The Day We First Met!

The spring blossoms, 

These condensed matters of existence,
Appearing in a moment as if out of nothingness,
Yet, a universal effort shines through each one of them,  

The spring blossoms, 

These condensed matters of existence, 

The spring blossoms, 

The constant contradicors of nothingness!

Destiny is often merciless!
Often, because there was that one day that contradicted the rhythm of vengeance, violence, and void!

Destiny is often merciless!

Often, because there was that one day in May that the chilled room with dim lighting got warm,
for I found your heavenly eyes!
I remember that day, for destiny is often merciless, 

And the day we first met broke the rhythm of destiny!

*For Brian on the day we first met!

Many Days!

Many days have past since we sat on the comfy brown sofa in the corner of our living room, 

Many days since you tried to show me how great a painter Courbet is, 

Many days since I thought of Courbet as boring, 

Many days since I enjoyed colorful paintings, 

Many days since we last celebrated our birthdays together, 

Many days since the last spring we hold hands! 

Many days have past since we last celebrated May Day together!

It is another May Day!  

I miss you, mom and Mere!

Happy May Day from Austin!

*To all of you Happy May Day! Happy International Workers' Day! & To my extraordinary parents Happy Anniversary!
