Some tidbits of song lyrics that has caught my ears recently ..

 Taken from In A Little While by U2

When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no end
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
WiIl you be there?

 ...

Slow down my bleeding heart ...

 ...

A man dreams one day to fly

A man takes a rocketship into the skies

He lives on a star 

That's dying in the night 

And follows in the trail, 

The scatter of light

 ...

Turn it on.
You turn me on.

Insomnia

11:05 PM

Bed, save me a dream tonight.

A windy garden of joy
Beside a meditating sea,
Where the flowers are yellow
And the earth, kind.

Where passionately, the winds blow,
Igniting the heat of the soul.
Tempting to draw out
A lustful fight for
Drowned desires.

12:35 AM

Bed, please sing me a song.

A mermaid's hum
Mingling with the ocean's choir.
A silent song
To calm a despairing shore.
A lingering melody
To conjure the lord of sleep.

Or,-- a beggar's tune
On a bustling street.
A plea to the unkind.
A prayer for providence.
A passing lover's symphony.

2:00 AM

Bed, I just need your warmth tonight.

4:00 AM

Bed, damn you.

=======================================

Something I wrote a few years back. 

======================================= 

I wrote this as a testi to a newly found friend of mine ... This is supposed to be a friendster testi ...

 Janika,... Janika ..

Splash me some water
So I could see the ocean in your face ..

I long for it.
Do you?

Or would you be my moon,
With a face half-hidden from the world.
Half, of light and sanity.
The other half, unknown.

Or you can be the sun
That scorched?
No.
Can you be the sun
That nurtures life instead?

But then,
Half of you is an unknown story.
Can you stray into my dreams
    And wake me there?
Can you walk from the dark
    Into the light,
So I can see you?
Clear as a full moon,
Or, as clear as the espresso
On my coffee cup?

Can you be the Janika of my poem?
An endless wordplay
Of interlocking nothingness,
A spread of cheese
On my sandwich,
Something I will always long for.
Something I would like to sip from my coffee cup.

In a dreamy place somewhere,
Watch the moon with me,...

Will you?

Time, when will you be at my side again ?
You fought with me throughout all those years ...
But why not today?
Why not this day, when I need you most.

 
An Ode To Time

You made me happen.

But why can I still feel
The white chocolate mocha
Still burning in my stomach?
You made the rain betray me in starbucks.
In SM you left me for dead.

The rain did stop.
But the traffic became your minion,
And you trap me somewhere
Between uncertainty
And the road leading to pier 6.

You drenched my feet
With dirty water.
And made the taxi driver say no.
My cellphone bailed out.
And my sweat could drown a village.

But why did you let my flirting go to waste?
Why do you have to let her go to a party?
And why thursday?

Be on my side next time.
Or I'm telling the gods.
