Dear Ex-Lover
Emm Sep 2017
You are ashes and bones to me
just so you know
Sorry, but my self-protection dragon must set you ablaze
Sent you off and away
Don't you know I move on to a different land?
It's not all castles walls and guards now
I'm all free!
Free as can be!
I'll mingle,
mingle and laugh happily...!
She released me from your shackles,
for the sake of my sanity
There might not be a knight...
Neither in shining armours,
nor galloping in on any horse or phegasus...
Nor am I my own hero,
or learned to fight for my own...
But my dragon,
she'll swoop me flying to places--
She'll keep on protecting me
Showing places we could never ventured,
you and me ...
And that's okay
Because she'll protect me,
and I will always be save
So I'll fly,
Goodbye, my love ...
In this imaginary grave,
I'll store your memory
Until I'm ready...
At least for now,
You never are, never was, and *never will be

If A Mannequin on Display
Emm Sep 2017
I'd get tired of the wait
Undress me and strip me bare again every season
Yes, I might enjoy the attention
But something I'd long,
is it so wrong?
More than just the adoration
I want you to make the bet
Always an onlooker,
never a taker
I wonder how it would be to go home with you
I promise not ask you to jump over the bar
Even though I know I can't give much either
That'd be more than what you'd bargain for
That'd be more than what I'm capable, and I'd lie to me,
Or until I learn to do so, maybe
but should I
would I?
Can I?
To bet my whole existence on something so fleeting?
your mere feeling
Although the power of persuassion
sometimes is a pressure so strong alone
Would you discard me,
once you take me?
Would I be less lonely,
would you be less lonely?
Would you regret me?
Would I regret me?
...
Sometimes I wonder so
and this yearning that I crave to know
But, always an onlooker,
never a taker
...

Union Dream
Emm Sep 2017
In between all these blur
and even though I was never sure
I would
try
and give my heart to you
no pressure
but you'll hold
my
future
I'll let you...
--no, you won't be another failure
no, I promise, you'wont...
so, let's fly
let's unite our hands and start anew
"yes, I do"
love you

Dear Anxiety
Emm Sep 2017
so i locked the door and let you fully entrap me,
and threw out the key,
because it's too easy....

but truly,...
day by day,
please, why should you tell only lie?
to me...
such my lonely cry...

but now i know,...
i have to just wake up and go!
get out there!
close my heart and live free
that's the only way you'd let me flee...
Emm Sep 2017
The future is calling out my name
Telling me to proceed with caution
one step at a time
and he tells me he'll take me there
But here I stand still
Would you believe every tale he tells?
No, I said I prefer
To march alone
Less ones to blame
But then, gone are the euphoria
Not a sentiment calmer
Laying low in my own lies
Because the taste of nostalgia
is sweeter
than a thousand delicacies

Blue Gingham
Emm Sep 2017
Crisp shirt
Buttoned up
Short sleeves
Blue gingham
In the least shades of vibrant colours
Black and gray,
the colour of our story
the colour of us
What's the point if we won't ever going to start
You belonged yourself to her
And who am I?
A passerby
Classic
Leather
Watch
Everything's reminding me of you
I'll erase my mind of out the picture
Let you stay stand proud with her
The calling of your life
Gentle touch
and sideway glances
Silly giggles--
Please stop
Let's stop
The road's been blocked ahead
and the passage way's closed
No use
Yet I think I love you
Emm Sep 2017
Here born a princess
Without titles or castles or jewels
With no crowns nor grounds nor lands
With no treasures nor exposures
With no prestige nor heritage nor lineage
Not even a silver spoon in her mouth she should’ve brag about
Not one subject or object
But all the same, with a name as grand
A celebration as loud
She’ll have the state-of-the-art carriages out of old tires
The best ball gowns from the best-deal market fares
She’ll have the best accessible education
And only the kindest words spoken
But she’s a princess only in his mind
And she should’ve known firsthand
Because there’s an invisible ladder she must climb
Not any elegant staircases she can glide down from
When the real world greets her unceremoniously
One amongst the rest
One among the many
Ranked in between the real deal the richest the smartest and the fairest
Fairly
As should be…
Because she’s a princess only in his mind
And she should’ve known firsthand
The hidden danger of a love bind
Emm Sep 2017
“There’s a tribe called the Morning tribe
And I can’t understand them
They wake up so early and yet get nothing done
Their mind is idle ‘til midday and they laze around ‘til sundown
They sleep way too early and are useless after 10
They would judge others who are not the same as they are
Calling them names and lazy”

“There’s a tribe called the Night tribe
And I can’t understand them
They sleep so late and yet get nothing done
Their mind is idle ‘til midday and they laze around ‘til sundown
They wake up way too late and are useless before 10
They would judge others who are not the same as they are
Calling them names and lazy”
Emm Sep 2017
This young man in front of me
Nor care nor hate
A sense of indifference
A sense of unfamiliarity
I don’t know him
He doesn’t know me
I don’t love him as much
I doubt he does as well
In my dreams
This young fragile baby in my cradle
The tiny tot,
grinning from ear to ear, an injection of innocence
Replaced with glum
How reality hits
How life hits hard
Carefree laughter
As replaced by swear words
Where did that little boy go?
I miss him dearly
Stroke his hair, watch him while he sleeps
I miss him dearly...
Keep coming to my dreams, little boy
That’s where you belong now

Dear, My Daughter,
Emm Jul 2017
Someday you'd ask me
in between the fine lines etched on your face
the fine lines in between good and evil
Someday you'd ask me,
on how people can be so crass,
how the world works and where do you stand in it...
So let me tell you before you ask...
...
Close your eyes, darling
turn your head away from all the bitterness of this world
Close your eyes darling,
from all the twisted minds, the turns and ***** tricks of it
Close your eyes darling,
from its dark secrets and its inhabitants'...
That's where the fountain of youth's at...
Look no further,
just close tour eyes, darling...
This world might be cruel and spiteful at times, but so shouldn't you be...
No...
I do not wish you to choose,
although the choices are yours,
I would say naivety is not a sin,
a naivety is innocence
I would never ask you to participate
Although and if this world is cold,
I wish you to withstand it,
because more than the beauty they see
is the core of beauty inside you
and that is what I wish you to hold...
Remember what you've been told...

At the Beginning
Emm Jul 2017
Sway, sway...
cradle me away
Pray, pray...
this love won't go astray

Nothing's new,
but this feeling is precious
precocious and nimble
One soothing gaze that took it all
Shot right through from your piercing soul
....

We are hot white marble and ashes,
let us be until,
we're cold white marbles and ashes

I like you and I'd like to stay

The Little Bird Mother
Emm Jun 2017
Twig by twig,
living a hollow,
dreaming a nest for the nestlings...
Chirpy screeching voices,
like lullaby to her ears
Awakening her sole purpose
A mother as well as a father figure
To protect
Nothing is too much
She'd feed herself to the tiger if she must
...
Breaking of a new dawn
another day to break
Until her nestlings can leave her nest
But never...
ever...
even so...
They are her own little royals,
forever ...
the only rulers of her life...

Blue, Decoy
Emm Jun 2017
Am I blue enough for you?
fallen cold feet in your hot water
has my heart been bruised enough for you?
pounded by your harrowing silence and skyscraping fortress which I cannot crawl into...

These four walls have become a better companion than the ghost of you
They echo my words so that I am less lonely
In a world that I would build someday without you
I would no longer falter into your decoy...

Romance is a Luxury
Emm Jun 2017
Romance is a Luxury
Reserved for those who were born with enough to live in
Those who laze in lavishness
The educations were wrong
It is not an equal platform where everyone can jump in and stay in
For those without so much fortune, what is its purpose anyway
Romance is a luxury for those with the idle minds
When the merchants are out to play, and people come to seek their goods
Romance is futile, romance is an illusion for those with marriage contracts
For a better stage, for a better filled garage…

Over Us
Emm Apr 2017
the roaring lion inside
reduced to timid ash
***** sheets and empty hearts
calling out from the desert
fata morgana?
a call from the past...
if you were a cube on the sand,
with the hot desert wind
cooling
down
all
hopes
of reconciliation
a ghost of the past
that's what you've become
you chose to be

fly away you falcon,
find another prey
i'll hide until you come back
an illusion of being

You and Her
Emm Apr 2017
Stop crying, you silly girl
what are you crying about
Ridiculous how a hand held can make you weep...
Fingers entwined... warmth... cosy...
Entitlement...

I'm alright...
I'm alright...
I'm alright...

It was silly of me, my mistake for believing what you never meant...
Exchanging plesantries were never meant for anything else,
of course...
Of course...
Forgive my imagination for reading fantasies into things...
My fantasies were all I see and not your intentions...
Petals bloom and wilt... It's your turn to bloom now...
So let me...--
I'll step back now...
Let you enjoy the warm sunlight...
I'm alright...
I'm alright...

Silly girl... what are you on about?...

A Piece of Memory
Emm Mar 2017
Opened a piece of memory,
found lost self
Caught a glimpse of her,
is she ever to return ... ?

This world feels cold dark and lonely now
Little miss sunshine, come back here and lighten me up...
Are you still there sometimes?
It feels surreal that once you were real
Where did you go, when did you leave...?
Do I like my current? ...
What is best, what was done?

Self doubt is creativity's sworn nemesis

It all feels blue and cold now, ...

So blue and lost, ...
Deep deep down in like the darkest of the sea
...


I caught a glimpse of you,
and I like you

Will you ever come back?
Are you better than me...?
Were you better than me ... ...?


Time, you do tell,
you and your playful tricks on me...

The Night
Emm Mar 2017
Why are you more enchanting than The Day?
Sometimes
As my thoughts are more pronounced,
When I can hear them clearly,
Lure me into your darkness,
Sooth, blanket my mind...
Come!
Let's laugh in our own secret little joy...
Let's dance and twirl 'til the sun rises...!
then we'll drift away quietly...
to another land where nobody finds us...
Mar 2017 · 317
She
Emm Mar 2017
She
She's called something, some people say...
She'd tell you lies no one else but you would believe
But her voice is as soft as sweet as enchanting as you'd never heard of
You'd drift in her ways before you know it
and before you know it, you'd believe her,
and before you know it, you're lower than ever before...

Down here everything is dark,
you'd forget everything you've ever believed in...
Down here there's no sense of mind...
you've lost yours somehow too...
She stole yours...
You'd believe so... maybe you plate it and handed it to her freely...
who knows...

But down here you'd want to crawl back up,
yes, crawl cause she stole the ladder too...
and there'd be no energy to shoot and jump...
or shout...

Silence...
Then you come out...
Try to forget...
Until she comes again...
Call me deluded...

You Said
Emm Oct 2016
You said I was selfish...
I believe you..
You said I'm not that bright...
I believe you...
You said I'm not fit for this surroundings...
I believe you...
You said I've made a mess...
I believe you...
You said I could've done something better...
I believe you...
You said he is better...
I believe you...
You said I'm not worth it...
I believe you...

You say I was wrong...
I BELIEVE YOU...

What do I say about myself?...
I don't know...
All my own voices have gone timid
Drown by your tumultous remarks...
Silence now...

Said the Dream Fairy
Emm Oct 2016
Let's sleep
Let's get out of this world
Let's forget this array of beings who hurt your pride
Let's shout our names loud and brave
In a new land where hope remains
Where there's no one but us...
Not one but us...
You and me as one...
With our thoughts and minds...
Let's leave
Let's get out
Now...
Time is imminent...
But we can make it through...
We'll smile again,
Whatever they are made of, they are not you and me...
Let's create our own world...
A place we want to stay...
Come...
Take my lead...
Come follow...

--...

I miss you...
Don't you miss me too?...
Come, let's find each other again...
Take my lead...
Come follow...

I said, "I want to believe you...
but should I do?..." ...

A Boy Broke My Heart Once
Emm Oct 2016
I left the key to my world at your hand,
I left the door ajar,
I invited you to come in.
I'm all bones stripped bare in front of your soul,
and secretly hoping you'd like it...
You stepped in --a feeble walking step,
you stayed for a bit but the grounds swayed too much you said,
so you tried,
and you flee at the first exit...
you left me, all bones and broken...
a boy broke my heart, and that was years ago
I flee, shut the door hard and threw away the key,
hoping not to be found,
I was not found...
questioning everything that I see, that I feel, that I ever long for...
I ran
I broke free
Now nobody could find me
but now not even me...
I lost me too...
Somehow in the run away from you, I lost me and not you from my memory...

No Knight in Shining Armour
Emm Apr 2016
I can't count the countless times you've made my heart sings with joy,
only you can find the perfect tunes that turn my blues to hopes of ballads again,
and you still do,
in my wonderment you still do...
and even though I know greed may be a part of human nature,
I won't want more,
what we are is enough,
I'm grateful and I'm happy,
let's stay this way until we part again...
Surely to me you're no prince riding the white horse to the sunset,
And you're no knight in shining armour,
just so you know,
you're better than that,
you're a walking companion who takes my burdens with your words,
my harsh thoughts glossed with your lightness,
I thank you dear, Sire...
you're sincerity and your genuineness,
that worths much, much more than the price I paid for...
when the yarns of fates are tangled up like they do,
I'm glad ours did this time...

7 Years
Emm Apr 2016
7 years and I still think of you
7 years and I still think of the memories
our memories that smell of dust of the past 7 years
still uneasy to forget the trail of dark cloud on my bright clear sky
it's not the lost of you that I'm trying to forget
but maybe it's the lost of me
you, the subconcious thief
of my sanity, pride, and sense of self
you made me question everyting I thought I knew
everything I thought I learned
you make me question...

7 years time flew by in the limbo
7 years as fresh as yesterday
as fresh as these clean washed sheets but not me
as I still smell of you
of the dust from the last 7 years

A Stranger From the Past
Emm Mar 2016
We never was and I don't want to start now
Knowing you are fine is more than enough for me
Please stay behind closed doors,
the safe zone that I know...

I wish you well but i'm not ready to begin,--
I will never be ready...

She called me up and said you want to say hi
I said okay but deep down I didn't
Now it's a week over and I'm in that time,
when I seem to meet you everywhere,
...a familiar face

It's just a time I know it will through
But I do wonder,...
do you still remember me so?  ...

Time has changed,
your endeavours went well
As it has always been,...
And me here,
stay sitting on the fence,
overlooking your grass...

Tell Me Tales of Love
Emm Mar 2016
tell me tales of love
not of lust
not of passionate embraces
but of foolish deeds
tell me tales of love
which warms the soul
of selfless endavours
engraved with honesty
tell me tales of love
entwined souls
masked with grandiose
inebriated minds
a time-old tale
only time will tell
only time will witness
do, ... tell me tales of love

Thoughts of an Ex-Lover
Emm Feb 2016
He's embarrassed
His ears are always flustered when he is so

He laughed
Reminded me of the time passed
Yet he looked happier today
I can't be happier

Shouldn't bother
Yet memories linger
Although hopes fade
And expectations are forgotten
Care chose to stay

I shouldn't bother

Emotion
Emm Feb 2016
What's so great about emotion is it's passing notion
Gone without a trace
Leaving only slight traces of distant familiarity...
Wonders how something that insignificant can drive such force
Wanders...
--off and away from conciousness...
Logic...
--or the lack thereof...
On the spur of a moment, in a blink of a passing thought...
Going away...
Like the waves of the ocean... leaving traces behind ... on the forever changing grains of sand...

You...
Emm Nov 2015
my juvenile being,
your calming presence
not to be attached to you the whole time,
worry not, ...
as I'm perfectly fine in finding my own hapiness
...
but when we're together
you balance me out...
you're the ground under my seesaw
you bounce me back,
yet you'll always catch me when I fall

no words can seem to express my gratitude...
but if you will,...
please do take these sentiments...
if you may,...
just to acknowledge them,
as please don't resent them...
as i don't need any reprocications
as what we are now is all I need

Blanket Me O Night
Emm Oct 2015
Blanket me, o night,
Cover me with your soothing cool breeze,
Embrace me with your serene darkness

When all the world is at its quietest,
Take all my worries and replace them with dreams
Cradle me with your tranquility
Let me float in nothingness until the golden sun gentle touch

Blanket me, o night,
You who understands me most
We who understand each other in quietude

My Friend, Hope
Emm Oct 2015
I met Glee through her presence,
I miss her when she's not around
'Am I deluded? You are my drug, Hope, I think I love you, addicted to you,...'
Little did I know of her ulterior motives,
of her two faces which I should knew about,
of her flightiness and fragility,
She left me, stranded, over and over again,
lost in confusion and deep down in this dark pit,
I don't think I can crawl back without her,
but I don't know where to find her,
nor do I think I want to believe her anymore,
hanging all my lifelines on her...
She's not... capable... of sustaining me...
There she goes again,
like wisps of smoke,
and I fell even harder and deeper as she keeps pushing me to Reality, the guy I'm running away from
should I befriend him? should I accept him?
I want to believe in you, Hope, I really do...
please let me,
even though I know I should still be the one doing all the work...

I Dreamed of You
Emm Oct 2015
I dreamed of you,
you and your glorious spirit,
infectious and dangerous

I dreamed of you who is not mine,
of our times archived,
distant as if long lost and forgotten

I dreamed of you and our strong ties,
as if we're still together,
and times are easy

I dreamed of you and I long for you
as much as dreams don't make sense
feelings are true yet they deceive often
Wishes are only wishes,
I know

Not today,
for these 24 hours I will wallow in my memories of you,
of our odd encounters
basking in my sentiments,
before you leave again
just like I did before

A Beautiful Mind
Emm Apr 2015
His mind is like a place I don't want to leave
A treasure behind so many trap doors
A place I'd love to live in and stay in
A wondrous land where every turn is an adventure
So rich and vivid
Yet so warm yet so intricate
It spans deep and far and wide
Yet the weather is always sunny
Where the soil is rich
Where every seed thrown shoots up and fruitful
A beautiful soul

They Say
Emm Feb 2015
'they say be yourself
and then they judge you'
stop it already
i don't fit your mould
if you feel comfortable in it
keep it to yourself
care i less with your stigmas
as dogmas
and expectations
and don't put them on me
i mean no harm
and should you regress me
to make me find happiness
in the superficies of this world
maybe i would
because i should
since there seem to be no more happiness
in being me
thanks to you and me
for letting me
for letting you
keep my leash
although,
take this
IDGAD
i'll run free
among you
dare i try

Despair
Emm Jan 2015
Despair is an old company
In lighter days he’s the shadow overcasting every object
In darker days he’s the strongest
Strangling and suffocating
Clouding all reasons for treason

Was he born with me,
I always think he lived this world long before I did
How he found me how I wish he never did

Despair is an old felony
He lived longer than any of us, and he will live longer than any of us
To love him is unutterable
But to let him linger or to let him pass for another time
That might be a way

Unlock Me
Emm Sep 2014
I envy those who're not afraid of living,
of life and all the possibilities it brings,
as I clamber cowardly in my corner,
towards nowhere, in circles,
crippled by my fear of the unknown future

I admire those who walks straight in front of their own handicaps,
as I hunch my spine scraping for my confidence and self worth

I wish my image can stand tall to fulfill who I really am,
but one says, and one knows the journey to the summit of one's self is trying and arduous,
and somehow sometimes I found doubts are easier to find, and belief is the rarest jewel

BELIEVE
but are you really the key?

What If
Emm Aug 2014
Please don't say you'll love me forever,
only to console,
only to make me smile,
We'll only make it linger,
and I'll only be naive to believe...
and make all my decisions around that premise...
And you'll only break my heart,
and you'll seem to break your words,
because to you it wasn't a promise...
only a statement,
a spur of the moment...
But by all means, please do so in the quietest to your own heart,
when I'm not there,
where I'm not there
Because I don't ever need to hear it,
all that matters is that IF, you'll stay...
or you'll stray...

What Do You Want?
Emm Aug 2014
'Qu'est-ce-que tu veux ... ?'
and there goes the spiral of time,
endless rabbit hole of time,
lost in the space-time-continuum...
Animated but staying,
existing but inanimate...

These things that people do,
things that then they'd think'd define them,
there're so many things to do,
I kind of just want to float amongst them...

What do I want ...
What do you want?

Is it any worth of questioning at all?
For the time wasted thinking but not knowing,
not deciding,
or choosing, or even preferring,
just taking all in in a blasé observation...
Emm Aug 2014
Looking down at everything through a knife sharp analysis
Shaded with logic and facts
Before the world disappointed us
Or we disappointed we
Then we ran away and created a world of our own
A world that is much more simple and happy
Full of possibilities
A carefree one
An illusion some say
Somewhere more inhabitable than the reality we realised

We used to be the realist weren't we?...

Do you want to be again...?

Do you want to go back...?

Older
Emm Aug 2014
Your old body probably with a young soul
We're not so different you and me,
perhaps,
as I think I start to know how it feels,
clinging to the glory of the fountain of youth.
Yet what should be imparted wisdom doesn't come naturally,
it doesn't come certainly,
certainly doesn't come through your disapproving glances,
or through your continuous effort to invalidate the youngers.
Probably we're not so different you and me,
as I think I start to know the temptation,
the temptation of void self glorification,
a route I think created by the pestering need of self validation,
Yet I don't think I'd choose what you choose,
as much I would think I'm capable of,
I'd choose to learn,
rather than opposing the newborns

Romance
Emm Aug 2014
Romance is when you sit by me,
and not saying anything,
when your presence is enough,
when your warmth fills my thoughts,
comforting, and understanding,
Romance is when our minds meet,
through the voice that is silence,
stringed together tightly with mutual trust,
Romance is not the roses you bought me,
or found in your passionate kisses,
although the thoughts really do count,
and I'm more than flattered,
and sincerely grateful to you,
and will forever try to reciprocate the same,
to express, in the hope that you will understand,
should that be your way to understand,...
But in all honesty,...
I found,...
nothing is more romantic,
than when you share your solitude with me,
when we share our utter solitudes,
together

Prejudices
Emm Aug 2014
Oh, the price to pay to be slightly different!
To slightly walk towards a different direction from the crowd
How weary it is to go slightly against conformity!
How dreary it is to go along with conformity!
The conformance that often confines one's own creativity
The solitude that goes along in breaking free
Stemming from general envy
Of a life run free

Sleep
Emm Aug 2014
Whatever bad day I have,
Somehow after I meet you,
I'd lean to forget,...

Every night,
You'd wash them away,
Like the wave,
To the sands on the shore,

You,
To my memory...
Somehow, you ease...
You distance...

The days when I lose you are the worst days ever
You'd be cruel to keep with you the ruddiness out from me
And I'd walk like a failing zombie
Failing from my own self, running for cover

Seems like I need you...
Seems like I'd need to love you...
O Sleep...

Us These Days
Emm Aug 2014
and then you recluse...

to a side of you i'm not invited to
to a part of you i have no presence in

pars pro toto
you took bits of me that you dislike
totem pro parte
and blame other parts of me based on the faux whole 'me' that you created

when you think you need it
when you feel you need to stand your ground

using 'me'
against me

as you choose to exclude yourself from the picture...

everything in this life comes with an expiry date
most are far shorter than life itself

what are we without governing principles and morals
but mere primal

marry a cow!
we're all the same!

what's the point of winning
you're losing the millisecond you react to share your hurting feelings

i wish we can talk...
or wave goodbye in plain grassy field...
or probably, ... sit solemnly side by side in acknowledgment...

as the genesis of our days is long past...
as there never was needed any conclusion

Baka!
Emm Jul 2014
Fear
Always fear

The runaway
The self-made convict

Every step
Plagued with doubt
Every thought
The lack of motives

Isolation -
Shunning all possibilities

Doing nothing is doing something
Silence is a word well understood

Repercussions...
is a promise whose hand you shook in stillness

When are you going to learn that the only way forward is...
through?

do.it.now


'You are standing in your own way!'
'Move over!'

The Heart
Emm Jul 2014
closing the gates,    one more time,
visitors out, it was deserted anyway
the heart has been put on the pedestal, gathering dust
been picked up several times only to be put back down
each time shabbier than before
a little scratch here
a little dirt there
wondering will the gates be opened again
should it
or whether the heart was worth the price
or will anyone finally take it home
and prize it highly
as every heart should

I Weep
Emm Jul 2014
I weep for those broken dreams,
for those shot straight down by self doubts,
for self confidence or the lack of thereof

I weep
I weep for the time passed unused, questioning one's abilities,
instead of letting them flourish,
practicing and learning,

I weep
I weep for those times when that 'no' at first knock put as 'NO' for ever

I weep for those souls who feel too old,
too small,
too young,
too worthless,
too dumb,
too short,
too many things in the face of their dreams

As those glorified self image seems shattered and stupid
We are all the same
no better one than the other
Comparisons are futile
the only bars are the ones from within
The only way is inside out
help each other out
one step at a time
then
WE.ARE.GOOD
always
