The use of the Pentagram, a five-pointed star in the modern day world is similar to the use of the cross by the Christians and Star of David by Jews. Whereas Christians use the pentagram to describe the five wounds of Jesus, or maybe the five senses or five joys of Mary, in European occultism, it is regarded as a magical symbol. In Wu Xing, it is believed the five sides are similar to the five basic elements of existence,which are: Fire (火 huǒ), Earth (土 tǔ), Metal (金 jīn), Water (水 shuǐ), and Wood (木 mù).

Closer to you.


I like how the breeze feels today. The way it softly caresses my cheeks. Its not moist, not too dry, just how I like it. I think its playing with my hair, just the way you do.
We're miles apart, but today I feel closer to you. Kind of schizophrenic, eh?
No one to share the blanket with is a little awkward though, for obvious reasons. But its okay, the melody you composed two days back is still thrumming in my head. It makes my insides swing to and fro, just as they did 50 hours back when you sang it to me in that deep baritone. Bliss. And oh, sorry for counting the hours since you've been away. Its not a typically me habit, I know.
I like the mint cushions a little today. I thought they were pretty ugly when you got them but I guess no head resting on them adds to the appeal. You know what I mean, no?
The night is still young, and the clouds are thin. Clear night sky, just as we love it. Just that there isn't that insomniac to talk it through tonight.
When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you are not here, I can't go to sleep.

Praise God for these two insomnias.
And the difference between them.
~Rumi
There are in numerous patches of colors revolving in my brain after the weed. When I think of you, the patch incessantly changes to red. How not surprising.
I feel light-headed but insanely beautiful. If you'd tell me the stars shined for me today, I would believe you.

I just came back home with swollen eyes after seeing off this really special friend who went to some other city for studies.

I don't know if I can relate anymore than this to your post :)

Sometimes I feel you post just for me to smile (like the previous post of yours:) ) and sometimes your text is something that comes the closest to the voices in my mind.. in my heart:)

The weeding always causes us to see red, that's the whole fun about it. And yes, not surprising at all.

You are a closet romantic :P One day you'll come out and confess it even though your words already undress it ~ hey that sounds like a cool kinda quote? ©2011FinnyFrases ;))

I was swept away with the sheer, breezy fabric in the image and the brilliant *beauty* of your flawless flowing words! Fantabulous once more! Muahh! :)

P.S. ~ Love Rumi too and also Gibran!

Express said...

Most of this post had me awwing and blushing at myself :P

@ Finny,
FinnyFrases sounds like the awesomest thing you could start , eh ? When you're totally jaded and tired of your job, do start business there ;)
AND, I guess I'm not a romantic at all. Yes, a closet romantic maybe. Still can't absorb being called one though. My friends would shudder at me being called one. :D
You are the kindest, sweetest, loveliest! I mean it.
LOTS of love.
