All Art, like all Love, has its roots in Heartache.
Solitude
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
I fell in love with you the second I layed eyes on you, it had nothing to do with the way you looked, there was something in your eyes, then I found out what was in your heart.

Hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
The world will not end when God grants it.
It will end when the last heart is broken

For ZhengRui
The Moth and the Candle
The long lithe candle stood alone
By the table side
A moth flew by and was sorry
For her lonely plight
He fluttered closer to the candle
Enchanted by her slender frame
And as he watched he fell in love
With her dancing flame
Closer and closer the moth flew
Even though his velvet wings were singed
Nevertheless, he persevered
And to the candle sing'
'Keep away', though the candle cried
'Come no closer should you try,
For this flame will burn your wings
And you will surely die.'
But the moth was too enraptured
To heed her advice
And to ease his infatuation
He was prepared to pay the price
And the candle watched in horror as
The poor moth's wings burned
Another victim to the altar of love
A lesson some would never learn
Martyrs are sown, not madeWong Wen Pu06.12.07
