Sweet Sorrow 2

A kiss in the car
The best she's had
They shouldn't have allowed it
and they both knew it
Sweet sorrow, sweet sweet sorow.

A crush, he says
A crush, she utters
Admitting feelings, denying the depth
common interests, coincidences
Sweet sorrow, sweet sweet sorrow.

No one knows if they were thinking
of the sorrowful reality that laid close by
It was only sweetness that they were tasting
as they kissed again beneath the sky.

reality is cruel
Cruelty is real
she'll spend summer in denial
and autumn alone
Sweet sorrow, sweet sweet sorrow

they hid their feelings
from all they knew
now one is in austria
and the other at home
sweet sorrow, sweet sweet sorrow

Ten months apart
Toughen thee heart
Remain as friends
keep up the pretence
sweet sorrow, sweet sweet sorrow.

No one knows if they were thinking
Of the sorrowful reality that laid close by
It was only sweetness that they were tasting
as they kissed again beneath the sk.

ten months apart
toughen the heart
remain as friends
keep up the pretence.......

Rest of the blog:
hrmph... i dunno what's come over me... i've got a feeling that by the end of this trip, i'd have write a dozen versions of 'Sweet sorrow' hahaha.. one day i may put one of them to a tune maybe... but that day isn't close. Got no instruments close enough to use.. haha..

Sweet Sorrow 1

Sweet Sorrow
A love that can't be
We're too far to see
What are we to each other?

Sweet sorrow
A long time apart
Tears fall from the heart
What do these feelings mean?

Sweet Sorrow
Happiness and pain
Shared intimacy
Unexpected Sweetness
Unexpected Sorrow

Sweet sorrow
Love not intended
Feelings so confused
Time too short to do anything

Sweet Sorrow
You know I'd say no
So you didn't ask
But you threw me a curved ball

Sweet Sorrow
Happiness and pain
Shared intimacy
Unexpected sweetness
Unexpected sorrow...

Gasing Race

5-9-06

Lightly tanned ochre
and many shades of green
Black and orange spider
Looking so very mean

Running through the jungle
missing all the sights
step through man made rubble
to see nature's light

Pain, thirst and breathlessness
To each their own limit
Away from city restlessness
Yourself you want to beat

You hear wind rushing past
Leaves fall as you run
You don't want to be last
Yet you want to have fun

Trail running is therapy
An escape from life
A way out of the tragedy
Of today's modern strife

Heavy thuds or light footfalls
One race for many ages
The shrill sound of adrenaline calls
for more speed from the racers

The finish line is near
The timers sit by quietly
the crowd starts to cheer
Who is that?

Disclaimer: The writer wasn't actually at the end of the race.. so all that part is just well... hearsay and imagination. The writer wasn't racing either.. but she did fall in love with trail running during that race. =)
