Succumb
Let your fire burn me ’til this longing is quenched,I’d be thrilled to submit to your passionate torment;Let your flame melt this frosty spell ’til I drip in elation,I’d be delighted to succumb to this ecstatic possession…

Abandoned
You grew weary But here I stay faithfullyWith my fatigued soul You wandered farI wait for your returnPerhaps you’ll never come back Our storms were giganticYou were lanky and weakThe vows I spoke made you sick You left, I stayedAnd your words torment me moreEven when you’re gone Why did you make oathsYou cannot keep?

Play Me
I sit in the cornerAlone and forgottenBruised by timeRavished by fateMaybe I already forgot to singFor I was robbed of my voice You used to cherish meAcclimated with your touchWe were one, perfect for each otherYou adored me in all my gloryNow I am in this nookWallowing in melancholy Then came that dreadful timeYou relinquished […]

Tirades of a troubled soul
Tonight I lie down quietlyIn this cold hard bedWith this still nightAnd deafening silence.Yet my mind’s noisyToo loud that I can hearMy thoughts, my rants.Agonies from reminiscences,Tirades of a troubled soul.They’re screamingIn my headRestless, boisterous.I covered my earsWith my trembling hands,But I can still hear themGrating, gnashingExcruciating.I shut my eyes tight,But I can see themClear […]

Ghoul
Prophecy has it, you are no longer yourself.But, a hollow, an unnamed identityYou do exist but you do not live. As foretold, you are no longer complacent.Though you believe you are simply divergent,Everyone branded you the maleficent. You became the ghoul that extracts joyAnd resistance to ignominy you are not coy.You became the demented or […]

Rant
-Now what? Starting again is not easy. But letting go is liberating. Walking away is not cowardice if you walk away from those that destroy your confidence and self-worth, from those that kill your peace and happiness. It’s not easy to purge something that has been in your system for so long. It’s some sort […]

Affliction
This afflictionIs perpetual torture.Cries clogged my throatStingingBloodshot eyes,Heart-wrenching reality,Repressed lamentsAnd muffled cries… As I crouched down on the cold floor,Hugging my trembling kneesI let my tears fallUnder the cold waterWishing all this burdenWould go down the drain.But it didn’t.It torments me more.I covered my mouthTo suppress a screamYet my heart agonizesSeverely.I felt its faint beatingAs […]

Karma
Do not think that I chose youSo I would only let goWhen everything turned amiss.True!I did ponder on it a thousand timesBefore taking a step forwardAnd kissed that past goodbye. If you could be, (thought I,)Another erroneous judgment,So be it. Let it be,‘Cause fate welds it.Let us bask and savor the momentWhile we can,And let […]

Train Tracks
In those bewitching moments, I admitMy will was seduced, I lost track of time.But what can I do when it’s too late to whine?That wasted luck, from my fingers, they slipped.In this wicked world, the weakest do not surviveDreams went awry, chances I cannot revive.Love drifted off, but this broken heart stayed;Yet hopes faltered, courage […]

Cursed
From a deep slumber, I rouseStartled and scared I scurried awayWanting to escape, to run far awayFrom the invisible monsters trying to vanquish me.With hurried footsteps, I left my roomUncaring if outside there was a storm.The need to get away heightened my spiritI must leave this cursed place at once.I run outside, it’s quite dark […]

Your Nightmare
I noticed how your face twisted with disgustWhen you saw me enter the room though with careful steps.Your lips curled up in irony, it made me wonderDoes my presence make you unwell?I tried to draw my face with a friendly smileBut you turned your head as if you loathe my existence.I tried to greet you […]

Linger in your hold
The night is old and exhausted to hearMy griefs and sentiments and fearTo let it out at once with the coldnessAnd the numbness and your carelessness Rain softly pours outside along withThe melody I created upon the deathOf my sense and your presence both(In my heart sadness was you quoth!) The rain did fall but […]

I died tonight
Darkness caves in on me slowlyMy feet are stuck on the ground.The ground shakes, moving in circlesAround me, pulling me down,Swallowing me into its deepest core.I have nothing to hold on toI scream but it came out like a muffled cryAnd I choke on my fears until I slowly sunk,Plummeting to the ground.Someone’s watching me from […]

Intrusion
Pardon my intrusion dear sir,But you only speak highly of yourself.The ill deeds you committed,Have you contemplated it yet?Or have you gone blind to discern the truth,Deaf to hearken the plea?Pardon my audacious approach, sireBut you only speak debauchery.

Perhaps
If you were in my shoes,You would know how many miles I walked,You would see how many times I tripped,You would feel how it’s like to rip apart(But what can I do? To you, I was just some disposable stuff.)If you were in my shoes,PerhapsYou would know how many times I got tiredBut continued to […]

Poet’s Way
You speak of words glazed with honeyWhilst you babble, your eyes are dreamy.It creeps into my heart like a serpent,Sugary yet venomous, vile but sweet.Are you a poet? You talk like one.How come your lips smell of scented phrases And drip off with savory utterances.Indeed, very sumptuous for my liking.Oh, are you a knight or a […]

Doomed Fate
Yet the glimmering lights fade into the nightShe vanishes into thin air, taken by the dark knight.As it was written in the stars, her breath expires tonightA fate she cannot rewrite, a doom she cannot fight.

Summer
May the summer breeze warm the heartOf those who were left, whose lovers hath depart.May their cheeks be kissed by the sun,May they never again be broken…

She finds solace in the shade
Away from the beguiling schemes of colorsAnd tempting flickering lights,She finds solace in the shade.And there she chose to hide her miserySo you’ll never see her tears,You’ll never see her heart breaksAnd you’ll never catch a glimpseOf her smile ever again…

Stolen Sunrise
If I had never kissed the sleep off your eyes,You wouldn’t have stolen my sunrise away.If I had never kissed the morning dew from your lips,You wouldn’t have stolen my soul away,And now I am imprisoned in this darkest cavernWhere no light permeates to subdue my grief.

Memory Lane
I lost count of how many times I missed a step and fell scraping my knee.I wasn’t stunned at all about how much it pained me.But I found the peace I have been waiting for,My everlasting desire has finally come to me.For quite some time I kept on traipsing down memory lane;The battles I fought, […]

That Thursday Afternoon
Thursday afternoon I went on a trip with my friends. I was hesitant to go because I was sick but I went anyway, lol. It was all set so I didn’t want to miss it. But while we were driving along that long bridge, an accident happened. I think everyone was screaming and panicking. Thank […]

Starting to befriend the devil

How are you?
“Are you okay?” They asked.“No. I am dying inside and you don’t know. I am not okay in every sense of it but when was the last time you truly cared though you’ve been asking me how I was? When was the last time you listened when I needed someone to vent my grief? When […]

We are Public Servants
“Public service is about serving all the people, including the ones who are not like you.” -Constance Wu •••Working inside an air-conditioned room doing a staring contest with your laptop all day doesn’t sound exciting at all. But working under the heat of the sun or pouring sky, and meeting new people from different walks of […]

A war broke out inside my brain
A war broke out between angels and devilsVying for freedom, perhaps supremacy And I can feel their strengths as theyHurl lances and mortars hitting my fences.I cry out in each blow, I tremble in anguish.This misery I endure, how will it vanish?Gladiators stomped in like giants Throwing fists, blades and armors clanking.For days, they battle unwavering they […]

Boxing My Office Stuff
You make my world spin while bitter memories flood in.You are the epitome of my miseries, I loathe your presence.So, I gotta clear the clutter and ditch you in the dumpster.Gotta do it sooner before the countdown to 30 is over.‘Cause I see you like a trauma that makes my gut churn,You murdered my dream […]

Charlatans
Why must I hide when I cry?Why must I pretend I don’t get tired?Why must I face the anguish alone?‘Cause I am used to fighting my battles alone.And I don’t need to hear well wishes from actors,I don’t want to tell my rants to the deaf,I don’t like to listen to their deprecating scrutinyWhen all […]

When he held me captive in the dark
I didn’t hold back the tears threatening to flowWhen the sunset did glimmer its final glow,I watched as the dim curtain drew inAnd felt its strong arms imprisoned me then.I could not wrestle off his steel hold,Tenacious was he, so I’ve been told.Oh, I recall a few wanted to put out my fire,Too obsessed to […]

Dark Phase
The day it started… A while ago I experienced that feeling I never wanted to feel again. I wasn’tcold but I was trembling. I didn’t know what triggered it, but it scares me. I crouched down, curled up like a ball in my bed, puff some air a few times to slow down my breathing. […]

By the Woods
I passed by the woods the devil might have lured mePerhaps I was mindlessly trailing the wrong way.Or maybe I was tricked, he jinxed me on this day tooWhen I thought I befriended him just a while ago.But I ain’t afraid shall he set some traps for me,I am ready to duel with him to get past this […]

Change
Seasons change and life seems an endless journeyAnd though we sometimes wish otherwise,Life ceases but time ticks by unceasing.And oh, the rain pours down unexpectedlyWhen just a wink ago, the sun was blazing,And who knows what might happen nextWhen life is full of surprises in betwixt.We witness the dawn break into new hopesAnd watch the […]

Solitary Confinement
Must I go back to where I wasTo the place where I was confined alone,When I wandered far from homeIt sheltered me inside cold walls.Though it kept me withheld in doorsAnd silence was my companion,It never let me feel sad and alone,Hence, on its shoulders I clung on.Perhaps I was blind for I couldn’t seeNobody […]

The Road To The West
I’m in the middle of the roadThat to the East, there, to the WestWhich road must I chooseWhen I often think I am lost?Must I take the road to the westMaybe I’ll find peace and solace,There in the land of the dead,There in that forgotten land,Maybe I could rest.This exhaustion is gnawing at mePerhaps it’s […]

Embers of the Past
The horror of the past still lingers in my skinThat smells of betrayal and tears and torment.What must I do to forget the taunting aching?What antidote will work to numb these fears?If I strip myself before your eyes and pose bare,You’ll see marks and scars tattooed forever,A living testament of the battle I foughtAnd on […]
