Legally Blonde Moment

For the last three days I have had a desperate urge to paint my nails hot pink. After 1 month of almost transparent white - trying to keep it classy! - I finally did... And now I'm happy!

While rummaging through a box of momentos, I found a little rhyme that I wrote about a year and a half ago at a creative writing seminar - We were asked to think of our previous evening and write a poem about it on the spot.

She sat on the couch,
Cross-legged and complaining,
She'd finally found him, the one,
I poured another glass of wine
and she whined about his mother,
I stared into the fire consumed by it,
As she devised a plan...


... They are now happily married!

Drum Beat

If you stop for a second you might feel your heart race,
It’s rate betrays the pace of your days,
Like a drum, beating fast and rhythmic,
But the thing is, you never stop.

Never have I ever...

More pleasant memories....

We sat there,
Drinking our liver to nothingness,
Music in the distant background,
Reverberating laughter and a bottle of vodka up front,
“Never have I ever…” It began,
The sharing of stupidities,
Drug induced sexcapades,
Stories that ten years earlier would have enthralled and captivated us all,
We still laugh now despite the irony of the setting,
Despite the emptiness it proves we all share.
Never have I ever loved and lost.
Everybody would have had a drink, only nobody said it.
Never have I been heartbroken or lonely or desperate,
How human, how weak,
We would all rather sound like adolescents,
Than feel exposed,
Oh its my turn now,
Never have I ever…

The Circus

Another pleasant memory from last summer...

Spotlight.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to my one man show.
It’s a multilingual, multicultural, multiple personality event.
I aim to please.

Watch me on the tightrope,
One step at a time,
Always in control.
As I twist and turn,
You think I might fall,
But I know better.

I can juggle too,
Even from up here.
Watch me as I toss one ball in the air,
And then another, and another.

I have the agility of an acrobat,
And the innate clumsiness of a clown.

I miss!
I lost a ball,
The shows over.
I dive down into the net,
Into oblivion.




Wonder how long I'll last this time!?? I've re-evaluated and slightly altered my technique!

Tug of War!!!

I wrote this last summer...

I pull with all my strength,
With every fiber of my being,
It’s getting closer and closer,
I could win,
In one shining moment I let go,
I take one look at my broken rivals clinging to their prize,
And I walk away.


Damned if im gonna go down that road again!

Amman Summer 2009!!!

I saw it approaching... A swirling mist of fog heading towards me. But did I run, or even duck? In one swirling sensation, I was catupulted into another dimension, an alternate universe, and the mind-numbing drama begins again!
