Xenium
in the midst of studying. and all the stress...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
