Guardian Angel

‘Twas a beauteous morn,When I was born.Mournfully, also your demise;Oh, anguished were Mum’s cries.She took on the role of dad,At no one she was mad. My guardian angel you became,Helping me achieve my aim.Mum made the best of each day,Raising me with...

This lamp is my home,As I’m a genie.The story’s written in a tome,People want me for money.I can grant your wishes,Though nothing comes free.Certainly, you were told by teachers,Nevertheless, you can make three.If I turn them into reality,What will I...

Frustrations

Got frustratedWhen in school, relegated;Though studied real hard,All reds in the report card.Got frustratedWhen in love, initiated,But was laughed at,Said I was a foolish lad.Got frustratedWhen in a job, committed.However, according to my boss,I was...

Up the Hill

Crushed

Staring out from sunken sockets,Hands sticking into pockets.Back and shoulders hunched,While your spirit, crushed.Look, yet see nothing,Ears fine, can’t hear a thing.This is not the way to react,Though big is the impact.We’d like to reach inside you,...

Bonkers

In the days, darkest,Feel like I’m going bonkers.The sky could be starlit,All I see is a black sheet. My skull is highly pressured,Of an easy life, not assured.As I could burst a vein,Going to drive in the slow lane. Can’t make out what’s the matter,...

Dreams I Allowed To Die

I've only myself to blame,For this hard road I walk,For choosing this path,For not listening to you.I've only myself to blame,For not working as hard,For taking things for granted,For not achieving my goals.I've only myself to blame,For not believing...

Till We Meet Again

The hands of my watch tick byI track their progress, fascinated,But time seems to be moving slowlyDragging its feet, unmotivated.Feeling stuck in the momentLost in my own thought,A whistle snaps me out of itOh, board the train I ought!As I am carried...

Swept Away

As I lay here against the breezeMemories invade my thoughts,Shaded under the palm treesBrushing sand from my shorts.So many things I want to sayCan't find the words to express,Nothing uttered turns out rightlySo just bottle up in my chest.Children pl...

As the last breath is exhaledThe tears roll down,This is it, the final goodbyeAnd there is no reverse. The chime of the clockCatches your attention,You look at the timeThe moment frozen forever. The world continues to spinNothing seems to change,Yet,...
