excerpts

* in high school, there was this kid who almost always end up writing all sorts of ideas on her notebook just to survive a horiffyingly boring class. her write-ups ranged from insanely gothic to icky sweet sacharrine stuff. below are excerpts of an untitled poem she wrote out of utter romantic hopelessness..

i find myself standing by the sea,
under a starry sky and an enchanted moon.
lost in a trance of great serenity,
thinking: he will arrive soon.

out of the shadows appears my love, my knight,
to do naught but sing me his sweet serenade.
and to dance with me in the moonlight,
to the tune of the sounding waves.

...
but at first light of sunrise,
my love departs and kisses me farewell.

he is just a dream, an illusion,
created by this lonely heart of mine.
...

but as absurd as it may seem to be,
i believe he is real out in the world somewhere.
in our secret paradise by the sea,
one day, my love will meet me there.
