Richard Lam Poems

Time to celebrate
Time to mourn
Time to live
Time to die
...

I am inside a room
I touch the walls
I stare at the ceiling
I stay like this for days
...

The girl of my life
The girl full of life
Will you be my wife?
You are the person
...

What happens to people when they die?
Do they go in pain
Or they go in peace?
Do they seek forgiveness
...

There's still time
It isn't too late
Board the train
Settle in another town
...

The girl I loved
The girl of my dream
The road you chose
The road I chose
...

It's been like this for so long
Almost like a forgotten song.
They think I'm the clown,
Easy smiles and quick jokes,
...

I saw him and he saw me
In a land so faraway,
At a place neither of one us should've been.
I was faster.
...

Why did you kill me?
I killed you because I had to.
I killed you because they told me to.
Why did you kill me?
...

You want me to tell you
Words from within
You want me to tell you
Those empty eye sockets
...
