SWEET SERENADE

Rejoicing in your feel,
The best of being with you,
As we lay down on our backs,
And ruminate on what’s to come.

The convivial warmth;
Audibly ringing in your voice,
As your lips touch mine,
In this corporeal world of chimera!

My sensus communis screaming aloud;
Contradicting the intense passion searing within,
Cupid’s arrow was all but shot,
Making it however incapable to rescind.

In this phantasmal world all lost,
As we traverse into this desirous voyage,
Losing ourselves in this ‘eternal desire’,
Affecting us with sizeable warmth.

The light in your eyes reflecting mine,
Sustains me from this soul bearing resilience,
Unleashes me from the cosset I was swathed in,
While I writhe at the touch of your skin on mine;

I discover stalwart pride shining forth in those liquid brown eyes,
As they wordlessly say “now we’re one”.

GOD'S BEST GIFT

What is that I hear???
Oh! It’s them…
The feelings in her are hard to discern,
Whether gloomy or pleased?

What is that I hear?
Within this cocoon of comfort and belonging,
It’s him!
The confusion radiating from them is inscrutable.

The atmosphere suddenly so constricted,
As I hear the doctor talking to them.
The Doppler accentuating my tiny heartbeats,
The possible inquest I’m being subjected to.

And suddenly I hear everything turn ever so quiet,
Or i’m hearing nothing at all,
Are you there?
What’s happening, I cannot perceive…

What is that alien object I see?
So sinister, glittery and sharp,
Ouch mama! The thing is trying to reach me;
Make it stop! Take it out!
It hurts so,
My tiny frame cannot take this pain anymore…

There’s something floating all around in my sac,
I can’t do anything but swallow it all,
It’s burning thru’ my chest,
I can take this no more…

These hands ripped out from within you,
Are the same that would have held your finger,
They’re my petite feet that you would have led me on,
My face that would have brought a smile on many,
My tummy and chest in which my tiny heart has ceased to beat…

What could have induced you to do this to me mama?
Was there a plausible cause?
This tiny li’l me within you that was so looking forward,
To being held close to your heart…
Do you know I had already identified you as my own?
That I could smile, frown and cry even though you couldn’t see?
Could hear and respond to every single word you’ll articulated.

You will remember me, won’t you ma?
You won’t forget me, will you?

No… I think not…

I will not allow you to,
‘Cos I love you so much…

I know time is fatuous,
It’s led me away into world’s unknown…

…Away from that shimmering moment,
That would have been my infinitesimal life!

LOVE AGAIN

A phrase difficult, not impossible,
Thru’ this journey called life,
We will find many to Love;
Lasting Love is what we’re all looking for.

Love at first sight,
Or Love after meetings,
Eternal Love comes by only just once;
So fall in Love yet again.

Your first Love…
…No matter what you do or who you talk with!
It’s always lurking around,
Ever so hard to forget.

You might have loved with all your heart,
And yet it fell apart,
Questions arise, why and how?
When you hear it’s Time to say goodbye.

You know you loved true and so it hurts,
The pain you feel deep within is unfathomable;
But Time will take its toll,
And then you’ll feel the pain no more.

Love can leave a mark,
But that’s no cause to stand apart;
Attempt to stay strong,
Love is not always wrong.

It’s not too late,
Eventually you’ll find that special someone.
When you do, treasure it like God’s special gift,
Who knows? You might not find someone to Love again.

But then you might come across,
Someone who could be special;
Look deep into that special someone’s eyes,
Who knows? You might fall in Love yet again.

And when you do,
Hold it fast and close to your heart
Don’t ever take someone’s Love for granted
And then leave them disenchanted.

Indubitably a beautiful feeling,
It’s never too late to fall in Love all over again.
A simple matter of recognizing your true Love;
Whoosh! But it might come by when you least expect it.

Your first Love may not have worked,
That’s no reason not to fall in Love again.
Maybe things weren’t meant to be,
Forgive, forget, and let it go.

Look forward to meeting that special someone,
Who knows? You might have and haven’t realized so,
When you do you’ll know,
How important it is to know there is someone who'll care.

It’s not yet late,
Fall in Love…
…All over again.



- Dedicated to everyone who have had their hearts broken in Love.

THE CONCLUDING CHAPTER

I open my eyes...
…The feeling of numbness spreading all over,
“What’s wrong”? I ask.
“Why are you all here”?

Queries in a flippant tone,
To considerably lighten the mood;
Even though I know why they’re here…

Lying on my bed,
Everyone so hushed and numb;
The grief so blatant,
Oh! I could weep.

I hold back my tears,
As I find silent tears streaming down theirs;
Knowing where I’m headed to,
They just hold my hand and grieve.

I know the moment has come,
Time for me to pass on.
Oh! The depression all around,
“Don’t leave us”? I hear them utter.

We reminisce over the happy times we shared,
And the not so happy ones;
Making us giggle over all the silly things we did,
Memories to value and to remember.

A soundless soul footed at a distance,
I peek and find him standing so still,
Afraid to come near,
Terrified of losing his Love…

I stretch out my hands and call him near,
His presence so comforting, so near,
I put my hand on his chest and say,
“You’ll always find me here”.

Looking back through the years;
Mind-boggling for how long we’ve been friends.
Thru’ good times and in bad,
This shoulder has ever been my strength.

A call of distress or a moment of joy,
You were constantly there by my side.
Ever so precious our time together,
The sensation of severance so hard to accept.

Losing a loved one is not so easy,
Seeking solace more so a challenge,
Heaven is here when I am with you;
Clinging this to my bosom, I’ll move on.

The feeling so hard,
To lose someone so dear;
Death though is inescapable, leaves us with no choice,
The pain so cutting, yet inevitable.

I grieve for you my Love, I know memories will pierce,
But remember me with joy and gratitude to the one above,
For He kept us in love,
So what if the Time was short?

Death is prancing into the room,
Ebbing bit by bit out of me,
My vision is blurring,
Calm peace settling over my senses.

Is this how it feels like when people die?
Is it Him enveloping me in His protective embrace?
Are those angels smiling at me?
My loved lost beckoning me?

The world is blackening,
My friends are falling out of focus,
Can feel him take me in his arms…
…Can hear him pleading me to come back…
…His voice fading fast,
As I feel his lips on mine,
Whispering for the last ever time…
… “I Love You my Angel,
Please don’t go…”

IS IT YOU?

A shoulder to lean on,
Arms to hold me tight;
A presence I cherish,
An existence I hold close to my heart…

…Is it you I’ve been waiting for?

Eyes crinkling with brimming love,
A smile that reflects mine;
Tender lips to kiss away my worry lines,
That gentle touch of your fingers on my skin…

…Is it you my heart seeks?

That caring nature seeping through,
Lips uttering sweet nothings;
The look in your eyes,
So genuine, sincere and full of depth…


...Is it me they are reserved for?

Is it me you’ll love all your life?
Is it me you’ll cherish?
Is it me you’ll set on your heart’s throne?
Is it me you’ll honor?

Love is a new beginning,
Towards a better understanding,
If it’s me your heart seeks…

…Hold my hand and lead me on.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

A new day…
…A new beginning…

The sun creeping out silently;
Bodes well for the trials to come,
Makes me want to smile,
And jump about with joy.

You know why?
It’s because I know I have you,
Only a matter of time,
To draw back the curtains surrounding our hearts...

Heaven knows what we’d find!
Maybe Friendship, maybe Love.
Either one would be good,
To lift us up when we’re low.

If tomorrow I am gone,
Remember how well we got along.
If we never get to speak,
Remember, I love you and I care.
If we never meet again,
Remember me with warmth.
Think about all the times we shared,
Until we meet again.

As of this moment, shoot the melancholic thoughts!
For today, the sun is shining bright.
