Nicholas Lim Poems

Looking at your face,
A thousand words surface,
...

I dare not ask a kiss,
I dare not beg a smile,
Lest having this, or that,
Will make me proud the while.
...

Above the sea the eagle soars,
Observing the seas waging wars
Peace with the world, without a care,
The sky to himself with no one to share!
...

The flames consume the green fields,
setting the land ablaze.
Destroying the crops of summer’s yields,
under the heavenly gaze.
...

Freedom is joy,
Sweet is its taste.
Like the rain on the earth,
Freedom is god’s grace!
...

I’m all alone,
Withdrawn from the world below,
Covered in darkness,
Fear creeping over me.
...

On the edge of my ledge,
I wonder,
If you still love me,
And if I still love you.
...

Irony of life,
Brought forth from loins, yet
Seeming to destroy with strife.
Life brought with upset.
...

Of this I tell in simple words,
Nothing shall be better -
For the story of a life, not borne,
Can mean a desperate end.
...

Twas an ordinary day, the sky raining down upon
Those tears foretell, the events told hereon.

On this very fateful day,
...
