Adieu: GADO

A broken heart they say heals with time, what they failed to mention was that every single occasion, misadventure or memory awakens that same fear and hurt.

The death of a beloved flattens and dulls everything. Mountains and sky scrappers are brought to eye level, life looks different, unimportant. Important events lose some of its glow, and suddenly you're the ghost, you see everything and everyone and yet no one See's you, you cry your heart out in a full packed train filled with loved up couples and stoned young people and no one hears your heart beat or the sound of your heart being torn in shreds. At that moment people's opinions are dead, God is invisible and life...life is for the living...for those that do not give a rat's ass about what you feel!

My cousin is dead and life...well life will go on, what if that wasn't the case? What if the world stops for a few seconds when someone dies, not for everyone of course, just for the people that cared for them-to mourn them. My life is full of regret, things i should have done, things i should've said, this i will carry for the rest of my life.

I dedicate this poem to how i feel, i dedicate this poem to pain and hatred and disappointment, i dedicate this poem to life:


Life is a bitch
Patience is a joke
Death is a coward

Living life is vain, Love hurts
Dance is grueling
Death is a bully

Luck is a myth
Courage is an illusion
Death is a fool

Life is short
Youth is fleeting
Death is that enemy I'll meet only but once.

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

By
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 ...
