The Poetry of My Life through My Writings and Journeys
I thought i am the master
until i was enslaved by you
Nothing could be more true
than what Ernest Hemingway once knew
No matter how many times
we’ve been through it
We’ll always be the apprentice
who’ll never say adieu.

If time creates memory and memory defines time, where am i?
Am i still in the past when i hope that the good things i have will last?
Or am i now in the present when my future steps in a split second
For sure i’m not yet in the future because i still keep my prayer in my door.
If my past defines my future, where will my present be?
Is it in the middle of the two, a prelude to a future past beyond my grasp?
If my present decides my future, who decides my past?
Wasn’t my past was also once my future in the not so distant present?
Time really confuses me, so i let go of my time. They say spend it wisely.
Does being wise mean you spend your time preparing for your future?
But how can you prepare for your future without neglecting the precious present?
How can you be wise when it goes so quickly?
Good thing i got memories.
But memories belong to the past not the future.
And time moves in a different direction, memory in another.
Time moves forward. Memory relives the past.
I’ll just enjoy the moment. I don’t know how to spend my time wisely.
I’ll just use it.

No rainfall
No gloomy dark night
The promise
of a magical shooting star
Warm breeze
and a sun-drenched sky
The weatherman
is not always right.

What would you do when you meet a bunch of Stone Hearted Guys? Have a photo shoot with them, avoid the blinding lights by wearing your shades and fight the need to meet a warm hearted real man.
