Laid back Sunday, check. Burrow underneath the covers, check. Stay in bed for the rest of the day, check. Sound of the rain in the background, check.
Read countless sonnets written by THE great Pablo Neruda. perfect.

Sonnet XVII
I don’t love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as certain dark things are loved,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom and carries
hidden within itself the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I don’t know any other way of loving
but this, in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.
-Pablo Neruda, Cien Sonetos de Amor (100 Love Sonnets 1960)
caffeinated sonnets 
a perfect read in an awesome setting…XD…
🙂 One of those very rare moments when things fall into place.
Thanks for dropping by.
My pleasure. Thanks for following too. I did not expect someone to hear me out there (hahahah as if I dunno the dynamics of blogging). Appreciate it. Keep posting! 🙂
Haha. Well, I am very new at this and it’s a nice surprise to receive comments from people who actually take time to read my random ramblings 🙂
Keep in touch?
Sure thing. And it’s good to know that you know people (even virtually) share the same plight as yours. That would make you realize you are not that queer as most people want you to feel..hahaha! Any book you could recommend? Be crashing the bookstore again maybe this eve…
Hmm, depends on the usual genre that you read. I am currently reading Anne Rice’s Angel Time. Liking it so far 🙂 Anything J Winterson is great.
Happy book hunting *envy*
Check out 100 Love Sonnets, you’ll fall in love with it 🙂
