Yes, youÂ’re in Love
Penned by a stranger, written with care
As the words unfold, like rubies rare
Poetic by nature, itÂ’s meaning discreet
Intentions as pure as honey is sweet
In love or out, as passion it stands,
Reads like a play, a monologue planned,
As such that happens takes you by surprise,
Neither prepared, neither wise.
The feeling that comes from a heart so true,
Bear witness to this love renew,
From a boy of charm, of intelligence and romance
Who prays day by day to be given a chance
To appreciate how special you truly are
Like a diamond in the rough, like an amorous star
Or like a flower in bloom, like a rainbow arc
Like rain upon sand, like a shimmer in the dark.
Yet, doubts still remain, as stubborn as it seems
Oh, could it be just an impossible dream?
Then do choose to awake your soul at rest
For truly, with eyes opened, you are much blessed
Showered with a love that only friends could possess
From friendship to courtship and words to impress
And hence will spark a relationship so real,
Only then do the intentions really reveal.
The smile upon your faces says much than you both know
So why stop at expressions? Why not just let it show?
ItÂ’s only when you accept this gift thatÂ’s sent from up above
That you realize beyond doubts,
Without question,
That yes, youÂ’re in love. -

For my 2 best friends
You should have listened before you even dare,
Now look at the stir and the people who stare,
Don't start saying that your decisions are final
And that your own emotions is the only vital.
How could you say force when there isn't resistance
what they've said they've spoken needs no persistence
Cause deep within you is the fire to win
and that losing or failing is as good as sin.
In times to come, I hope it is now
You'll learn that no one will be happy, no one will bow
to such whims and fancies that it takes 'em by surprise
when they see your farce stripped by disguise.
Think again and think it through
There's so much solutions, ways that will do
Apart from this road, you've taken thus far
Take off that mask, that face smeared with tar.
Sometimes it's wise to look at what animals seem,
Of minute ants, so tireless working as a team
And when one man down, could the rest survive?
Will they just wither and cease to thrive.
So don't blame them for their anger, resentment or fear
They once depended on your talent, your creations, your tear.
The tears that will drip to the floor so bare
When you see them laugh without a care.
Yet, I understand your cause of emotion
It's so hard to work without much of a caution
And when things all come to a bout
I will find it hard if someone scream and shout.
His intention is precise, it's very clear
His desire to win, in his heart he holds dear
So when ideals clash and conflicts arise
He can't just stand and watch with angered eyes.
He chose to boss and push us humans around
It was then you knew that argument abound
So what did you do? Did you play the game?
Did you went along like a tiger, tame?
And as for you, I've mentioned much
With words I've adviced with elbows I've nudged
That someday you will feel the bout of your words
Then you'll know how it feels to be dirt.
No one likes to be pushed aside,
Ordered with harshness, demands with vice
And that's the one lesson you should learn
To always always look back and turn
I'm siding neither side in this
Cause I see the silver admist the riot of peace
It's hard I know, to compromise
It's easier to fight and say your goodbyes.
But now I'm telling this trio, so listen good,
Life is not without it's up and down mood
It's the variation that matters, the way it is seen
That determines your attitude from the places you've been
Take a sit on this ride of life
And stop treating this like a fatal dive
Where one solution stops and refuses to bother
Always remember that we all need one another
When it comes to playing this game of chance,
This shall not be your last dance -

In love: In like: Indeed
"All empty and bare like a paper white
That represents his heart, excite
Waiting to paint that canvas blue
As a prologue to a romance due
Take red and yellow and strike it bold
Colour it bright and wild with gold
Then on the canvas, draw a picture of birds
No need for sketches, no need for words.
With a frame in hand, all wooden and brown
Now the canvas is painted, like a king just-crowned
It's beautiful and a wonder to see and awe
Yet something is missing, a grievous flaw.
"You call this art? An impossible claim!
Such works, so careless would never know fame
For what this drawing, this canvas needs
Is emotions and feelings that far exceeds"
And so the artist, now bowed in regret
Walked away in silence, choosing to forget
Never again would he paint in blue
Nor red, nor gold in any other hues
Now, 2 years on he chanced to glance
At the tattered canvas, he sees a chance
To make correct what once was wrong
He knows how to beautify, twas in him all along
His heart once cold, and hard as stone
Has now found love in instances unknown
With the courage to paint that canvas again
He picks up his brush with strokes refrain
So the canvas once blue, with red and gold
Is now a piece of art to see and behold
Yet something's still amiss, it don't quite make sense
For it now has more worth than dollars and cents
Thus locked in a closet, the painting sat still
For a day when its master has his wish fulfilled
Only then will it know the power of love
And the meaning to the drawing of the two white doves"
The purpose of this stranger's poem and prose
Is simple, and true like a song compose
That somewhere in the crowd there is a "he"
Whose love for you spans ocean and sea
And here's what he needs to say to you
A short indication of what is true
So don't be surprised as it takes you away
Cause truly love is, and this what he has to say.
"Sorry for not doing what I should do
To an angel like you sent from above
You're special and unique, in my heart you'll stay
Cause you're the she I fell in like for
And now IÂ’m in love" -

The irony of it all
ironic how it takes the storm to conjure up a rain,
and take that rain with droplets of water to shine the sun again.
funny how it takes so much hurt to find yourself in love.
that white is the symbol of death, yet the color of a dove.
why does it take so much of a lie to even tell the truth
coz sometimes what's false can be a comfort or used to soothe.
that happiness is a frugality and sadness is a joy,
the world waits for the moment for a girl to love a boy.
a friend could be your greatest enemy, a foe your charm of luck
and foe and friend when mixed in part, well, it kinda sucks.
it takes the night to makes us appreciate what we see in the day
why do the autumn buds in Shakespeare bloom but onli in may?
when you see a smile, be careful, it may be a pretence,
coz what you see isn't what you get, in any form of tense.
to take a hand and guide its place to a journey so far away
yet its that hand that tugs and pull my conscience leading me astray.
only with departure do one realise the value of a mate
and its only with departure do i realised that no one can trust fate.
so believe me when i say the at times you make me sigh,
coz you just take the whole of 'good' out of goodbye. -

Save the love
Love, ever so delicate
Shattered by perils of impulse
Words, ever so delicate
Misunderstood mien; Bond engulfed
Prevailing a sorrow ambience
Tears began to roll
With words contradicting actions
Lover to a foe
That was not to be
For promises were made
Eternal love weÂ’ve been endowed
Return our hearts to where it once laid
Bamboozled by fallacious mood
Your ambrosial features obscured
Devoirs were left unfulfilled
And sadness uncured
With enlightenment bestowed upon
May this affliction end.
Give our love an opportunity
An opportunity to mend
The worst there will ever be is over
The perfect love starts now
A perfect love led by us.
Truth affirmed; My Vow -

Without you
Wild wind, a howling mad man,
Out of control.
Angry storm, a pounding giant,
Out for my blood.
I am not afraid, humming away our song,
Dancing in the dark.
Going round and round in my final hour,
Into your waiting arm.
Guiding my soul into your world,
In a far away land. -

Out In Somewhere
O how I love to fall in love
To know what it is like
Where I had never felt before
Looking forward, never back
Never the present
But in front of me
C:
Like the tears raining on me
I felt their soul
Feeling their rays of love Â… Â… Â…
Closing my eyes, I will see you with my heart
There you are, out in somewhere Â…
Waiting for me to find you
But when I finally found you
You stand out of my grasp
Out of my circle, but yet within my life
Tantalizing me,
Deepening my sense of contentment
C:
Like the tears raining on me
I felt their soul
Feeling their rays of love Â… Â… Â…
Closing my eyes, I will see you with my heart
There you are, out in somewhere Â…
Waiting for me to find you
Waiting for me to find you -

Her Smile
Smile of hers,
Like a candy in her mouth.

Sweetness in the air.

Like light in darkness.
With the giving of
Warmth in the air.
Smile of hers,
Seems so pure and magical.
With the imprint deep down
My heartÂ…

KittynMeowÂ’s version
That smile of hers,
Like a candy melting in the mouth.
Diffusing sweetness
that fills the air.
That smile of hers,
Guileless like a newborn
With innocence and truth
that shines so fair
That smile of hers,
Like light in the darkness.
Showers me with warmth
and tender loving care
That smile of hers,
So pure and magical.
Leaves an imprint
deep down My heart, it's forever there. -

Phone Call
The twinkle in your eye,
That wistful smile,
You break into a grin
as you looked at the dial
With a gentle voice
You answered the phone
Saying sweet nothings
in a tender tone
The cheer of your laugh,
The joy on your face,
The bliss of being in love
Seem all melded in one place
A gentle goodbye
And a promise to meet
You ended your call
As you heard the sound of my feet
Who is it?
Who can it be?
For you were never so happy
if the call were from me
With a sad tear,
With heartbreaking sigh,
Realisation dawned
on this blunt mind
That for some time,
Someone else has come
to take that place
in your heart that was mine. -

Run to you
When skies are blue yet I feel dark clouds loom,
When all light shines yet my hope just fades,
When the days go on even though my love is gone
I want to run to You.
When smiles are given but tears flow deep,
When sweet dreams elude and gone was sleep
When memories of pain render me insane
I want to run to You.
When all seems fair but I feel despair
When loveÂ’s promise breaks like my heart pierced with stakes
When with sweet lies death does tempt
I want to run to You.
With faithful love, my fears, You waived
With merciful grace, my wrongs, You forgave
With healing kindness, my hurts, You embraced
IÂ’m forever thankful I ran to YOU. -

I never knew it'll turn out this way
I wished it was better that way
Since things had came such a way
I am glad I've decided to walk away
Never knew u'll ask me to stay
Since I already made up my mind that day
Never thought I'll still be so insane
To simply choose to stay -

Nothing seemed to ease the pain
The heartache deep within
The disappointment again i faced
Tears welled up in my eyes
I tried so hard to hide
My heart's in pain
So pain.. I felt really dazed..
Will all these go away?
How long will it take?
I can't seem to endure anymore
Heading back to my room
I broke down once again
No one knows
Only Heaven knows how i really felt deep inside. -

I never seemed to find e right words
To describe how this special feeling developed
I wonder why did i ever chose this path
It's simply a choice I've made so far
Many times I felt like letting go
Tears always accompany whenever things go wrong
I wonder how long this would carry on
If only I could just leave once and for all -

The lost soul emerged after the storm
It cries with such intense emotions
Yet no one knows
Strong and determined
Somehow weak and vulnerable deep within
Her inner soul tells her to let everything go
The images of what happened flash before her again
She remembers it vividly
She knows, she'll never forget what she saw
Though the heart aches
Though the pain might never cease
She told herself, it's still better to let go
The day will come soon
Where the memories will forever lingers within the soul
The pain will be gone when e soul is gone -

Empty
Blank piece of paper,
Staring back at me.
Tell me something! It demands,
Fill me with words and inspirations!
Fill me with emotions and senses!
Now! Now! Now!
Blank pieces of papers,
Staring back at the ceiling.
Near the empty basket,
Beside the shredding machine.
Beside another vacant work station.
Who will notice them? -

Dedicated to my Grandfather.. I just dreamt of him this morning @ 5.40am
You were here, with us
Always and forever
Though u're gone
Memories will forever linger
Dawn had just broken
I dreamt of you, so near
Before I could catch hold of you,
You were gone too swiftly then..
I wept and reminisce
The past was still too hard for me to comprehend
Still, you're gone
I could only think of the memories from now on. -

Wait
That night
A rainy and cooling night
I waited and waited
I simply waited
I waited till I fell asleep
I waited till the tears came
I waited till dawn broke
The call never came
I waited
Too long in my life
I waited for you too much
I waited for you, all my life
I still persists in waiting
I knew I could have given up
But still,
I waited and waited
I waited and stop waiting
Waiting should end
I can't wait any longer
The tears must stop
The pain must heal
The love must end
The broken heart should let it go
I stop waiting
I know it hurts so much
I can't wait anymore
Cos I dun wish to face disappointment again once more.. -

I knew I've lost
Lost you forever
Lost the love we shared
Everything we had
Time to move on
Let it heal
Let time prove
Just let me be alone
Unable to comprehend
The lies that were discovered
Lies which I thought were the truth
It turned out otherwise... -

A jog in e park
Releases the tension of my day
A warm shower or spa
Relaxs my mind and calms my heart -
A change
A change would do some good sometimes,
If only you would try.
A change can be for a better day,
A better type of life.
And because we are taught to be,
Good men all our lives,
A few seconds of evil thoughts,
I guess will still be fine.
A change might be for a better world,
And it might be for worse.
A change may affect our daily lives,
But to remain will be so dull.
Same routines, same procedures,
And even the same results.
Maybe just a little change,
Might improve us a lot.
The door is right in front of you,
But it will remain shut.
And if you want to see what lies ahead,
Do what you had not.

The journey
Life's a painful journey,
Those falls we have to take.
The road ahead seems bumpy,
But this journey we have to make.
Although we all grew tired,
And stop along the way,
But each time the distance covered,
Brings out another day.
Life's a painful lesson,
A teacher of great wisdom.
Those great men who had lived it,
Still yearned for it's greatness.
Picture says a thousand things,
But it can hardly teach.
It's only through experience,
That the answers could be reached.
Life makes a man grow up,
And makes him understand.
And when life is taken away from him,
This long journey will end.
David Jhee Wee Tan -
Believe
Nevermind!
It's alrite.
It's ok if you really tried,
Don't let go of the hope,
Slowly you will see the fruit.
And when everything around you came falling down,
Your guardian angel will come around.
Pick you up right from the ground,
Giving you the reason to smile
Please do believe you can achieve,
Even the most hardest of thing.
Believe in her and you'll see,
That one fine day you will succeed.

Broken Window Pane
Last night you came.
Just took your things and left.
Not a word spoken,
You left despite the rain..
You took away those memories,
Of times that we had spent.
Tears that were just raindrops,
That hit the windowpane.
You took with you the happiness,
A picture of us together.
When have you grown so selfish,
To leave and let me suffer.
Loneliness seems so alien,
Something I've never seen.
Last night you came my lovely,
And what a cruel move you've made.
I wished you had left me something,
A broken windowpane.

When We All Grew up
Things are really different now,
Things have changed alot.
Things ain't like they used to be,
Life seems too short.
Friends who were once by our side,
Who brought joys to our lives,
Nowhere to be seen tonight,
Just hoping they are alright.
We were all once just children,
Sharing laughters and joys.
We used to be so innocent,
No worries in our mind.
But as we grew older each year through time,
Problems comes to us.
As we get more sensible,
We can't find our trust.
I guess things are different now,
As we all grew up.
We all have our problems,
Guess that's what life is about.

Lane
I remembered holding hands,
Your lovely smile,
Your every kiss.
You used to walk this very lane,
This very way,
Those lovely day.
I used to hold you in my arms,
Hold you strong,
Holding on.
Looking back won't be the same,
All else changed,
What went wrong.
It's those things we believed in,
And hold on to our dreams.
Our feelings changes as we grew,
And slowly changes lanes.
Looking back and all had changed,
Nothing much remain the same.
No one anymore to blame,
And now we had changed lanes.

Should I Go Or Should I stay
Should I go or should I stay
Leave for somewhere far away
Lead a different kind of life
And leave all that I have behind
Should I go or should I stay
To face life's challenges along the way
And be with her through nights and days
To be her leading man always
It is quite tough a decision to make
To choose between the roads I'll take
If going means I'm running away
Will it be better off if I'll stay
If staying make me feel the pain
Then maybe it's right I'll leave this place
But if I'm to run away
How far can I run to
How long will it take to heal
Before I can really face you
The way I think I should

Love Gave Me The Strength
I've asked my heart these couple of months,
Question I'm searching for all these years.
I've asked my heart where it belongs,
And no one else came as near.
I've found the key, and it was you,
Who's always in my thought.
And it is you that I adore,
In you I found no fault.
So I've asked myself clearly,
Do I want to go through this again?
It's painful and it's hurting too,
But love gave me the strength.
I just want to make you happy,
Like the way the ocean treats the sand.
And it really doesn't matter,
If you not willing to hold my hand.
I guess, I think, I've fallen,
I want you to understand,
I'll be there for you till the end,
Because love gave me the strength.
