As a precocious Valentine Gift to M and A

( just like N and P in the old days of ECE)





















An Oxford street winter evening

walking alone
Among all that crowd

feeling inside
A thousand-year-old witch


Afraid of frightening the sparrows

Afraid of breaking the spell

You do not dare
Turning your head, looking behind

***

Two of your lovely friends

Dawn sparrows,
murmuring all the way,
following you

Profused of it,
feeling whole the street brighter by their radiation

You want the world to stop forever

With their hands just so clipped together

An impossible desire ...

You can just wish
Maybe your spell works again
Just like the last time you wished so ...

Puff the spell

Now you can turn around your head ...

Starting the diary of a new Londoner

Hi :)
This is my first post on this new weblog -my english weblog. It has been a long time since I decided to make a new weblog, but this time, an english one; And now, after all, I did it :)
First of all, I think that I should explain the title of my blog : "Mind the Gap"
This phrase might be so familiar to every londoner. In tube(underground) stations, you hear it thousands of times : "please mind the gap between the train and the platform" and sometimes just "mind the gap". From the first time heared it, I thought it could be a very good title for a play and maybe I would write that sometime.
I think it's also a really meaningful phrase in humane relationships :
although sometimes invisible, but always there is a real gap between every two person, even between the best friends or lovers or ... . I don't mention it as a bad or painful thing; No, it's essential and inevitable and you always have to remind it to yourself and mind it ... What do you think?
