cause he loves me
and loves you too

that this will never end

dont pull away when im falling
hold me close
when im crying

i dun want this to end
i dunno wats going on
could you hold my hand?

Perth

sweetheart's gone down under
we're away from each other
for the longest time ever
my heart's aching for her

but i guess the hurting aint that bad
cause we'll be seeing eah other
so there's no need to be sad
she aint gone forever

she's over at the city of perth
a miilion miles away from me
at least we share the same moon
and i know she'll be home soon

the days will go by
so there's no need to sigh
we're looking at the same sky
that makes me feel that you're nearby

although we're so far apart
you're here with me in my heart
thank goodness you're not gone forever
or i'll just get weaker

the girl i deeply love
is so far away in perth
between me and her
is the longest distance on earth

don't worry,
i'm not resentful
cause i know she'll be home soon.

Yellow Car

anoher one goes by
there're so little of them
but we can always find one
and you always beat me to it

however this goes
we'll never know how many there are
but i'm sure there are those who know
how is it like to ride a yellow car

i'll always wonder how many times
you beat me to a yellow car
but i know for sure
i'll take time to be on par

you're never too far
whenever i see a yellow car
it always reminds me of your smile
and it'll take me the extra mile

I Miss

two words running around me
the feelings swamp the room
you're all i see
i think i'm a little woozy
it might be the full moon
i wish i could see you soon
i know what you're thinking
i think that's how i feel
i'm getting crazyy
but really, that's how i feel

i miss, i miss, i miss you
touch me once again
and i'll be alright
i don't care if you think i'm insane
but i just want to see you tonight

memories of you around me
all your words from 'a' to 'z'
the stuff i hear and feel
i'm getting incoherent
but all i feel is you

hold my hand and let's fly
i'l take you around my topsy turvy world
where nothing's right side up
and everything's in a whirl

i miss, i miss, i miss you
kiss me and i'll get crazy
rest your head on my shoulders
i'll never be alright
or maybe it's just me

call me crazy
wake me from my dream
but although it may seem
upside down
wrong way around
topside up
and absoulutely nonsensical

i think i'm alright.

Tigers

watched your tears
upon your striped body
didnt think you had fears
in the midst of majesty

the times you ran with agility
through the forests and trees
nowhere never seemed to far
when you could run and jump

i'll never hear you roar
the times your pride
gave you wings to soar
it was then you were such a sight

your beuaty stripped by age
time never has any mercy
your dying body's only a cage
let go and run free

Winter (As Snow Falls)

snow falls,
pretty crystals on the front garden
little souveniers i can't keep,
they'd look nice on you

far from home,
my heart aches thinkng of you
tears fall,
one with the deep snow

how cold can it get
when you're not with me
how much can i take
you seem too far away

winds blow and lakes freeze
i call your name
accompanied by the gloomiest sight
i've ever seen

december offers no comfort
she's too cold for me
how i long for your hand in mine
and listening to you saying my name

fir cones and snowmen
the children play and i envy
if only you were here with me
then i'd be smiling along

its never too cold
when you say you love me
winter can never overcome
the warmth of your touch

this silly boy's getting all depressed
maybe he's lovesick
longing for you
hold him,

as snow falls.

superman

nothing on the physical plane
can match up to me
even if its world war 3

i could fly and i can soar
the clouds are my companions
providing meditative silence
and fear to those who come near

nine to five's never enough
superman don't do minimum stuff
the only break i take
is when i change my clothes

iisn't it enought for everyone"
hungry mouths are fed and
innermost desires satisfied
yet i can't save you
from a broken heart

high flying and famous
i never knew you could want more
the world's at peace
yet a tempest rages

superman don't exist
maybe only in my world
cause he can save everyone else
but can't be there
for the ones he dearly loves

the world's in one piece
but your world's come apart
just like your heart of yours
which you entrusted me to keep.

tears fall now and then
superman ain't real
he's a coward, running away
from he very problems
he could solve

running away and finding excuses
in his world where everything's perfect
and everyone's satisfied.

superman dont say sorry
superman never dies or gives up
but superman's only a facade
he's only a mere mortal.

Love is like a rose without the flower
It hurts when you get closer
When you want to give up
The thorns stab your heart
How can I hold on?
The bleeding just won’t stop

It hurts me so to choose
I want to hold on
But its getting messy
I can’t hold them in
Seeing you hurt by me

Why is love so full of thorns?
Its something I can’t grasp
All I want is to be there
But I’m too messed up.

Love is like a rose without the flower
Green, stark, ugly and hard to hold onto
How can it blind anyone?
But its got me.

Why don’t you just give up on me?
It’ll make things so much easier
Throw this rose away
It’s ugly and hurts me so.

I’m holding onto thorns
I’m bleeding, my heart crying
It hurts me
but all I want is to hold on.

*will u read this? juz leave me lying, i'm too proud to ask you......*

Thirty

how special is this number to you?
the thirtieth entry here
it sure is special to me

i never knew i'd come so far
thirty pieces here and there
i'm still in one piece

the valleys' always seem
dark and dangerous
but they're worth it

the mountain tops
in humanity dun come by often
we always seem to stumble

falling failing finishing last
what's new you ask me
the lessons learnt!

every failure brings us closer
to who we're meant to be
so don't give up

so here i stand
thirty entries
how have i grown?

Katrina

the winds tore through
the town i knew
the rains swept away
the good ol'times i know

how could this be
the friends i knew
had all left me
they dont know how i feel

katrina came and she shouted
she roared and screeched
we felt the pain
i was numbed by her

coming uninvited and unwanted
bursting down the door of my home
taking my mother along
and leaving me briused and hurt

couldn't you have had more mercy?
on the poor like me?
now i'm so far away from home
and far away from memories

katrina you didnt have to do what you did
taking mom, dad and siblings
katrina i'm too tired to feel angry
i'm too depressed to shout back

katrina's angry tears flood my driveway
my tears flow
i cant stop them
let me cry here



*dedicated to the victims of hurricane katrina; do not give up*

geraldine

just to see you for one more day
the desire worsens the pain
its been so long, yet we're still the same

oh geraldine
just another day beside you
oh geraldine
although these feelings tell me otherwise
i know i aint what you need

i'm over here always looking out
i dont know if i should wait
maybe i should just leave

but not before i say what
might destroy who i know
yet words elude me
and your smile blinds me

geraldine,
i always wondered why
how two people can come so close
yet still remain so very far

catching those precious tears
watching for your every step
yet i cant come any closer
than where we are now


*resemblence to any person, living or dead, is purely coincidental and unintentional*

Loser

have i lost it?
the words dont seem to rhyme no more
can't seem to flow and simple terms
suddenly elude me

i think i've lost it
can't see straight or feel right
emotions shouldnt take control
but they didnt

i think i've lost them all
cant make you understand
wanna scream out but words
suddenly elude me

the picture painted doesnt come out right
trying to debut once again
but the layoff's been long
i think i've lost it all

yet this still appears
somehow miracles still happen today
i'm still shattered but i'm fine
have i lost it?

Tears Of God

tears of God that fell to earth
with him crying out loud
with anguish and deepest pain
his tears fell to those that rejected

taking on man and his limitations
he chose to fall under men's evil
flogged and mocked
even his friends left him

he wept over a dead man
and healed a countless many
nature didnt dare oppose he
who created the earth

how did he feel on that cross
crying his heart out
to one who turned his back on him
did he cry and did he weep?

those tears that continue to flow
can one so great be hurt by me?
he cries over humanity
and weeps over insincerity


why did they flow to earth
those tears of God
such deep concern for me
a love so great fear is afraid

tears of he who made me
becoming man like me
understanding and not judging
my tears are not enough

on nights so cold and lonely
where i've wondered in search
for pastures i thought were better
i hear His voice calling me
by name and I know His voice

despite tasting His words
that are as sweet as honey
still i looked for something
i thought was better
yet the world
couldnt offer peace like Yours

i've come to know the extent
of my sin that nailed You to the cross
my knees are stiff no more
my eyes no longer dry
as i fall on my knees
crying out in distress

He is faithful
and never lets go
i searched for Him
i drew near to Him
and He was there

He has forgiven me!
as i lie in His arms
knowing the peace i once forsook
knowing the slate has been wiped clean!

Reach

just so i could see your smile
the stars never seem far enough
but i'll bring them to you
or i'll bring you to them

reach out for you
you never seem to far away
though its your face i see
i wish you were reaching out as well

just so i could be with you
the world never seemed smaller
nor the rivers or seas any dangerous
i'll cross them all with my life at stake

i'm reaching out for you
but all i can do is to watch from afar
to watch every tear fall
and yet unable to do anything at all

why are we so apart
in times like this
where the world should've been smaller
yet i can't even see you face to face

reaching out for empty space
yet i still see your face
in empty dreams
you're still so far away from me

love

its night and i've left with ten minutes
to pen this and hope someone reads this
the moon is shining brightly outside
and how i wished she was with me

just to be in love with someone isnt easy
the cool night comforts me as i write on
i ask for more time yet the clock stares on
why is it she seems so near yet so far away

its not easy they always say yet its just too hard
to go on and not look side to side and inside out
others have what i want as the green eye of jealousy
envies the time others have with and spend with

the night beckons i must retire yet the moon shines on
the light isnt enough to light my way but i'll stumble on
if you were here with me what would you tell me?
if i was there with you, how would you look like?

The Rose

placed upon memories
of times gone by
both bitter and sweet
now he's gone by

leaving many in tears
and loved ones in question
age didnt matter
but he's timeless smile did

the rose she held in her hand
trembled and shook
wet with tears
it dropped

the rose fell upon him
along with tears of grieve
she collasped on her knees
fists on the cold wood

all she has left
are memories
all she ever wanted
was one more day spent with him

yet it ended too soon
as he left her behind

the rose
lies on top of the wood
cold and emotionless
yet warm with tears

and her memories

smile on sunshine

how will i hold on
so many years to prove my love
i'll take day by day
for tt smile on sunshine

life will throw its stroms
and its fair share of angry moments
but with u by my side
the sun will shine

how long will this last
i cant say for sure
i dun like promises
tt disappoint

but one thing's for sure
i'll be there i'll do my best
for my sunshine
and the smile tt tops it

sword

metal gleems on a polished hilt
wielded by feelings of someone
i do not know
it stabs twists and wrenches

my heart's out of place
stabbed repeatedly
im on my knees
holding on to the blade

seeing blood flowing from my hands
yet i will not let us go
the hilt bears my tears
as it nears my heart

the sword
draws deeper
i can feel no more
numbed and unaware

missing

miss youre vioce
even though its the
only sound in my head
miss seeing you
even though youre all i see

i dont like this silence
of both of us not talking
it hurts me so
i'll never let go

missing youre presence
even though youre with me
in dreams and empty spaces
miss talking to you
and im wondering
if you miss me too

it hurts to be away
when days become weeks
and when i cant remember
your smile, your laugh, your touch

i miss you, i really do
once isnt enough
im seeing you in dreams
im crying hurt tears

i miss you
i really do....


*dun get too worried, i guess i need to deal with everything inseide of me....and hopefully this helps*

tomorrow

one more day till i'll finally know
how it will be for us both
maybe we'll continue maybe we'll separate
but i can only wonder

will we have the chance to talk things through?
maybe we wont even get the chance
so many questions unanswered
so many questions yet to come

maybe thats why life's a thriller
maybe thats why life's so hard
but i hope we'll find the answers
by tomorrow

keep up

when the storms come
when you feel like giving in
keep ur head up
every cloud
has its silver lining

i'll keep up, i wun give in
patience my dear
im sure time will help
maybe we cant talk now
but im sure we'll work things out

i'll wait for ur answer
and i hope ull stay

this can come to a happy ending
its up to us
whether we'll stay
or let this go.

silence

that's the sound i hear
thats Him when He's near
I know there's nothing to fear
Even though He doesnt say anything

When the waves of human emotion
threaten to bring my faith to destruction
when i stumble, fall and sink into depression
His grace is sufficient,
His wisdom spoken through words of silence

Through the storms of life
through sorrows tears and strive
of men's taunts and hurtful lies
He's there for me, working in everything
silent as He can be

When i cry out to the heavens
when all is lost and forsaken
When i seem to get no answer at all
His silence convicts me
and saves me from my fall.

For through His silence,
He says: "Be still and know that I am God"

missing you (till it hurts)

miss ur vioce
even though
ur the sound i hear
miss seeing u
even though
ure all tt i see

every moment
i spend dreaming abt u
somehow it brings me closer
to the time i can see u

time doesnt wait for me
neither does it help us be together
i dont want to question why
for i fear asking in vain

miss talking to u
any other way
doesnt seem right
miss being w u
even though
ure w me in dreams

i try to reach across the distance
yet no matter how i try
ur hand is too far away
for this aching heart of mine

i dun want to be missing u
it hurts me too much sometimes
yet i dun want to let go of u
coz i dun want to hurt u

i scream why
i want to give up trying
i dont know why
we're so far apart
yet so close at heart

i still miss u
even though i try not to
i try to let go
to no avail

i scream, i cry out loud
in futile attempts
to alleviate the pains
of my aching heart.

roses words and love

scented and pleasent
though thorns it has
yet the joy it brings

things my heart can give
some money cant buy,
some only words can provide

things i'd love to give
i guess even roses nor words can bring
just care concern and affection

roses words and love
three things i strive to bring
maybe a single stalk
a phrase or an assurance of commitment

so heres to hoping,
ull accept all gifts i bring
tangible or not
i strive to hear u laugh
and to see u smile
and to prevent any tear.....

paper slip

she handed me a paper slip
folded neatly on a rectangle
my heart's in a flurry
its hard to entangle
what mistakes ive done in the past
when it all comes to haunt me
try as i might i cant stand fast
all my worries have gotten the better of me

the paper slip lies as it once was,
blue ink leaks through
revealing the shadow of words
that i worry to see

courage and strength fail me
as i struggle to open the slip
it lies taunting me
haunting me with memories
tt shdnt have been

mistakes tt were made
of times i was in a hurry
and things tt i said
the consequences are to great
for me to bear
worries to much for me to handle

all in a moment's past
my hands' stuck fast
to the paper slip
tts the source of my worries
it burdens me
to the extent i'd rather not look
why did i say the things i said
im burdened by regret
over the emotions i held

and the thoughts i now hold.

Search

feeding off the emotion,
drowning in the wave of emotion
lost in the emotive beats, rythm and blues

puuling a guitar string,
running away from questions
messing up everything

fighting alone,
soaring and never flying
dreaming alone

leaving them behind,
ever changing
souls quench for more

thirsty and hungry
falling on torn dreams
burnt by the fires of depths

let me break free
try to be me
try to let u see
its all tt can be

im standing here waiting in vain
trying thru the pain
im going insane

just for ur touch
ur words of speech
why must someone hold u back

i want to be free
i hope u see me
im all tt i can be
i know u see me

why must u be held back
why cant i bring this to one higher level
why?

singapore

to a home so far away
down streets of memory lane
sitted on waters calm
hopes and dreams all in one

i go down the road
back where i started
memories of loves
leaves, rain and of her

take a plane ride home
i see her there, distant far away
written notes of love
oh lead me home to u

daytime sunny sunshine
streets of straight uprights
never snowing maybe stormy
thats her home and mine too

we sing we danced we lived
oh it was so long ago
on that little land of ours
singapore our lil refuge

though it never was the best
with everything anyone could hope for
i'd take her anyday
sailing on winds just us alone

time dont change everything
but it doesnt wait for no one
im glad she found me
im glad we're together

dont matter where love was
i know its still with us
love stories still bloom
on our island so hidden away

moment

all i ask is a moment from u
time spent with candles and stars
a moment so long to end

just one stroll with u
down the streets of hearts
one moment for u

to me an eternity
every momnet spent with u
dont go

watches

silver lined gold frames
jewel encasted
with times signature
they never stop

falling from towers so high
lost in the chaos
bringing tears to loved ones
metal faces ever stern

cruel irony written
on their faces
the sad truth faces them all
time does what it likes

falling all around
forming memories
and memorials
watching us all

wet faces from tears
the hands still go on
till humans are outlasted
after the finality
