MVJ Simon Poems

I want to watch the sun rise on Mt. Kanchenjunga
And feel its warm rays seep down to my heart

I want to lie down on a moist grass carpet
...

I can sense the distaste in your stare

The way you look away when you see
...

Life is a mirror so clear
When you look at and smile
it smiles back at you
...

Go on to make a living

You’ve got bills to pay
...

Alone

When the wondrous rounds of applause fades
When thinning crowds turn their backs and slink away
...

Just yesterday I was a child
Gazing in wonder at the twinkling stars

I wonder now when it was last
...

Brevity

Some wise man said
It’s the soul of wit
...

An octagonal verandah

Wide steps below
...

When life’s storm rages
And I have none beside
That’s when you arrive
My friend, who’s always there
...

Girl, you walked right in

Throwing wide open
...
