The Desert

The desert,
Outcome of the merge between
the scorching sun
the gloomy storms.
Sand storms and illusions
churning within it,
Cruel, merciless, ruthless;
The desert stands strong,
It's determination prolong.
Invaders come in,
Few make it out.
We'll be like the desert,
have a bond so unbreakable,
With no one to come between us,
We'll stand strong like the desert.
Let our storms and torments
Keep us strong, tough, robust.

Regret

One heart broken and another heart torn
A dense impulse bringing superfluos anger
A deep dash of regret slashing my heart
cutting it, slicing it, leaving deep scars
I'm burning,
in the flames of terror,
terror from bringing out her inner monster,
the monster that might engulf her.
I'm burning,
in the flare of anger,
anger from the dark clouds passing her face,
the face that I tried respecting so much.
That letter should never have left those hands that mangle,
soaked in blood from the murder of my conscience.
Streams of tears and sweat will flow,
the stab of regret will have to follow.
Why did that letter have to leave my hands?

[Written when I was 13?]

Lost

Judge me not by my appearance,
Or by what it seems I possess-
Virginal mind, simplicity;
For neither I own, truly.
Chaste and innocent, what I seem to be;
But thoughts within, and hidden emotions,
Obscure sarcasm, thick hypocrisy-
Prove it otherwise, while guilt emerges.
Once blissful, once content,
now sadistic, now depressed;
Once naive, once ignorant,
still naive, still ignorant.
A seeker of lost puerility,
A hunter for lost felicity;
Craving for a sense of belonging,
Aching for youthful lost innocence.

[Written when I was 14]

Creators

God created me, together with the
world, but destitute and lifeless; months of
parasitism, decade of nuture,
infinite dedication, ceaseless care,
unfailing love- set a psyche and soul in
me. I breathed, I existed, now I live.

Love gave me life, help me emerge from the
shell shielding me from peril, enabling
fear to blossom into maturity-
Kinship, friendship, they render love,
sieve off cruel deception and brutal hatred;
God-like, divine, my saviors, creators-
Heart-felt gratitude, inexpressible.

[Written when I was 14]

Angel

The touch of an angel,
Innocent and gentle,
Its wings spread over me,
To protect me from harm.
I'm giving you this angel,
To protect you on my behalf.
I'll suffer in your place,
I'll cry for your pain,
To pay my debts,
For not being there.
Dear Angel,
Please take care of my loved ones,
Let all harm come to me,
Let them be safe,
Let them be unharmed.
Show them I care
During hard times.
I'll take their sins,
I'll bear their punishments,
So Angel, please watch over them...

[Wrote this when I was 13]

The moonlight hummed a minor sonata
Its melody hung on minims and strings
His mind churned in a sea of folly
Riding on the waves of melancholy
Sunk back in weariness his temple throbbed
In a chorus of chaos the voices squawked
Within his chapel there rested no soul
In its tumult there was no whole

An arrow hung loosely on a cupid's bow
He loosened his grip and lost that shot
It fell through the sky and twirled in good sport
Through two hearts it found its spot
It fed on emotions that sprouted and flourished
Across the season of greens and blooms
Brown leaves scattered in icy winds
It rusted and crumbled and lost its hold

Beneath a ceiling cemented and cold
He lay in bed barren and old
A scroll of memories flashed in an instant
He pushed them aside and sighed in surrender
...
In the distant darkness a faint light beckons
His bowed beaten figure fades into dimness

[Written July 30, 2006]

Sniggers, giggles, guffaws and cackles
Lunch hour buzz in noon's dizziness
Conversations sit on midday's languor
A throbbing rumble in my deafening silence
Spins and actions in busy monotony
Flying chopsticks, clear soup splashing
Jostle and hustle in forced conformity
Lip-sealed anger, heart in treachery
A hidden corner gossip free
Between the lines of fantasy
A lonesome shadow a box in hand
Insignificance, stares aplenty
The glare of normalcy begins to surrender
Fluorescent lights fade in harmony
Comes the glow of a heart that races
Against the surges of neural charges-
In a heartthrob daintily waltz
In all excitement poetry halts.

[Written recently in the canteen]

Over and over in a deliberate fashion
My organ throbs in the lewd action
A wave of ecstacy tingles my spine
A moan of delight escapes my lips
Fingers clawed, toes curled
I throw my head back in sheer delectation
Broken free of judicious refrains
In a moment of folly I relent to desire
Bound for ages fighting the urge
Broken free I'm a starved animal
Savagely reaching satiety
Every muscle in rigidity
Heightened to peak intensity
My every senses set ablazed
Almost at once the climax soothes over
My partner in crime slumbers in prostration
I open my eyes in guilt and pleasure
My burning desire exacerbated
I never should have scratched that itch.

Dance with me amongst the fireflies
Twirl me lift me and catch me when I fall
Embrace me amidst the starlight magic
Hold me as I slide into enchanting fantasy
Sing the songs of the fairies of the night
Whisper secrets of the night into my dreams
Swell my heart with petals of your love
Tell me you’ll be there when I close my eyes
For always will I hover amongst your dreams
Tirelessly loving you from dawn till dusk

Don't you ever feel
Like standing under a wilting willow
Its whiskers drooping and unbeckoning
Its bark grave and twisted in agony;
Sadness runs in its old throbbing veins
From beneath the weight of the world where the roots sit
To the leaves that shy from the sun;
Sporadic stale skims of the wind summon a shiver
One to trigger anticipations so false
Of a shower of dew that never falls;
Obscured by the shadows of the city
Weighed down by expectations
Trapped by fabrications
You seek solace in the colossus of gloom
Hoping for an honest sense of superiority
Only to realize,
You're just another soul trapped in a willow

[Written about two months back]

Every step I take with you my world seems to stop
With every passing moment I wish to forever walk
Streetlamps merge into a blur and gravel turns to gold
Fireworks were sparkling and magic seemed to flow

A glimpse of your face, a warmth down my shaft
A touch from your hand, a skip in my heart
The night so common and the road so familiar
But my emotions like no other

One step closer to our destination
One moment less of sheer delectation
Through the time and mileage
I ask, Can I walk forever?

Every tick's a thread of silver
That forms a woven mesh of sliver
A rank abyss of timelessness
A mosaic that unravels beyond imagination
Into which my consciousness submerses
While I drift in a delightful intoxication;
A path of spice and sweetness
Of thorns and fires
I promise to tread
Forever holding your hand
Enclosed in a web of love
In this timeless dimension

Every day I miss you as the lark misses its voice
I’d dream up images only to remember you’re not there
With a hopeful heart I wait by my window in a sorrowful daze
Waiting for the first step you’ll take through my door

Under the same sky we lay at night
Always I lie in a wakeful glaze
Open-eyed I'll see in black and white
Pictures of us with enigmatic smiles

Days and nights separate only by light
Time is blurry when your touch is not mine
The world spins around me as I sit and gaze
At the falling autumn leaves and snowflakes

Departure is never a happy occasion
Yet permanence is never a reality
A kite's a kite only when let out to fly
Not kept in a cupboard, not left to fester
When the wind is mighty you'll fly far and free
Hanging on a rope tough as steel
I know you'll never fly too far from me
When the wind settles you'll fall back down
To let me catch you in my arms
I watch from below your magnificence
Your carefree spins, your floating tail
To watch you be the kite you are
Days may get gloomy, rain and lightning
But i'll never let go of the rope in my hands
Tattered and torn if you'd ever be
I'd nurse you well, i'd patch your rips
And then i'll watch you fly again
As i hold you by the other end

As the stars glimmer in the velvet sky
My mind swings through the universe in strayed lines
With freedom in spirit and liberty in words
My heart opens to Leonard this night onwards

Every moment I am flustered, I just have to look into your eyes, and all is well again.
Every moment I am saddened, I just have to think of your face, and all is fine again.
Every moment I am angered, I just have to think of your smile, and all is calm again.
Every moment my heart beats, I just have to think of you, and I submerge myself into extreme bliss, with a longing for your presence and a yearning for your touch.
Every moment I am with you, I thank destiny for bringing you to me.
I can see happiness for the rest of my life; there is finally something I can be sure of.
My future with you.

The evening air broods of lonesome solemnity
An aching throb of melancholy
As a pining heart awaits yet another sacred meeting
A moment of solitude with her heart's only
The sun-draped evening whispers sweet nothings
The heavy breeze carries hopes-aplenty;
Hear the voices of my soul the wind carries
Feel the warmth of my love in the sunset's embrace
The approaching night croons a loveful melody
While the shadows of the dark dance a gentle waltz
As the glitters in the sky and the dim streetlamps
Churn a bottomless memory of utter saccharinity.

Jingling metals, adorned with jewels
A hefty child ambles down the busy street
Tailored suit and matching pants
Around his thick neck a bow tie tethers
Huffing, throbbing, sweat adhering
He looks around to find nobody

Candy canes, coins aplenty
Yards of gardens to trample in
Bustling servants waiting on him
Ponies and puppies gaily bound
Wiping grease and cheese from his face
He looks around to find nobody

Clanking coals in a gunnysack
A laboured child trudges down the busy street
Fraying threads and matching dirt
Upon his frail frame his clothes tatter
Huffing, throbbing, sweat adhering
He closes his eyes to feel the bustling

Pockets empty, bed bugs aplenty
Creaking gate falling off its hinge
Mother's cooing and goodnight kiss
An occasional ride on his father's knees
Indulging in sparse broken wheat
He closes his eyes to feel the bustling

To forever cower under the weight of the world
Seeking solace in the darkness of the caves
Haunted by stalagmite and the echoes of my voice
Despaired by the walls closing in on me
Nudged in initially by a splint in my heart
Driven deeper by delusive qualms
Or to lift my head and open my eyes
To find the way back Where the sun dost shine
Embraced by the colours of the drizzling rainbow
Savour the scent of the meadowgrass
Bathe in the sprinkles of dew at dawn's break
Watch my spirit soar amongst the eagles in the sky
To crumble in fear or to flourish in courage
I was given a choice I dared not make
Hovering hesitating and drowning in angst
I closed my eyes and hoped it'd go away
Nothing left but liberty and sanity
As I allowed myself to relent to cowardice
It was a tunnel that led to a foreboding end
Drawn like a cur I was foolishly dragged
He stretched out his hand that held a torch
"Grasp it," He said
"And let me hold your hand as I lead you to the light-
Trust me, not your feet for they are weary,
not your mind for it's filled with folly-
Fear the unavoidable, but relish what comes after"
Brimmed with apprehension and guarded by yesteryears
Yet touched in my spirit and warmed in my heart
I held the flaming torch in a rigid grasp
And slowly reached out for his palm

My life is a portrait, colours arrayed
My mind is a blizzard, thoughts astray
An inch a mile, a second eternity
As I struggle to keep with nonce's monotony

Once I thought my life a novel
A bitter tale of weariness
Pages flip in misery
Words drone on in apathy

Much I yearned for bursts of excitement
A fairytale as of constellations'
Close I came to one I wished
Sadly it turned into shattered dreams

I watched the crumble of the yellowed parchments
Turn to ashes and flurry in stale breezes
While sinking into despair and helplessness
As the skies turn grey above my solidary figure

Awaiting the storm i spot a beam
A torch of warmth splitting the thick overcast
From the light a dove descends
Wherein lies the twist that pieced my broken cast

Upon that moment my folios flutter
Alphabets drizzle like fireworks of resplendence
Oceans of stories cling on edges of pages
Each turn vivacity blasts like the birth of a star

Twirling with every angel amongst the twinkles of the night
Burrowing beneath agelessness to cower in the mantle's might
Diving beyond the abyss amidst the glower of luminosity
Adventures unfold with every story untold

My novel abruptly jumped to life
Shaking off the cobwebs spun by time
A play writes in the hands of a miracle
One of love glistened by joy

Life is bliss when the angels carol
In a heavenly choir where nothing's amiss
Every voice is a melody
Every tune makes your heart sing

Hustle and bustle spells the noonday streets
Women in suits and girls in jeans
Jostle and tussle when the crowd's at peak
Men in sweat and boys in pink

Clangs of metal and handphones' screams
Day or night the city never sleeps
Deafened by blares of hedonists
Wandering souls float adrift

Just upon thinking the world's stop spinning
The heavenly angels start to sing
Croon in a voice merry and free
Triumphing the noise of economic beasts

No need for flamboyance, nor any for beats
No need for melodies, nor any for sheets
Listen to your heart while rhythms enchant your feet
Follow the angels' voices as your soul twirls to His feat

His eyes told stories of boundless lands
His lips quivered symphonies of a thousand bands
He took the world upon his shoulders
He parted rivers so I could cross

My fragile heart of glass was shattered
The tiny fragments roughly scattered
He picked up the pieces and put them together
And lifted me up and carried me onwards

All before me was an ugly sketch
I saw no colours, I saw no distance
The world kept spinning oblivious to my presence
Every next step was a trudge through a tangle

And then upon a rainbow he transcended
Beneath a resplendent beam of light
Every night I hoped for a miracle
There came the answer to my prayers

He painted my world an array of colours
He cleaved the thickets that obscured my path
I saw the flutters of a butterfly
I saw the jewels that dotted the night

An angel descended when I was downest
To urge me on, to hold me through
In a world so full of uncertainties
I find assurance in my fallen angel
The angel that brought me to life

It's a dark, lonely evening. Solitude has taken over the once-twinkling skyline. So much gloom, so little light, the earth and sky have merged into an obscure mesh of dirty shadows. Creaking buildings puff strands of cigar, wisps of smoke line the murky darkness. Lonesome figures steal about the forlorn milieu; bent stick figures drown in cheap merlot. A beggar in tatters limps down the streets, under rusty streetlamps doused by heavy stale wind. A whiff of drunkenness hovers about; grime and litter deluge the grounds. Desolate and forgotten are the tarry avenues; houses and carriages scarcely dot the roads. Children nestle in the warmth of homes, lit by dim lamps or dying hearths. A scrawny gray girl clad in rags shuffles along the deserted paths carrying a basket full of matches. Alley cats trample about buzzing trashcans, desperately digging for signs of fodder. Inebriated husbands keep wives waiting for the dole spent on pints and quarts. Infants cry for milk and cuddles, mothers cry for wasted sons. A gray mist covers the post-war city, where only graves and death remains.

Drown your sorrows in my maiden sea of luscious glee and my brimful of saccharinity; sluggishly or speedily peter out your rigidest despondency. Laugh, will you, gaily and sing with everlasting jollity, girlish giggles, manly merriment, swing your melancholic disposition. Chirrups of children chorus from kindergartens, melodious heaven, Richard's lair. An accidental ditty escapes a drizzling bathroom, souls in unison in a holy church choir. Hit me with your fervent music, joyous sounds in perfect harmony. Mar the enemy with your lethal ecstasy and melt their weapons into cotton candy. Critics whimper beneath your soles; polished daggers whiz through the backstabber's hind. Snails shall sprint with a cheetah's mettle; toads shall gleam with a prince's splendor. Pegasus and unicorns ride the waves of sunrise; angels and fairies blanket dreams with sugar. Overwhelm yourselves with your omnipotent jubilance; quench your sorrows with the juice of joy. Be happy, and try as you may, you mightn't beat me.

Summertime, scorching sun, blister the streets and sizzle the grass. Puffy whites dissolve in silky blue, a blazing blinding blot in lieu. Screaming children splash about in a incommodious cauldron while freckled mothers flush a heated crimson, clad in bikinis that reversedly twist the prided manhood. Men with senses scarcely dot the streets, ladies sit in cafeterias sipping cold tea. Hammer on, dear fuddled elephantine carpenters, above the placidity of a languorous heap, while bits of debris snow upon that erupting beast. We are ants immersed in a pot of sweet gurgling lava and marinated by the mid-day desert wind.

Upon that cheerless frozen lake skaters fly on searing blades, cleaving it apart with diamond daggers with a vehement thirst for icy blood. Wicked gleams grip the sides of the serpentine metals as they glide with enormity and a smug smirk of victory. Frosts of cold shrivel upon the sleek snarling skin of the ostensibly quiescent lake with crystals of despondency and currents of wrath ensnarled within. Vindictive repressions ache for liberation, a tinge of exultance, a shadow with colors. Beside the lake, a couple huddle, their white thinning hair fluttering in the bittersweet wind. "Shholding you tight, shholding you close, shwon't let go, shwon't let go..." croons the whispers of the curling winds licking their ears, pushing them closer as they cuddle for warmth. A gentle sweep of the icy breeze shoves a flurry of snow upon the old huddled bundle, and they shiver, their embrace tightens, and they trudge on, oblivious to the storms, impermeable to the storms, repelling the storms...

The dribbles of sunrise flicks an intimate glow against the glinting eyes of the phallus across, while the barren fluorescent gleam slices the thick atmosphere in my prison cell. While I yearn for the gentle caress of the motherly beams, languorous lumps furrow their foreheads and cower under sheets to salvage the dreams broken by the beams. Curtains fly with tinges of annoyance, windows bang with fits of anger, as the drone of daybreak harresses their sleep, like a drill through a freshly frosted lake. While I, I yearn to let stung by the slap of sunrise, let deafened by the screech of the cackling crows awakening, or let sing the enchantment of the chirps of canaries, let croon the melody of a nestling dove. A whisk of memories flush through my head, embracing me amongst sweet familiarity...

So close to my heart
So far from my touch
You're my morning breeze
My evening star;
Beneath a blurry film
I look from afar
With an ache in my heart
For the warmth of your hug;
To feel your fingertips dance like feathers
Across my skin tingling with affection
I'd give my last breath
Be it my last trump;
Before the altar
I fall on my knees
Where are my yesterdays
My burning heart screams;
Regret and remorse hurl a spear through my chest
A sense of loss spins a labyrinth in my head

I am an abandoned house atop a hill
With the flurry of bats and creaks of the hinge;
Furnished with silk and warm in my hearth
Once upon a time

If I had to paint a sunrise, I'd paint your heart-warming smile into it.
If I had to paint a sunset, I'd paint your angelic sleeping face into it.
If I had to paint a rainbow, I'd paint your honeyed words into it.
If I had to paint a storm, I'd paint you peeing while laughing.

I'm a fearsome tornado
I want to eat you alive
Nothing stands between you and I
I'll get you wherever you hide

I am a deadly chimera
I want to burn you alive
I need no wood nor oxygen
Hate will fuel my ire

I am a mile-high wave
I want to drown you alive
To bash you to bits in one crash
Your remains shall float on my ass

A jump, A plunge
A claw, A crawl
A seal freed from captivity
An eel with electricity

Dancing to no beat - glistening drops of dew
Gliding past my skin - a vast piece of blue

Back arcs, legs thrash,
Streamlined fury on an onward dash.
Limbs disjointed, body dismembered,
I disintegrate into the milieu

A sudden constriction beneath the chest,
I break the surface and gasp for air.
A meager pleasure that satisfies not,
I plunge back in, craving for more.

Incessant propelling - I move along
Eternity passes - I wake and visibilize

For that transient instant I wasn't there,
Momentary liberty I had attained.
I was a trivial current in a sea,
I wasn't me; I was free.

I'm aching, cracking, splitting apart
There's a blade in my brain, a spear through my heart
I'm drawn by a magnet from across a glass panel
Attracted yet unreachable
I'm slammed against the glass
Pressed tight against
Suffocating, agonized
An escaped breath - a fairytale
Seemingly there yet not
I sense yet not feel you
With such force my heart is drawn
It can bear no more
Massive Explosion
Mashed Pinkness
Painful Shrieks
Bloody Gore
And still I can't reach you.

Possessing beauty beyond words, you stun
me silent through your mesmerizing eyes.
Black diamonds, gleaming stars, a source of light
in the chilly dark night - Igniting grim
souls with the scintillating grin; Warming
stone hearts with the frolic jovial spirit.
If there is but one word to spell out your
name, it is but Marrow for liveliness
you give. Tumultuous storms shall cease to
churn when with pride I sing your name aloud.
Through shattered glass and love-filled tears, I see
you standing on Everest's peak, victorious,
unbeaten, with fervor filled to the brim.

Her hair cascades down the side of her face
Her eyes, dark jewels, they glitter without light
Her lips, so sensual, with honey escaping between
My lover, my Jayne, a porcelain doll alive

Somnolence is eating me alive
A war is fought in my mind and my eyes
I'm aching
I'm breaking
I'm fading away in the twilight

Boredom is corroding my inside
Restlessness is running away
It's tumour
It's cancer
My spirit just slid off a cliff

As evening spreads beneath the silver clouds
An orange flame retires in the distant setting
The thin cool breeze a blanket from the warmth
Swaying leaves greet the approaching night

Daylight dissolves into the mysterious shadows
The moon hangs low lightly kissing the trees
Specks of stardust sprinkle over the river face
Heads in pairs emerge forming dim silhouettes

Strolling alongside the rails guarding the river
The breeze runs its fingers through my hair
Stroking my face with a touch gentle as an infant’s
Clasping me with an embrace warm as a lover’s

The sauntering night wind sings a melodious song
Together the sleeping city and the night sky merge
A dreamlike ambience forms and hovers ubiquitously
Life awakes and sublimes into the calm serenity

The Prowler

A ball of fury diminishes
A cresent of calm surrender awakens
dark night
deep silence
The day relinquishes into surrealism

Footsteps on pavements cease to exist
The swish of a biker heightened in the peace
stale air
sweet silence
The night wind croons a cradlesong

Softly, slowly, slinking on all fours
It lurks in the darkness, looking for its prey
Watching, waiting, crouching on its toes
The night prowler has awaken, playing its little game

A quarry spotted, a pounce, a growl
Thrash cans crash, a near fatal collision
A hiss of seizure, a squeak of defeat
The prowler continues with its game

A glow strange to the night emerges
The shadows recede from illumination
balmy morning
broken silence
The break of dawn the prowler's dusk

Time gone wrong in front of me
The "second" hand reversing if not stationary
I'm traveling beyond a time machine
In a dimension not meant to be

Twists and turns in a labyrinth
Claustrophobia seems a mild thing
I thrash and scream
Yet all they do is engulf me

Waves of weariness wash over me
Tides of defeat closing in
Images of you suddenly flood my spirit
Swim on, it says to me

Lumbering on through an illusory path
A purpose I've found in an unimaginable plight
In the distance beyond the dark
A luminous stone breathes out light

Parched in darkness, thirsting for fire
I crave to be scorched and burned alive
Unmoving stone walls scorn and spit
As I sprint ahead with glue on my feet

And I reach it.
And I grab.
And I miss.
Alas, I realize it was all a dream.

Not the odious labyrinth
The dream is but the illusive light
My life morphs into that ghastly maze
I creep on resentfully towards my demise

Auburn crows and trudging doves
Black carnations, scribbly gums
Cranking metals in a coal mine
Silent China, workmen don't dine

Icicles melting, India snowing
Children dying, old men sweeping
Dogs eat dogs, rats chase cats
Lakes are churning, men are crying

Infants suckling on wrinkled plums
Misers smothered by coins galore
The tilted earth is leaning further
Our home was green and grey it is

Our world is in a mess.

Cold silence
Throw me into a frozen lake
Drown me
Slicing silence
Tear me apart with your bloody fangs
Eat me
Ominous silence
Smother me in your pillow of wrath
Choke me
Desiccating silence
Wring me dry of my tears and my life
Parch me
Excrutiating silence
Chop me up with a glowing axe
Mince me
Scorching silence
Melt me down and fuel the flames
Burn me
Stinging silence
Press me against a bed of needles
Pierce me
Hurt me, Kill me, Hate me.
The rivers shall not flow
The moon shall not shine
The birds shall not sing
The buds shall not bloom
The tears shall not flow
The eyes shall not shine
The heart shall not sing
The lady shall not bloom
The earth shall not spin
The poet shall not live.

Waves of pity, angry surges
A bottled fizz, churned and shaken
Hissing bubbles, a thousand hyenas
Swirling eagres, hungry and treacherous

Forceful rages ram the lid
A cover strong and tight in grip
Fury swells spelling calamity
Thrusting the lid into defeat

An unyielding grip that meant to restrain
Long it held against the bane
Yet sudden liberty the confined gained
Alas, the bottle breaks

[And still the cover sustains its hold
Knowing not the fate of its mould
Admirable staunchness dispensable
Fate and destiny reprehensible]

If I had one last breath
I'd keep it forever
For letting it go
Means seeing you never

I'd hold it back in
'til the last of your days
When your eyesight fails
And your hearing's dead

You won't see me purple
Nor hear me whimper
Just feel the same hands
You've been holding for years

Hug me hard
I won't gasp
Pull me close
I need that touch

It's hard not to breathe
When your brain is screaming
Holding back is tough
But for you I must

To see one more smile
To feel one more kiss
A pack we've made
To die hands linked

'Til I see you go
With a smile on your face
Shall I let that breath go
And I sleep in peace

I turned around and you were there
Perhaps, I thought, we'd make a pair
The thought developed, it grew and grew
'Til I decided "the one" was you

As I held you in my gaze
On and on my mind would say
"May I hath this moment forever
The moment I hath with thee"

Time flew by and we sprung like sprouts
From frivolous cows to mellow adults
We grew together, our thoughts were one
When I was in trouble, I knew you'd come

Tough times came but you never went
Pumping along, my blood would rant
"May I hath this pillar forever
The pillar thou art for me"

Affection grew stronger as time dashed past
It was a rapport I thought would last
But bit-by-bit our bond dissolved
Distant we were, as though newly washed

As right now we gradually part
I say a silent prayer in my heart
"May I remember this love forever
The love I hath for thee"

I set up this blog so as to post my poems so as never to lose them. Each is a warehouse of my emotions and thoughts. When I look back at each one of them, I remember the exact feeling that was going through me when I wrote them. Such is the magic of poetry. It is inside everyone, and I hope someday everyone can appreciate the beauty of writing. I've lost many I've written, and it's quite a pity. Those above have been written since I was 15. There was a period of time it stopped coming to me, and now it's back once in a very long while.
