For the lack of a better idea

I’m going to post a couple of my ‘poems’, since I really feel like blogging, and I really don’t have a topic… The first is just an observation that goes well with the theme that has dominated my blog, and my thoughts, as well as those of my close friends… this is called:

In A Moment

Time passes by
and with a glimpse of an eye

youth fades to age
sweet love to sour rage

I try to grasp a moment
but waste a lifetime instead

Very straight forward. This second one is a bit stranger. I really like it, because to me, it’s a strange one, one that I wrote while in the middle of a huge programming assignment back in my days as an undergrad. I was still working, with my team member, early in the morning (on campus) and I stepped outside for a breath of ‘fresh’ air… I saw this cat, and the poem was burned into my head. Just like that, it took me a few minutes to jot it down… It’s called:

C.A.T.

Staring at me, speaking
words I can not hear

from behind deep red eyes
is it pity, or fear?

calmly poised on dark roots
as if reading my mind

determined unflinshing stare
slowly it lies down

curled upon itself
on a self-proclaimed bed

the eyes pierce me
burning pain in my head

swiftly it springs away
and is forever gone

What do you think?
