Its 2008 and this pretty lil day is here again. May have gotten a little rusty, but i was inspired by two friends of mine to put forth this poem, Entitled: Sweetcakes. A poem as a present for this celebration of a day.

The poem was actually based on a Song. Most of it was supposed to be based on a song, hence saying "May have gotten rusty." Andy Lau's song - Darling (sung for supporting people with cancer way back few years back) is the structure which i tried to use.

So i sat there two nights ago listening to this one song, my mom likes this song too. And decided to convert the chinese words into English lyrics. I did it and looked at the English translation and thought to myself "Fuck am i using this.". Sometimes as a writer, you just get this urge to write anything down, and this poem was like one of those types. I spent at least an 2 hours on this poem, split into periods of two nights. And i quite like this poem.

Like said before, poem was inspired by two friends. Do not wish to mention the names to anyone who today, has passed by this page. R - J. Its been a long time since i talked to someone whos not like me, sitting here with a pen in the hand. They make me envy them. But they always seem to be fighting. Pancakes. Daries. Silence. So i thought why not give this as a gift as well? So the second reason for writing this has been explained. If you're reading this Kid. You know he still cares. You can show this to him if you like. I dont care,

Within this poem theres only one stanza thats in speechmarks. I took the chance to copy almost word for word on my amigo's blog post. Don't be suprised Kid, i had to do some research of my own. To express his feel. It had to be done.

Italics is a symbol of mind speak. Speaking to oneself. Like the very last stanza, i ended each sentence in a "I do, I do". I got these four words from a photo i saw. You like to hurt? I do. I do. Adding to the italics, the last stanza is a two way convo. A question answered by the asker. Or seeker. Or foolish one. Punctuations is simple yet it hides a lot of things, each punctuation is different. Full stop end. Comma carry on. Hope i've done a good job.

Take it as a present for those whos wanders the streets alone on this day. Don't be so down. Life aint that stupid. Although i would like my dearest to too, read this. Another one for you woman. In time. In time.
