Unbenannt

The fire is burning, whole rooms aglow
and the bitter cold wind blows outside
Christmas carolers sing from the distance in the snow
Children are laughing, adults smiling
The world is celebrating and everyone's so happy
except for me tonight

Because I miss you most at Christmas time
I can't get you
to get you off my mind
Every other season comes along, and I'm doing all right
But I do miss you
the most at Christmas time

I gaze out the window
This December night
at all of the twinkling lights
I'm alone in the darkness
remembering how we were during Christmas in the past
Everybody was so happy

All world is rejoicing and everyone is embracing
Except for you and I
In the springtime
Those memories will start to fade
My mind will say, "you're better to forget the past"  

From the spring rain
Through the summer time
Till Autumn's leaves flying
I get by without you
But when the snow begins to fall, my heart will ache 
Miss you again the most at Christmas time
 

Bevor der Morgen kommt

Die stinkenden Geruch des Winters Haien mich wach aus dem Traum. Was aussehen Sie jetzt? Jedem morgen, Wir haben nicht etwas sagen während in den Himmel schauen. Wenn Sie mir zu kommen in der Früh, machen wir den Neuanfang unserer zukünftigen Tag. Unser erster Halt wird um den Sonnenaufgang über dem Pazifischen Ozean aus dem Land der aufgehenden Sonne zu beobachten.

Opvrolijken

Für Elisa, das wird dich aufmuntern. Weihnachtsstimmung ist überall dass, und Ich haben um weltweit gewesen. Erholsame Ferien für Sie aus der Tiefe meines Herzens.

Suddeutschland

I spend my nights down on the wharf
In unlit alleyways
By the church downtown
Where Elisabeth prays
Come down sometime
We'll share an old can of Pilsener
And listen to the wind
I love you, I love you, it says
Where did your heart go
Did you put it on a train
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in Suddeutschland?

You cry, but I don't know
I've heard it all before
There it goes again, the slamming of the door
Sometimes the river calls me
And at night it calls my name
Says "put your troubles down beside me"
Things have always been the same
And neue Deutsche Härte won't teach me
What the river said that night
I jumped into this beauty
And drifted out of sight.

Der Schnellzug

Ich werde der Zug sein, Sie dort zu treffen. Wirst du mich den Schnellzug sein um Sie zu diesen Bahnhofen dass Sie verlieben sich nehmen?

I will be the train to take you there. Will you let me be the express train to take you to those train stations that you fall in love with?

neuen Tag und Uhrzeit

So far away
We live in different time zones; your day is my night
I have been driven by time
At what time I should get what assignments done to achieve the goals

I was awake at 0400 that day when that message came in
Your wish became my command
I made you feel uncomfortable; I avoided reading your virtual images and information
Ever since until yesterday

I have been sending holiday greetings to you for the last 1,460 days
Someone told me in the past
If you truly love someone, you have to let that person go
Now I see that why parents cry when they send their kids to colleges during their first year

It is another city, and another flight to catch
I respect your wish because you know the best for your life
We were accidentally to cross paths as two busy travelers in the same JFK terminal
I still believe in his wisdom as of today

Ich wünsche euch

Ein frohes und besinnlches Weihnachtsfest!

Leap Year

The woman stands on the hard ground
in the dark night of Vienna, the Nutley Court of Tapawingo,
stunned,
eyes closed, mouth open,
raw umbrages like the wind blowing sand in her face

Aches and pubescence are emceed
She leans and becomes
Lindsay Dee
layers of skins fluttering in the heart,
the new radius of her arm curved

She cannot be pulchritudinous, but she is ravenous
Each day she grows thinner, and her quantum unhinges
The leap year is going to divert her course
with millions of others
Deep inside her, a portrait renders as golden as drops of grain

Verboten

There was a lady
Her hair held me as I was walking

I came and went
with the chance leaving and the same road upon

O love, where are you?
leading me now 

Dame Elizabeth

What I admire about Dame Elizabeth Rosemond "Liz" Taylor the most is not her beauty and fortunes, ... It is about her heart in loving people.

Dame Taylor’s AIDS work saw her address the General Assembly at the United Nations, and she was a huge supporter of Ryan White, the 18-year-old who died of the disease in 1990 after attracting a frenzy of media when he was expelled from his middle school because of the disease, which he contracted from a blood treatment for his hemophilia.

I know a woman with the same warm heart like Elizabeth Taylor who ran 6 miles with her overused knees for a charity event last year. And her kindness and caring to those young girls really touched me.

I am glad that she has found her direction now and is living at the present time. She is a different woman, and I am so happy for her.

She is singing now, and I can see she sings very well in the concerto.  

Eine zweite Chance

To whom it may concern:

"I fix my eyes not on what is seen in my opportunities, but on what is unseen."

For example, when there is an assignment that nobody wants to do it because it is difficult and requiring long hours to complete, I look at the unseen part. Maybe it is a very important assignment, so the manager asks for someone in the office to work extra hours on Friday afternoon to finish the task. When you finish it, your boss will only give you a pat on the back: good job and well done. However, you are gaining his or her trust that you are "someone who can deliver" (i.e. the go-to girl/guy). Slowly, you will be on the manager's radar for better job assignments.

On average, the entry level employees in the DCA earn about $1,200 per pay period. Each art project that an artist can get is ranging from $600 to $1200 in profits during the same time. Every two weeks, a young man or woman can earn from $1,800 to $2,400. However, she has to pay $1,000 for the rents, $150 for the foods, $50 for the Metro, $120 for the utility bills, $50 for the yoga class, $50 for the Gym, $200 for the credit card bills, $200 for the investments and $250 for the car loan. There is no $$$ left for overseas vacations unless she is willing to pay the 11% to 15% credit card interests from debt in airfares and travel expenses.

Again, I am stating the fact here. There is extra $500 that you can earn from the employer, however that requires you to work extra hours on Friday afternoon maybe all Saturday to finish that task.

For the art projects, you will have to look at the unseen opportunities beyond the horizon.

Please follow my advice: "do what I have done" and look up the subject line. This is a business proposition for you, and you know that I do want to help you to achieve and excel under the systems. If you are still interested to learn more about the proposal, please let us talk again as business partners one last time.  I appreciate your time reading this message.

Mutual respectfully,

Neuer Morgendämmerung

"To put meaning in one's life may end in madness, but life without meaning is the torture of restlessness and vague desire."

Love it, and I hope you like it as well.

Stille nacht

so I clamp that fleeting moment dear
I keep highjacking it with each painful word
as fragile as the night passing
yet firm as the day coming by

the lovers scribe their electrons to virtual connectives
the zenith reached
they found frustration, sorrow
they girdled themselves for bitter loss

and you who are reading this
pay them the priceless tribute of a tear
gentle heart may never reappear
when you are heedless of the sight of grief

Ich bin aus ...

the new downtown area of an oriental city looks like ...

Haiku

Recovering from the seethed Katrina
Of an ancient bayou,
A young woman came to visit--
A ray of hope.

The woman I have gotten to know

never have left from the crimson

I dandle, it is the time to come out of the cold

leaving so many hints in this space

as I said to my

flame, because I am

always adumbrating,--Ann, I

said, which is not her

name, the Elizabeth Red 

round us, what we shall be

can we do against

it, or else, will we

why not, purchase a future,

drive on, she said, for

the alpha and omega's sake, look

out where we're going.

Faith

When the dagger first entered my coffer of compassion,
I told myself that I was big enough and strong to bear
Thereupon a blade gets deep inside,
I affront the sultry aches
Now it goes no further but waiting for my paramour to pull it out
When that time does come,
it shall be the day of revelation
"I know how to play the part"
Pactum Sera
Dum Spiro Spero
"and put one foot in front of the other"
while I'm reading Psalm 17:5
and not giving up

Trepidation

gray and blue were in the sky
the sandy shore, where the sea of Ireland foamed in Dublin
we visited in the Summer with fun and joy for each other
I wish we could stay there forever
like MLK had said: "Free at all, free at all!"
Next year at this time there will be winnowed and dismayed in our minds

New tail

today is to add another ox tail,
in the year dragon

Vini Vidi Abscondi
call her a Hello Kitty!

27 centimeters, cherry pink,
facing across the room

always giving the happy-b to young girls
for beautiful mess and silk 

all things look at you
but things cannot see.

Serenity

nothing straight, they are connected in a painting of circularity
too small to see
yet following the curve lines of serenity
many stokes simplified and generalized the souls from the vectors of Euclidean space
but outside, standing still

not to be reckless for whom I disjoint
true meaning as the outcome shone
tranquil mind lifted the wounded heart
neither belligerent nor indulging 

to hear an inner mind in solace
troubled senses for wayward bound
you believe in performing Bullen, Act II Scene 3
and step both feet in the muddy water  
an unwonted fashion through the Potomac

 

Ode on Solitude -- Ros

Blest, who can unconcernedly find

   Hours, days, and years slide soft away,

In health of body, peace of mind,

                            Quiet by day,

Sound sleep by night; study and ease,

   Together mixed; sweet recreation;

And innocence, which most does please,

                            With meditation.

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;

   Thus unlamented let me die;

Steal from the world, and not a stone

                            Tell where I lie.

 

Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

Romance par une journée ensoleillée

memories of summer days saturated with sunlight
once, shining images blinded a full sheet of darkness
steaming pavement mimicked water's sparking surface
silhouette shone against a red sultry sunset
a glance was stolen across a sandy beach spawning a romance
splashing in waves of silver
running in dunes of sand, inseparably
our summer was spent, all too soon and dwindled
au revoir skipped yet understood
swimmers' splashing slowed then stopped
now winter's calm, white wisdom soothes my sunburned heart

Sunset

the rosy goes under the south Miami beach
endless watery surface leads into cherry horizon

reckless clouds twist in the orange sky
reflection from the sinking red shines over velvet waves

it is near the time
light dimming, et c'est fini

night lies and life begins dark as the day ending
he isn't mine; i have less without him around
