To Laugh at Tears

I want to laugh at the tears I shed
I seek emptiness
Joy amidst pain,
the turmoil that brews delight.

I want to laugh at the silence I kept
I seek meaningless
Crude awakening,
the faith that binds man to man.

I want to laugh at the heart I knew
I seek in vain
Deafening roar of complete surrender,
coldness of immobilizing sadness.

I want to laugh at the tears I shed
I seek emptiness
The stars I see entwined such high
make me forget my Earth.

Disappointments

This is one of those times that I can really feel like crying but then I cannot. Sometimes it hurts real bad if you're suddenly disappointed.

If only you can just stand up, take a deep breath, take hold of the fallen ladder and lean it up against the wall again, you

More of an introduction of a book, the second book in my life so far that has managed to bring tears to my eyes. the five people you meet in heaven I am sure many of us think about heaven. Life after death. More Heavens. And paradise. I am sure none of us have the guts to really say they understand what heaven is, and how it looks like. Nobody's sure. Nobody even knows the answer. And the ones who might know cannot even tell you because they are "away". And that's how I found myself reading this book yesterday. There are two reasons why I chose this book yesterday. First being many have read it and thought it good, the other being the reason I stated earlier. Moreover, I found myself truly engrossed in the book, an experience that has eluded me ever since I started tertiary education; an irony being the demands of my course. It's rare to see me reading books nowadays. It's even more uncommonly rare to

Innocence

Innocence is the beauty of a flower untouched and fresh from the sun with few drops of dew hanging from the leaves Innocence is the stillness of a rock the unnoticed nature of greyish composition with nothing but a dull complexion dreading its existence Innocence is the heart of human the pounding porcelain creation of God with nothing but the mind to tease and turn it into dust
