Fragile Friendships

Like glass, friendships are
So fragile, even whispers
Disintegrate them.

Music..

Here's a poem that I penned down awhile back, that I really love..

Music

Cascading notes like ebbing waters;
An enveloping warm wave of serenity
Fills you wholly with sweet delight,
And brings you to paradise; your Eden.
The sweet sounds of sirens fill your ears
While your soul mingles with the rhythm.
Dancing with the flowing notes and beats
Your heart begins to beat with the music.
The heavenly tunes flood your mind,
Lifting you up to a peaceful state of mind
Until the wave passes and the water freezes.
And all that's left is the distant memory.

Born To Fly

This is the Haiku that inspired the banner that my amazing sister designed! (Thanks, Rache! You rawk my world of socks!)


A butterfly's wings
Soft and fragile, like my heart,
Also born to fly.

Create Your Own Life

Here is a series of Haiku that I penned today.


Create your own life
You, the director, actor,
Audience. Applaud!

Create your own life
You star in your own drama
You direct your script.

Create your own life
Sculpt your sculpture, sing your song,
Invite us along.

Create your own life
A painting, a book, a song
All of them are you.

Create your own life
Dance your dance, paint your painting,
You - artist, and art.
