Baby it's me,
Believe me you can dance
Truly yours
old monk-
Old monk is good. It helps
you get over break-up,
frustations and if consumed
frequently, even your life.-
Monk knows that,
the ultimate source of
happiness is our
mental attitude.
They are very simple.
"NO MORE, NO LESS".-
about the dark-brown
concoction in a fat glass bottle,
i don't harbor many memories.
except that it was what i poured
into plastic cups on a nippy
November evening, having failed
a semester paper, with a guy
who became friend for life.
and that I remembered it
again when I met her
honey-colored eyes,
the color of Old Monk
in our pegs of three-fouth Cola,
losing myself in the quicksand
of love and never to be reciprocated,
with the acerbic hangover
claiming my heart.
i don't harbor much
memories of the rum:
except that I lived both
eternity and evanescence
in its surreal poison.-
Dear Old Monk,
When every friend became
tired of being a listener
to my rants, you kept me going.-
For me, she was the Old Monk,
That got me high,
For her, I was just a Monk.
That made me shy.-
