THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER...

There will never be another to hold my hands and walk with me through the dark ditches,
There will never be another to kiss away my tears, while I'm wallowing in my well of woes,
...

INNER PEACE

I found my Inner peace in my pen and paper,
I found my Inner peace in my inky scribbles,
...

Trekking down swiftly on the dusty grounds to our hearths, sweats washes over us like rain,
Our laughter echoes back at us in pure bliss almost like that of wide-eyed youngsters,
The earth trembles as we stroll down the route of comradeship, an eternal expedition,
Friends, it's high time we murdered the green-eyed monster with the green horns,
...

Last night, my head was smoothed against my pillow in a peaceful slumbering,
My heart was thumping against my chest as if it would burst like an inflamed balloon,
Last night, I was in the land of dreams, dwelling amidst dreamers like me,
My eyes was closed to the turmoils of these times, my mind was unfolded from fantasies.
...

I need you to hold my hands while the heaven is mancled in an embrace with darkness,
I need you to numb the pangs of pain swallowing me whole along with my sanity,
I need you stay by my side while my hairline dwindles down the road laced in silver linings,
I need us to make magic, before the world watch me fade away like clouds while they fold their arms.
...

IN MY SILENCE

In my silence, I speak volumes of words,
On my stoic face, expressions are crafted,
...

24/7 HOUR LOVE..

You promised me a whole 24/7 hour of true love,
Through out our days, we will fly on Cupid's back,
...

HEARTBREAK SONGS ARE BETTER..

When I left your side, all hubristic but
enfeebled,
...

WHAT ABOUT ME?

What about me and the hurts in my heart?
What about everything I've been through?
...

PANGS OF PAIN

There are pangs of pain prickling my heart,
There are rhythms of pain tingling my soul,
...

BURNING MY MIDNIGHT CANDLE..

Every night, I stay up just to feed my eyes on the scrawlings on my books,
Everyday, I sleep not just to feed my mind with knowledges from my books,
...

I LOVED YOU BETTER...

I loved you better when your heart was still in one whole piece,
I loved you better when your hands get warm within my reach,
...

LOSS OF LOVE...

With strifes in their hearts and heads, they took up arms like plunderers,
They are ready to loot the last hope from our hearts and minds like smugglers,
...

I WILL TRY AGAIN...

I will try again with an air of confidence,
The confidence I lost during my fatal fall,
...

They Ask Me Why...

They ask me why I constantly recoil to my shell leaving behind a timorous trail,
They ask me whether love was a foe, an enemy I would never again forgive,
...

THIS MOMENT...

I don't want this moment to pass us by,
I just want to to get lost in your starry eyes,
...

SINCE YOU'VE LEFT


Since you've left, I've been standing at the entrance of your heart, stiff as a palm tree.
...

LOYALTY

LOYALTY is the watchword inscribed on the walls of our hearts so we don't neglect it,
We will watch our worlds with the torch of the heaven, streaming with sparkling stars,
...

ALLOW ME...

Allow me to hold your hand stiffened and stained with sores;
Allow me to lavish your love-starved heart with my love tales;
...

OUR FATHER'S LAND

On our father's land, we will serve with joy in our hearts while the land is rusty with dearth.
We will sow on our father's land the seeds of labour, with honesty jingling in our hearts.
...
