Destiny

5 Jul 2021 1 minute read 3 comments emily2u

The wind is swirling,Whipping around my hair,Creates a wild feeling,But I really don’t care.Poor me, age is catching up,Yet I’m undecided on my future.It’s difficult enough to get a little grub,Outside is too many a vulture.Standing on the balcony,Lo...

Internal Struggle

Down the road today I go on my way,Leaving all my cares behind.Can’t be gay if I don’t have any say,It’s better to stop the daily grind.No fun to always be on the runAnd not face my real emotions.If a fight’s to be won, something’s gotta be done,So I...

Lullaby

Close your eyes, my baby,It’s already late.Beside you is Mummy,Your sleeping mate.We’ll let in some moonlightTo drive away your monster.Don’t be afraid of the night,Soon will have crows of the rooster.I just read you a story,Of the smart deer.He’ll t...

X-factor

You capture our attentionJust walking into the room.Cause chaos to our imagination,Hearts go boom, boom, boom.Yet you show no sign,Unconscious of your beauty.Let us guard while you dine,We’re making it our duty.You’re not a female actor,But absolutel...

Y2K

The hype of Y2K,Passed without delay.There was an irrational fear,Yet, had no glitches whatsoever.To find out, one needn’t be clever,After all, ‘twas just another year.The wee hours of 1st January,In the Isle of Capri,Merriment was underway.All laugh...

College Seat

To obtain a college seat I’ve failed,As all my applications were rejected.Don’t look as if I’m fit to be jailed,Isn’t it enough I’m feeling dejected?All were fine like an engine well oiled,I was even soundly rested.Along the way, plans were foiled,I...

Yearbook

My school yearbook of ’81,Is the only reminder I have.All moved on to be someone,I’m the only loser left.With thirty-five pages,Though not thick,Also have quotes by sages;Flipping through, I’m nostalgic.Was the most memorable yearOf my entire school...

Hero

Our hero is at the door,He’s whom I adore.Back from serving the country,Fresh from victory.My son the brave,Our people you helped save,Was selfless indeed,What a magnificent feat!A mother’s pride,I’m unable to hide.My eyes are moist ---Let the world...

Reluctant Heroes

In the field, young men stood in line,Each struggled to turn his mind,Away from secure home life;Comradeship is keeping spirits alive. The war has just started,From loved ones, they were parted.Tears were shed freely at the station ---They’ll soon re...

Zizz

Need to have restWill grab some zizz.Can’t look my bestWith an outbreak of zits. Though it’s only noon,A while since I was fed.Have to get up soon,So, it’s not too early to bed. Will take nothing additionalTo my glass of warm milk;Put on the air-cond...
