my fairy tale.

Picking you from amongst the shelves,

You stood out. subtly special, spotting a

Pink cover with purple glitter- I knew you were

Unlike the rest- a read with a twist to the

Usual fairy tale love story.

You drew me in with

The introduction, and sold I was three pages down

From the cover. Drawn into the plot

Emotionally, I was attracted to the gorgeous Navi- the

Other worldly charm of Sumory Jun Island.

You spoke of her many achievements, both

As an individual and as a leader. Of her

Immaculate beauty- almost divine- short

Of immortality only through her

Imperfections (through which make her perfect).

Dazzled I was, and enchanted I became with

Each page I flipped, I wanted to know

More about her. And I did, as I held you

In my hand, alone just you and

I. And so it was, until seven in the evening.

But as with all fantasies, they come

To an end. And I was found lost and wanting

To start from the top again, though

It would never be the same as

It was before.

my soulmate.

The love we share

is a perfect combination

of companionship and passion.

We've been together

a long time now.

We've laughed and cried

and seen each other through

our best and worst

and everything in between.

We have a history together,

full of shared memories

that keep us close.

You are so much

a part of me

and a part of my happiness,

that it's impossible to imagine

what life would have been like

without you.

untitled.

Time separates us momentarily

But still I’ve lost you most definitely

As a girlfriend though I can’t complain

For I’ve still got you as a friend to keep me sane.

In times of sadness and hurt I ponder

If what I’m going through will make me stronger.

Then reading the newspapers I soon realize

There are others out there- hearts cold as ice.

My story’s not that of gruesome homicide

Nor eternal separation through suicide.

But a story of life’s journey with hardship and sorrow

With love and joy prevailing tomorrow.

untitled.

A myriad of emotions tumultuous and erupting,

The weather in sympathy- a thunderstorm brewing.

No amount of words can ever provide

Me enough comfort to make these feelings subside.

Lest your radiant smile and loving eyes

Telling me you love me, and you’ll always be there.

chances.

Couples strolling through the beach hand in hand,

Embossing their footprints in the sand.

A mark of their unity and a celebration of their love,

A figment in their memory and a moment in the earth.

Waves of a cosine graph renew the seashore,

The condition of the sand pristine once more.

The past now erased, lest the Gods who know,

And a new day begins, with new chances that sow.

Day by day new chances are given

To those who are ever so willing to learn

To turn over a new leaf and be a better person

To make and change, and bring peace, happiness, and love.

realisation.

Four concrete slabs erected vertically

Bombard fond memories at my head inexorably

Bringing me forward and back, I travel through time

Reliving those sweet weekends with you- when you were mine.

We studied and played, and watched movies together,

But tired out as we always were,

Cuddled up and closing our eyes,

Moved off to a world where it was only you and I.

Entangled in a fantastical loving slumber,

I always wished we could settle there forever.

Then opening my eyes and watching you beside me,

I realized we could make it reality.

So, shall we?

my heart.

Every time I look at you,

A rapid rush occurs from within me.

My heart plays the beat of a fast catchy love song,

And my feet feel so light they helplessly dance along.

Hypnotized by this melody, I do all I can within my might.

All this I perform involuntary yet more than willingly

With a hope to see your bright beaming smile,

So you can be happy and with me,

Make merry, forever.

i love you.

In my heart is left a void deep within- unhidden,

Leaving tell-tale signs of its imperfection,

Obtuse is its gravity, profuse is its bleeding.

Venting its frustration with each beat it pumps

Ebony flows of boiling acid

Yearning to contaminate and devour perfection

Only until the ravine was filled-

Until you came, until now, I never lived, I never loved.

stars.

You are a star,
Shining in the darkness.
You are a star,
Providing me hope in my gloom, and when shadows are cast down on me.

So shine me out of the night,
Bring me out to the light.
Please never leave me alone in the cold and the dark winter night,
In the frost of the night.

Winds may blow
And storms may throw
Everything inside and out.

And seas may roar
Waves may soar
Drown us, take us all down.

But you give me hope,
You show me the way.
You tell me to hold on ‘cause morning is just at a breath's length away.
Hold on to life...and wait.

You shine me out of the night,
You bring me out to the light.
You never leave me alone in the cold and the dark winter night,
In the frost of the night.

Come dawn, you will be gone.
Only to come back in the night,
Burning my will to fight
As you sing me your song.

You shone me out of the night,
You brought me out to the light.
You never left me alone in the cold and the dark winter night,
In the frost of the night.

Hold on.
Move on.
Go on, G’on, Gon.
All this will pass...

our escape.

Watch the birds fly high and free,
Hear them sing their melody.

Smell the air surrounding – fresh.
Feel the Sun caress your flesh.

Look far out into the horizon.
See a sparkle in the ocean.

Feel not the guilt that comes your way.
It’s but an escape – this will not stay.

Soon all will be gone.
Our lives must move on.

Now it’s all up to fate.
‘Twas but an escape.

swimming.

Well, I know it's hard,
But I’ll say it once more…
Move on my girl,
Come, swim to the shore

Before you drown,
Before you go,
And leave me here
Alone and so…

Alive and yet dead
Walking, rather limping,
I feel not my legs
Not touch, not love…

No emotions, not a feeling,
Just numb -just there.

a painful battle.

Assembled as one, we await her command.
To move forward –the time has come.
We faced this clash eight seasons ago.
With my pawns, we put on a star-studded show
And won the war,
Defeated the enemy –though barely.
Retreated, recovered, they’ve now reacted.
Responding with rage, awaiting their resplendent glory,
They race towards our rampart, reducing rock to rubble.
I can but predict where from they’ll attack
And I know but how I should react.
Clueless and confused I pick each option
But indifferent and nonchalant, I do so without caution.
Thousands of creatures form rows and columns
Disfigured, scarred faces –they look foreign.
Their aura of evil I could feel.
Thorns and spikes designed to kill.
They confuse you tell no right from wrong.
West to East and North to South,
They fill.
My spaces filled are not one but none.
I’m outnumbered now, there’s not a chance.
Darkness reigns for it has won.
My white sheet’s stained red with slashes
Coupled together leaving holes.
I’ve failed this battle but yet I hear cries
Of joy and success…
I bleed to death.

as life goes on...

As forests go and storm clouds grow,
Green turns brown and blue turns grey.
Rainbows fade away, nothing's left- only hay.
Light receeds and darkness reigns.


Then there's love. (if only.)

reminisces.

When I think of the colour brown,
And see that people never frown,
That’s when I miss you most.

We held back tears with all our might,
But in the end we lost the fight.
The time had come and you had to go.
All I can say now is ‘I miss you so’.

When I find myself in a court bouncing a ball,
And reading the letters, written with love and all,
That’s when I miss you most.

Everything happened just so fast.
I can’t quite remember if we did trust
Each other at all. But looking back,
I’m happy you found him, amongst the pack.

When I work out at the gym,
And think of the times you helped me and him,
That’s when I miss you most.

You’re here and there- you’re everywhere.
And now you’ve gone away.
With all my heart I truly pray
That you’ll be here to stay.

When I walk past Paragon,
And I think of the Christmas carols- gone,
That’s when I miss you most.

The word had rarely past
By my street- it was like a fast.
Malnourished and empty,
I died so slowly.

These memories- painful they all may be,
But I hold them dear and close to me.
You’ve torn and ripped my heart apart.
But me and them, we’ll never part.

the true meaning of christmas.

Christmas is a time in which we share
Our faith, and love, and hope, and care.
I believe each person has true goodness.
Hiding within, like a fruit- its sweetness.

The skin of an apple, enveloped in pesticide,
Shiny, yes. But bitter, like fried
Chicken overdone in rancid oil.
So much for looks, they’re just made to spoil.

Its curves, shape, colour, and shine.
We get so bought into it, we spend a dime.
Then touch it no more, we do not care
Even if the apple rots, we'll just get a pear.

But like the worm, we have to dig
Deep within to discover the fig.
And only then will we start to treasure
Every person in our life- not pain, but pleasure.

Sadly, in this world so torn,
We need this time so special and born
By a Saviour of ours, through his mercies bring
Happiness, and friendship. True suffering.

These are the moments which we dearly need,
Especially since we rarely feed
Our hunger for love, and forgiveness and peace.
Christmas please stay. With you, we’re at ease.

there for you.

When you’re hurt and sad,
That nobody cared,
Fret not.
I will be there.

When times get rough,
And feelings are low,
Fret not.
I will be there.

But when you’re happy and smiling,
And the sun is brightly shining,
Please.
Do remember me.

Because I live for you,
To see you through
The end where there will be
Our happy ending: when we can fly free.

Through the thick and through the thin,
All I ask is one simple thing:
Smile like you usually do- one which is true.
And I will always be happy for you.

when there was love.

I felt a sharp pain from deep within.
It was you who stabbed that blade deep in.
Sadly, I couldn’t find the words to say,
How much I love you, each and every day.

I never had the chance to- it was simply wrong.
So I remained in a corner, alone and forlorn.
But you had the code to the lock and chain,
Including the power to release, or detain.

In the bitter cold, I shivered in fear
That others would know from what they see or hear.
For this forbidden love I have for you,
Cannot go beyond us two.

Fortunately or not, my worry is past,
Since this love has gone, and no longer lasts.
It was born through me, and has now gone.
And together we’ll leave as dust, from bone.
