Laying on the bed of sparkling stars,
Underneath the brilliant glow of the moon.
Matching each dots in the sky,
Coming together to form an image of you.

Alone, still alone,
Without your touch,
Without your tone.
Oh, convince me, please,
That this is only a dream.

Do you sense the breeze?
Listen to its cries.
Is the hello just a disguised goodbye?
Is the truth a fraction of a lie?

Drops of water fell from nowhere,
Maybe it's the rain, maybe it's just me.
I just know that, no matter the choice,
This song is within your key.

In time, the winds shall whisper your name.
Until then, what once was, will be, again.
A poem on life after the separation of love. The boy still hears her name everywhere he goes. He misses her so much that his imagination confused his reality with visions of her. Truly s sad case of broken hearts.

We're surrounded by many blessings in life.
Roof over our heads,
Food on our plates,
Clothes on our backs,
Families, friends and partners.

Yet, why are we not valuing what we have,
But valuing what we don't have?
Are they needs, or just wants?
Tangibles versus the intangibles,
Can you differentiate the importance?

Money isn't the only measure for wealth.
Switch your perspective around.
From materialistic views, luxurious riches,
To small but equally beautiful qualities of life.

Not all that sparkles are treasures,
Not all that glitters are gold.
Only when one appreciates what one has,
No amount of gifts will ever please.

*"You only know what you have when it's gone".
A poem to remind myself and everyone else on appreciating everything you have in life - the good and the bad.

We all have things we're grateful for. But, sometimes, we tend to take them for granted, whether intentionally or not.

Learn to value what you already have.

There was a time, where I was all alone.
Shivering, depressed, afraid.
Always thought, I was destined.
Destined to face everything alone.

Until you came.
You showed me what it feels to be me.
How two is better than one.
And held my soul within your grasp, close to your heart.
Like two indestructible forces,
We tackled life's challenges.
With you by my side,
Nothing is ever impossible, only improbable.

But the day I feared,
The day I hoped never came,
came.

You left.
Like all the others who said won't leave.
I was crushed. Murdered.
Your soul, was the only suspect.

... why?
Why did you left me, with such bittersweet memories,
Only to take them away in the end?
Was it something I did?
Was it something I said?
... why?

Now all I'm left,
Are knifes through my heart.
Clinging onto a tattered soul.
And memories.

Memories we once shared, embraced, loved.
Gone. All. Gone.
Just a poem on broken relationships based off the couples around me.

Sometimes, things may not go your way.
Sometimes, there aren't any options left.
Sometimes, all you feel is just pain.

However, there's always a way.
A way to try again.
A way to start where you stopped.
And a way to pick yourself up,
Brush yourself off,
And keep trying.

You must learn to crawl before you can walk.
You must learn to walk before you can run.
You must learn to fall before you can fly.

As the Sun never stops rising,
No one should ever stop trying.
Even if all you have left is hope,
Keep trying.
It is the only thing worth fighting for.
And that is reason enough to keep going.

Learn to try. Again.
Poem about persevering in all situations. Never give up.

I’ll try not to tame the rolls.
It’s not always fun and games,
When the winner’s always you.
The stakes are on my toll.

Life is a game, love is a gamble,
Just roll the dice.
Snake-eyes, rhyming numbers,
You’ll be surprised,
At who rolls the dice.

As the clouds clear, and the music ends,
*The rule of the dice is, the roller never wins.
No one can predict the unpredictable in relationships - whether they stay, or they go.
