In Love With...

I was quiet and shy since I was little. I guess that is why I don't have many friends. The best company I've ever had.. were all the books in the library. Legends, Folk Tales and Fairy Tales were my favourites.
I can still remember how I embrace the books as I walk home every time I have borrow them from the library. At times, I'd read them more than twice, till I forgot to return them when the date was due. As the result, I was not allowed to borrow any books on the following week. I'd then walk away with my teary eyes.. but guess what.. all through that week, I'd be running in and out of the library, spending every little time I've had.. reading on the floor in between the shelves. Lovely...isn't it? I seem to have fallen in love with the books in the library...!!(lol...)


The Nightingale's Sigh
Broken is my heart
as cold as the ice
bitter from the start
sold for none a price.
*
Squirrels earn their crops
Autumn's passing by
they couldn't see those teardrops
falling from my eyes.
*
Holy angels sing
wonder through the night
oh, when will church bells ring
and rushes me my knight..
-written in 1995-


.....though it's written years after, it's clearly seen.. where the inspirations came from.
It's about a princess, cursed to be a bird, a nightingale..away from her love. As seasons pass after another, she's yet to wait for her knight to come and free her from the curse..
