Flight of fantasy

You are here
After ages

Tons of history
Plenty of memories
Very few regrets

I waited
Infinitely long
With endless glances at the door
Not knowing the purpose

Truth is, I am lost

You ask for the name
I ask for it too
You ask for the cause
I don’t even know my loss

You ask for more
I tell my dreams

You understand
Dreams are all I got
Not even memories
Not even history
And no regrets

You suddenly realize
I starved
Beyond my capacity
Killing my hunger forever

But I contest
I am alive
With a hint of ambrosia

You feel the indifference
I notice the guilt
And the beauty, like a halo
Decorating my surrounding
But intangible

And here it comes
The awakening call

It was a dream
Multiple dreams
Reality disorder

One of my flights of fantasy!

Sea fever

Chinese new year brought a long weekend. Gave me an opportunity to visit one of the island (Pulao Ubin) in Singapore. The sea got me nostalgic, and the fever gripped me....SEA FEVER as they call...Reminded me of a poem I read during my school days



Sea Fever by John Masefield

I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick, and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must down to the seas again, for the call of the of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call which may not be denied.
And all I ask is a windy day with white clouds flying,
And flung spray and blown spume, and the seagulls crying.
I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way, and the whale's way, where the wind's like a whetted knife.
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow rover,
And a quite sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

Yes we can

And here is world's most anticipated event. America's 44th president, Barack Hussein Obama, who by the way shares his middle name with deceased former Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein, takes the oath.

I call it American Democracy (in a good way).

Random thoughts 3

These are some random thoughts...

Changes, memories, regrets, ecstasies
My life is full of fantasies

Observation, poetry, imagination, verses
My life is full of blushes

Yes, no, yes, no, may be not
My life is a fuzzy plot

Family, friends, enemies, strangers
My life is species endanger

Moonlight, star, dawn and breeze
My life gets lighten with all of these

Books, nooks, tea and toast
My life makes out the most of most

Confusion, frustration, anger, achievement
I do not resent, I do not consent

Denial, acceptance, amazement, surrender
I always doubt, I always wonder
