Sunset at East Coast Park, Singapore
Taciturn she is.
Poignant views of the mortals
Silent forgiveness.
Sunset at East Coast Park, Singapore
Taciturn she is.
Poignant views of the mortals
Silent forgiveness.
View from the footbridge to Toa Payoh from Balestier Rd
Grabbed you for my own
Selfishly hoarding your mind
Tightly, you’ll crumble.
Looking down the path
Makes her cry with boredom.
Her eyes were glued downwardly,
Focused.
She has forgotten to look up,
Peripherally, there’s more life.
Until someone tapped her shoulder
Then she changed her gaze.
Her eyes glistened.
She saw how beautiful the other views are
and how wonderful the person who brought her
back to real world was.
Suddenly, her pearls of pain turned into golds of happiness.
She will forever treasure the one who awakened her.
Cold water of truth woke her up
From a deep dream on her lover’s lap
Masked with sugar, sweetness and beauty
She almost tasted eternity
Suddenly a chilly sensation poked right through her veins
She bled profusely, the whole body’s in pain
What’s pleasing to the buds suddenly turned astronomically sour, then bitter
Beyond control, she started to puke and jitter
Ethereal joy, her heart like glitter
Turned mundane, crushed, scattered a hundred meter
Her tears started to flood the dreamland
The brewing best tasty connection ever turned bland
She wanted to stab herself again and again
To get immuned to the reality, for her to gain.
Unpredictability scares her but much more certainty
She now bathes in iced water of certainty and truth
She’s blinded yet aware that this will in a few minutes kill her
This will kill her…
This will kill her…
Sanity.
