Joseph Teo Poems

I love the pen you got me Mum.
But why are my thoughts being condensed onto the screen
Unlike the little ink drops of affection by Amy Lowell?
The state of our hearts are the same.
...

Shake, Shake, Shake
That's what you did with but a song you sang.
Your voice so sweet it formed the key
With one purpose it can spare
...

Petrified, that's how you look
With Dread and fear you shook.
Don't turn away, my heart's so bared
My howl is not a scare.
...

The night air is cold
Too cold.
It reaches out for me.
Intimidates me. I need my savior!
...

How did you catch me?
I thought Never neverland preserved me.
Like a locomotive drug you flowed
Into my heart.
...

The lights were on
And the camera was rolling
Yet I had no words to say
Cause all I could see was your face in front of me.
...

Please save Charming
Kill Annoying
Wipe out Weary
We'll embrace the pinnacle
...

She asked if I was tired,
I said I wasn't
I lied.
Loving you is tiring.

She asked if I was tired,

Loving you is tiring.
