画家遇见爱

画家转身遇见小女孩,想:
如果一张画含着千言万语
那为何不让我画你呢?
因为心倦泪也乾时
想画你在心深处。
情画藏了十年,
发觉真爱难遇,难舍也难了。

然后发现
最远的距离
不是星星之间的轨迹
而是纵然轨迹交汇
却在转瞬间无处寻觅

到处寻觅,
然后以为寻到了源头,
该上路..。
有些爱人走了几步,到岸了;
也有人走上千里路,
前面还是坎坷无终点。

当两人踏入森林就别失散,迷路了就很糟糕。
可能各自离开森林,可能遇到另一个迷路人
也可能两人一起找到出路。

那画家呢?
就在转角处,再遇小女孩,
惊喜,仔细看,再用心发现,然后再期待... 但心情还会一样吗?

心若倦了,泪也乾了,小女孩不笑了。
这份心情,难舍难了,期待还有来么?

在转角处遇见的惊喜,仔细看,发现了...
原来最远的距离,
不是两人不能相爱
而是拥抱时,心难搭心。
一个不羁奔跑的宙斯,
一个纯洁完美的艾斯特莱雅,
纵然轨迹交汇,
但可以期待吗?

美丽时分谈卅岁死,六十葬

非常时期,而且还是在忧郁那种的时候,
你遇到到一个你会为自己兴奋的人,陌生人也可以...
那是无价!

如何无价?你发现你还活着,那就是无价。
当你活过你生命的四分一,你还会为自己遇到一个陌生人而兴奋,
那是难得自己对自己有价。

我听说城市人在卅岁死,六十葬。
有道理!

有朋友失业,见面竟然说:
"yo bro still alive arent you?"
"never better... duh! at least you are"
"fxxx 'm six feet under since last year, but my body's still coming to see yo man"
然后就是他的六十葬论

真的很好笑!
苦笑... 然后苦多过笑。
他流泪,我只有苦没有笑。

人为了生活过生活,为了责任为了承诺去干活,搞到精神残废。
活着但灵魂葬了,身躯到六十才可被葬。
很悲!

我还不至于如此吧!我好歹都是干着自己的理想。
虽然还没回到以前的稳定和挥霍...
但如果我有一天捧着现在的理想回到以前的物质享受,
我会笑着活!

人的梦醒时分,我在埋头赶货。
但忽然不留神的为一个陌生人兴奋...
我发现灵魂与我同在
至少现在... 紧紧和我身躯锁着。

谢!

Gloomy Sunday

外面天气热热的
房里空气凉凉的
工作烦得我难以呼吸
心情更是莫名沉重...

沉重?怎么沉重?

所以在写blog减重,哈!

想起了以前的我,以前的满足...
很模糊的感觉,但不知为何还在很努力地回忆,很酸。
如果我乖乖的不逃,现在应该会过得很幸福
如果我及时补牢,照理我会有我的家,正浸在懒懒的星期天
如果... 算吧!很早就没有如果了,因为是她... 变了
nono, 那个她,死了。
这样的定论比较合理...

段段感情来又去,过客来了去我依然在找
找什么?我忘了...

一直以为只有我在逃,
其实也有别人在逃。
最近才觉悟的,哈真好笑
-_-|||
也有过客逃到我视线外,
真的不见了。
不然就莫名奇妙,
我!变成陌生人。

其实我才是过客,
因为好像只有我还没上岸。
形式上有时好像上了岸,
但我的灵魂还在飘飘飘....
(我在讲什么...)



...我想我是忘了我以前是怎么爱的
应该是在找这个


这个星期天,搞什么忧郁?
