Puff, the Magic Dragon - Leonard Lipton, Peter Yarrow

Puff, the Magic Dragon

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name. Oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giants' rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. Oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.



Reflection #twentyfour

The year with you.

All the tears shed, all the weariness, all the loneliness were startling, even to herself.
You had me feeling that my old self was gone, and was living the life of someone else.

The lies, the judgement passed casually, the hypocritical situations she often found herself in.
You taught me to see evil intent everywhere, sentencing me to a life of second guessing and cynicism.

A minute slip of displeasure, a little show of rebellion, a subtle gesture of hatred were frowned upon immensely.
You had me masking my emotions, stopping myself from defending what is right.

No chances at redemption, no room for forgiveness, no show of justice.
You made me grow up faster than I planned to, in which I'd like to thank you for it.

I never said goodbye to you.
Because I believe that we will meet again...someday.



Romeo and Juliet - S.O.A.P.

Romeo and Juliet

It's a lot like Romeo and Juliet
It feels like
Something's happening to me

In the summertime I met a guy
He was so fine, He blew my mind
My friends are telling me
Girl he's a loser
But they can't see

It's a lot like Romeo and Juliet
It feels like
Something's happening to me

From the first time I saw his eyes
There was sunshine
Everytime he walks into the room
I feel my heart go boom boom boom

It's a lot like Romeo and Juliet
It feels like
Something's happening to me

There was a time, when I was young
And love it felt so strong
Now it comes back to me
What's going on

It's a lot like Romeo and Juliet
It feels like
Something's happening to me

& there goes the last chance.

The Chain - ingrid Michaelson

The Chain

The sky looks pissed
The wind talks back
My bones are shifting in my skin
And you my love are gone

My room seems wrong
The bed won't fit
I cannot seem to operate
And you my love are gone

So glide away on soapy heels
And promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again
Then I will take, then I will take the chain from off the door

I´ll never say I´ll never love
But I don´t say a lot of things
And you my love are gone

So glide away on soapy heels
And promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again
Then I will take, then I will take the chain from off the door

Till we meet again.

Grey's Anatomy - Season 1, Episode 3

"Well cause dying is a get out of jail free card. I can be as bold as I want and there's nothing anybody can say about it. So I flirt. Haven't you ever been attracted to someone you know you couldn't have?"

-Lloyd Mackie
See you at the other Eden.

What's gone and what's past help
Should be past grief

But only if we could just turn back time...

Reflection #23

Him. Rambling about how sorry he was, and how he misjudged, but say as he might he still believed that his first speculation was right. All the effort wasted, trying to rise above, trusting him for the second time though it was excruciatingly painful to forget the sorrows suffered, just to know that what he said were all lies. It was better if he cut out the pretense, and tell the world that he believed he was right, instead of saying that he believed another but taking back his fibs when the situation was at its tipping point. Proved to the involved that he is nothing but a poseur through and through, pretending to be genuine, but still sitting on the high horse hitherto unknown to others.
How I'd wish to shoot you off your horse.
Her. Saying how she doesn't want something, but changed her mind after being disillusioned, and now trying all means to get the other party to retreat, to withdraw, so that all's not forced, all's to be seemed as if it's no one's fault, especially not hers. Speaking and talking like a broken faucet, ranting off everything even though she was told of the information in the fullest confidentiality. Forgoing the values of a friendship as she's surrounded with the flame of burning desire for excellence.
I'd wanna rip your mask off in this masquerade world.
But no, I'm not going to do that, because it would give me no advantage, but'd just make me stoop so low to the level y'all are at.
You. Thought different of you, but what a disappointment. Oh well, so much for having faith in you. So much for commenting how others are, when actually you're a pea from the same pod. Never believed that you'd conspire with them, and nor for anything against anyone at all.
If you have so much faith, why not spare a tat for me as well?
I. Seen the true colors, albeit not with my own eyes. Why, knowing that it hurts, do they still speculate. With no factual evidence, based merely on their feelings and one sided opinion, it rendered them reason enough to sought shield coverage with the higher authority involved. Giving no chance for defense and explanation, because they know deep down them being selfish beings they'd care less anyway. They'd eliminate the weak with no guilt, in spite knowing that it is against their morals to do so, just so that they can have an increased probability of excelling as there'd be no longer anything to tie them down. With those spiritual teachings orthodoxly reflected what they are, it's no wonder I quitted the moment I could.
It's one of these moments that show who one's real friends could be, who one's real friends are.

I thought y'all were the better few with at least an iota of humanity.
Guess it was a mistake in the extreme.
Thank God (ha!, the irony) for this hypocritical, judgmental world that I live in.

Reflection #22

Don’t be sad, don’t be depressed, and don’t be out of love. If lady luck is with you, you'll find yourself with even more love, care and joy, more than what I've given you. Now, you've the power and freewill to do virtually anything you’ve ever dreamed of, and there's no moral obligations to hold you back. So go, go on, and enjoy that leap of freedom.

My heart will beat for you till we meet again. How soon, how late, I give you my word that we'll meet and I'll be yours if we've both yet found another. If we manage to take a cruise one last time down memory lane, we'll smile at moments and the beautiful scenery of the path we have travelled.

I promise you, I'll give all my best in the road less chosen that I'll be setting my foot on in the near future. I'll take a break for now, and you can go search for the better love that you've been missing out on all these years.


See you in five.
I'm sorry.
