peacefully musing

Life is so unusual, but most of all it's quick!

Spend your whiles in lots of smiles, and then you won't fall sick.

Little ditties such as these can help the days go by

When you feel you've lost your wings and forgotten how to fly.

I haven't written anything in a long while, be it on this blog, or in my personal handwritten journal, or even in long, rambling emails to my boyfriend.

There's been so much that's happened in the last couple of months, and I feel like I'm moving forward (slowly, but surely) into the rest of my life. Mixed with feelings of "Wow... here comes the rest of my life... the end is certainly not far off into the distance...", it's a little bittersweet. Like the feeling of winning, but knowing that all will be lost soon enough anyway.

But enough of the morbidity!

I'm starting to feel that I'm losing my creative edge. Not that I think I had much of a creative edge to begin with, but for months and maybe years now I've had a little voice in my head that's wanted to grow that little blossom of creativity. To nurture it, water it, give it some air and sunshine, and yield fruit from it. Sadly I haven't given myself much of a chance, and maybe I just haven't got enough of an experimental bone in me to try different media. Well not only that, but developing a collection of mixed media can be rather expensive too.

Recently I purchased some small leather-bound notepads. I don't think they're bound with real leather, but that's ok - it's the visual cue that counts. I haven't finished my current journal yet, so I'll need to get writing before I give myself the privilege of writing, sketching and collecting in a brand new notebook, which will be a new experience (I mostly wrote reams of mundane daily recounts in all of my previous journals). I'm looking forward to it!

just because

Like golden honey you're so sweet,

I hate to leave and love to meet.

You're my precious, but I'm no Hobbit,

This rhyme's not bad but I should stop it :)

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

if you're happy and you know it, write a poem

I love you whether you're near or far.

It doesn't matter where you are.

I love you more than life itself.

Your happiness is my greatest wealth.

Now my eyes are heavy with sleep,

I'm imagining your warm embrace...

While I kiss you full and deep,

My fingers stroking your handsome face. X

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

a midnight response

Finally falling into bed...

Your poem made me smile.

You're definitely improving,

It was your longest by a mile.

You want me to both rest and dance...

To multi-task in sleep, perchance?

Like Robin for Maid Marion fair,

Let my arrow fly so straight and true,

That my kisses fall into your hair,

And you hear me whisper,

"I love you." X

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.

haunting and precious.

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

it's all you need.

Who knew that I could love so much
Your scent, your smile, your lips, your touch?

I've never been the steady kind
Where the heart came into play
But I know for sure, as you do too
This love is here to stay.

Fly with me, like lovers do
Into the night, so dark and blue
Let's dance amongst the stars tonight
Until the break of morning light.

thanks :)

You kiss my cheek, you make me smile,
So of course I want to stay awhile.
Forever and two days it's true,
That's how long I'll be loving you.
To look into your eyes each day,
Is a pleasure greater than I can say...*

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.

her:

So despite all my annoying ways,
You'll still grace me with your gaze?
I have to say that's good to know,
And in return I love you so!
Now off to bed until the morning...
Remember the jersey, final warning!

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 she to he

I imagine your face and I smile.

I imagine your smile and I laugh.

I imagine your laugh and I'm happy.

Don't be blue, because I love you too.

MTW...*

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

a goodnight wish

Star light, star bright,

For ev'ry star that shines tonight..

I send a kiss to warm your cheek

Until the day we meet this week. *

Estava com fome... mas...

Balsamic vinegar and olive oil

In a plate, but not to boil

Bocconcini and tomatoes to share

Is that cheese, just over there?



A simple meal, but served with love.

Who could ask for more?

Day by day it's reaffirmed-

You're the one that I've been looking for.

writer's block

As I meditate

on what to write

Let me be in peace.

For if you stress

and shout out loud

My words won't flow with ease.

See? I told you so!
