Lost

No face that launched a thousand ships
Yet no reason to return ashore;
The paths had clearly diverged in two
And I took the one travelled before.
But yet I'm still lost for all my looking--
Is it truth or is it lore?

There's no map now of where I'm headed,
No compass give me direction;
And when I look to the stars and skies
The clouds obscure my vision.
So all that's left to carry me through
Is heart...

(...and a good proper dose of friendship)

dearest el, wah lao
even if thou art a sao bao
it must be confessed
that thy words so thoughtfully expressed
are certainly from no fool-
... how could thou then say that lit be not thy best subject in school?

hahaha.

how can you have a blog full of poetry...

and in the same breath claim that lit was never your strongest subject?

my friends are so funny
even when they attempt poetry
which is not nearly as good as our dearest s-b
even though her strongest subj isn't l-i-t
(tee hee hee)
