Waiting for Shooting Stars

Camped out on the beachStaying warm in blankets;Looking up into the skiesBlack but for twinkling stars.The crackling of campfireBreaks the night's silence;Smoke drives mozzies awayKeeps the chill at bay.The crashing of wavesIn the dark ocean is lulli...

Wandering Mind

With no destination it goesFlying off here and there;Thinking of this and thatEnjoying itself somewhere.I've been slacking recentlyWith a mind that's wandering;Totally distracted every minuteWhile the owner is pottering.Shutting off unexpectedlyForce...

As I Lay in Bed

As I lay in bedThe warmth envelops;Tiredness comes in wavesWashing away hopes.I close my eyesConcentrate on the darkness;Take shallow breathsFuture seems bleakest.Counting sheep 98, 99, 100Sleep won't claim me;Though tired to the coreIt hurts to the...

PC Illiterate

In class, was the oldest,Computer literacy, weakest.You’d be in agreement,It’s the year’s understatement. So, this is a monitor, not TV.Well, I’m already quite savvy!Oh, was like a lump of mutton,Failing to find the power button. How I was laughed at...

If

If things seem tough,Your employer is rough,Don’t take it hard.Of this road, only another yard;It’s not too far,Going by car.If you perceive the winterIs simply too bitter,Continue to strive,Be thankful you’re alive,And your constitution, fine;Wait f...

The break of dawn Heralds a new beginning, For you, for me, for us Sealed by the birds chirping. Leave the past behind Where they rightly belong, Lessons have been learned To the future don't bring along. Far into the horizon we fly Struggle through...

My mind is blank, I can't think What I want to say, I don't know, My heart is cold, I can't feel I want to write, but ink doesn't flow. I have been struck hard Why, oh, why, is it like this? Did it happen now? Is there something amiss? Anyone who has...

Who Am I?

I can't even remember Who I was to begin with, As the days pass to be months And years, even decades. Who am I, I wonder What makes me, me? The very essence has been stripped Layer by layer over time. Who was I? Am I? Who will I be? Shaped by circums...

Homeward Bound

I’m on a train ride,Going to take eight hours.Here with my best friend,Returning to the town of ours.Chugging along slowly,In here, can’t rest much.There’s refreshing scenery,Lots of trees, green and lush.Grey outlines of mountains,Clear our minds of...
