good night and good luck

at dusk, i went to the lion's den, had my lesson with Lady Ann, brandishing clubs till my fingers blister, had dinner at the lagoon with the baroNess and went to meet the merry three.

and whilst zipping across the land on our magik car-pet, they told me that they're parting ways with Maid Maryjane, again. and under the twinkling stars and glistening moonlight by the river where we finally rested, as we regale each other with tid-bits from our semi-charmed lives i realised how much i have missed her.
the calm she brought on many an angsty moment, the laughs she coaxed when i was but a second away from tears, the friends she 'pied-piper hamelin'ed my way with her sweet scent. the love. i miss her. and yesterday when she was but an arm's reach away, saying her byes to the boys, it took all my will to resist one last hug, one last kiss with my sweet mis(t).
she who saw me through my wild days in academia and my mad existence in tralala-land. my faithful duenna on my travels, near and far. she basked in my summer loves, she braved my winter's cold. through it all she was there,like a nice glass of red after a long day at work.
i miss how she makes life so much more bearable. the quarrels don't leave you so drained, the betrayals so painful, the nasty, back-biting so perturbing. her warm haze, a gentle embrace that keeps all the evil at bay. but alas, i had to be on my way.
Well thank you, milady. for everytime and everyone; the good, the bad, the ugly, the lost, the found, the forever, the fleeting,the old, the young, the retreats, the reunions, the beginnings, the end.

i miss you MJ.
