Smelling the roses

I thought I saw.... no way....

Mmmm I must be having severe detox side-effects of it being weekend and I'm not working. For I swear I saw my boss strolling around in my street today. I was hanging over the banisters of my balcony, as usual spying on the passersby. When I thought I recognized his gait, but I could only see the top of his head so I wasn't sure. Told my friend Jack with whom I was having breakfast (at 1 pm) and she shouted his name at the top of her lungs, making me dive for the ground, because if it was him, I didn't want him to see me. I almost couldn't stop laughing and grinning at this action that could only come from Jack. Silly woman. He turned around, but if it was to see who was that mad woman shouting or who the hell was calling him by name. I will never know because I was too busy trying to smother my giggles and rolling on the floor.

Treehouse Fantasy...

You make me feel like...I don't know...

Kissing Doves

Saw the weirdest thing today....
While waiting for the bridge to come down and the ships to pass, I was enjoying the view, watching people, watching the scenery and watching...doves. They were circling around each-other like teenagers in love, giving each-other goo-goo eyes, brushing chest against chest (still nothing unusual). And then it happened: the female and smaller bird began to put her beak in the males throat and I mean...really deeeeepthroat. So I thought well she is his youngster and I let my eyes wonder again. But they kept going at it, and she didn't look like a baby-bird to me. And they sure seemed to be enjoying themselves, closing their eyes and stuff. Brushing against each-other... And then it clicked...they were kissing, french kissing. These doves were actually french kissing! That was a very weird discovery. They did this for a couple of minutes, went to fourth base and flew away in the opposite direction of each-other...
Mmmm sounds familiar...

Rusty Memory

Mmmm I thought I saw a pussycat (mister O), but I'm not sure....
Oh that darn memory of mine is pure rust I tell you.
Well I was busy (training the Doberman of a friend of mine).
When I concentrate on one thing all else disappears, so not my best state of mind to recognize someone.
And this particular dog is a handful, sweet and beautiful as she is.
I said 'Hi' but he was sitting with a woman and I don't know if he has a girlfriend, wife etc... so I just walked by.
But the question remains, was it him?!
At this rate I'm never gonna get hooked up, am I.
Time to bring out the oil to smooth things over in that disaster that is my brain...

Siren

Found this poem on the net, it's so magical... I wanna remember

On the floating, shapeless oceans
I did all my best to smile
till your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving into your eyes.

And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me;
Let me enfold you."

Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?

Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks.
For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I ly with death my bride?

Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you."
"Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."
("Song to the Siren", This Mortal Coil)

Stage-fright

Well I've done it again, lazy ass (....) who bares my name. Tomorrow I will have to perform with my singing group and the songs just keep slipping out of my mind instead of into....grrrrrr. Of course I could have practiced all week, but no, I had to wait to the utmost last possible time to do that. Will I ever learn?! Normally I'm a bit of a deadline person, crisp of body and mind, surfing on adrenaline and fairing well by it. But not tonight, leaving me quite anxious about tomorrow... Well I can always fall back on bluffing (read: playbacking) my way through the whole ordeal. But somehow I have the feeling that's not gonna work this time. Oh deary me, got stagefright all right... OK panic attack.... AAAAaarGGHhhhhh. Eh anybody have a time-machine of sorts?

Sweet Smiling Melancholy

Just a bit sad and sleepy today. Yesterday the birds fell of the roofs from the blazing heat and today the sky cried bitter tears over and over again. I just slept on my sofa, listening to the sound of water pounding on my window. Still it couldn't totally wash away the smiling memory of sun on my skin and wind through my hair, sweat poring out of every pore, cold water teasing and cooling my feet and blue oh so blue skies above me. Ah melancholy, bitter sweet melancholy...

Who needs money...

Who needs money if there are sites like these to behold just around the corner... This is not a picture I would normally take, but I just couldn't resist this burst of color that had an exciting tingly feel to it. And yes...it's that time of year again...I'm totally broke, so all the things I had planned this weekend came to a dead start... but with my cam in hand the world seems brighter with every step I take.

Finding my way through creepy places...
