Paper ink
Paper pen
Paper write without end
Paper ink
paper pen
Paper my heart will you rend
Paper ink
Paper Pen
Where will my words you send?
Paper ink
Paper pen
Paper paper my skills to mend.
Paper ink
Paper bend
Ok, find, words
Paper paper my writing to be banned?
Since it seems to be the American Month of Poetry, thought I’d write something. Have never tried this style before. Yes, deliberate miscaps are deliberate. :D Oh yeah, poem was written to the tune of Psycho Pass’ Namai No Nai Kibutsu: http://vimeo.com/59940316
Title: Break.
bREAK.
BRat.
DarkNEss
l0neliness
Despair
Running running running
Against a foe you cannot see
Desperation, the fight to stay alive
A panicked shot, a cornered victim
Scream.
Shout.
Hoarse your throat. A sinister smile in the darkness.
Falling
Blessed, sweet, darkness
Reaching out to the sunlight
I looked up to see the dawn
Then i turned
Without regret
With my own two feet
Walk back into the darkness.
wITH a sMilE aS twIstED AS mY hArT.
You were there when I was at my weakest.
You saw me through tears.
You carried me gently through endless nights.
Though I’ve cheated on you, you’ve always taken me back.
You never complain when you have to share.
Your rough and warm surface never fails to support me.
Even after all these years, you’ve retained your bounce.
This Valentine’s, make love, not war… to your bed. :P

Been some time since I did a voice post.
Found this while cleaning my room. Wrote this during a breakup years ago:
The summer rains are here
The summer sun set to sear
A woman’s face smiles
Her heart hidden beneath files
The secrets that she kept
The tears that she wept
Releasing a bird never felt more painful
Neither did suicide so beautiful
Too many friend she has
To some her soul laid bare
Yet the only one she wants
Is the only one who is a friend
How do you go back
And become just friends?
What medicine could you take,
To firmly accept a love’s end?
Pain beyond measure
Nagging without censure
Her parents don’t care
She knows no trust there
A book, a tool, an instrument
Things tangible on this firmanent
They’ve seen the depths of her pain
To see a happy soul now slain
A lone spirit, set adrift
The heaviness she cannot lift
Her tears will not fall here
Not when behind grandma slumbers
Cry when you’re alone
When loneliness cuts to the bone
Keep close to you your phone
In case he calls, and hears your voice.
Strings of an instrument
Rhymthic fingers caressing
Shades of a stage
The sickly spotlight shines
He sleeps
She lies awake
Possesive, his hand around her
Comforted, she smiles
Soft, soft moans
A lady bent over
Cramps in her stomach
She walks in
Quiet, quiet
The building sleeps
Not a sound
Not a soul
Comes to stir
The club sings
The humans dream
Within the walls the music
dance
Harmony ascendant
Sultry, silky, smooth,
Teasing, provocative, deliberate
He lures her in
Till applause breaks the spell
Off the stage he goes
Behind the wall she beckons
All in the silence
Of tonight…
Sung to the tune of Deck the Halls~
Deck the ambulance with boughs of holly~
Fa la la la la la la la la
Tis’ the season to be sickly
Fa la la la la la la la la
Germs and virus are a-spreading
Fa la la la la la la la la la
Broken hips and fractured spines~
Fa la la la la la la la la la
Hospital stays are very boring~
Fa la la la la la la la la
Merunsing
Hatiku berpusing
Kegelisahan bertambah
Di ambang merdeka kini
Kekecohan
Di jalanan, mahupun di kampung
Di bandar dan di rumah
Semuanya gemuruh
Dalam kegelapan ini
Teringat suatu peribahasa
Di mana bayangnya, di situlah cahaya
Dengan cahaya wujudlah gelapan
Dalam sinaran adalah bayangnya
Untuk setiap yang inginkan kemusnahan
Wujudlah lebih ramai yang inginkan keamanan
Negaraku bukannya yang termoden
Negaraku mungkin terlalu runsing
Tapi yang adanya macha
Tiada warna, tiada sempadan
Mereka yang mementingkan diri
Terlalu inginkan kuasa dan wang
Sehingganya negara yang menjadi mangsa
Rakyatnya yang merana
Dalam bayangan wujudlah cahaya
Dalam runsingan wujudnya jawapan
Dalam kegelapan adalah harapan
Dalam rakyat adalah pendirian
Kepada mereka yang inginkan kemusnahan
Kepada mereka yang inginkan kuasa
Baliklah, iblis, ke nerakamu
Tinggalkan negaraku Malaysia sekarang!
Ditulis sempena Kemerdekaan Malaysia ke 53 dan Hari Malaysia ke 47. Inspired by a quote from the Mothership, “who would like to remind you that in this ever present darkness, there’s always someone nearby with a light. And if you’re willing, you can be that light.”
We can’t stay like this forever…
But I can have you here today…
- Awake by Josh Groban
Late nights
Curled in your arms
Safe, secure
So close
Breathing as one
I miss you.
I miss you.
