Xenium

in the midst of studying. and all the stress...
...i came up with more verses of soul that are work in progress!(:

Never could imagine: Life without your smile;

Take on a new beginning, Melt our dreams into a pile;

Turn the ocean over, Wipe the desert clean

Raindrops in the corner, Teardrops in my dream

If only they could see beyond the surface of your skin

Delve below the shallow, see your beauty from within

Take a two way mirror, shine it through your soul

Kiss the scarlet letter, erase the name you know



i'm kinda in love with the idea of imagery

just the idea of painting with words is fascinating

especially if the imagery hasn't been used before

but there are so many poems, so many songs written, that it's not easy to come up with brand new lines

sometimes you wanna express a certain feeling,

but it's already been expressed a million times over

in a million different forms

that to re-express it again, brand new...

the challenge refreshes me(:


and i know i'm taking time out from studying

but this is learning too

and learning what you love makes it even more enjoyable

my few moments of respite.



heres another set:

JOY came down and filled the earth

Shepherds pride of the one they served

This child, our savior, his special birth

Our savior, a child, for ransom's worth.


thats for my christmas card idea.

let me tell you

christmas verses are the hardest to write

has there ever been a season more commercialised

more widely known, more celebrated

than christmas? i mean, the whole story has been expressed in a gazillion ways

christmas decorations, christmas songs.

how does one bring out the 'newness' the 'freshness'

of the season for those whom the season means more than just

shopping, presents, snow, parties...?

how do you inject excitement into a season

thats like commercialism's pet project...

and thats been rendered so meaningless?

maybe it's time to bring back the protagonist of christmas



like i said, work in progress.

Any comments, any suggestions, let me know!(:




oh, and i've finally gotten over my obsession with words that begin with the letter 'Re...'

now i'm taken with words starting with the letter 'x'!!(:

wonder how long the obsession with this letter will last. considering it takes up barely 5(?) pages in the dictionary!(:


and 'ex' counts as 'x':D


i think i'll add the meanings of my 'x' letter words here:D

xenium: A present given to a guest or stranger, or to a foreign ambassador
