I Can Hear… (Poetry)

I can hear the whisper of the wind as it whipped by me

It felt like an angel’s kiss, wishing me good luck today

I can hear it whistle as it passed by a sturdy tree

Reminding me to be as strong as I faced each new day.

I can hear the birds singing  as it hopped from tree to tree

They sing songs of lullabies and of endless love so true

They sing songs of hope for a desolate person like me

These songs somewhat took me out of the depths of feeling blue.

I can finally hear the peaceful beating of my heart

Til when will I enjoy this calmness is yet to be seen

I pray that something good in my life will finally start

That will take away or, at least, ease my loads of burden.

Still in Limbo

I’ve been to limbo, all the way and back

Shouldn’t I feel alright and without lack?

But why do I feel I’m still without luck,

Still tied up and bound, with a key and lock?

Life is Like… (Poetry)

Life is like a book,

     At the turn of pages

          A chapter is unfolded.

Life is like a battle

     You must give your everything

          In order to win the big fight.

Life is like a journey

     With more steps you make

          The end comes near.

Day of Protest (Poetry)

Today marks a historical day

That we’ll never forget any way

Because it has become part of past

From which learning lessons is a must.

Today, in commemoration

Of history of our nation,

A Day of Protest was declared

That all grievances may be aired.

If only my own cries can be heard 

If making protests won’t be so weird

Is there really someone who cares

For the people who live like paupers?

Not Alone After All (Poetry)

Is it merely coincidence or is it my fate

That I have been struggling very hard as of late?

But I do not think I am suffering alone

From such a harsh life that I seemed to have been born.

All around me, people sigh and can’t help but groan
At how diff’cult life was for everyone, they moan

Listening to them complain and talk about it

Somewhat pacifies me and comforts me a bit

For then I felt God has not forsaken me yet

And the thought bolstered my once discouraged spirit.

Alone in the Wilderness (Poetry)

I am lost in the wilderness

Shouting for help without success

I trod along with my head bowed 

From much uncertainty, I’m cowed.

Day in, day out, it’s all the same

I look around, no one came

Will all my days remain like this?

Will someone out there help me please?

Tremor (Poetry)

As suddenly as it began, it stopped

Without any warning, it just attacked

A murmur, a wee tremor, a flutter

My heart will tremble, what’s this, I wonder?

The Visit (Poetry)

(Dedicated to my Father-in-law)

It’s been a while since we last met

But fate must have already set

This date for us to meet again

Good memories we must retain.

Looking forward for the next year

Hoping you’ll pass by again here

Bringing with you jovial spirit

We’ll miss you ’til your next visit.

Euphoria (Poetry)

A feeling of intense excitement or delight,

The biggest smile on my face is such a rare sight

Quite comparable to an incandescent light

I wish I can stay that way all day and all night.

To My Beloved Daughter (Poetry)

(Sorry for the delay in the publication. This should have been posted on Wednesday. Having problems with internet connection. Huhuhu!!! Belated Happy Birthday, Nak!)

Into this harsh world I brought you
With a hope of a bright future

Between me and my love so true

And the children we’ll have for sure.

You knew how hard we toiled and tried

All throughout the years of your life

But no matter how much we strived

We cannot escape lots of strife.

It sometimes feels like we have failed

In our endeavors, promises

But we hope you do understand

And work hard for your own success.

To you, my daughter, all my love

And all the best wishes I give

May God bless you and keep you safe

Success be yours through all the years!
