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

we're all young

viewing the world with innocence
the only ones everyone pushes
to make a difference
with the energy and exuberance

all searching for paths of ambition
led astray by values of the world
the ones torn apart by division
and useless emotion

look at us through our eyes
see our need and insecurity
and desires to be free
you think we dont have any

stauch believers of our values
right or wrong we never know
we only reap what we sow
and decide where we go

we often head the wrong way
doing things on wrong days
who's to say we're wrong anyway?
we're all young


*dedicated to all way ward youths, this must be how u feel*

dun cry for me

dun cry for me, dry your tears on me
dun think of all our memories
be strong, dun let them fall
time is what we do not have

letting go is hard, it rips me apart
i know when i leave
u'll be left with a broken heart
im losing touch with time

dun let go of my hand
i'll miss u as much as u'll miss me
every smile every minute we had together
every moment im sure we cherished

we'll part for now with no regrets
im sure we'll meet again someday
so dun cry for me, dry ur tears on me
coz ure heartache wont last

sounds of grieve and times of mourning
they wont last as well
the tears will stop falling the hurts will heal
im sorry, i cant hold on, i gotta say goodbye

dun cry for me, dun let me leave
w memories of a tearful love
i'll hold back my tears
i'll think of happy times

nothing lasts forever
our time here has come to an end
we'll go to a better place, u and me
dun cry for me, dun cry for me

theres only so much i can hold onto, to hold back
forgive me if i let them fall
forgive me for leaving so soon
i cant hold on

tears will fall, we cant hold them back
but still i'll tell u, as my tears fall
dun cry for me, dry ur tears for me
hold onto me, i fear for u

cope for me, remember me
but one thing,
dun cry for me,
no amount of tears can bring me back.....


*dedicated to all survivors, to all who have lost loved ones and to any who have suffered due to the damage caused by the tsunami that ravaged asia in december, 2004*

reason for this season

gifts given to each other
trees adorn every street corner
wishes overheard by a countless number
a joyous occasion?

christmas hymms broadcasted
even over sitted buddhas
meaningless to many
are the lyrics of salvation

lights are hung up
the bright star on the tree
presents for everyone else
lets not miss out

some dun celebrate
the birthday of Christ
but guess we're not better off
forgetting what he did for us

christmas cheer and drunken hangovers
spending for loved ones is our only charity
or at best spending time watching the tv
surely, we're missing something...

surely the lights dun cover our darkness
surely the presents dun fill our void
surely the wishes dun give us peace
surely, christmas must mean so much more

more than the presents
more than the profits
more than even each other
Christmas doesnt hv Christ for naught!

party on at 8

sun goes down, tan gets back
dun go back home,
feed on the energy, i'll wont see straight
triple down on ur run towards the stars

honey dun let me go, i'll follow u

stars are up fireworks playing
DJ's spinning we're dancing

till then lets move right along

too much to do too little time
but i'll make do w anything
coz time w u is eternity
till then lets be free

party on down from 8

the perfect date
