My words
shall be few
more will pollute:
it's enough
if they are true
to what makes me
as I am--no more:

here, there
everywhere
words flush
the daily air
endless
careless
needless
at every thoroughfare

silence
I must learn
and be aware
of the sanctity
of words unspoken
there's the hidden diamond
beyond compare.

How to live?
Be creative
don't be imitative
or hybrid
nor decorative
in this-
new ideas
you'll conceive
yourself
you'll never deceive !
Dr Peter Lim Jun 23
To the world we belong
but of us it takes no notice
yet from it we can't detach:
living demands we seek our own peace

while life watches
in nonchalance and indifference
before long, as time rushes
we meet our end-- dispensed!
Dr Peter Lim Jun 23
I
you
they
and life-

the inseparable quartet
we are

in our being together :
every day
our drama
is played
Dr Peter Lim Jun 19
Go elsewhere
I'm not your man
unlike the others
I can't pretend-

to your chorus
my ears I can't lend
leave me as I am
your song I can't chant
Dr Peter Lim Jun 19
I've no castle
nor mansion
if you must
my heart I'll open

for you to enter
at your every desired moment
not made of mortars or bricks
what's within shall never be broken
Dr Peter Lim Jun 19
Life-a series
of endless variations
on same themes
in different intensities
  in constant contradiction-

the lacuna, the opaqueness
the lack of transparency
the mist and the haze
the veil and the obscurity

and even as we speak
something is missing- authenticity
is far flung- words are shrouded
in strange mystery

the poets how they write
of love in all their over-enchanted poetry
but experience does prove sadly
love can be such misery in reality!
