On Raglan Road of an Autumn day,
I saw her first and knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare
That I might one day rue.
I saw the danger and i passed
Along the enchanted way
And I said let grief be a fallen leaf
At the dawning of the day.
On Grafton Street in November,
We tripped lightly along the ledge
Of a deep ravine where can be seen
The worst of passions pledged.
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts
And I not making hay,
Oh I loved too much; and such by such
Is happiness thrown away.
I gave her the gifts of the mind.
I gave her the secret sign
That's known to the artists who have
Known true gods of sound and stone.
With word and tint I did not stint.
I gave her poems to say
With her own name there and her own dark hair
Like the clouds over fields of may.
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet,
I see her walking now away from me,
So hurriedly. my reason must allow,
That I have loved, not as I should
A creature made of clay.
When the angel woos the clay, he'll lose
His wings at the dawn of the day.

You cant be soo pessimistic all the time!!...just cant ok!!..more so on a personal level :o)...and what happens if none of your plans workout?..where do you go???..which singer is gonna make sense to you then??..huh?Besides all they do is sing and it simply ends with that...if you go to people all you ever get is 'dont worry,thats really sad'...now where is that gonna get you??..back to another sad song.Thats it.
And how do you know that none of my plans worked out ? Just because i like to listen sad songs doesn't mean I'm pessimistic. I don't understand why you keep judging others all the time. I keep it to my self because there's no use explaining what you won't understand. The point is that we don't agree with each other, and lets just accept it.
Yes.I'am judgemental.Thats what inspires me.Everytime i'am proved wrong, i go further.Its just a thought at the end of day.My treatment/behaviour with the person is never based on it.Besides, a person has soo many shades to him/her...you obviously go through a series of their qualities ....naturally you blah blah about it...both positive and negative...and eventually are at a loss of words to describe him/her !!...maybe even a book would not suffice.Infact, i still never mentioned that we dont agree.Did i?? Howevr, there are those insane moments when you simply feel thats what it is and shockingly it turns out to be the truth.In other words instinct??Instinct is my favourite :o).Thats why i never got the definitions right in school.Sheesh.
And dont say i dont understand, coz you never bothered to explain. Iam not some magician that simply grasps everything.I know you are not a character who goes around talking , unless it means nothing to you.And it takes me a lifetime to understand anything tooooo structured or heavily poetic .....the confusing/complex layout distracts me.However, once i understand the thought behind and like it, i land up respecting it.Hm.
'I gave her the gifts of the mind'....BRILLIANT
I don't want you to grasp anything, i don't remember if i asked for any kind of help or suggestions about my mental state or life. Still you keep experimenting on my behavior and speculating the conclusions, which aren't based on any confirmed information. You don't see the things the way they are instead you try to change them so they look like your way, the way that suits you.
Ummm.Ok.So what confirmation are we talking about??The confirmation i know i'll never get?? I was fully wrong!!I think i have come to a point where it doesnt matter.You see, thats the best thing about blogging.No confirmation!! iam daffy to the world and you are leon.Maybe that is your real name.I mean you dont know me and vice versa.Still, we get to talk about all these things...i mean tomorrow if i get bored i can happily wash my hands off and carry on like the whole thing never happened!! at the most you'll consider me a lame person.So what ?? You dont even know me ,we're not neighbours or something.But the whole trip is worth the ride!!and for judgemental characters this is the thing!!I dont even have to face the other!As far as situation suiting me, i doubt it applies to our case coz, if i had done that i would not have stressed my lazy fingers to go the extra mile to type Leon or 'is it you'!And my suggestion let me tell you...it certainly wasnt a suggestion!! or help!!i'd say that to anyone.I was trying to be 'sweet'.I mean its not like iam gonna actually help you!!i mean....whats wrong it simply saying!!rite?..nothing.If theres anyone experimenting its you.
Thus iam the stupid one for sure.Again.I ve typed in a page.
You took your time and drafted it carefully, so its a win win situation. And i really wonder why you were trying to be "sweet". Its a girl thing i guess. And you said it just right "at this point it doesn't matter", so i shouldn't bother explaining anything at all. Therefore i appologize for getting rude , if i did. I can't consider you you as lame person because i never judge people, you're just a stranger to me and moreover a kid who's proud and highly spirited. This blog has fulfilled its purpose so i don't really care if anyone visits it or not.
How dare you degrade my precious comments to some lame 'win win ' situation?? If its about winning for you, man has created something called as sports...go play them and win them all....stand there with all your trophies .ok? .You dont even know me, so dont be too sure iam a girl.I never said i was a girl.Did i?? And i hate the way you comfortably say iam proud.When iam a stranger to you,how can you do that?? Besides, you are not only the superlative of ' proud', but stubborn too.Yes.However,I may take back my ''it does'nt matter'' statement for sometime.If you want to tell me, you can.
There you are still suspicious that you know me. Well what do you want me to tell you exactly ? I will tell you, just tell me what do you want to know. So that you could stop suspecting me of one of your failures.
I know enough now OK...How many times do i tell you.I have said it a zillion times now.Forget it....you are not him.I know.Bloody sad.He'll never know what i thought or wanted to tell him.Serves him right.And yes i listened to the song its fine.
