' Absence makes the heart grow fonder'

My version:

Absence breaks the heart asunder
Dr Peter Lim Jan 4
Kindness
is enough religiousness
even unknown, on its own
it sparkles silently in devotion and faithfulness-

it's the generous giving
wherever it's present
the fountain over-flowing
the love that's unceasing -

kindness
is the alpha and omega
its helping hand
is always near, never far
Dr Peter Lim Jan 4
I'll string together
in a basket life's trivia
and cast it gladly
into the nearest river-

only a few poems
and songs of mine will I keep
myself to contemplate and console
when in future days to revisit-

life is the assembling
and the detaching
in their own time
as along with it I  keep engaging-

I'll string together
in a bouquet my every memory
my every dream, my every inspiration
as I live lovingly, tenderly and freely
Dr Peter Lim Jan 4
Self-love, self-respect and self-trust
for a good life this is enough
and we are insulated against
the hurt and callousness of others
Dr Peter Lim Jan 4
He was worse
than poison-
the cobra bit him
and died thereof!
Dr Peter Lim Jan 4
If you do value me

keep in your heart--say nothing:

words don't convey

the full meaning
