R.U.T.A (R U That Annoying?)

Rarely will one meet a Lithuanian,

Suicides limit their population

So I must be your destiny,

Ruti would told me.

Recalling from my neck-controlled head,

Events shared with my Eastern bloc mate,

Such as the long tunnels in Cu Chi,

Makes me laugh out loud (lol) randomly.

Understanding her form gets progressively harder,

If I’m wrong I may get shot like a dirty beggar,

And buried in a London cemetery

She’s a good Catholic, but unlike the Virgin Mary.

Usually she likes walking in a dress and blue sandals,

Run naked for marketing and cause scandals,

Plant rice in muddy fields,

Or show off her Power Point skills.

To continue, she likes beer without ice,

Tells me not to cross lines of vice

She dislikes shopping for fun,

Prefers the jungles for a jog or run.

Typically she has a food order curse,

Even if she orders Amok and banana shake first,

Her Youth Group experience can’t save her from it,

In annoyance, she always kicks me with her feet.

A few times she tried to explain me,

Crazy man as I may be

She’s also crazy, you may agree,

If you saw her on a Mongolian MTV.

Anyways she is warm and sweet,

When I was sad she showed me her bridge

While friends passed under, we hid above,

Discuss what marriage is and about love.

Sometimes she will borrow my weapon,

Making holes is her reason

I know it sounds very wrong,

But so is coffee made black and strong.

So my Lithuanian Strawberry Swing,

I know not what you will bring

(Not another movie clip of Lithuania, please)

Hope our relationship will not freeze.

Someday

Men know not the future

Maybe an adventure

Maybe a disaster

Tears or laughter

Often we meet a person

Seems to be without reason

Can’t see ahead

Will the relationship last or fade?

Now we have met

But I don’t know yet

What role you’ll play

Too hard to say

I wish someday

That what I pray

For us to share a reality

Will be an eventuality

Khmer girl or not

I’ll give it all I’ve got

That’s all I can do

Try to stay true

A new hope, a seed

With Love to feed

May it grow up well

Only time will tell

 Although we haven’t met in a while

You still make me smile

Simple exchanges of words each day

Seems to go a long way

Like opening a window to a garden

A respite for the heavy laden

Your words are an escape

From reality’s landscape

I’m amazed at how friendship lost

Something that was

Is suddenly reborn

Inspired to go on

Common excuses aside

I hope that we just might

Make up for lost time

Not nickel and dime

It will be hard

As we are worlds apart

Time may not be ample

But nothing worthwhile is simple

Always remember, friend

Relax every now and then

Nobody pays THAT well

Take a breather from Work Hell

Though I don’t know you much

Likes, dislikes and such

You seem like a fine lady

So I won’t be in jeopardy (ha ha)

Every day I’ll pray

You’ll find your way

That when things get iffy

GOD will be there in a jiffy

Eventually, when we meet

Hope that it will be sweet

That it won’t be dull

(And that I won’t be a juvenile) J

Leaves on a stream

We are but leaves, all of us
Floating along the river called Life
Where we float, no one knows
We come and we go

Life blew me here one day
This part of the river
I came to rest along its banks
For a brief period of time

It was all foreign to me
Excited and nervous
I bumped into other leaves
Our lives touched

We had fun while it lasted
Ups and downs
We turned each other around
Smiles and frowns

But alas my dears
The sun has set upon my journey
And the winds of destiny is blowing again
The waters move to push me on

I have to go
And so shed a tear
But the sorrow pouring down my cheeks
Cannot push back time

And so I float on
Once again to parts unknown
I wish to stay
But I have to flow

My dears, I shall remember
Our initial differences
Our eventual struggles
Our resulting friendship

There will be now
41 more marks on my heart
41 more thoughts in my head
41 more names in my prayers

I know not the future
If I will ever stop here again
If our paths will cross again
If our eyes will meet again

But I hope you will be
Everything you’re destined for
Let not our brief walk together
Be in vain

A Jco Day

A girl abandoned me today

In a very strange way

She snuck around the desks

While I was marking my tests

How could I have known?

She said she was shy

So she didn’t stop by

She saw I was busy

But it would have been easy

To call me on the phone

She walked up and down

Making many a round

Why not a quick hello

Were her guts Jell-O?

Was she that meek?

She was kind enough

To buy some stuff

Donuts for dear old me

But in a fit of mystery

She ate it all real quick!

Now I sit and imagine

About what might have been

Coffee and donuts

Between two office nuts

It would have been grand!

The lesson of the day?

Don’t stay away

Better to take a chance

Than run from the dance

Stick to the plan!

This is a funny story of how an office colleague bought some doughnuts for me, but couldn't get my attention as I was busy marking my hw. So she didnt meet me and ate all the food.
