When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
Siren's Song

Jeez,
My friend actually wrote a poem about me after hearing my sad sad tales of Melbourne.. about love gained and lost... about a girl who gains the sympathy of a friend just acquainted with. His style is so so a mixture of Blake and Shakespeare! Past experience told me that Singaporean guys will get freaked out - bad - if a girl admits that she likes poetry. But when I answered "Blake" to his question "Who's your fave poet?", I think he nearly fell off his chair! He's got a copy of Blake - raised to biblical status - right there in his bag! Coincidence, coincidence, and more coincidence. Singapore's SO SO small... I can't believe he knows like SO many of my friends! My ex-boyfriend, a whole group of people I organized a forum with once, a Secondary school friend, and what-nots? Friends from different spheres all over the place too! Bizarre things like that do happen in Singapore! *grins* Another one of those spontaneous combustions that we experience every now and then... and a true friend found. CooooOoool!

Her song
For love she seek,
Her maker�s meek.
The fight was wild,
The pain not mild.
�for we are wanton boys to flies.�
Thy eyes shall not lie.
They sing a story of thy pain,
Of love, romance and they are heard.
The moon above in sky so high,
The sun that rises will be i.
This love you have is so true,
But sadness befalls upon you.
Art not thou a lover like me?
For thy pain I feel for thee.
