Ocean's Wail
Adele Feb 2016
I'm going to leave the ocean
where I spent my whole life mesmerizing
the million contours of the sun

Oh, look at those lovely birds sailing placidly in the sky
Farewell to the tides
that washed the feelings that I used to hide

I am saying goodbye to the embrace of the salted air
The gentle breeze that every day whispers 'stay'

No one can't find me
not even under the surface of where the crustacean's play

I'm leaving this ocean
just like how you left that day
I'm tired of drowning
knowing you're no longer here to keep me safe

Stars
Adele Feb 2016
The massive stars
give all their fuel in the night sky
somehow, time will come
they will explode and die
One's existence will turn black
and will eventually fade.

Walls ~
Adele Apr 2016
Words slither from their mouth 
The sound ripples
in her ears like the drops
of water from a lonesome cave
She decided to build a wall
and hear no more echoes

In silence,
the heart pitter- patter's
the lungs pounding... in and out
wanting to tell that she's alive,
telling her in a mute
'don't let your gutsy soul fly'

In silence, 
there's too much noise

so she just decided to break the walls down as she rose from solitude.
She can still hear it, but she doesn't mind. Her gutsy soul is with her all this time ;)

LOST
Adele Apr 2016
I, sometimes think,
I am wasting my time for nothing.
It is running and I'm not moving.
The world revolves,
people evolve
They told me to find my place,
and I'm still here on the same spot.
I don't know what to do.
What I see are them walking on fast forward
and I will always be on a slow motion.

Wide Awake
Adele Oct 2014
That deep blue eyes,
drown me with lies
An ocean covered
with a dark sky
I remember the time,
a big storm warned, it's time for goodbye
Why? Your eyes are just dry
Why? Every time I think about it,
I just cry
How can you not even try?
That's why I'm suffocated
with this gruesome thought
misting 'whys'
I'm still coughing
from that cold water
Flooded with fear
You let go of my hand,
watching me sink
I'm losing you in a blink
But the hourglass was flipped,
counting grains of sand
I was too blind, and now,
I do understand
because I'm learning
what it feels like how to stand
without holding your hand*

Embracing Solitude
Adele Aug 2014
Weeping under my sheet. I tried to endure but one thing's for sure, there'll be no cure!

My mind's distracted like an abstract making myself lose it. There might be a dose but my eyes... please scrutinize for you to realize.

It's a dark empty room and I'm all doomed. I want you to witness and caress my wet cheeks and if only you can squeeze me tight on this cold night :(

As I recall, you disappear through a throng. Left me hanging with a thought, 'what have I done wrong?'

But this solitude is quite rude for dragging me lifelong.*

Listen... (Elegy)
Adele Jul 2017
Listen, can you hear?
The birds singing wistfully just for you
We are all mourning with your name written as a song
Together, we sing as the toll of bells
dance with the chilly wind
and we will forever sing it

You may not see your daughter’s swollen eyes
Or the little ones running and laughing above the ground
But your secrets are buried deep and will be forever keep
No, I do not just sit and stare
My aching heart will always beat for your name
And I will forever sing your song

Your flesh sat so neatly
and bones will sweetly blossom in the air
But together, you will rise as a seed that grows
You grew into a beautiful flower under the morning sun
You grew bigger as vines crawl into the gravestones
Weeds have sat upon and cover the bold carved words ‘you will forever sing my name’

We might have seen you somewhere, somehow
up, up in the sky as a tranquil bird
or under the ground as a water gushing
from the ocean's call

you are everywhere
and your name will be forever written as a song

an old song hidden from the trunk and voices, running out

Can you still hear?
For my grandma who's watching from above. Your name will always live.

Sound of the Night
Adele May 2017
As the sun folds in half
the orange horizon blazed in the sky
darkness plunged
and cover the world

I closed my eyes,
found myself laying in the soft, moist grass,
feeling the weight of the earth
the humming of the wind,
birds singing wistfully
crickets hiding in their sanctuary

I am alone with the brimming moon
and the myriad of stars

all the flaws, imperfections and scars
became hidden from the dark

for once, my soul revives...

no one can touch me.

Seasons
Adele Aug 2014
The bloom of my heart on the first day of spring. You gave me flowers and so much to remember. You promised a forever with a pinky finger.

We had fun this summer. The beach and adventures. Always the best time when I'm with you, coz you make me smile, that's what you always do.

The falling of golden leaves in the fall season. Oh boy! That was a whole lot of pies in our belly. We rake and play on these leaves together. Then I pause and thought, you might be the one. No doubt, I finally found you.

In a cold winter night where you left me in December, I stand on the side of the road, hugging myself on this busy street wanting to stop the tears. This is what I've always fear. You dissapear and that I couldn't bear. Watching the snow fell from the dark sky, I thought I'll be permanently happy but here I am just feeling empty.

Because those seasons are now nothing but a memory.

Hidden Desire
Adele Oct 2014
How can you not hear my inner voices
and you're that clueless
that I'm already making a mess

Listen to the inaudible scream
look through the window
and find the glint

Lend me your ears,
hear my heart beat?
Hope this won't explode
as it goes to fast mode

My mouth is zipped
as I'm trying to keep
what is safely hidden inside
But the water's
overflowing in the glass
Here I am, trying to wait
for the next bus

But I need to grab the ink
and paste the unwanted feelings
For this is the only way
to grab a rope and not sink*

Just A Typical Rain Story~
Adele Aug 2014
I do love rain! I do!
A sweater and a cup of tea
My bed and the silly thoughts
in my head

Dancing and kissing in the rain
Laughter playing in the mud
I would say, It was insane
and a little rad

But sometimes, a sail in a storm
could wash you away
A lighting that struck
could **** a day

A heartbreak isn't okay
There are times when it rains
Tears stream down my face
Watching the sky,
from my window pane
Dark as a broken heart
Everything is gray

Raindrops ripple
Like the water
coming from my eyes
A distraught mind

Then all I wish is for rain to go away.*

Regrets
Adele May 2015
Sparrows twittering in the eaves of my rooftop
The leaves slowly falling from the tree
And I yonder through the hills;
Patches of blue sky illuminate my eyes
The nostalgia of yesterday ringing in the back of my head
Afflicted my soul as I weep tumultuously

I am ill from my own desolation
with no elixir to pour and fill the heart
The years has come, and I came to realize
that I pay no heed to life
Looking back, where freedom was born,
until it was locked

O' bless my soul
so when I close my eyes, I'll feel the bliss
I must soar, but my wings are broken
I am awake, but my feelings are vague

My existence was dulled and faded with the wind
I descend from agony and fear
Contemplating;
the torture of tangled memory
and a riot mind
Think about your old self, sitting on a rocking chair outside the porch, watching the picturesque meadow, contemplating your youth life back then. The things you didn't do, the chances you didn't take. This is for the young people who should enjoy their life today. Be free, do what you want to do, no buts, no fears or even face your fear, because in the end, there's this thing called 'regret' :) So yasss, just do it! ❤️

I Love You?
Adele Jul 2014
I met a guy not that long when we said hi.

We talked and laughed and shared wonderful moments behind.

We're on the phone all night and sent sweet messages most times.

He told me I'm beautiful and said he loves me. I don't know why.

I'm happy and terrified at the same time.

He's not even mine and I love you?

We just met, I'm just scared alright.

Just three but powerful words can't you see it's not that easy to define?

Saying I love you, it takes time.

Get to know me and we'll see what truly is life.

'Coz it seems you're just playing with my mind. I know it's not just me who you trying to be nice.

Quit the game and be real this time.

I want you to find a girl who you'll truly love at the end of time.

You are not alone~
Adele Aug 2014
She's the kind of girl
who is half of a whole
Her body is art, drawing lines
coming from her heart
The pain she endures,
Putting sadness away from her soul.

They put her down
crawling on the ground.
Her face... so full of frown!

Stop hating, start loving
You may be hurting
but this life isn't about crying
It's about smiling
and creating a rainbow
that makes a heart glow.

Can I reach & grab your hand?
Letting you know
I understand.

Doing this to yourself
won't let you see the real world.
It's because darkness
covers the light.

It's in you to make things right!
And it's never too late
for you to realize.
Come on, get up and try.

You are beautiful,
don't tell me that you're not.
Because we are all born to be
and will always be.

This is for the girl I found on instagram. Her account disturbed me a lot. I don't know why she hated herself (your photos told me that you're beautiful) I hope time will come that you'll stop cutting. I want you to be happy and ignore the negativities. Look how beautiful the world is. You have friends and family that cares for you. You are loved! It may be weird but I want to hug and tell you, 'I'm here to help and together, let's cast that darkness away.' The thing is, this is the only thing I can do. Help yourself. Hold on and be strong :)

Revelation
Adele Oct 2014
In a silent night,
I can hear the fast beating of my heart
I thought it's going to explode
My hands are shaking,
my body's trembling
Am I going to die?
I like you and that's not a lie
They say 'the truth will set you free'
But telling the truth crushed my soul
Hades pulled me from underground
I toss and turn in bed,
My thoughts went wrong
I listen to some sad songs
Feels like my world is falling apart
I just want to drift away
so when I open my eyes,
I'll be okay.*

Love on disguise
fair dinkum in my eyes
across the ocean
learning to fly
watch the wings, soar up high
Free as a bird, singing in the sky
Looking for a place to live
For it is feign or may not,
who could tell,
two lovers
may not be
Love in his eyes, or in mine
does it look even real?

Heaven knows
how high they can reach

The apperception of my brain
It is just seem to wander
Because here I am trying to wonder
The feelings that I thought were gone from what I ponder.
In a glance... it's coming!
Everything's rushing!
Endeavoring to shut my mind,
wanting to stop the hunting of what was elapsed.

What I want is, to doze off and escape from this 3am thoughts.*

the maze
Adele Feb 2021
All this time,
I believed I got it.
I believed I got better.
I am stronger and smarter.

But when I looked at myself,
it weakens my knees that everything inside my head scribbles.
There is a way out of this maze.

I turn into poetry, a clairvoyant
who can only define why I have to get out before the clock strikes twelve, and it takes hard work to get out
I needed to plan. It is possible.
Poetry guaranteed that all I needed to do is to use my senses
to put the pieces back together and find this one way out.

Teenage Dream
Adele Jul 2014
Parents will never understand-
Going out, having fun
The blast of speakers coming from a room
making a house boom.
The jokes and pranks with friends
just making memories that won't end.
Drunk or sober nights
that will carve in everyone's heart.
Red cups some party games, going speed limits,
we're just too young to care.
The selfies and photos
that won't ever fade.
And when I get older,
reminiscing those days were cray.
A smile on my wrinkling face.
My teenage days was never a waste

Today---
Adele Apr 2015
The luminous sky brought wonders to my life, it’s soft morning breath made me rise. This is the day where I get to face, something different from all of those gloomy days.

The sun is high and bright, the warmth lingers through my skin. Yesterday was a frozen breeze, raged with horror and fear. But today, is something to cheer.

I can see different colors lining in my way. The beauty blossoms on a May. For the last cold day it died with a sigh. Right now, its petals are happily dancing with the friendly wind.

There’s no more darkness in sight. How happy I am to be alive. After all those sunken nights where I can’t breathe from the storm that smashed my ship, I am now sailing placidly ashore.

What a beautiful sail, there’s no more lightning that will strike. Only sunshine and happiness in this vast ocean where I sing the pirate song and turn the anchor forward. Slowly on my way to the happiest place. ❤️

You are the sun of my life
and I am the moon in sight

Just come and fall to my gravity

Ghost Girl
Adele Nov 2014
She floats in a throng
Like a music without a song
Sometimes, she flies
Trying to find a place to hide

Sad invisible girl,
crying in the corner
Whispering dreams and wishes
in a dry thin air

the scars on her wrist
buried her deep in the ground
where daisies grew
and more lovely
Flowers bloom in May

She watches her grave
Full of bliss and peace
As she closed her eyes,
She found the brightest ray of light
Her body dispersed,
Forming one of the cosmos
In the vast sky*

Gust of Wind (For Joe Cole)
Adele Aug 2014
It's a journey of a leaf
that fell from a tree!

Plummetted restfully
lying on the ground
Atlast, it's free!

Whoosh! Going somewhere,
up an down, left and right
Adhered everywhere.

People step on it,
back and forth, south to north
It's been a dream
but a cruel world it seems
A nigthmare, so dim.

Wishing to come back home
but there's no turning back
Lost it's track.

A whirl of wind
took it where it belongs
It just have to be strong,
and a thought of
good things will come along.

The jangling of shackles
those calloused feet
The disgruntled grunt
gnashing and grinding of teeth

In a distinct cell
comes an echo of shrieking voices
Seeking for liberation
Digging for truth

The hope of truce
of the soul
who wanted to be free

Justice from inequality!

This is quite deep but it means that the people you've hurt from the past won't find peace if you didn't treat them something fair or if you didn't apologize. Forgiveness is also the key to set things free.
It also speaks for the government. Treat your nation fairly and be responsible. Don't watch the citizens die and suffer from poverty and as a citizen, I scream for my rights so please... just lend me your ears. Spread love not war, remember?

I want to write in a silent night
Holding my pen in a white sheet
I looked so uptight-dripping black ink.
Just can't think.

A dark clouds dispersing my mind
A big storm is coming
There must be an exit,
just can't find.

It washed everything away
Thoughts clambering on a trench
It's in the tip of the tounge,
just can't say.

The feelings were trapped
In an empty room so cold and dark
A shudder from horror,
just can't pray.

Squiggle! Squiggle!
Crumpled papers on the floor,
I badly want to find a door
Ugh, just can't write!

So annoying! T_T
Adele Oct 2014
The way his leather boots
stomp the ground
Swaying his black jacket,
Jumping while singing
in a bolt of lightning
making heads spinning around

Most girls love...
How his sweat sparkles in the light
His face, so flawless and bright
the way he winks makes all of them scream
wanting him more in their dreams

When he plucks his strings,
The world rocks
that's what he always bring

It's a high ceiling where
she loves doing her thing
Breathing deeply,
stroking the bow on the strings forming a beautiful reverberation while closing her eyes
The untied hair goes with the beat
This stadium's starting to heat


He stood in the hallway with a smile
Leaning on the white wall
waiting for her to pass by
This is too real, looking dumbfounded talking to a tight-jean-kind of guy

The one from school
which you'll find cool
standing in this hall
making every gals drool

Looking at each other's eyes,
melody and harmony
starting to collide,
not leaving each other's side
Creating a perfect balance of tune for the rest of their lives

haha! I'm thinking of Adam Wilde and Mia Hall while writing this. Adam might be a member of a rock band and Mia's a classical cellist but there love is so true that he even made her stay. I remember the part where she asked him 'why me?' he told her that music pulled them together. And everytime she plays, it comes from her heart and he just loves her the way she is. Simple, quiet and gifted it is.

daily affirmation

Dear self,
outside is darkness
a chaos
and we never wish for dark clouds
sometimes, things happen unexpectedly
have you ever dance in the rain?

you tell yourself you are never enough
but aren't we all?
we are never satisfied. We are always hungry
for something

we keep searching for it
but for now, be grateful
look around you
you have enough resources to live

you are breathing
that is enough

You are enough. next time,
if you're feeling blue
dance slowly with the blues

laugh even though you feel like crying
tell yourself
"you are beautiful; you can do it."

There are no excuses. Now get out there and change the world. Maybe start by making your bed as the first task of the day.
get up and get the job done. (This is me telling myself to do my tasks, NOW- which surprisingly feels I can do it).

Stick a note about the things you saw

She's afraid to spread her wings
as everyone got lost in the air
She was left in her own misery
in the midst of nowhere
she broke her wing
promised not to fly
Alone and scared, she has to try
Ready to open wide
and flap that white light feather
She wanted to soar high
But afraid to fall and cry
Looking fierce and brave
The only thing
is to get lost from this cave
It's the only way to be saved
No more tears and fears
Casting the trapped shadows
It's time to go and feel,
how the cool wind
wanders through her feet*

Don't Give Up!
Adele Jul 2014
Here I stand from the assailant of the world
The burden I carry slows me from moving my feet
The daggers they throw lacerated my being

I stumbled with an agonized cry
There's a whammy inside that
I'm too frightened to fight

It's the heap of gaze where believing was crushed.
Perceiving the truth I am thrown underground
A black abyss where screaming won't make any survive.

Just when someone hand me his arm
I submerged from the hole of what's draining my heart

I thought I'm alone but the light stopped by
The lightness He creates is blinding my eyes

I learned that giving up will lose your mind
Ignore the crowd that have push you.
Auscultate what's it beating for.

Reach for the peak and look at your feet. Everyone will gape and see what's beyond.

You're a sky!
That's high you'll become.

Not everything I write
is all about you
When the stars send light kisses
When the moonlight glows in dark sky
Even when I'm all covered in darkness,
I'm just trying to wonder
what will happen
when the sun woke up
Will he titter with joy or turn a blind eye
For all I'm hoping
is a carefree day
Am I going to cry or someone has to wipe my eyes?
Will I find a piece of this unpredictable jigsaw I'm trying to contemplate?
I just want to find vivacity
And it's not for you to arrogate
When I say I broke my heart,
It's because I didn't fight what's inside
I should have stood up
and know what is right
And that, is to walk away from a lugubrious atmosphere of my miserable life*

lonesome
as an island with
waves that roars but no one listens

a legion of people
in a downtown intersection
but I stay afloat in desolation

in the midst of a city hustle
I reclused to move

I defeated myself
and surrendered with the action

I live in a jungle of solitary
like a hermit dancing on the ocean floor

They call me Alfred Prufrock
but this is not a love song.
Oh, halt! he wasn’t writing a love song.

The dew turned into a crystallized ice
It's a good day yet I shiver
the sun looks nice saying hi
Rubbing my hand for friction
Time for school, I'm all set
Stopped in the hallway, I'm lost
New faces and gazes
Seems like a challenge
That's what I love best
Handing the white sheet,
wanting for directions
Took a deep breath and actiooon!
Smile and be yourself
Smile and be yourself
Smile and be yourself
The mantra keeps chanting
inside my head
Then, I thought it's not a bad thing
First day... really is something :)

and snow wiped out
the whole city in just one day

‘I hate this weather’
I told myself
the next day the sun came
with a winter air
that made the people
bundled up in three layers

‘Oh well. Welcome to Canada’
I shaked my head
as the rain drizzled
making a splash to my parka

The weather report says
next week will be a sunny day

I sang a hum of happy tune
while everyone talked about how the
climate ruined their day.

Recollection
Adele May 2018
I stood and read the letters
with a pinch of disappointment
of no candles or flowers to buy
I looked up the sky and believed
that beyond the thick
combust are billion of stars
scintillating for the dying hearts
and the roses
that was left languished
on the floor

a remnants of photos
remained
with notes and mournful regrets
flooded the walls

the world just keeps going
which is supposed to
No one heard me cry
for the souls had left the atrocious lane behind

I touched the petals
that used to bloom
and throes my heart
that life has to presume

On my grave, it will read "regretting all the ships that never sailed" and some people will think it's poetic, but others will know
{I'm sure going to put this on my grave.}

a secret
Adele Aug 2017
"a pocket full of shells" is playing on my mind
under the scorching tender heat
on a white villa with a panoramic view of a sapphire blanket covering the entirety of the world

the sound of vigorous wind whispered to come and dance as he blew mini waves on the shore, they didn't stop dancing,
so does the trees and the birds that sing along
from afar the mountains are silhouette

these nature, whispered a secret at each other
a conundrum, only they- can understand
and humans trying to search for answer
that seas, mountains, the skies
become majestic to everyone's eyes,

but we only come and watch them for a while,
ponder an ethereal thoughts
in some way,
we find ourselves
there's something about them and they won't tell.
they'll keep calling for you to come,

but you still ponder.

Human Life
Adele Aug 2014
Full of pity for what was promulgated. Watch how I chortle with a tone of "Nobody cares". Is cackling like a witch amusing that much? Might look around; no one seems to listen. My dear friend, cracking jokes will never be our forte. Well, just too engaged in our own lives. Can't say 'Go get a life' when it's kinda rigid turning around, especially when you got stabbed by a knife. And you know, just too fab that you don't actually have ;)
Hehe :3 Don't let anyone bring you down. Do your thing and be happy. (gosh! I sound hateful dont u think? :\)

Our Land
Adele Jun 2018
‘April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain...’

The chilly wind entered the dark room,
lamp post flickered outside
as he closed the window,
a gush made the feathered pen tumble as the ink splattered on his white crumpled paper

she opened her eyes and said, ‘Go to sleep...’ but he kept writing and she dozed off

the remnants of his past became an ash...

He found a title ‘The Burial of The Dead’

the candle was blown by the wind, he just stared at the dark sky, the waves from the coast was angry and his head needed the fragments to come altogether
his heart, knocking on silence, crying
it’s official! TS Eliot’s The Waste Land is now my favourite piece of all time!
Adele Jun 2018
1) I scratched your disc jockey
And left a note that I was sorry
Forgive me for your taste in music
Sounds a little bit dreary


2) Last night, while I was driving your car
I fell off a cliff!
It sure was damage, but I am still alive
Thank you for having me use it


3) The hearth needed more wood
And I cannot find one
Instead, I burned your favourite book
Sitting on the table
Forgive me, I did not like Dostoyevsky

4) I have eaten
The strawberries from the countertop
And which you were probably
Saving for your morning smoothie
Forgive me they were delicious and fresh
a little parody and post-modernism won't hurt... I guess lol

masterpiece
Adele Apr 2018
The tip of this pen
where the ink drips
has been sketching words
of your face,
the smile, the soft touch of your hand,
the words you whispered
that made my day


also the drip made a mess
when I sat frozen
trying not to draw
the tears you gave
and the promises that never came

but I finished a masterpiece.
