    Expressing myself better through writing.



    Poetry

    Sleepless

    Keeping late nights,

     

    Trying to find sleep on my own

     

    Tossing from one end of the bed to the other,

     

    Eyes as dry as that of an owl.

     

    Not a trouble, not a worry,

     

    Up because of a muse within

     

    Pressing me up and wanting to spill,

     

    Hence shaking every bit of me.

     

    As I keep glancing at my table in the corner,

     

    I see my sheets anxiously calling.

     

    My pens jingle and smile at me,

     

    Anxiously waiting to pen the feeling down.

     

    Can't find rest until I cooperate.

     

    The consequence when I refuse writing

     

    It keeps me awake and seizes my peace,

     

    Till I write it out, then can I sleep.

    My Lady

    Tell me what you wish for,

    all I need is what you need.

    Whenever you need succour,

    I'll gladly yield myself to help.

     

     

    Your smile disseminates rays of hope,

    I can hardly look away from it.

    With you I know I can cope,

    cos our connection is gainly fit.

     

     

    Whenever your hand holds mine,

    I bounce forth and bubble.

    My being rejoices because you are mine,

    thus no one can make me grumble.

     

     

    Though the crowd makes me fret,

    your presence gives me strength.

    You embody many precious things,

    I'm glad I found you out quick.

    Goodbye Anger

    You came along with your bags,

    All arranged and looking neat.

    To find a place for a vacation,

    To spend quality time within.

     

     

    To your surprise, the door was shut.

    No one welcomed you like before.

    You questioned yourself countlessly

    And tried knocking even harder.

     

     

    All your efforts left no reward.

    The bloody deal had finally ended.

    There's no more room for you in there,

    Embrace your shame and take your leave.

     

     

    The damage you caused was terrific.

    Never again will you get that chance

    So carry your bags and cease knocking.

    You're not welcome here, never again.

    Sunset and Feelings

    A wide plain covered with setting rays

    Warm scented air blowing through the aisle

    Tweeting sounds I hear from the birds;

    Sweetens my heart and melts all worries

     

     

    Capturing every moment results in a hypnosis

    Suddenly my eyelids kiss each other

    My chest raises and slowly lowers,

    Breathing that makes me feel sky-high

     

     

    The trees dance to the rhythm of the wind

    I gladly join the moment in my mind

    A smile graciously falls without effort:

    Enchantment by nature is absolutely gay.
