You & Me

Looking up at the morning sky, I stand fixated in complete awe studying the artistry of shapes and patterns that blanket our usually clear blue sky and I ask myself, What would it take to get the sun to shine a little? What would it take to get these moist pompous white and grey clouds to part in stubborn obedience to its piercing darts of white light unveiling its magnificence?

But yet the rain poured, pampering this hardened crust of black exterior forged over time. This unexplainable thing we call life. Its blood thirst never quenching or relenting, sipping off any liquid substance left in me, crafting ever so finely this rigid frame.

What it leaves behind is but a mold of what it would lay claim to as being its creator. You see, life is but a consequence of time on a journey with its loyal companion You & Me. It is master of all for even with you or me it as existed before either of us and continues to stray onward undeterred into the lives of those that will subsequently succeed You or Me.

The lessons it teaches each of us vary simply because it never strolls the same path twice. You see, there's no fun in seeing things the way they were but rather the fun lies in the ever changing scenery of the forest as season change, time passes swiftly by. Intangible, Invisible and Untamable.

The story of life can be related to a puppet show for we all know that in both exist an unseen force, time and its puppets, You & Me. For because the illusion is given that the puppets have minds of their own, an applaud is given to them when it makes "intellectual" pronunciations or gestures humorous sighs causing the bellies of its audience to rumble out, emitting sounds of cheer and laughter. For it is because they fail to recognize the master, that sobs and tears are heard and seen whenever the puppets can not dance no more or the audience too grieved to dance to their sad tunes and grooves.

It is only the puppet master that remains, untouched, for like with every story worth telling happy and sad are best told of in the same breath. I mean, would honey be as sweet if lemon was not so bitter? Would winter night colds be if summer days did not breathe hot flames? Would falling in love feel so good if being alone did not hurt so much?

You and I have both tasted it but its bitter taste made us reject it. Yes love does have a bitter sweet taste. It is not always butterflies and roses. It at times hurts or mistrusts or even bleeds. It's like a scavenger that would persist until you either give in or give up.

What would you do if your past experiences with love all hurt but then along comes a stranger that seems unreal and too good to be true? Would you be skeptic or would you embrace the darkness he carries with him? As you ponder on the answers to my questions keep these few words in remembrance.

"It is in a friend that you'll find the secrets of life. It is with a companion that you'll unearth and unravel its treasures and discover it true value and meaning."

You and I may be differently shaped, but that should suffer us no real consequence. The essence of you being you and I being I is that of compatibility.

Where you were made hard, I was made soft or at least I will be. Your hands were made bigger than mine but only so you could reach into depths I could not possibly reach or dare to. My temper might be a bit Optus but only to shadow you in your time of weakness. My feet cover less ground so that the length of your journey may be prolonged. I braved entry into this world first but only so that it would remain safe for you to enter.

I am only complete when your lips meet mine with a tender kiss or your gaze inter-locks with mine or your hand grips well in mine. And only when our wild but passionate rhythmic dance subdues and we remain intertwined in each others arms. Fading nights into days as time passes on by

I can truly say…there will never be another YOU & ME

I once loved you and you loved me

Love Bella

Appreciation

Out of curiosity of what I would find if I google the word: APPRECIATION, not surprisingly this is the 1st meaning of appreciation on my online dictionary: Recognition of the quality, value, significance, or magnitude of people and things. It is very easy to put things aside and forgetting to be grateful and showing that you care and respect others. I personally am guilty of doing the exact thing of being so spoilt rotten with love and care that I assume that it will always be there Well, this may come as expected somehow because I am big when it comes to assumptions…not something to be proud about. There is a time where in your life you feel misplaced and vulnerable to an extent that the loneliness makes you feel hopeless. Through this emotional rollercoaster my heart sinks to the bottom of my feet and tears flood down my face and confusion takes over clouding my judgment. My heart aches and my body moans in pain. Those around get lost in wonder and they become too scared to ask. Be ...

Remember remember

Things happen and so many come as shocking surprises and others as forgotten truths that we all wish not to witness the coming or final discovery of it. Its hard to face head on your worst fears and realising that what you always perceived and predicted as true is in fact the truth. Its all about having a back bone to be able to stand and face this world. When you are in pain and in bed on your own and no one hears and sees your thoughts, those are the deciding moments of your life. That is the time when one makes a choice to be or not to be. Only the strong prevail, only the might walk on. As we face the tides in out lives, we forget not that we once walked to the parks of the union buildings and shared our future plans and dreams under the beautiful clear blue summer skies. Now drifted and miles and oceans apart, we still hang on and look forward to a better tomorrow. Hold my hand and never let go, I will be an idea and you will be the wisdom behind it. There is so much that is still...

July 2011

For eight years I had gotten used to preparing for the one big day in every year up to the July of 2011. This year is different, very different...no longer will I work towards this big event that use to be the center of my focus from the beginning of the year to the end of July. For the first time in eight years...its gone. Well, I have moved from my little bachelor flat that I use to complain about to a one bedroom that still needs unpacking. One would think I just moved in over the weekend but yet its been a week or two now since my move. I am much happier here even though I haven't found my energy nor interest to stand up and unpack. This place is much better that where I was, at-least here I cant complain much about the pests that I was sharing the previous flat with, now I am able to disappear into my room; shut the door and not see the roaches at the kitchen whilst sitting or relaxing on my bed. I must say - I am really pleased with this step I have taken (that might just b...
