I remember the day my teacher got really mad,
He embarrassed us all for a fault, not too big
He said calmly but sternly, "Who do you think you are? Do you think your section is the brightest in the college? Shame on students like you..."
And he went on spitting swords right on our face,
...
There were cold needles in my head
Silently wringing down my neck
Then there was a sudden shift
of rain to a sunny day
...
She had come to hear
Lyre so terrible of critical beats
no sweet melody
nor soft rhythm to soothe her plea
...
One may speculate,
Why won't I lament;
Thy coldness, thy strife, thy name,
But why, should I be?
...
I forget you everyday
I'm trying to brush off the dust of your shoes,
But I'm keeping your artworks;
your workroom is still the same, unmoved;
...
Let me feel the poetry of your heart
Which you cannot write
Let me gather the alphabets of purity and sincerity
Let me hold your weakening hand
...
I believe in happy endings,
In the 'Happily Ever After' of a Cinderella tale;
In rewards for good deeds,
And a crown for a long-lost prince.
...
I was with the moon last night,
I'm with him again tonight;
With all the glittering dots beside;
Lavishing me with delight;
...
Dear friend, I have a little secret to tell you,
‘Tis sure not a bluff and untrue;
But I no longer see gray skies above,
And shower in my tears and blood;
...
Times, seasons, they change,
They are fleeting; they run;
And you battle within your bosom,
But that would be vanity.
...
