Ivan Ng1 Poems

Sleep now, child
Today's adventures
wore this little warrior down
...

Ceiling so high
Walls so wide apart
Treading along this path
with a gasping heart
...

Something is approaching.
Clink! Clank! Clunk!
I attempt to stand where the doors open.
A rush of warm air overcomes me as I look for a seat.
...

Rough grass poking on my legs...
Prickly on my arms, too.
The sun slowly starts baking.
Swoosh!
...

This voice cries out
From within
Pleading for
A special place
...

Rain pouring down on the windshield.
Everything's a blur.
I look out the window, all I see are orange streetlights.
Splash!
...

Cracking open the door,
I let go of the cold metallic doorknob.
Bang!
Door slams.
...

In the morning
When nature calls
I stand erect
...
