Valentines day yesterday, today, and really....should be everyday.....

It seems it's been a week since I've written. There have not been a whole lot of thing that has happened this past week. I was quite busy at work, where I usually write and at home, well . . . I haven't written at home because I've been falling asleep super early this week. I've been working about 9-10 hour week days so, my body is exhausted by the time I get home. No naps for me. Not to mention it does not help that I haven't worked out either. Not even my usual treadmill time. I really need to get my schedule up in order so that I can function better and incorporate working out. I need to lose about 10 more lbs. I don't quite care how long it will take. So long as it's healthy, I'm gonna lose it by the end of the year. I'm determined to do so. =)

So it was the day of hearts yesterday and I for the 26th year in a row, did not have a significant other to share the day with. I fortunately have wonderful friends who I commiserated with instead. I make it sound so horrible but really, it's just another day like any other day. Love ones should really not wait 'til Valentines to show love. It's a hallmark cards gimmick and we have all fallen for it. Really, everyday is an opportunity to show your love, appreciation, gratitude, kindness to others. No need for a greeting card company to force the deed on us all. In fact, we should make everyday valentines day, just like making everyday like Christmas. Why do you think Christmas in April is so popular? Anyway . . .

What's the update on good 'ole me? Oh first of all, why am I not writing poems lately? Well, I haven't been inspired. Although I have some written down on paper. I guess I can write them in. I'm working on a song. It has a nice melody. I just need to tweak the lyrics...I'm not quite happy with it and I want to place some funky rhythm to it so we'll see if I can fix it. So slowly but surely I'm creating.

What is it that makes us think
When all wonders never seize to exist
Questions flowing nonstop
It insists to persist

Though often no ear would hear
To the void we scream our voice
It swallows the sound of each question asked
No answers given, not even a choice

I sit and ponder as the world turns
Each moment passes it seems
Sometimes questions are never answered
Just left there hanging, questions just beckoning
The void teasing
No, no answer is coming

I hit the wall of the unknown
Where as you stare, you would not now
There lies behind the invisible obstacle
Answers to every question possible

How indeed will I ever be able to penetrate
A wall made to hold answers so delicate
Will the bottomless pit ever be present
Or will it always, always prevent

No will left at the end
But persevere I must to achieve
Be able to get the answers
Beyond the wall, swallowed by the void
Unwilling to give up the answers I seek, unwilling to bend
I forge on with this battle
'Til at last I myself am swallowed
Embraced by the same darkness that holds truths
Finding anwers I once sought
And I then became part of the answer itself
