TOGETHER

Together we are going to travel through the world

You and me for ever

When it rains, when it snows and when it’s winter

Our ship will sail to forever land

Doesn’t matter how long it takes

I will wait until you are back on your feet

There are stories yet untold

I wouldn’t let go your hand if the ocean dries out

My feelings are waiting for you 

Broken pieces of thoughts of you

Please don’t let go my hand

For you are all I‘ve got

Many days have gone between us

But life never stole the reflection of you

I am knocking at your door

Waiting forever for you to let me in

You just got to let go some things

Your fear, burden and your past

From now on, we’re got to be together

I promise I will wait a little longer

But you’ve got to do me a favor

Let’s dance together by the sea

No need to get too comfortable with me

Just let me be there for you forever

A SAD POEM

Papa wasn't home at my birth
All my life soaked in struggle
For a little child with no friend
Emotions locked in a closet

At eighteen my feelings broke free
I fell in love hoping my heart would heal
Thought the world would be different
But my heart got smacked really bad

I conceded to love, thought she would bring me joy
What I was afraid of was staring at my face
Rejection, betrayal, unloved and selfishness
A dark burden of clouds fell upon my heart

I sat the whole night sobbing
And watch the glimpse of sun fading
The world became resentful
Scrambling for the crumbs of life 

Mama told me it wasn't my fault

Yet pain and sorrow seems to follow me
Never did I knew my father
I learnt he is cruel, selfish, always beating  my mother

I have got no more conviction in me
Lost everything I once believed in
But the fate of an unwanted child
To the uncertainty and cruelty of man

My heart is bleeding, tears can't hold the pain
Like watching a movie of my life going down the drain
It's true life isn't perfect, I live in a world that's deserted
All my dreams washed under my feet

I accepted fate that day
That love will only bring me sad memories
For friends and family are long gone
Don't know how it feels like to be hugged

For you mama, I will stay strong
Walk with you even if I can't find love
All I've got left is me, a pen and a little piece of paper

In grieve I wrote the heart to sleep, a sad poem

HARVEST

Wish you A Happy New Year 2016, a year of Bountiful Harvest.

 
Rejoicing in harvest
A year made of gold
The rain came in April
And stayed with us until December

It's a minute to midnight
Hopes are waiting anew
The roof of 2016 turn apart
With great expectation

Life standing far away
Lanterns burning in our heart
We sang a song to the mighty God
Like a vapor our praises reach the sky

Earth and Heaven stumbles
In the hour of joy God stood with us
Together we counted the stars
The stores in our heart filled with laughter
