you are better off
or rather better off
cos being better off
makes it better off

you should just fuck off
cos we want you to fuck off
they want you to fuck off
the world around wants you to fuck off

peace

The future will be left unseen...

.... ok, only till Sunday.

POSTED BY: NUMBER <3

Here's the obligatory BOO! to start out the post.

Anyway, for those of you who don't know that I started a REAL job 2 weeks ago, here's the news. hee hee... Goodbye unemployment! However, I am terribly sorry that I can only plan my life a week at a time as I am working shifts at a restaurant and my shit-ass schedule only comes out on Sunday. Weekends are a bitch cos the f&b / service industry has to be ticking to serve the mass consumers - like yourselves.

I miss sessions too much already! I wanna come meet the digits, but alas... the timeline till then appears like a chocking fog.

Le Sigh~

MEETING~!

okie, it's been TOO long since we've met and i miss sessions~!

anyways, December 2005's session will be held at Number 5's place on the 24th of December 2005 instead of 31st of December BECAUSE it is New Year's Eve and i am expecting people to have plans for that day and i dun wana hold u guys back...

so please make yourselves free... it's the last session for the year~!!! come for session kkz?!

and the two proses that i will be doin are as below...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Protecting myself

and just like in all tragic fairy tales by shakespeare, i will die...
with or without my lover beside me...
and my tomb shall contain only wat i once held dear... my love for u...
and even in the fire that they would burn my body by, my love will live strong...
i will watch over u from heaven and protect u from danger...

give u wings to fly...
give u strength to carry on...
give u faith to love...
give u reason to be who u really are...

i love u...
i realize now, finally, that i really do...

i might have promised before never to lie...
but for this one mistake, i have to lie...
to protect me, to protect u...
take care...

AND

The corpse~

mystified by all the question tt plague my mind..
and suddenly the inner reccesses of my mind start to twirl about with no intention of ending anytime soon..
i fall all the time but still i get up despite the hurt and continue to move along with all those rollar coaster thoughts..

mind wanting to let go but heart asking to stay and fight on, hang on, push on..
and at the end of it, the heart beat dies off from all the twirling..
the mind spins out of place in its axle and everything stops abruptly..

no time to save the thoughts tt i once held dear..
no time to save the memories that was once created..
no time to recapture the laughter..

no time to save anything anymore..
the mind has ceased to function..
the heart has ceased to beat..

nothing's left but a corpse that once gave for all she was worth..
nothing's left but a corpse who fought to make happy the one she loves..
nothing's left but a cold hard corpse..
no smile, no life, no tears..
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That's all for now guys~!
seeya guys, 24th December 2005~!

YESH~!

Hey guys, I messaged Numero Uno today to say I can't make it on Saturday, but depending on what time I'm jamming I might be able to make it :) It's been too long people.

this ritual
is now become
touch and go

I haven't been writing alot, but most what I write has (broad) religious themes.

POSTED BY: NUMBER 6

Heya all, my first post here. Something simple.

Hero

A word so commonly used;yet misunderstood
He who does something for the benefit of good.
A cape, maybe a mask is a good way to start
But what makes a hero if not his heart?

And I thought we are suppose to be by numbers and no name calling?

This is suppose to be a place where people are not suppose to get intimidated to strip and be who they really are.

Sometimes we forget to let people be...

Greetings, you cheebyes.

Here's the poem I read last Saturday, 25th September 2005.

The predictable
Your battle plans - I've loathe them, but I know them,
For you've told them to me, clear, previously.
You're a great warrior, like Achilles,
Why can't I bring you down?
Why can't I reach your heels and attack them?

And I'll post the next one soon, lah!

Meeting~

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

With this chant, we'd leave our worldly beings and facades out of the circle and see each other at our rawest state.

I looked over the hills, from where comes forth my help
And high above the purple sky; I see a rainbow flying high
And for all the greatness, I submit to share
The gift of words, the unexpected wave

And we commune. Regardless of Race, Language, Religion or Sexual Orientation.

--------------------------------

I miss you guys! When are we meeting next?

Oh, by the way... Can number 1 please post the closing phrase. I kinda forgot. =)

we are new here~

A group of students from Ngee Ann Poly who take pride in writing poetry, prose and anything arty, got together in the name of the Poetry, and set up an illegal group named somewhat after the Famous show, "Dead Poet's Society", written by Tom Shulman...

previously only owning the life of four individuals, we have now grown to own nine lives now... not a big difference in number but wells, poetry and prose is an acquired art form... many would prefer acting and scripting...

anyone is welcomed to join... only draw back, u HAVE to be serious about your work...
u can sit in for ONE session and then make up your mind if u wana be part of a group that would teach u to reveal and discover yourself a second time round.

sessions are mostly held on the last saturday of the month... we are lookin into making it twice a month soon... SOON...

for now, just as "The Dead Poets was dedicated to "sucking the marrow out of life." ", we too, at Roof Top Society, are tryin to achieve that goal.

for further enquires, u can contact us at rooftopsociety@gmail.com
