A lady in the picture

Guy's this is another poem, somebody wrote about me, inspired by seeing this photo. Hmmmm, i feel very honored and i'm very excited to present....The lady in the picture (which so happens to be moi, enjoy :)

Just a poem I would love another man(probably your boyfriend)to write for you after looking at your photo gallery. Attached is the photo that inspired me to write this.

A lady in the picture

I would follow my first instinct
to reach out and draw her close to me
far away from covetous eyes
of he that lurks in the dark
from he that shares my thought:
"I will hide her in the safest of my heart"
only if she’s not
a lady in the picture……

I set my gaze on her
like sun gaze daily on earth.
I see her beckoning to me.
Her mouth wide open
saying something
I dare decode it
she has made the symbol of my love
the shape of her lips
her teeth, shining like white gold around it
I see the chains of my love
wrapped around her neck.
Oh how beautiful she looks!
Oh how beautiful!
The lady in the picture.

I see wings all around her
wait..................
It dawns on me
She is telling me something:
"Babe here I am
let's fly to the ends of the earth
haste to come
'cause time is ticking
I would wrap you inside my wings
Aha, that's the way it’s done"

Only if she’s not
a lady in the picture,
I would follow her to the ends of the earth.

Its only but a phase

Life is a constant withering of possibilities they say. Through our quick drift as mortals, certain things seem to characterize our life. They were people and thoughts. Thoughts occupy no space, people do. Some times life just places people in our paths to guide us through a difficult situation, sometimes these people are also there to strengthen and encourage us especially in very trying moments of our lives. They have a profound effect on our lives, people who leave their mark for better or worse. Most times after the storm is weathered they disappear with it, leaving you with the memories of their kindness. I'd like to think that on my death bed i will be able to recall every face that has meant a thing to me, every single act of kindness from anyone, both the ones that stayed and completed their destinies in my life to the ones that left such an indelible presence in my life. But then again why should i have to wait until my dying bed before i remember voices from the past? ...

Forever Love

Its almost unimaginable that a person can love you forever and ever, flaws and all. I guess I'm just not that much of an idealist. Its one of those things that sounds almost too good to be true. The love that can never be broken. The devotion that no power, no circumstance can pull apart. The world is full of divorcing couples who vowed "for better or worse" and now, cannot stand the sight of each other. The world is full of mothers who ditch their kids and run, who sexually abuse, prostitute and even murder their children. That was the real world. The world i live in. A life full of hurt, pain, disappointment, uncertainty, hatred and angst. Isn't forever love the kind of love that exists between pets and its owners, children and their parents? Its a much more simple...almost desperate kind of love. It doesn't care so much about what i look like, what my voice sounds like, it doesn't care whether i like toasted sandwich for dinner and KFC chicken for breakfast...

The lady at the counter

I am fuming with rage, anger, resentment, malice...(is there any other word to describe the fire that is threatening to erupt my very being?) I had a pretty rough day today, although this is not the reason i am this provoked. Well why should i? Why would anyone be angry if their youngest brother spends $100 from their credit card despite giving them the permission to spend $23! This matter was solved of course, however, this current state of mind is directed at Australia's retail giant Big W. Technological advancement is at its peak as we all know. In fact, it has gotten so good that I'm toying with the idea of buying me a sexy robot man if ever i become available :). Since Technology has become this unstoppable force, why is it that each time you leave a store, they ask to search your bag. This is the most humiliating aspect of shopping i must confess. I have the most horrible hand bag to look in you see, however, i just love the feeling of walking straight up to security and ...
