When We Grow Old and Gray

When we grow old and gray
Hand in hand we go and say a prayer
Inside the wayside, small chapel

When we grow old and gray
Like a carefree child in the past
Butterflies and dragonflies we will chase 

When we grow old and gray
In a beautiful thatched cottage will be our abode
Chickens, goats, dogs, cows keep us company

When we grow old and gray
Your guitar you will pluck and strum
And together we'll sing our theme lullaby

When we grow old and gray
Along the seashore we'll take long walks
And watch the sun rising gracefully in the horizon

When we grow old and gray
Beautiful sunsets we will watch
Underneath the canopy of giant trees

When we grow old and gray
My favorite chicken broth you will always cook
And together we will share hearty meals

When we grow old and gray
In a hammock we will lie down and relax
Watch the moon, count the zillion stars above

When we grow old and gray
Colorful summer clothes we will often wear
And play hide and seek under the coconut groves

When we grow old and gray
You will kiss my forehead and whisper me
Sweet nothings like we often do

When we grow and gray
In your strong arms you will carry me
And make graceful pirouettes amidst laughter

When we grow old and gray
And finally be at my deathbed
Please watch me take my last breath and say
That you have loved me more than anything else in this world
And promise me that we will meet again in heaven soon!

Soul Mate

Prelude:

One lazy Sunday morning, my Preety Sistah of My White Window chanced upon me in FB (today)! I clicked LIKE on a post of her which goes this way and I quote: "You write so beautifully....the inside of your mind must be a terrible place." Then we had some few exchanges encouraging me to give life again to a dormant blog (this blog of mine) which had been sleeping for quite sometime now...and out of this pitter-patter feelings I have at the moment when she nudged me, I promised, yes, I promised to write something today! 

So, dear pretty, I am penning some few lines here and hopefully you will like it!It's a topic I am wishing to write about ever since...or I guess I may have touched this topic a bit from my past posts...:-)

SOULMATE

I wish I would have found him
And I can start believing in miracles and magic
In a world that's full of strangers

I wish to wake up each day with him
And hear his voice softly whispering in my ears
That he loves me more than anything else

I wish to watch beautiful sunsets with him
And walk hand in hand, feeling the warmth 
As we chase tiny ripples along the seashores

I wish to spend simple dinner with him
And share the good and the bad times
We have had in this chaotic world

I wish to dance the night away with him
And get mesmerized in the romantic music
That accompanies our nervous steps on the dance floor

I wish to share and tell him all
The pains, the tears, the disappointments
The triumphs, the joys and the laughter..

And I wish I will have the courage to let him know
That he is the best thing that ever happened to me
And I will love him with my whole heart, body and soul!

Terrible thoughts dear Pretty, from a beautiful mind... :D Errrrr...the silent, romantic side of me huh!

Dawn of Confusion???


It was past midnight. The tick of the clock and the hum of the AC were deafening in the still midnight. Why is it that everything appears magnified in the darkness of the night, the fears, and even the hunger. I felt famished. The culprit? A mouth blister that hindered me to eat enough, the pain is just excruciating. I  prepared myself a mug of hot chocolate drink and drank it with some bites of cheese cake soothing to my hurting mouth and satisfying my gustatory cravings.

As I could not sleep even after satiating those hunger pangs in my stomach, I decided to write in advance this Sunday’s prompt at One Single Impression ~ Dawn. 

My mind was swimming in endless thoughts. I could not decide on what to write to render the prompt. Will it be a short story? A poem? Or some morning thoughts? There was a raging conflict within my mind on what to write. I decided, let me write what all came to my mind and do the final choice at the end.

Will I write about:

A poor scavenger boy’s struggle
Whose life and survival
Depended on mounds of garbage
That he collected and removed
His income linked to the quantum handled
He always looked forward to heaps of rubbish
In every new dawn?

Or will I write about:

A colleague’s utter agony
When she was diagnosed
With stage two cancer
Followed by inevitable mastectomy
Almost halfway through her
Enervating chemo sessions
She wished for a remission
Hopeful that she’d still wake up to
Many more new dawns?

Or will I write about:

A farmer’s poor lot
Who after planting his crops
Had the misfortune of a typhoon
That wreaked havoc on his field
Ravaging the bountiful crop he had hoped
Leaving nothing but barren land
Crushed though, his hopes were not dashed
Resilient he was in the belief
That in the months to come  
He can raise fresh crops
To recoup his staggering loss
Positively looking forward in his life for
A bright new dawn?

Or will I write about:

Life is full
Of ups and downs
Of highs and lows
Of blessings and trials
Of tranquility and storms
Of peace and wars
Of joys and sorrows

But for every down
Trial, storm, low
War and sorrow
 There lay ahead
A bright, new DAWN?

The roosters in the neighborhood have started crowing noisily. I looked at my watch. It’s almost five in the morning. The sun has started scattering its bright light on the horizon. The glasses in my bedroom window shimmered in  the early morning light that the thick curtains could hardly conceal. 

Whewww….good morning fellow OSI writers!!! J

I am just overwhelmed this morning seeing a bright new dawn and have nothing sensible in mind to finally write, after spending almost half of my sleeping hours wide awake like an owl. Now haggard looking and wished to hit the pillow once again… J ;)

But what a dawn, a beautiful dawn… J

Yeah, morning has broken and yet, my mind was still not able to decide what am I finally gonna write? Weewwww... :P

Oh, Men!!!

Folks, before I will go on a holiday a couple of days from now (wish me luck and happiness buddies...*wink, wink*:)......I would like to post a kilometric blog and I hope I will not lull you to sleep reading this. It is a mixture of some thoughts that may make you smile, that may make you hate me, especially the guys (peace!) and that may give you second thoughts (for the young at heart) especially the ladies....:)!!!

It took me several days to pen this, and then I found out that I can go on and on writing about men, (Oh, Men!), but I may be harboring ill-feelings if I won't stop just for the right period!!!Lols!!!

So here buddies, fasten your seatbealt and let's have some kind of fun...(not really) coz' I know every other guy who'll read this will start bawling at me helplessly and in silence (I am out of reach, you know!) and if it would be possible for them, may start cursing me under the sun! Lols!!!

To the ladies, I admonish you that you must heed to me if you wish to have a happy life, because I wish that you must not or should I say:

Don't love a talkative man
he always feels he has
the gift of gab!

Don't love a boastful man
when all you have to do
is take the winds out of his sail!

Don't love a mean man
when all he has to do
is embarrass you infront of his friends!

Don't love an elusive man
he will keep you guessing
when he will come to you!

Don't love an old man
he will be too happy
he found the best homecare in you!

Don't love a poor man
you will always feel
hunger pangs in your stomach!

Don't love a silent man
when all you have to do
is put words into his mouth!

Don't love a bespectacled man
your beauty is useless
as he is blind as bat!

Don't love a broke man
he will always keep
a tight rein on your expenditures!

Don't love a brainy man
he will only have
an endless debate with you!

Don't love a masquerading man
his character could only
stir up a hornet's nest!

Don't love a poet
if he writes a poem for you
it will just be pure fiction!

Don't love a moron
you will only regret
how foolish you are!

Don't love a desperate and irritable man
small words you say would always seem
like a red rag to a bull!

Don't love a naughty man
he would be whistling at the sight
of the beautiful girl next door!

Don't love a young man
you're just as good
as a sugar Mom!

Don't love a pretentious man
you'd be surprised
he's just a wolf in sheep's clothing!

Don't love a bemedalled man
he may always have the
tendency to blow his own trumpet!

Don't force your man to love your blogging world
you can't make a silk purse
out of a sow's ear!

Don't love a Scrooge man
he has no right
to treat you less of a person!

Don't love a romantic man
he will only promise you
the moon, the sun, the stars above!

Don't love a thoughtful man
he might think
you're a gold digger!

Don't love a good samaritan
once he bumps his head on a wall he would realize
it was just his spur of the moment decision!

Now, what's left for you to choose from? NOTHING!!! But hey, I have no right to keep you from your happiness! Lols! You have the right to choose the best and before you plunge into the abyss of pure bliss (as what you think), please don't forget to leave a suicide note! He he he!!! Peace to all!

Happy reading! Hope I made you smile even for just a fleeting moment!!! See you in two-weeks' time! Hope to be back soon, earlier! Promise!!!

Ciao.....:)...;)
