crépuscule

le ciel est tombé
quand j'ai chanté au claire de la lune
la neige pour partager
j'aurais la capturée toute pour vous
alors, vous me manquez
mon cher, mon doux
ceci notre minuit
dansez-vous avec votre dame sous les étoiles
jusqu'à ce que le soleil nous brûle?

Buoyant

Fall fails to fade, with a sentimental virtue.
A calendar of flowers in partial bloom
Hangs in my room
Sways to the sound of a distant memory.
Still so far but not away from me

I was there with you by the rocks
A portrait of the crashing Atlantic waves 

And horizon in blue
You with your sunglasses, and black t-shirt
Salty sweet breathes in the air
Places to go to, and places we've been.

Don't lose sight of me now

I'm a passenger docking the harbor of this
Thoughtless sea of certainty

Let me tell you who you really are,
& I'll tell you when we make it as far as the end of the blue.

Flawless

Berry tea too sweet
& half-boiled eggs too salty
A gunk of St. Ives cucumber melon on my skin
Smeared blue ink on my paper
Ingrid Michaelson frozen and stuttering "St-st-starting Now"

It's a Saturday afternoon,
Everything is going perfectly my way.

Verificationism

...states that sentences are meaningless unless you are effected by it somehow. Facebook is proof of that. People will only 'like' your status if they prescribe to be affected by it.

But what exactly does meaningless mean?
If I do not connect to a statement, does it deem it meaningless?
If it's arbitrary and random, does it not mean anything?

Everything has got to mean something.
Some questions just cannot be answered.
Some meanings just cannot be decoded.
Because we lack the capacity to understand it.

That's why everyone is constantly looking
I believe the world is chaotic.
Something can be a product of nothing.
That's why fate exists.

Because the universe is beyond our comprehension, it doesn't make what we fail to comprehend as ineffective, arbitrary and meaningless.

'Nothing' means something...everything can emerge from a mere nothingness.
He made it this way. =)

Happy Anniversary darling.  =)
Life is never dull with you around.
Remember the insane cabdriver? The gender confused one?
 (S)he sure drove you safely didn't (s)he?

Butterfly

Shy as the hidden stars behind the clouds
A butterfly wrapped in a little cocoon,
Sit by the riverbed soothe your heart,
You are beautiful like the midnight moon.
You are beautiful,
Too young,
& you drifted away too soon.

Niche

A lady sat beside me on the bus last night. She had a ring on her left finger, that caught my attention the moment I sat down. Throughout the bus ride, she kept staring at the ring and out the window. We didn't speak a word to each other, not even when the bus broke down for an hour and a half. But here and there we exchanged smiles. There was something peculiar about that. An unspoken understanding I suppose. There I was with two speaker buds popped into my ears, singing Rob Thomas in my head trying to distract myself from counting down hours left on the road...

Silly things people do to comfort themselves.
And right now, I've got Rob Thomas singing to me, a cup of my favorite berry tea & a book by Danielle Steel. I know I should be studying but I haven't leisurely read in a while...plus my tea never fails to comfort me.  =)
