My Lovely, Cosy Lady Chamber.

A lovely pair of curtains with white laces
Delicate pink flowers printed on light vanila sheers
A sweet loveseat with comfortable arms
Classic pleated skirts, silk cushions in carnation pink
White coated furniture in the room
A vintage floral table lamp, embossed with light pink rose petals
A classic white piano, with black keys too significant
White ceramic vase by the windows, still unoccupied by now

Sweet scent fills the delightful lady chamber
Pulling the curtains to the side, left the windows wide opened
Let the bright sunshine in, with gentle wind
There you came, offering a yellow rose with red tips
Here I am, still doubting whether it is perfect and right
For my plain vase to embrace it gracefully.

We Will Depart Again, Soon.

We will soon depart from each other again
I wonder when could we meet up again
My best friend, I wish you all the best
Don't forget, I am right here for you
And I will always keep you in prayers

This time, things has changed
Neither of us will be here from where we both first met
You will be in Famosa, and the Land of Hornbills for me
Both of us will start with our tertiary level degrees
I wish you all the best in your future undertaking

We exchanged cards on this last date
We wrote words, a reminder, a mindful thought
I remembered when you described yourself as a road
Don't know which way to go
Follow your heart and your dreams
Do not give up on this journey
Never say never, even if it's tough

I had secretly placed a matchbox in your backpack
When you are feeling alone and lost
Use the matches, lit it up
I hope it may aid you in getting help
Or guide you out.

How Can I Help You?

Listen to me, my dear friend
You are under stress
Out of nowhere, into the darkness
You hide yourself, never come out
Of the pit, the deadly black hole

I could see you being fearful
The hectic past, the uprising emotional torture
You reject further critics
You make your stand on every subject matter
All these are to cover your timid nature

I wish I could help you
As I could not bear to see you
Being fierce, when being intruded
Having sharp ends all over the body, like a porcupine
No one hurts you now
Just open your heart, let it go

Listen to me, my dear friend
Do not speak negativity over everything
Think of the worst
Only to generate greater positive outcomes
Do not lean towards terrible thoughts
That makes you hate everything
Yet making excuses for yourself

When you fall
I would love to help you up
But you refuses me to
How can I tell you
Beside standing up to walk immediately
You may just crawl over?

Listen To Them, The Life Travellers.

I would love to hear stories
The histories, the past experiences
The pain, the dark side
From others
Behind all smiles
There are sorrows engulfing the mind
Through trial and error
They gain from nostalgic pain

I would love to listen from them
The elders, the life travelers
Their acquaintances
What they had gone through
Who they had blend in with
Why they are them
These are meaningful parables
That open my eyes to the world

Never look down on anyone
Everyone has a different story
Yet to be told
To tolerate others in life
Be patient, listen close to them
Misunderstand is a deadly thing
To grow in maturity
Never complain, never stumble on others
Never to be afraid to take the first step

Learning from others
It might not be practical always
For my life
But it will be so inspiring
For me to grow in wisdom.

This is Not A Fairytale.

Once upon a time
A lovely princess who owns everything
Living in a beautiful palace
She gets everything easily
Does not have to strive hard
For whatever she desires
"Earning" is never a difficult task

Soon, her palace came under attack
The enemy seized power to rule the world
Like a glass, spontaneously break
Her world shattered into pieces
Colors in her life dimmed
As everyone starts to blame on her birth

There are no dream, no hope
Only a dark pitch of grieve
She starts to hide away her vulnerability
Bricks after bricks, she stays on guard
Locking up her own fragile heart
She prepares herself to be a warrior of her own

Met an elf with a deep blue eyes
He gave her a forest to protect others
He never helps her, instead
He makes allowance for her to learn
On her own, by solving issues
She learns to be a ruler

This is not a fairytale
This might be the end of her world
These words she keeps in mind
To grow in maturity
To grow in strength

The princess takes courage now
To face the world again
To defeat the enemies
She know there will be a miracle
Bound to happen
When Sun shines through the tree tops.

Rejection.

Lost in the middle of nowhere
I find myself trembling
My footsteps are heavy
My hands are cold
Everywhere seems to be an illusion
A gateway, a door to a brighter place
I do not know which way to go

Give me a sign, Lord
Show me the right door
Lead me to the right path
I see gloominess with fallen leaves
There is no damp ground
Cracked, famine-dried nature pavement
Nothing is left with me
My pockets are filled with sand
I dress like a beggar

Is this the end of the world?
Am I able to gain a second chance?
Feeling empty inside
I let myself down again
No confidence, no strength to lift my head up
Alone in the midst of strong hasting wind
I need to find a good riddance of the worst

Doors are never open always
It is good to be closed once in a while
By then, I will get ready
Be completely amazed
With a whole new world behind that door
Opened doors never surprise me.
All I need now, is the right key
Just have to make sure now what world I would like to see
And this is the only way to encourage myself
To overcome rejection in life.

Never Cherish.

Conflicts at work
Push me too hard to the edge
My boss is dominating, dictating
My colleagues keep matters to themselves
Without confidence standing in this battle field
I always know there is one person being there for me
I just barely cherish him.

Indulge in negative emotions
I cried and sound devastated on the line to him
Never the first time, I cut the conversation again
Used to his tenderness and care
I ignore his numerous phone calls after
I always know there is one person being there for me
I just barely cherish him.

Meet up with him after work
I throw tantrums on him, release tensions
He just kindly ask what happened
Give me presents, a few drawings of me
Saying there will be more for me
I always know there is one person being there for me
I just barely cherish him.

His two older pretty cousins come up to him
Asking him out for a chat
I wait alone for him at his house
Share religious views with his relatives
Complain about my working life to a friend
I always know there is one person being there for me
I just barely cherish him.

He come back with his cousins
They look sulky, shifting their eyes at me
I know they must have told him something
Holding his hands tight, walk with him back to work
Pestering him with suspicions and questions
I always know there is one person being there for me
I just barely cherish him.

He give me answers finally
I want a break up, he speak out
Heartbreaking, I cry and yell at him
Why didn't you break up with me earlier
When I haven't love you this much
I always know there is one person being there for me
I just barely cherish him.

I missed how he looked at me in the eyes
I wish to get his phone calls again
I never told him I love his drawings of me
I loved the way he held my hands tightly
Staying with me no matter how his family rejected me
I always knew there is one person being there for me
I just never cherish him.

Make A Choice.

You have little money left in your pocket
Will you spend it on an ice cream
Or save it up for the next bus fare?
You have a bottle of water
Will you quench your thirst
Or use it to clean your bleeding wound?
You have a recycle bag in hand
Will you reuse it for the next grocery shopping
Or put it aside, left forgotten?

Life is a sum of choices
It might not be easy to make a decision
When people around gives you different opinions
Saying things that confuses you
Don't worry, stand firm in what you believe
You know what is best for yourself
You know which path best suits your hopeful journey
Never give up believing in your dreams
But never turn down good advices from others
These allow you to get a clearer picture
These add-ons may direct you to better choices.

Whether decisions made is beneficial or damaging
It is a choice of yours made in life
Do not make it a regretful one
As you can never collect spilled milk back together again
Always consider the effects and consequences
As a cracked vase can never be perfect again
If you decide to get a new vase later
Make sure this time you will handle it with care
If you cannot afford a new vase
Turn the cracked vase around
I'm sure there are perfect spots on the vase
That outshines the flaws.

Leave the past and move on
If you can't find a way to mend it well
Heavy rain and mists blurred your windscreen
Just make sure your windscreen wipers operate well
And you are being cautious and alert
Then you are able to take a better view of the road ahead of you

The Ocean.

Stepping towards the shore
Little shells and stones beneath my feet
Waters running through my wiggling toes
I know I am getting closer
To the ocean, the heart of sea lives
Lowering my body into the waters
Put on my snorkeling mask
I am leaving the shore.

Beneath the surface of the ocean
I find peace from the tiniest noises
Had my life vest on
I leave behind worrying thoughts
Away from the city life
This is one precious moment that I could wish for.

Further away from the ocean
I see corals and fishes
This is the nature, the gift from God
Paused for a moment, widen my eyes
I wish this moment could last forever
It is only further away from the shore
Where I could see varieties of colorful fishes
It is only by going into the deeper ocean
Where I could see beautiful corals
With little lives depending on them.

Have some white bread in my hand
I see fishes swimming towards me
Spread out the little soaked bread crumbs
They grab hungrily, aggressively
I am thrilled with the close distance with them
They are moving around me, in front of my eyes
Beautiful, amusing, jubilant
I seized the moment.

Stepping towards the future
I will have to face issues, difficulties
But with the treasures in life that I foresee
With courage, I will take charge and pace forward
Leaving away from the safe zone.

I will not be able to see beautiful fishes now
But I will see them, together with the beautiful corals
Further away from the shore
When I have more bread crumbs in my hand.

Ladies, Please.

Fancy dresses, beautiful gowns
Branded handbags, chic high heels
Ladies love to be pampered with all these
But ladies, please
Do not make yourself seems like a fool
Do not let men take advantage on you

Elegant accessories, expensive watch
Cosmetic products, a perfect hairdo
These are what ladies would wish for
But ladies, please
Do not lose your dignity, your pride
Do not let men hit and run on you

You are just beautiful in your way
You look fantastic the way you are
Do not lose your confidence, your life
You will shine like a diamond in the sky
Get rid of this trend, this nonsense
You will see the good coming
When you cherish yourself

Ladies, please do take care of yourself
A good man will love you as you are
A wise man will know how to pick his woman of life
Do not break a family apart, even if it is on rocks
Make a stand, say no if you can
You will see blessings pour out to you
In your delicate hands

Some women struggled to fight for their rights
They never have voice over men
They cannot speak out, escaping the tornados and fires
Imagine how they wish to get out of the lion's den
But why you, modern city ladies
Choose to fall back into the den?
Do not let yourself an ashamed mistake
And make men a humiliated joke.

You get what you want
Are you truly satisfied and happy now?

My Valentine.

Fourteenth of February
A special date for lovers
Whole world around
Flowers, chocolate, teddy bears
Sweet and lovely
Pink and red
Fragrance of love fills the air.

It is a promised date
Between me and her
The one who influenced me most
The one who stood by me most
The one who shared joy and sorrow
With me
Regardless of different family background
And level of maturity with the way we think.

We are neither in intimate relationship
Nor just normal friends
Unimaginable, border-less, extravagant
Are words to describe stuffs that we do together
Sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter
All flavors interpreted by taste buds of life
Together we conquer and uphold
A special relationship bonded by us
Of which is worthy to be cherished.

People around asked
Why do you not engage in a relationship?
I have a very best friend
That I can share everything with
That I can have the freedom to be just me
That I don't have to hide my feelings to
Being engaged in relationship
To me, a word - sensitive.

Fourteenth of February
A special date for lovers
Whole world around
A special date for both of us
Through our journey of friendship
We will soon be apart
To pursue our dreams
But will never be forgotten
Any either ways.

Fourteenth of every month
Is our day
White and Purple.
Pink and Red.

Grouchy Conflicts.

Just a little flighty
Just a small issue
Leads to a huge quarrel
Some of silence, some of loud
Every bit of these
There are no peace.

At times
An argument started when there is distrust
A fight occurred when there is irritation
A battle triggered when there is no accommodation
A war took place when there is no reconciliation

Don't you know, with a little kind words
An argument can be avoided?
Don't you know, with a little self-control
A fight can be avoided?
Don't you know, with a two-way agreement
A war can be avoided?
All cryings, resentment, sufferings and lives
Can be saved and well cared for
Better times

Holding back is a great thing
Stepping back can bring better advantage
Clenching your fist about everything is not a solution
It isn't everything that needs to be clarified
It isn't everything that have to be sensitive about
Be nice, do right and smile
That's the best revenge to stumble your enemy
Enemy can't do bad if you are at good terms
Even if they will
It wouldn't be a glorious victory to them
Winning with harsh actions is not pride and dignity
But winning with right attitude
And good riddance of worst situations
That is.

Think before you act
Frustrations will do no good
So be calm, or just walk away
There are much more in life that benefits
There are many things pending to be well done
Dealing problems with prudence is a great win.

Just a slight smile
Just a little patience
Leads to a better ending
Some of joy, some of peace
Every bit of these
Pleases people all around
Pleases yourself
Pleases God.

Personal Vehicle Driver.

Gripping on the steering wheel

Heading to my destination

Here I am, ready

To meet the world with a brand new start

Through this realistic private space of mine

I would observe, watch and learn

Car models tell the driver's behavior

Driving skills indicate the driver's personality

Every private vehicle bears a resemblance to its owner

Dad once told me

A vehicle with bumps and bruises

Usually driven by an impatient owner.

Blissful ones let you pass first

Calmed ones drive slow

Impatient drivers hasten

Considerate ones thought for you

Rude ones will not hesitate

To put you through great annoyance

Aggressive ones puzzle you.

Different peoples meet in life

When you are pacing forward

Some slows you down

Some are generously kind to you

Some creates anger and frustration

Some will be harsh to you

To make sure lessons learned

Or just to cause you harm.

When you stop by, or being slow

People will bypass you, leaving you behind

How would you react

Depends on how you think of it

Will you work hard and the very best you can

To move forward with greater speed?

Or will you prefer slow and steady?

The thing that matters most

Is reaching the same destination

Or travel in total different directions

Safe and sound.

Hands off the steering wheel

Arrived at my destination

Here I am, ready

To meet the world with another perspective of view.
