Walks of Life

2005-06-26T19:24:00.000+07:00

A pair of slippers plush
I was wont to wear
Velvety to the touch;
On evening promenades
Down Chancellor Road,
With her by my side,
A private paradise
In Alma Mater.
Later.
Along squalid lanes
And sleazy alleys,
Rugged and brambly,
‘Tis no place to wear
The pair of slippers plush,
I threw them to the trash.

Umbra

2005-06-11T11:45:00.000+07:00

When the sun is brilliant,
A shadow is cast,
You see an umbra;

When the moon is radiant,
A shadow is cast,
You see an umbra;

When the light fades away
A shadow is cast,
You see an umbra;

In my heart
A shadow is cast
There is an umbra,
Even without light,
The umbra persists,
‘Cause love is refulgent,
Memories linger
So does the umbra.

Resolution

2005-06-11T11:41:00.000+07:00

When all and everything around me
Has become entangled and away,
To waver, to be skeptical,
To falter, I say, is unethical.

When circumstances prove to be
Troublesome and bring me worry,
Inconsistent, to be capricious,
To palter, I say, is contemptuous.

In the long drama of existence,
I’ve waited for days a many,
With vapory hopes,
Ne’er lost my patience,
To part, to pine, I do not fancy.

Loss Irreparable

2005-06-09T10:52:00.000+07:00

At times,
My heart burns
With the fire
Of ten suns.

At times,
My heart cools
With the light
Of ten moons.

Ten moons ten suns,
Each taking turns,
To cool, to burn,
To scowl, to cheer,
To soothe, to sneer.

Is this thing “Love”
My Honey Dear?

Forever

2005-06-06T10:35:00.000+07:00

The blaze of life
Vaporized the water
In the stream of fancy.

The squall of society
Plucked the florets
And the buds of confluence

Yet
The roots of passion
Thrive thru’ the seasons,
The ocean of yearning
Braves the scorching of rays.
In my heart forever
My dearest, you will stay.

Deny

2005-06-06T10:29:00.000+07:00

If love be denied me then
why does the morning break its
heart in songs, and why are these whispers
that the south wind scatters among
the new-born leaves?

If love be denied me then why does the
midnight bear in yearning silence
the pain of the stars?

And why does this foolish heart recklessly
launch its hope on the sea whose end
it does not know.

Perpeptuity

2005-06-05T11:41:00.000+07:00

Halt, O River,
You may command the gushing water,
Yet you cannot
Stop the drizzling shower;

Halt, O Fetor,
You may prevent the putrid odor,
Yet you cannot
Stop the wafting zephyr;

Halt, O fascination,
You may ignore my devout affection,
Yet you cannot
Deny your countenance
My perpetual adoration.

Pathfinder

2005-06-05T11:40:00.000+07:00

Of the route, I’m uninformed,
May be short of may be long;

Of the trek, I’m uncertain,
May be craggy or may be plain;

Of the weather, I do not worry
May be fine or may be gloomy;

Leave this place, I’d better hurry,
Half a minute, I mustn’t tarry,
From this place, I must depart
Quite unprepared, did I start;

Let there be impediments,
Care not of hindrances,
For days, for months shall I go on,
My conviction is my life and weapon,
I’d rather die while on my way,
This wretched place, I’d never stay.

Treasure Trove

2005-06-04T15:43:00.000+07:00

In my heart, I treasure
A bouquet of love,
For whom, you may ponder,
For her, I can prove,
With faint hopes for the future,
I store in my heart;

On my lips, I treasure
A songbird of Words,
For whom, you may wonder,
For her, you can trust,
Melody for her audience,
I store it on my lips;

In my eyes, I treasure
A necklace of tears,
For whom, you may inquire,
For me, you can be sure,
To wash away my sorrow,
Should she leave me in grief.

Dilemma

2005-06-04T15:38:00.000+07:00

Springing from reticence
The sharp edge of doubt
Severs the strings of passion,
Beloved, don’t you know?

Beginning from indifference
The sturdy fence of pride
Divides the two of us,
Beloved, don’t you know?

Starting from misunderstanding
The fiery spark of egoism
Ravages the copse of love,
Beloved, don’t you know?

Your doubt, pride and egoism,
Makes me indecisive,
To love, or to leave,
Beloved, I don’t know.

Insult

2005-06-03T11:53:00.000+07:00

Said she,
“I’m thirsty,
Spare me
A tumblerful to drink.”

Then she,
With honeyed smile
And entreating look,
The tumbler she took
And washed her feet.

First Love

2005-06-03T11:49:00.000+07:00

One life, one love,
One leaf, one lamina,
One bough, one flower,
Let it mellow
Fade and yellow,
Wilt and sallow
Fall and perish;
From the dust
I’ll pick it up,
The withered petals
I will cherish.

Eternally

2005-06-02T13:34:00.000+07:00

The mellow corolla I will kiss,
The fallen blossom up I pick,
The withered petals I will treasure,
To be my lifetime's souvenir.

May it bloom or may it fall
Deep in my heart, I recall
The only flower I adore
Eternally, forever more.
