| Mathematics |
What is distance, but a bunch of numbers
that define the space between us.
As if one could calculate
the probabilities that you, ever restless,
would climb your bed and stay still,
long enough for me
to slip beneath you
and raise my chin
to sigh on your shoulder.
As if one could measure
the angles we create when
you reach around me and
lift me up toward you,
drawing arcs with my spine when
I tuck my belly into your torso and
hook my ankles to the back of your knees.
As if one could solve
the sum of our hearts'
incongruent tempo when
I press my body so close
to fuse our breathing and
delude our ears into thinking
we shared a heart.
As if one could plot
the intersection points
whenever we kiss,
fingers interlacing at
the end of outstretched arms,
every muscle knowing its match
with perfect balance and precision.
After all, What is distance,
but a bunch of numbers
that don't exist. |

| You can write |
I am a storybook,
the tales long ago
etched by quills of blade
and blood ink on
skin parchment.
You were reading me--
setting me on your lap,
opening me and gingerly
tracing the word-scars
with your fingertip.
Like the others,
I offered you a blank page
and an iridium nibbed plume,
enclosing it in your palm as
I spread myself on the table.
You lifted me and carried me
back to the filled-up pages,
flipping the quill over
and started erasing scars
with the feather tip.
I am still a storybook,
bound with human vellum--
but this time rewritten
by your hands, lips and tongue
dipped in soul-ink. |

| To reach the sun |
while waiting for the sun,
our silhouettes danced
in moonlit corners--
We stepped
toward each other,
by walking from one's dream
to the other's,
each leaving imprints
of laughter on
the other's soul.
And when chasing the sun,
our silhouettes soared
in mirrored skies---
We reached
toward the other,
by fingertips
almost touching...
through the glass. |

| Pig Lucky Charm |
My best friends A and S called me up just before new years and informed me that 2007 was going to be the year of the pig. Fondly called "piglet' by them, I told them that it was gonna be my year since I was after all, not only a 'piglet' but was born in 1983, also the year of the pig. OINK! hehehe. A quipped: You're a walking lucky charm! (or unlucky) hehehe.
So, friends, if u need luck or something of the sort, I'm your errr... PIG! hehehe. Anyway the forecast for me is kinda disturbing too. I hate change. But here it says I'm definitely in for a rollercoaster ride:
Pigs would feel restless i n the Year of Pig / Boar 2007.
1. You would encounter many changes, in terms of the luck of wealth, career and relationships. (Well 2006 was really bad for me. My apartment was robbed thrice and I was sick for more than half of the year... This change in luck better be good.)
2. The Pigs are likely to move home or office, travel, and experience other changes.
(Funny, I've been looking for an apartment for months now. I haven't yet. Please, please let me find one with a covered garage hehehe)
3. In fact, the more changes the Pigs go through, the lesser the negative impact there is to their emotions. Thus, it is a great year of the Pigs to get married, conceive a baby, switch jobs, or immigrate to another country. (Err.... not so keen on these)
In case the Pigs don’t have any such plans, Pigs should still travel more often or learn something unrelated to your job in the Year of Pig. That would ease emotional problems of the Pigs. (I'm emotional? hehehe yeah. Travel? Yeah definitely right after the bar! Whoopeee)
4.The Pigs are likely to encounter changes in romantic relationship this new year and are prone to injury or surgical operation. (Err... I'm gonna be no longer sick but injured??? No thanks)
In terms of love relationship, you might start dating someone new or break up with your existing lover. Getting married is also a change in relationship. (*rolls eyes*)
5. The Pigs tend to think pessimistically and might even start imagining the worst case scenario-what if I lose my job? (What if I flunk the bar?) The only way to deal with such emotional problems is to leave and take a break. Go somewhere abroad for vacation this year. Your restlessness would heap up to new height in Lunar date October 2007 (i.e. 8 November to 7 December 2007), when you should absolutely go travel. Just a short trip of few days. (This is freaky coz September is the bar and i'm definitely gonna have lots of emotional problems there. Nothing I can escape. But yeah, after that, I'm outta here!!!)
6. In the Year of Pig /Boar 2007, all Pigs seem to have signed up the kamikaze and are ready to do anything anytime. The Pigs are likely to overlook or address their limits or weakness. They might misjudge the situations and get their hands in something they are not familiar with. Of course, they would end up in trouble. (HAHAHAHA this is me all the time! Not just 2007)
7. In your Chinese horoscope constellation this year, there are the lucky stars Jie Shen and Tian Jie. They generally would come to your help when you are in trouble. Yet, also because of their presence, most Pigs are prone to disasters and troubles, which can be created by yourself or others. (ARGH)
8. It is hard for the Pigs to achieve on their own this year. So, take advantage of your astrology force. People are willing to help you in Year 2007. Always ask for help at the crucial moments. Especially when you are facing keen competitions, you need those extra hands to make things work. (I'll keep that in mind)
I am doomed. Wish me luck people. The rollercoaster ride is about to begin. |
