good luck for the exam

A little kiss for the mighty student.

For now, all the best,

So that later you can rest.

Minha Musa.

4E&2D

it's the thought that counts

Just lying in bed thinking what to say,

But nothing comes to mind.

I still force myself to write,

'Cause one day I will get it right,

And make you smile.

Don't bother looking for the rhyme,

As it's only random text you will find.

Try to look for the meaning in between,

And you will see that love is what I mean. :)

4E&2D

an alternative

Tonight I would write an epic email,

Had the wireless card not failed.

I'm left with the choice of a text,

For the chance to make you smile next.

And although it's coming out pretty shitty,

Not to continue would just be a pitty*.

Rest,

Sleep well,

'Cause tomorrow is a new day.

And it's going to be great.

Because I said so.

And sometimes...

Just sometimes, I'm right.

So come and meet me in my dreams,

And we will dance the night away. X X X

*Editor's note: I thought this spelling mistake was too cute to correct :)

Meu Amor...*

No eyes to see your handsome face;
No ears to hear your calming voice;
No hands to brush your soft cheek.

My heart is denied so many pleasures...
But still it loves you
More and more each day.

---

I will come and meet you tonight.

We will dance the night away. x x x

And then I dreamt about salsa class.

a little bedtime ditty

Don't want to wake you up,

But you're running through my head.

I'd prefer it if you walked,

So that I can go to bed... X

Ok. Taking it slow now. I will behave. ;)

See you in my dreams. x x x

a good weekend in july

Sometimes I have some really nice weekends. These days, they are usually prefaced with beautiful winter sunlight and a productive train ride into the city, meaning I'm completing some work, an email, or some study. Or it's a peaceful ride where I'm listening to some great music that makes me want to sing or dance, or smile uncontrollably.

Highlights from the weekend that just passed...

* Home-made improvised lunch courtesy of J (don't know how it was made but I think I know what went into it.... oregano, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced meat, onion, wholegrain bread, diced olives), followed by yummy ice cream (not home-made)

* Enjoying a post-lunch movie - Disney's Hercules. Good fun!

* Actually getting some study done!

* Being wowed by some professional couples at the Australian Salsa Open and also getting some dance time in between, not to mention bumping into some old friends from high school who were performing that night!

* Lazy Sunday morning in bed, followed by a nice brunch at Jet Caffe... smoked ham & cheese croissant with peppermint tea to accompany. Delish!

* Getting a little bit more study done :)

* Late lunch at The Watershed in Darling Harbour... a small share plate for two, plus nachos. We were stuffed by the end of it!

* Interesting conversations on dog and baby names :)

* Another post-lunch movie - Disney's Pocahontas, which was made a little funnier than usual thanks to the added sound effects of J!

I'm exhausted but what a fun couple of days. As usual. :)

he knows how to cheer me up

Last time, when I was feeling down,

I thought of you... and that brought me back around.

I truly hope that all your worries you dismiss,

With my promise of an early morning kiss.

him:

All the fun for the light in my sun.

Though the rhyme is lame,

You can blame it on my name.

For my love is strong,

And I know that nothing can make it wrong.

from he to me

I look at the couch and it looks lost.

I look at the table and it's lonely.

I get into bed and it feels empty.

You are not here, so nothing feels true.

I love you.

4E&2D

from him, for me

I would like to be able to

Come up with a poem for you as well

But my artistic side is already

Sleeping as far as I can tell.

Your roses are red,

Your lights are blue,

I'm tired as hell,

But I STILL love you... *
