      I once lived in a yellow little house. Each morning, birds convened and sang at my bedroom window. The gate was indigo and inside the garden all kinds of flowers rose to kiss the sunny walls. The yellow nest was filled with cherished books, colourful

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’

      A Rose

      ROSES WERE RED

      And now they are orange,

      I am not sure if that’s a colour

      Or if it’s a fruit,

      But I am sure that I am thinking about you,

      From the top of my head down to my toes,

      I know that the unknown fruit is tomatoes,

      Girl don’t be scared, I am no longer the Grinch,

      I’ve actually turned good,

      Partially for you, mostly for your fragrance of flowers,

      Giving me hope for tomorrow and beyond.

      The same one you see when looking at a mirror,

      Beauty and the Beast! Darn that’s definitely us,

      It is said that home is where the heart is

      So don’t worry for I’ll be there soon,

      Take
