hearts are rivers.

"I also imagine how it is possible to hate somebody
for so long that something gives way inside you

like a dam, and you may end up threatening the life
of this person, or something else like resignation

takes over, and suddenly you never dreamt that you
could possess the desire to forgive, even love."

- Cyril Wong, "Lightness, even Love", from Unmarked Treasures.

"Some people do not need homes.
for them, any room or floor
will do. They live in travel,
their hearts are rivers."

- Cyril Wong, "People are Looking for Homes", from Unmarked Treasures.


We should all write.
If not poetry, diaries.
If not to improve our English, to better convey what the heart feels and what the mind sees.
To write, is to live.

would comments consider as writing?

many missed a place where writings
lay but not the author. many writings are read on the surface, not delving in deeper, because of a lazy reader.

i want to write to live, yet is there air for me to?
