here I am playing your songs of love

in the loneliest of the night

you give me warmth.

I can wait forever for that someone

Who believes in me.

Someone who will take me just as I am.

When the world seems to turn around

You make me believe in the power of love.

Your voice is so clear to my ear

That it draws me near.

Now and forever I will take chances

I might be scared but I’ll be willing to learn

So long as your music lives on.

I might be lost in love and I might have to say goodbye

Still I will be thankful be

Each night I wait for the moon.

Why can’t it be full so soon?

I’ll look up to the sky

Wondering when will I fly?

Nights go by and sometimes dark

Not even a star would shed a spark.

I pray for the rain to go

Let the winds carry the cloud with each blow.

Then behind them the moon stared.

A smile is all it took to disappear.

Throughout the night I felt at ease.

Each night I will wait for the moonlight.

By the time it’s full again, that I wouldn’t miss. #

The lotus and moon

In the darkest hour of the night

Two things shine brightest

The lonesome moon glows above

The white lotus in the bog. #

on the west wing of the castle

inside the master's room

lies a sturdy table

with a pink rose in bloom.

a beast watches over the fragile rose

cared for it so much

that it hurts

because he does not hold the sands of time

and as each petal falls

so does his chance.

the chance to tell that he values it so much

even though the rose is untouched.

the rose has its thorns, yes -

but she cannot change things for the beast's sake.

the stone and the glass

as the rose and beast are called.

yet the rose declares she's not!

men seek silence in their lowest times

times when they are burned out from the noise

noise that overpowers the silence

silence - taken for granted, ignored.

ignored by eyes who look but don't see

see the comfort revealed by presence

presence that only few can hardly find

find its value until it is gone.

gone in the moment are coward men

men who get uneasy and resign

resign from clamor and search for peace

peace which only silence can utter.

utter every quiet word you know

know that in their presence you have

When I was younger

My mother would tell me stories each night

About adventures

Of princesses, heroes, and knights.

I loved them so much I got hooked

I want to live in a storybook

Fighting side by side with soldiers

Slaying dragons and monsters.

It is a remarkable ending

If I can marry a king

Live in a palace uphill

Everything seems not so real.

What a wonderful life it would be

To live in a world so free

There’s nothing more to ask for

A life of happy ever after. #

 I dance with happiness and enthusiasm

On stage with light focused on my eyes

I don’t see them, I feel them

I hear their applause and excitement

They call my name.

The music goes on

I hold on to the canvass, swinging back and forth

Flying through the air, landing on my foot.

The music died, lights turned off, chairs empty

I walk down the stairs, silence broken by my footsteps

Put off my mask and make up, my dress and my name.

The real dancer revealed, a scar on the face

Bleeding hands from hanging on the

a kid

running round

a tree

so big with branches

towering the house.

a second past.

the tree began to glow.

a million stars so low

hopping from each twig, each leaf.

the kid leaped.

a firefly was caught

put in a jar

and prisoner at last.

the kid was given his wish

granted at hand.

a firefly living in bliss

freedom its demand.

lights started to dim

a firefly weak of flying

a kid with a smile

turn to grimace.

In this blog, I just want to share with you some of more familiar and often used expressions. 

Did You Know?

1. October baby

When a person is said to be an October baby, it means that she/he was born prematurely; to be exact, she/he was born on her/his eight month. The origin of this expression was based on the meaning of October. October is the 'eight month' in the Ancient Roman calender. In the Ancient Roman, March; or it is called Martius back then, is the beginning of the year. Therefore, Octob

Dear Captain,

I went to visit Grandpa Lee again as I promised last time. He was happy to see me and talked a lot with me. But among all what he had told, he mentioned his grandson now and then. I can see his deep love to his grandchild.

He told me his grandson's name is Joseph Lee. When Joseph was born, Grandpa Lee flew to Sweden to visit him as well as his parents. Joseph came to China when he was three and stayed in China for half a year. Three years later, he visited China again with his parent

Today the 24^th of September 2013, it is my 29^th Birthday. People say that if a person will have full set of 32 teeth, she/he will possess blessing power. I count my teeth by my tongue and it is 31 and one is cavity. Among 31 teeth one is a pseudo crown tooth made up of material to make a China Cup.

            When I was a boy I had unusually large front teeth. They had become my identity. My friends used to tease me calling 'falike' which means having plank like tooth. In the village animals are

I think people everywhere dream about having lots of money. I know I do. I would give anything to make money hand over fist. I would like to earn large amounts of money. You could win a large amount of money everywhere through lotteries. People pay money for tickets with numbers. If your combination of numbers is chosen, you win a huge amount of money – often in the mil-lions. Winning the lottery is a windfall (a large amount of money that is won or received unexpectedly).
A few years ago, my fri

From the ancient Greeks and Romans to current day writers and professors have been debating about happiness. What makes someone happy? In what parts of the world are people the happiest? Why even study happiness? 

The Greek philosopher Aristotle said that a person’s highest happiness comes from the use of his or her intelligence. Religious books such as the Koran and Bible discuss faith as a form of happiness. The British scientist Charles Darwin believed that all species were formed in a way so

THE FORCEFIELDER. The blanket doesn't actually protect you from monsters

THE FORTRESS SLEEPER (

Hi everyone! This month I am going to ask a big favour of all of you! In a few weeks, I am going to be doing a presentation about EnglishClub's Listen To News resource. I am going to show teachers how their learners can use this resource to practise listening, reading, writing, and speaking. During my presentation, I will show some examples of how MyEC members use this resource. We have some very creative learners and teachers, and I can't wait to show off your work! Teachers from around the wor

There are a large number of lists, I would like to change in my hometown. If we go through a scale of preference, the education is at the top of all. As there are two main resources, development of a country depends on, natural resources and human resources. How much the country is enriched with natural resources, but they, without human resources, may not be utilized properly. How can human resources be enhanced? Population should be equipped with quality of technical as well as academic educat

What is interesting in your life?

Do you want to be kind and gentle to everyone around you? Do you love reading? What's kind of books do you want to read?

Have ever you been in an adventure Journey?

The beauty of the heart
is the lasting beauty:
its lips give to drink
of the water of life.
Truly it is the water,
that which pours,
and the one who drinks.
All three become one when
your talisman is shattered.
That oneness you can't know
