Pebble

What can I say
Without making it sound like pity?

Your eyes are filled with anguish,
Puffy from tears shed all night.

If only I could
Cuddle you in my arms,
Soothe your pain.

Alas, this is your wilderness.
Your experience.
You can brave this.

Be a David.
Your smooth pebble?
Let it be me.

What Mama Said Not To Play With

Orange, red flakes,
Sparkling bright,
Up, up, up,
So beautiful,
Inviting,
Enthralling,
Enchanting,
It calls to me,
My inmost being.

Baaaaadddd,
I know.
It calls to me,
My inmost being,
It's so pretty.
Mystical; even,
Mesmerizing,
A touch, just a feel,
It calls to me.
I draw close,
Closer...
I touch!

Oooww!!!
It burns...

*Inspired by the lyrics of a highlife song from Ghana. I think the group was Osibisa; I am not too sure about that. The lyrics I remember goes like:
 When you were a babe, your mama told you not to play with fire, aaaahh.
 (Fire will burn you, don't you play with fire, fire will burn you, didn't your mama tell you)

3 Months Into 2010

This is the last day of the month of March in the year 2010. I am reflecting on what I have accomplished in the first quarter of this year, and since I do not make any yearly resolutions, I do not really have  targets to compare what I have accomplished with. The most significant things I have accomplished are predominantly work related; I guess now I have a target for the next quarter: pay more attention to relationships and self without letting work suffer for it. 
So this is how it goes (1st Quarter Accomplishments)

• Starting a new job
• Creating documents on bespoke software
• Helping out a friend with marketing her business
• Mentoring
• Starting this blog and actually posting (yippee)
• Making new friends and renewing old ones.
• Attempting and failing to hook others up, hooking up with others and self (will try harder)
• Tempted to drop everything and go gallivanting anywhere (on my goodness, the urge is still there)
• To be continued next quarter....

What have you accomplished? Making any resolutions or accomplished some of or all the resolutions you made? Do tell....
