Victorious

You tried to enticeMe to be another hoodlum.But I’ve severed all our ties,Though it was a problem.You were a major bully,Out to beef up your status.I understood you fully,Won’t be your apparatus.You created lots of trouble,Which I couldn’t get out of...

Why can’t you seeThis pain is slowly killing me?Love can make hearts go mushy,But wounds are raw like sushi.Remember the times we shared?Living on the edge, we dared.But…you took away happiness,You’ve no more gentleness.My world’s pitch black,I’ve se...

Please don’t kill our love,It’s everything I live for.Upon my oath to Heaven and Earth,I’ll improve and not be a bore.I’m not asking a lot,All I want is only you.To settle for less, I will not,As men like you, there are few.Allow me to share your lif...

Nosy Neighbor

Our neighbor is nosy,Although we’re not at all noisy.She peeps out from her window;Perhaps her thinking is shallow. We’ve a normal existence,Don’t need her acceptance.To her rules, we’ll not adhere,Or are we leaving here. Though we love our home,That...

Your love for me is over,I’m your history.But you were my best lover,Will hold on to the memory. I’ve no regrets in life,Have had my moment.Because of you I felt alive,Each day was wonderment. I’m here alone,Lying on my bed,Waiting by the phone,But t...

Keepsake

This little trinket,Bought at the night market.Handiwork, crude and thick,By itself, has no value,Is not even new;Nonetheless, it’s a keepsake. Received it some time back,A present from beloved Zac.Still recollect the exact second,When I held it in m...

Farewell

This morning, misty and blur ---We’re to bid farewell,Parting ways at the harbor,Above the din, best wishes we yell. Our friend’s on the ship,Sailing for a new destination,Memories of life here to keep,Running wild, her imagination. Oh, would’ve love...

Spare Part

Though hoped it’d be soon,Time hasn’t healed this wound,Inflicted by you who held my heart,Treated me like spare part. Was at you whim and fancy,But you had a girl named Nancy.Friends gave ample warning,Yet, for you, I had total longing. I hadn’t a d...

As long as I’m alive,Really don’t mind,Living a frugal life,Haven’t much to name as mine. Without calling a conference,I’m poor is common knowledge.Yet it makes no difference,And I’ll not fly into a rage. Material wise, I may have nothing,But family...

Beggar

Life is tough ----Only a quarter in my pocket.Am always treated roughOn trips to the market. Hard to fill a belly so empty,With cash this meager.No one has sympathyFor me, an old beggar. Don’t have enough food;Pathetically, I also smell.Thus can’t be...
