Well, something good came out of my being grounded at home - I'm enjoying reading Order of The Phoenix, I discovered Jessica Zafra's (Twisted) blog site and another interesting blog - PostSecret. I added them up on my Friendly Bloggers section along with the satirical and very controversial blog Make Poverty History. That blog is so fun to read and the comments are even more hilarious.

Anyway, thought I'll go back to posting poems for now. Been watching too many movies still. To all my fellow struggling artists...

Will You Still Love Me

If we’ll live in a house with no pretty garden
with no birds that sing in mornings
And I can’t cover your bed with the softest linen
nor put a diamond on your ring


Will you still love me
If I’ve not much more than a penny to give
to take you to a finer dinner
For I never even tasted such luxury
of those born with a spoon of silver


Will you still love me
If we ride a carriage made for farming
and we can’t charter to different places
And we’ll read only of those in books
with tattered and worn-out pages


Oh, but I do dream of a house with butterfly gates
and a bedroom with a view
To feast and dine on porcelain plates
and to picture a yard in dew


But ask me of what I do not have
A mansion or an acre lot
If your happiness rely upon these things
I love you dear but no, thank you
You really love me not
