Fretless
[info]chonghwee
We all live in a house on fire
No fire department to call
No way out, just the upstairs window to look out of


Do I Dare?
[info]chonghwee
Your reason and
Your passion
Are the sails
Of your seafaring soul

Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple
[info]chonghwee
A bad influence.

Beggars at the Feast
[info]chonghwee
This gift
That is free will
Certainly we squander it
And it is because of this squandering
that we must ask of Him

Kurtosis
[info]chonghwee
And so each venture
Is a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate,
With shabby equipment always deteriorating
In the general mess of imprecision of feeling,
Undisciplined squads of emotion.

Choruses From the Rock
[info]chonghwee
And if all that is meaningless,  I want to be cured
Of a craving for something I cannot find
And of the shame of never finding it

Go ahead, tighten the knot of confusion
into perfect misunderstanding


Compatabilist Predestination
[info]chonghwee
Merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream

I Am a Stranger in Your Country
[info]chonghwee
It rains down on us in those twittering
hours when the streets turn their faces to the dawn,
and when two bodies who have found nothing,
disappointed and depressed, roll over;
and when two people who despise each other
have to sleep together in one bed-

The difference between loneliness and solitude
is more than clear under this roof.

Communique
[info]chonghwee
 Mi vida es mia, y, nadie nada, debe ser capaz de derribarlo.

Sticks and Stones
[info]chonghwee
 May break my bones.

Let Me
[info]chonghwee
The wounded surgeon plies the steel
That questions the distempered part
Beneath the bleeding hands we feel
The sharp compassion of the healer's art
Resolving the enigma of the fever chart

Our only health is the disease
If we obey the dying nurse
Whose constant care is not to please
But to remind of our, and Adam's curse
And that, to be restored, our sickness must grow worse
 
The whole earth is our hospital
Endowed by the ruined millionaire
Wherein, if we do well, we shall
Die of the absolute paternal care
That will not leave us, but prevents us everywhere

Be Patient In Your Afflictions
[info]chonghwee
My words fly up, my thoughts remain below
Words without thoughts never to heaven go.

Of Word and Spirit
[info]chonghwee
My eyes already touch the sunny hill.
going far ahead of the road I have begun.
So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp;
it has inner light, even from a distance-

and charges us, even if we do not reach it,
into something else, which, hardly sensing it,
we already are; a gesture waves us on
answering our own wave...
but what we feel is the wind in our faces.

The spring garden
A ship of summer
Swimming through
My winter vision

Fleeting
[info]chonghwee
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

Grace
[info]chonghwee
 It's the soul, afraid of dying
that never learns to live.

Dearest Polonius,
[info]chonghwee
We all know what we are,
But we know not what we may be.

Notes from the Underground
[info]chonghwee

Boldness be my friend;
Arm me, audacity from head to foot.

 


Baaa
[info]chonghwee
I think it's okay
To not know exactly who you are
As long as you remember who you're not;
Sheep.

Home Is Where The Heart Rests Weary
[info]chonghwee

You know i'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So i wouldn't come home low
