Cries at night are the loudest
Heart wrenching,
Agonizing
By day we fool ourselves and others
By night everything fall apart
So does our facade.

Lost in my head
Just a mess
A burden to be exact

Is it just me?
Mind screams
But words don't help

Will someone notice?
Even I'm fedup with my existence,
being dead will be the best I guess.

My sea is far away
let's meet somewhere closer
under the same cloud.

My blue water is for the sun.
I sing beneath the waves.

My rose is for the show
I am imbued in the fragrance.
Love is in the air
the scent wafts into my heart.

My sky is open wide,
beyond the rainbow on the high,
beyond the peacock's eyes.
It embraces the earth,
reaching far and wide.

As the wind blows along the way,
flying beneath the endless blue,
a mesmerising sight from the bird's-eye,
a butterfly slips out and begins to sway!
A poem from my upcoming book Qun: Love is Unconditional

Late at night, she sneaks up to the roof,
With quite steps and steady hand,
She makes her way to the quiet place,
Her favorite time of the day.
Nobody knows, asleep,
Just up to gaze the stars,
Despair, impossible to find more than few,
Moon is the favorite of all her display.
Half, full or crescent,
Its always there for her. Tracking it everyday.
She loves them all,
The silence, the calm,
the wind in her hair, the smoothness of breath,
sweetness of air, perfect getaway.
It's hard not to fall in love,
She can think, feel, be whoever she want,
Thinking she is powerful enough,
She is at peace, the most,
It's hard not to come back again,
Its hard not to pray.
She tells her God, thank you,
She pray for the one who is still a mystery,
She loves him without even seeing him, anyway.
She wait for him,
He is out there somewhere.
Looking for her, she likes to think,
Hope,
Time at the roof just fly away.
She promise herself to come again,
This is the secret she hides,
This dark dark night keeps her secret within.
