2 minute song

tonight i know i’m coming to it
coming to it
the truth is closer than it’s ever been
but i’m coming to it
the winds that chill
the cold that freezes
the calm that takes over when
that takes over when the sun doesn’t
the road is leading me
into another and that’s nowhere
it’s nowhere familiar  and i’ve been there before and
the life i [...]

this is for V, who said I haven’t been writing

I am here by choice
It is a blessing to type on a plain document
And not in a template
I am here because of a realization
Of who I am
And who I want to be
I am a writer
I am a creative person
I am an artist
I am a thinker
I no longer live by a template
A set of rules
A set [...]

another poem-in-a-jiffy

there’s no more use
for excuses
no reasons to stay
no lies to fabricate
no more alibis to make
no dreams to make out of dreams
no more plans to jot down
no more words left to exchange
let’s just try to
fade away

the last keepsake

this drive home
i have never felt so alone
going back from the place
i can’t go anymore
this moment
i am locked up in my sadness
i am reduced to nothingness
i am broken down to pieces
no one can really fix me back again
no one should even try
no one should attempt to mend who i am
and only you knew
the reasons why
this [...]

a short one on perspective.  a very raw draft!
he pointed at the sun
and did some soul searching
how will i tell her
he thought with a smile
tickets in pocket
he turned up to shake up her world
and he got what wanted
since the last time he wanted anything
he glazed at the moon
and did some soul searching
how should i tell [...]

i heard this song on starworld, they used it for some trailer.  i love starworld trailers, somehow they use the best tracks.  and while i’ve heard this song before, i’ve never bothered to find out the lyrics til now.  it’s beautiful.
it makes me think about the sunny days on the beaches of Tup and Khai, [...]

i will
yes i will
keep the promise i kept
from the day we met
yes i can
go back in time
go round in circles
but would you
think it’s worth it
would you
consider it done
i’m the only constant
you can count on
in these times
when lovers
come and go
go and never return
i’m the only old school girl
you can count on
in these times
when people
say i love [...]

inspired by a cab sav

tonight i will not think of you
of all the things you dared to put through
i’m gonna think of me
and what life allows it to be
i try to forgive and forget
but what’s there to forgive
when there’s no apology
but a whole life’s worth of regret
it’s so long ago
but really, has it been so
has it been years or [...]

the drunken writer

sometimes when i drink too much
i think i have the magic touch
my pens and papers respond
in anticipation
before i can reciprocate with a word
sometimes i think the fibres in the papers
or the kink in the ink
tell you to try harder
it will work out
just keep writing
just keep erasing
til it all rubs away
like skin rubs way after burns
like [...]

at 29 or the end of it,
you realize your real best friend is the one whose younger sister you’ve known since she was 11.
she is the one who will pick up your dog’s anti-scab vet shampoo when you are too busy to do so.
the one who asked about your past during your supposed happy present.
the [...]
