what is there to love?
it's like the rays of the sun
it's warm but it burns.

what is there to trust?
it is like complete darkness
nothing can be known.

what is there to hope?
it is like the falling rain
you'll never catch it.

what is there to life?
it is like a flowing stream
you only step once.

I love you but you do not love me
Unrequited this love shall be.
And as the melody fades
I'll just look at your face.
You do not have love
It's all I have.
Wasted it
How can
I?

O friend, do not fail me this time
Now that I am in straits so dire
Should you be gone, what shall I do?
Whom can I confess myself to?
It pains me to see your soul drained
Now how can I combat this dread?
It pains me more to think that I
Shall be the reason that you die!
I reminisce time together
Those times when none can get better
You lighten the load that I bear
An celebrations, you're my pair.
All that I know you also know
We are connected soul to soul
I pour my heart as I confide
All that in the day's end happened.
You were there when sorrow kissed me
You double joy when i'm happy
The best friend that I ever had
That through eternity shall stand.
O pen, do not fail me this time
Let me complete this farewell poem.
You who shared a part of my life
Never failed me but just this once.

I apologize for my acting bad.
I branded you as my greatest rival
And perceived you as one most whimsical.
Dear friend, I am sorry for evil thoughts
That I conjured that to you may gave insults.
I judged you hastily but never tried
To understand what you possess inside.
To everything you said, I pretended deaf.
But I agree your words make my heart melt.
I treated you with a bit of contempt
And never thought of you as a good friend.
But hasty judgment is all I can make
Now, dear good friend, please forgive my mistakes!
As our parting drew near, I have conceived
By what's shown by your kind and thoughtful deeds
That all these time, you were not my rival
Indeed my review shows you're my ally!
I regret how despite all you virtues
I failed to be more amiable to you
Now my conscience begins to bother me
Why did i treat you so unequally?
My friend now your humour i can comprehend
I just realized what to me you meant.
To Caleb whose humour I never had
I wish a successful and happy life!

standing by the window
I gaze at the greens where a stream flows.
I watch as the leaves gently shake
to the wind's sweet caress.
sparrows sing and fly
enjoying their blissful life.
while I am here behind walls
wearing away my soul.

I gaze at the evening sky
framed by the sillhouette of trees.
I wonder if the faint stars
in their places still exist.
or are they like my presence
I am here, but not my heart.

I pray for rain
so that the little stream
that runs by our house
be filled again
with water that supplies its life
and gives blessings to souls around
the poor stream is now gaping
wanting rejuvenation it is dying
I pray for rain for this not to happen
so I may still see critters gathering
around the little stream that makes me
secretly happy.
