Poems & Musings

"Dreaming"

In my dreams I see you,
You appeared so clear.
Strangely I want you,
But you dissapeared.
-- MO

"I Fell"

Cursing as things fall in front of me.
Picking them up and I realise
The things did not fall but I did.
-- MO

"Missing You"

Every flickering thought of you brings my heart racing,
Your touch, your scent, your voice, your smile.
Every sense of you remembered in my mind's eye,
Reminds me how much I miss you.
-- MO

"Winter"

The wind is blowing,
The trees swaying.
While leaves are rustling,
Rain, cold and shivering.
Darkness comes, days quickening.
Nature is calling,
Winter is coming.
-- MO

"Warm"

It was cold crawling into my quilt,
Wishing the warmth would take me away quickly.
It did, and I fell asleep.
-- MO

"Embrace Remembered" - 12/14/98, 12:15 AM

I've been waiting for you
since before time began
your timbre echoed
into the most primitive part of my being.
Do you remember
when our hearts pulsed as stars?

I want to capture you
in my curve
Because nobody else
seems to fit.

A presence unmistakable
classic lines of design
quiet harmonies sing
ambrosia for my senses.
Somehow the seven dimensions
are remembered in you.

Dare I ask,
for fear of committing
a discourtesy,
to drift in your waters?

'Til I am graced again with your touch,
live again at the sound of your voice,
I shall merely dream in this life.
I shall wait for your embrace
remembered.

In a healing land where incense rises sweet,
May the gracious beauty of luminous moonbeams
Conquer all strife, the darkness of the shadow side.

-- one verse written by His Holiness The 17th Karmapa
written on his escape from China

An Ally McBeal Love Quote

"We spend so much time worrying about finding true love, but when we find it, we worry if we are getting it the right way."

Random Musing

Why do Asians tend to dance in circles in nightclubs? You know - a bunch of guys on one side pretending to be dancing but actually eyeing the girls on the other side? Why? It only leads to guys doing stupid dance moves to impress the girls because there is no other way to impress them - sorta like peacocks. :)

Is being platonic friends with a woman good? Depends on how important you think sex with this woman is. If it isn't, it's good. As Mason Cooley says, "Friendship is love minus sex plus reason; love is friendship plus sex minus reason." Food for thought. :)
