Bohemia

To take the world as one finds it, the bad with the good, making the best of the present moment,
To laugh at Fortune alike whether she be generous or unkind,
To spend freely when one has money, and to hope gaily when one has none,
To fleet the time carelessly, living for love and art,
This is the temper and spirit of the modern Bohemian in her outward and visible aspect.
It is a light and graceful philosophy, but it is the Gospel of the Moment,
This exoteric phase of the Bohemian religion,
And if, in some noble natures, it rises to a bold simplicity and naturalness, it may also lend its butterfly precepts to some very pretty vices
and lovable faults,
For in Bohemia one may find almost every sin save
that of Hypocrisy.
Her faults are more commonly those of
self-indulgence, thoughtlessness, vanity and procrastination,
And these usually go hand-in-hand with generosity, love and charity.
For it is not enough to be one’s self in Bohemia, one must allow others to be themselves, as well.
What, then, is it that makes this mystical empire of Bohemia unique?
And what is the charm of its mental fairyland?
It is this: there are no roads in all Bohemia!
One must choose and find one’s own path,
Be one’s own self,
Live one’s own life.

If We Never Meet Again

If we never meet again
I will remember your deep eyes
I will remember the quick rhythm of your heartbeats
I will remember your messy hair
I will remember your crooked smile

If we never meet again
I will remember the moment our skins touched
The moment our souls become one
The moment our lives connected
The moment our hearts bonded

If we never meet again
I will remember the warm feelings
I will remember the serene journey
I will remember the crazy giggles
All together with the sense of happiness

If we never meet again
I will remember how my body soften when you hug me
How beautiful I feel when you look at me
How my inside rumbles when you kiss me
I will remember how you complete me

If we never meet again
Remember
I hope you too will remember
Moments we shared together
If we never meet again
