I am a Courtesan
Thank You for curing me of this ridiculous obsession with Love...Not?
The weekend spent at Robertson Quay Hotel served as a stark reminder and contrast to that of Valentine's 2003. I chanced upon on a realisation last night that I really don't give a fuck anymore. The senseless days shopping for boxers and spending Valentine's Day 2 months from the date are over. The 2 days of pure debauchery, honest sharing, bonding love and quiet comfort proved that beyond measure. While licking on my Pink Lemonade lollipop during lunch today at Mhd Sultan, I realised I was happy, even if it was for a day, so excuse me while I toast my vodka to many more to come my way.
Yes the show must go on
Bruised, blemished wrists soothed with quiet balm,
I opened myself with a quiver,
shaking loose my fear-filled cumulation,
semi-sobered by orange sleeves.
Once, twice, looming darkness whirled,
cupped between your steady palms,
pupils darting, consumed by lids,
I breathed in weary silence.
A nickel orb uncovered hidden caves
as wretched truisms sober
my opium-filled head,
your smile danced on my burdened lips.
Guarded intensity washed waves,
seeping into my pores,
spilling over your indulgence - my sin.
Inside my heart is breaking,
my make-up may be flaking
but my smile still stays on
No doubt it was beautiful, it still is.
I hope my little quiet prayer keeps myself checked.
