the clock strikes midnight
the ghost shuus
the cat stretches
the shadow falls behind
I am the goddess of the night

Contrast
If the world were black and white
only colours in my mind
the carbon I breathed out
would be crumbled woodchips
the air I inhaled
would grow fruit trees and garden plants
the words I spoke out
would be telegraphic frequencies
the messages I heard
would be effevescent poetry
If the world were black and white
only colours in my mind
the way I love you
would be a lullaby at night
the way you love me
would be a rainbow in the sky
Love is the barricade
I don’t have much good memories of you
Yet you managed to discard things tying me to the few
Do boundaries mean anything to you
How could I trust when I am not respected
You are not a child
No use to throw tantrums to get what you want
Certainly no use to hide your misbehavings
Chance is for whom taking it seriously
Only when I am gone you will stand to be a man
I am the floating jetty
Anchoring between you and your full potential
Affection
I weave you into my world
till overflowing laughter
I weave you into my heart
till beating evermore
The appointment
we ran into each other on a rainy day
the season of affection
you came like a breeze
brushing across my soul
no longer a wasteland
I held an umbrella
walking into your world
no longer perplexed
We met on a rainy day
the appointment of intimacy
Love in unity
Que Será Será
The rain whipping on the window panes all night long
like your wailing across Africa
it woke me like a Tibetan bell
My hair saturated in haze mist
I curled up in fetal position
longing for your embrace
There is no distance in oneness
the void between us is your haunting past
and my imprisonment
My love
I am calling for trust in timing
to be, or not to be
Kaleidoscope collection
Kaleidoscope is a collection of poems describing how I feel about a person in an intimate relationship.
Restless
you are over there
with a void
between your arms
i am here
a shivering body
without cover
Dark
I am capable of dark
when faced with your obsession
I’ve never promised you love
let love not be the string that weights down your soul
Your promise of one and only and eternity
shattered by the wild flowers lingered around your lonely heart
If I were the marrow of your bones
you so willingly broken for
If I were the air of your life
you so desperately gasping for
Let your cheating deceive me
Bury your confession to rot your conscience
Why treated me with contempt
choked me with your truth
My life was not ruined
instead, was on a marry-go-around
‘he can’t be trusted’ demon sound
tossed me from my peaceful island
each and every time
Now you prostrate before me
with a dagger twisted in your gut
pleading forgiveness for your obsessed soul’s release
My eyes on you are empty windows
Your gushing blood on my fingers like frost
I am capable of dark
when faced with your obsession
