Today is the 1st day of 2006. It seems like a bad time to post a poem that elucidated my unhappiness from the past year, but being seriously in the want of a place to actually "showcase" it, i'm going to risk a possible tirade from real poets out there and write it in.
The Haunting
Nestled in the roots of mangroves,
The Serpent lies
coil uncoil coil
Amber eyes of desire, discontent
boredom
Lightest flick, gentle as a baby's touch
Insidious Poison
For Am i not the child of
He who whispered and brought
the downfall of the first two
Slick, Shiny, Satan's own
Glory
My beautiful skin
I shed to show more enticing treats
Hear me whisper in your ears, the gentlest of lies
A single kiss, I spread like wildfire the posion through
Your veins
In the darkness, I see the souls of my past lovers,
the telltale mark. I loved them all,
for am i not my master's most loyal and glorious son?
The souls of the first two haunt me,
but they'll not be the end.
I have no end.

There... my little humble attempt to capture the complexity of human emotions. In any case, this 2 weeks have been quite a whirl. Contrast that with the month long... long month =) of internship, where i met some of the most interesting people in the world and discovered a wonderful Greek restaurant( Esmiradas), these two weeks can be described as bursting with activity.
Besides being dotted with engagements, i've had a great number of memorable moments. First time driving on the road, Recieving Him into my life (yea!), meeting my Primary 1 and 2 best friend [Grace! =) ] and hmm.... actually setting up a blog again!
In any case, i'm disappointed to discover that "Memoirs of a Geisha" is not based on a true story. I was so engaged in the story and the romantic in me, so aroused that i plunged into disappointment headlong, when i discovered the "truth" behind the story. However, some good has arose out of this because i have derived a way of describing a certain incident without much reference to the persons involved.
The hint is " I am like Sayuri as he is like Hatsumomo."
For those of you who know it, good for you. For those of you who don't... Happy New Year!
