Why do we die in our sleep?
I died once wide awake at the sound of your voice
Awake with your heart on my chest
The earth rumbled
The way you justified your presence
My flesh as your common ground stammered
We became mathematic on chalkboard
Under a coconut tree that flag us a melody
We chased waterfall with our equation
Mentally yoked with an understanding
Accidentally we discovered
The summer’s grin without touch

I miss blogging on a regular *sigh* :( it was so easy back then to jot down my thoughts on paper while riding the train to work then type away at my desk.
Life gets hectic and crazy sometimes, don't you agree? Delaleu is at a point where she writes down reminders to herself cause the hours fly and she's running after the minutes, hours and days.
Geeeshhh...slow down...I just got out of bed :) I get annoyed at how quickly the day ends, I wish I could stretch it out a bit. Is there a way to slow it down? Perhaps someone out there knows the secret...no i'm not looking at an easy way to stay young although it would be nice (pills/creams or surgery don't work). I would love to know an easier way to appreciate life a little better without rushing.
I hope my poems offers that kind of relief to other bloggers...this longing to relax with a cup of tea and poetry at your fingertips.

How I enjoyed reading your poem
Nasra
I come to be thankful to you for the work that you have developed in yours blogue and to desire good vacations to you.
Dear Cathy,
I’ve read your words a hundred times but I can’t wait to see your lips move as you recite your verses. As many times as I’ve heard your voice I’ll be your most attentive listener as you emit eroticisms and gush sensuality. As much as I have felt your vibe, I can’t wait to touch you.

Don't worry about the rush Lyrik. Part of it is Amerika. Most of it is New York. Change the place and time in your mind . . . and feel it all slow down.
With much love.
