Cancer

A wife, one day she awoke
To see her husband sleeping
She kissed him good morning
Seeing not the terror creeping
The mother sat with her family
Her children babbling away
She smiled unnasuming
That hell would break loose today
She felt some fatigue, but let it pass
"It's nothing to worry about"
Till all day did her body ache
And she felt a twinge of doubt
She waited in the asylum-white room
The odour of medicine in the air
With a number for a name, she walked
Head on into the nightmare
In a daze like a wooden puppet
She let them probe and prick
The man in white, he shook his head
"Ma'am I think you're very sick"
She did not understand him
"How sick am I?" asked she
He scribbled in a pad and said
"I'll send you to Oncology"

Easy Trust
Why stranger do you listen
To my angst and sorrow
How does your act
Sponge away my pain
You find my fingers
Your heart beats
With my ever aching heart
You taste my tears
Stranger, I do not know
Where you head
Yet, I lay bare all
The shadows of my past
You speak not in reply
But the fever ebbs away
Like a line of mercury
In a thermometer
These moments you hear
My quivering voice, I try
To hide myself and my tears
But you set them free
Stay stranger, I shall unveil
Your mysteries
Let us ease our loneliness
Let me discover your shadows
To my angst and sorrow
How does your act
Sponge away my pain
You find my fingers
Your heart beats
With my ever aching heart
You taste my tears
Stranger, I do not know
Where you head
Yet, I lay bare all
The shadows of my past
You speak not in reply
But the fever ebbs away
Like a line of mercury
In a thermometer
These moments you hear
My quivering voice, I try
To hide myself and my tears
But you set them free
Stay stranger, I shall unveil
Your mysteries
Let us ease our loneliness
Let me discover your shadows

Love
The moonlight's glitter on the ocean
Couldn't be as beautiful as love
A flower in springtime bloom
Couldn't be as joyful as love
A snowflake on a tree branch
Couldn't be as delicate as love
The fiery hot glare of the sun
Couldn't be as passionate as love
A star studded midnight
Couldn't be as magical as love
A footprint upon a golden coast
Couldn't be as ephemeral as love
The blood flowing through every vein
Couldn't be as life-giving as love
The forest sawed down that regenerates
Couldn't be as forgiving as love
A shower of rain in the desert
Couldn't be as soothing as love
A fantastic insect with glittering wings
Couldn't be as alluring as love
The wind that carries a kite
Couldn't be as uplifting as love
And yet, a plague across the nations
Couldn't be as devastating as love
Couldn't be as beautiful as love
A flower in springtime bloom
Couldn't be as joyful as love
A snowflake on a tree branch
Couldn't be as delicate as love
The fiery hot glare of the sun
Couldn't be as passionate as love
A star studded midnight
Couldn't be as magical as love
A footprint upon a golden coast
Couldn't be as ephemeral as love
The blood flowing through every vein
Couldn't be as life-giving as love
The forest sawed down that regenerates
Couldn't be as forgiving as love
A shower of rain in the desert
Couldn't be as soothing as love
A fantastic insect with glittering wings
Couldn't be as alluring as love
The wind that carries a kite
Couldn't be as uplifting as love
And yet, a plague across the nations
Couldn't be as devastating as love

Poetry
when language like bubbling streams flow
when words are laid down to fit like lovers' hands
when you feel the essence of the poet from within
when swirling thoughts are caught in the net of rhythm
when images reel as you read
when pen and paper create a symphony
then, it is poetry
when words are laid down to fit like lovers' hands
when you feel the essence of the poet from within
when swirling thoughts are caught in the net of rhythm
when images reel as you read
when pen and paper create a symphony
then, it is poetry
