I'm sure ,when I grow up, I will discover the true meaning of love-
what I feel now is but a flicker, but by then, it will be a flame

You and I

I can help you
so much only
the rest is entirely
up to thee-

I've my problems too
in my life-journey
I had to struggle so frequently
to be free and happy

I wish you well--sincerely
wherever you might be
we're also cast into life's uncertainty
we've each to reckon with destiny

Poetry and me

Poetry
so frequently
is like prayer
to me

Dr Peter Lim Jun 16

Poetry and morality

Poetry
has a lot to say
about morality:
after all
it's about life
and humanity

if it's just
about rhyme
and rhythm
its words
would be empty

poetry
might not change
the world
but its presence
should bear testimony
to our human dignity

The Night and you

The night is friendly
if you've lived the day kindly

Dr Peter Lim Jun 16

The day

The day has tiny hidden delights
but you have to open your heart and eyes

Luxury-an ugly word

'Luxury'-
an ugly word
the wantonness
of the princely
and the aristocrat-

I was born poor
few things I could afford
if ever given luxury
I'll accept not

the little I have
is more than adequate
nothing else by me
need be sought
