Andrew W.K. Yip Poems

The sun rises in the East - Nature`s law for sure.
Sunrise - no surprise, blessings from its rays pure.
But suns rise and set, flowers bloom and wither.
We count the suns rising; they give light but whither.
...

I saw a place with a nice new face
On the street I knew before,
A place where the senses stir, passion swings and memory sways,
A lingering dream of yesterday once more.
...

I walk in the heavy rain
And search in vain in a narrow lane
The tender love I once knew
To start my life anew.
...

Like little children we walked along
Nature`sway strewn with flowers, leaves and thorns,
Under tall trees and their dark looming shadows
Bright lights pierced through the mist like arrows,
...

'Teach me to live under the sun,
To learn, to work and to have fun.
Mould me like the potter`s clay,
Fill and inspire me each day.'
...

An embittered soul, restive in repose,
A reverie or dream the restless mind compose'd
That fugitive moment she clearly smiled.
But why was she carrying a small child?
...

I'm a child of the universe,
Lost in the labyrinth of time and its relentless revelation,
Clutching the lights and shadows of past, present and future,
Limping along a lonely lane of oblivion.
...

I cast a fast net in faint celestial light;
Its soaring silhouettes in the sky,
A frenzy of flaps and flutters of birds in flight,
On wings of dream and fancy, flying high.
...

Away those fleeting years and prime,
Even lingering in quietness - the tyranny of time,
Here am I with just some baggage,
Odd pieces of old belongings in the luggage,
...

A Mother's Love - dedicated to Sharon and Melissa

I still have a love of gold,
Purer and brighter than the sun.
