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.
