97. MY YESTERDAY

Now I could only look back 
To yesterday 
Unable to touch it 
Unable to change it 
Either grateful 
Or regretting it 
For that is all 
Yesterday is about 
It is the past 
And it shall not return 
Such is my love for you 
Only a distant memory 
Which I now see 
As a tiny flicker of light 
Like a dying star 
For you now belong 
To my YESTERDAY 
To my PAST

96. MOTHER EARTH


Sitting here alone in the middle of no where 
I’m tired of this charade and lots of "I couldn’t care" 
What has happened to this weary world of ours 
There’s war, hunger, untimely death at all hours 

The world is now at a cross road 
To live on or die at humans’ careless hands 
What have we done to make things right 
To cure this sickly and much polluted lands 

Sitting here alone at no man’s island 
I have a million things frolicking in my mind 
Things I can barely contain in my hands 
And should have done instead of being ‘blind’ 

Time to wake up and do our part 
Give Mother Earth a break and let’s be smart 
Time to give back what we’ve taken apart 
Let Mother Earth feel the love from our hearts

95. FORGIVE ME


Forgive me for running away from you 
It’s not because I stop loving you 
But it’s because I cannot have you 
Forgive me my dearest love, for forsaking you 

Forgive me for refusing to meet you 
It’s not because I loathe you 
Neither is it because I hate you 
Forgive me my one and only for loving you 

Forgive me for turning my back on you 
It’s not because I refuse to hear you 
In fact I fully understand you 
But there’s just no way for me and for you

94. LOVE AND IT'S MANY FACETS


Love abused is like a velvet glove fitted on a dirty shoe 

Love unspoken is like an antique treasure box left unopened 

Love unrequited is like rose petals falling upon the white snow 

Love given up is like a favourite rocking chair left to rot in the attic 

Love wasted is like the morning dew soaked up by the desert sands 

Love accepted & appreciated is like a warm blanket in a cold winter night 

Love shared between two loving hearts is like a secret waiting to be unfolded

93. MY CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOU


This Christmas I will send you a gift 
of black and velvety night skies 
with myriads of tiny diamond stars 
to light up your sad and longing eyes. 

Wrapped up in a box of red and gold 
with gossamer ribbons soft and silky 
with colours of the rainbow bold 
tied in a bow knotted with love & kisses from me. 

This Christmas I wish to send you gift 
a five-foot-two porcelain white 
living doll with honey lips 
to love you morning, afternoon and night. 

This Christmas just close your eyes 
Santa will come and bring you 'Me' 
to keep you warm and kindle your fires 
and give you wings and set you free. 

This Christmas I promise you this: 
I will be good, I will be nice 
For this gift, just this once, I will give 
So you be kind, be loving, be wise.

92. THE EPITAPH OF MY LOVE


His name is carved in my memory forever 
His face is etched permanently in my mind 
His eyes seek deep into my soul 
His voice forever rings in my ears 
His smiles melt my entire being 
His kisses make my heart skip its beat 
His touch sends my mind reeling 
His promises could wrap the Earth tenths of times over 
These are the very things that made me love him. 
BUT, at times................... 
His actions prompted me to ask, why him? 
His yearnings peek the heavens 
His possessiveness is on the brink of jealousy 
His desires overwhelm and could drown me 
His requests from me would strip me of all my principles 
His words cut like a knife, deep into my very soul 
What he said made me cry a million tear drops 
He said I always receive and never give, but I know its otherwise 
And all I ask of him is to bask in the sunshine of my love 
But this isn't enough for him; so now...what am I supposed to do? 
To forget him or to leave him, I can never do, 'cos everything about him 
Is carved, etched, ingrained, imprinted into THE EPITAPH OF MY LOVE 
But this love I have for him is burning and consuming me day by day 
And I am afraid that one day I'll be reduced to nothingness...............

91. THE SUN ROSE IN HIS EYES


This morning I saw the sun rose in his eyes
He was so happy, so pleased that we are one
I know I'm gonna love him for a long time
Till we're both old and our lives are done

I love the way he held me and my hands
Each time we sat to watch the sun set
The way he ran his fingers through my hair
And how he caressed my face, I won't forget

I love the moments we had while we ate
How we savoured the food we loved
How he dealt with our lovers' spats
How he gazed at the moon above

It is the little things that we do
For each other that means the world
How he says to me "Oh,how I love you"
How he treats me like I'm a little girl

Spending the nights in his arms
Gazing at the stars, lying beneath the skies
Him, keeping me safe from all harms
Laying me to sleep, by kissing my eyes

I love him deeply with all my heart
Will cherish him with all my soul
I can't think of us being far apart
He is my breath, my life, my all

I'll love him till the sun sets in his eyes
Till the moon stops revolving round the Earth
Till the water in the oceans and seas runs dry
I'll love him and prove to him his true worth

90. THE TEAR


When you came into my life 
With your smile and laughter 
I thought I was the luckiest man alive 
When you lay your head 
On my chest 
I smelled your hair 
When you put your arms around my neck 
I kissed you 
When you whispered my name softly 
I buckled at my knees 
When you slept in my arms while watching TV 
I watched your eyes fluttered 
When you declared your eternal love 
I thought I’d die 
I have given you my heart and my body 
My life, my soul, my time and my money 
Because I love you, and ONLY you 
Then you left me and now all that’s left 
Of me is 
A SINGLE TEAR 
rolling down my cheek….

89. TILL


I will not stop searching TILL I find you 
And hold you close to my chest so 
That you can hear my heart beating 
I will not sleep soundly TILL I see you 
With my very eyes and know for sure 
That you are in front of me at last 
I will not watch the sunset TILL you 
Come and hold my head to your bosom 
To let me hear the sound of your breath 
I will not dry these tears I cry for you 
TILL you come and sit upon my lap 
And tell me that I’m your only love 
I will not rid myself of your memories 
TILL you appear by my side and give me 
The kiss that is meant for me only 
I will not rest my weary bones TILL you 
Surrender yourself to me so that I can 
Pour all my love upon you completely 
So, TILL I can have you all to myself 
I will keep waiting, searching, wanting 
Wishing, praying, thinking and I may 
Even just die momentarily for YOU

88. WHAT DO I DO......


What do I do with all the memories of us 
that keep haunting my weary mind 
and that just refuse to go away? 
What do I do with all the traces you left 
on shores of my tired heart 
that become embedded so deep? 
What do I do with the stark reminders 
that you've been here in my life 
that keep popping up everywhere I go? 
What do I do with my long nights 
when your face keep appearing in my dreams 
and reminding me of those times we had? 
What do I do with all your pictures 
that have graced the pages of my life 
that have now been imprinted there? 
What do I do with your gifts of words 
that I have cherished since time exists 
and had become my daily creed? 
What do I do to forget you forever?
