Keep swimming in the illusion of infatuation
Wave my arms to the sweetest image of you
Drink your soul
Until your facinating scent envelopes my senses
A wisp of dream lingers
Even when my mind is on the brink of realisation
All of you
Is a dangerous lure to my weakness
Blink your eyes
When the next second suddenly arrives
Black and white
Suck all the colour from my mind
To plant a flowering garden of unruly laughter
On my face
To stream tears of happiness
On my cheek
Tell a joke
Like a hook
Pierce my heart
Like a dart
Lure me to the darkness of the night
Breathe in my perfume
Make my head swing
Let the music amuse my soul
Let the magic allure my heart
Drenches it with my infatuation
Soaks it with my imagination
Fills it with the scent of you
Immerses it in the dream that will never end
Even when I realize
You are the unattainable prince of darkness

Love is...
Perhaps love is as tender as the felt blanket that is filled with the picture of HelloKitty. Maybe love is as tough as the beef that mum cooked for five hours. Who knows what love will do around the corner? It may turn into a flower on the side of the road. It may turn into a bunch of daisy beside the hospital bed. It may turn into rain on a thristy land.
Love can certainly turn into a smile, a touch, or even an explaination of which key opens which door on the key chain. It can be a joke that's been told in a noodle shop about an exploding turnip cake. It can be a back glance in the swimming pool. It can be cooking for your sister who is too tired to do anything after a hard day's work.
Love can be silently listening to a boring story. Love can be singing when someone is sad. Love can be read like a poem, but it can not be read like a newspaper because it does not require pages of detail explanations. It may be simple sometimes, but it may also be too complicated so no one understands.
Love can be pushing a pram when someone else is too tired. The hardest way to love is to calm a baby down when its crying for no reason. Dying for your country comes in on the close second. Love, sadly, can also be dying with the one you love. Love can be reading the notebook to your loved ones when they can no longer remember their past. Love can be eating a candle-lit dinner with a stranger who knows when to talk or when to listen. Love can be tucked away nicely in an old leather-bound book, stuck on the school project, inside a small scrapbook, in a thick police file, or on a hand-made card. It can be a tear that's falling from a loving mother or it can be a strong hand of a loving father. It can also be the friendship that does not fade throughout the years. When your hair is of a different colour, when you can't see properly and start to admit to it, when your feet will no longer carry you across the garden easily, and when you feel young inside but look remarkably old outside, maybe you will know the true shape of love, but then again, you may not.
I hope you find love because it may be in a pen, in a letter, in a book, in a newspaper, in a cup of tea, on a chair, on top of the television, inside a fishing bowl, outside the window, or on your hand. It can be anywhere, anything, anyone. I hope you find it.

On Reading
Just in case you forget about how to read a book. These are some suggestions from Dr. Lin Yutang:
From on books and reading:
One should read classics in winter, because then one's mind is more concentrated; read history in summer, because one has more time; read the ancient philosphers in autumn, because they have such charming ideas; and read the collected works of later authors in spring, because then Nature is coming back to life.
A man who knows how to read finds everthing becomes a book wherever he goes: hills and waters are also books, and so are chess and wine, and so are the moon and flowers. A good traveller finds that everything becomes a landscape wherever he goes: books and history are landscapes, and so are wine and poetry, and so are the moon and the flowers.
As for reading and travel, I do not think even twice or five times the period suggested (ten years) would be enough to satisfy my desires. To do so one would have to live three hundred years, as Huang Chiuyen says.
I shall read more of his books and quote more when I find more wise words.

More quotes On Flowers and Women
Beautiful women are better than flowers because they understand human language, and flowers are better than beautiful women because they give off fragrance; but if one cannot have both at the same time, he should forsake the fragrant ones and take the talking ones.
In putting flowers in liver-coloured vases, one should arrange them so that the size and height of the vase match with those of the flowers, while the shade and depth of its colour should contrast with them.

Quotes from Importance of Living by Dr. Lin Yutang
I am sure that Dr. Lin Yutang will mind that I quoted him, but since he is long dead, I will quote some of his wise words from his cool book.
The plum flower makes a man feel high-minded, the orchid makes a man feel secluded, the chrysanthemum makes a man simple-hearted, the lotus makes a man contented, the spring haitang makes a man passionate, the peony makes a man chivalrous, the bamboo makes a man graceful, the pine tree makes a man feel like a recluse, the wutung makes a man clean-hearted, and the willow makes a man sentimental.
If a beauty should have the face of a flower, the voice of a bird, the soul of the moon, the expression of a willow, the charm of an autumn lake, bones of jade and skin of snow, and a heart of poetry, I should be perfectly satisfied.
Talented men who are at the same time handsome, and beautiful ladies who at the same time can write, can never live a long life. This is not only because the gods are jealous of them, but because this type of person is not only the treasure of one generation, but the treasure of all ages, so that the Creator doesn't want to leave them in this world too long, for fear of sacrilege.
