that question and that experience.
believe me, it is not the best of feeling, it crushes your hope in life and fairness and it smolders your believe in fate.
but such is life
OR WHAT DO YOU THINK?
