Luxury- five hours of sleep
I'll be happy then
A good sleep please.

i hope we’re enough
Isabelle Mar 2018
it must be
the shared loneliness
the craving for warmth
the longing for love
and then there is time
and distance too
but there is us
and i hope it’s enough
for you

belle 01
Isabelle Apr 2019
she sings of broken dreams and loneliness
she smells of *** and cigarettes
she takes me high, she takes me low
she is the belle i can’t let go
she dances for me when she is high
she tells me she loves me but it’s a lie
she gets me high yet she let’s me down
but still she is the belle i can’t let go
a song called belle
she, the belle i can’t let go

Tears
Isabelle Apr 2019
93
it can be a drop of clear fluid
or a cut, a rip, a wrench
but when you said your last goodbye
oh darling
my heart bleeds through my eyes
and suddenly, tears
it means saline solution
and at the same time a laceration
and my heart, oh my good heart


it tears...

with nothing but all of me

All I Need (edited)
Isabelle Jun 2016
~
I don't need a palace
Your arms is my house
You are my home

I don't need cars
Even it's a hundred yards
As long as I walk with you

I don't need jewelries
I am wealthy enough
To have you is a treasure

I don't need forever
For each moment feels like a forever
When I am with you

I don't need much
Only your attention
Only your affection
Only your love

I don't need much
All I need is YOU...
~
all I need is YOU..

Writer's Block
Isabelle Jul 2016
I've been trying to write stories
then my mind wanders into fantasies
I could not find a perfect subject
so I looked everywhere for an object

But still..

Another writer's block
tik tok tik tok said the clock
write a line, write a line
and find a rhyme, find a rhyme
Oh! I found a dime, I found a dime!
Lets buy some wine!

tik tok tik tok said the clock

Delete the first two verses
Because it was all nonsense
Please give me a concept!
In return I will try to write you a sonnet
Said, I WILL TRY to write you a sonnet

tik tok tik tok said the clock

I am running out of time
I am running out of lines
Sorry for the rumbling
I really am struggling
Couldn't find a perfect subject
So my papers here are wrecked
Haven't written anything good since the past few weeks. Ughh.

Wish

i asked the genie
if i could get a five wish
instead of three
“my lady, the more the wish,
the more you greed,
so now let me grant your wishes”
and so I told the mighty genie
“don’t let him forget me”
“don’t let him forget me”
“don’t let him forget me”
that’s it, now tell me if it’s greed
“don’t let him forget me”
“don’t let him forget me”
“don’t let him forget me”

I said "no" twice
Isabelle Sep 2017
I said “no” for the first time
At first it doesn’t seem right
I felt so guilty
And kept saying sorry
I felt so sad
It felt like I was so bad
It consumes me, guilt
It felt like it was my fault
As for the second time
It was a lesser crime
Still, there was a guilt feeling
But it somehow felt freeing
To say no without explaining
To say no without minding
To say no because you simply don't like it
To say no when you truly mean it
I'm learning it though..

*“found you”
someone once told me
“did you, did you??”


you’ll find me
between pages of a book
disguised in poetry
good or bad i maybe

you’ll find me
read between the lines
of your favorite songs
happy or sad i maybe

you’ll find me
in gardens, orchards
a nurtured flower
or just an ugly **** maybe

you’ll find me
look at the sky
i’ll be dancing among the objects
a dead star or the sun i maybe

you’ll find me,
traces of me
you’ll know it

i know, i know
you’ll find me,
wherever i’ll be
whatever i am

i know, i know
somewhere in this world
in the perfect time
i know, i know that
someday you will find
someday..

random act of kindness
Isabelle Mar 2018
no matter how small
no matter how simple
your act of kindness
is always appreciated
For that one friend who wrote something for my grandmother, i’m so stoked with your act of kindness, thank you for the comfort and words of encouragement. Sometimes, we receive random act of kindness from people we least expected, even strangers. Take time to thank them, they’re a blessing in disguise.

How dare you to comeback just when I decided to forget you?
Just like that?? Gawd. I've been trying to get you off my system for almost 3 months. I thought I was starting to get over you, but no, you got me confused again. Somewhere in the bottom of my hypothalamus, I know, it wants you to comeback. And somewhere deep in my subconsciousness, if asked if I want you back, I found myself answering yes... I hate you for what you have done to me, yet I still love you..

don’t let reality put you into chains

there is us
and somebody told me
that it should be enough
but there is culture,
religion and perspective too
there are diffeences
and us would not be enough
there must be respect,
understanding, acceptance
there must be more than just an us
there must be more than just love

find their way to stop

Broken
Isabelle May 2016
I dreamt of you
You were so blue
No flowers in bloom
The weather is gloom

Tears in the eyes
Pain and lies
Cuts like a knife
Takes away my life

I was hurt
Now with a broken heart
Now you were gone
And I am left undone
This is my first ever poem, I think 6 years ago? I like it for it's simple rhyme scheme.

this is not defeat
Isabelle Jul 2018
this is not a poem
but a declaration
of defeat, a concession
the things i can’t change
the feelings i can’t make
as i comeback to this world
i’m not even whole, not even healed
from whatever diagnosis
from whatever disease
that sicks this life
that plunges the heart and mind
i swallowed pills, the happy ones
i even injected acceptance
i’m not even sure if it will lead to healing
or just a temporary silencing
of the chaos, of the storm
that lives within my soul
but whatever it might be
wherever it might take me
i now understand that not all lost battle is a defeat
and not all who concede are weak
and now is my turn, ohhh
i concede to this beautiful life

My good morning
Isabelle Aug 2017
The morning shines
The sun is beaming
Everyday she blossoms
Like flowers in spring

Contagious smile
A lovely laughter
My heart will fly
At the sight of her

To open my eyes and see her
Oh I can stay like this forever
She is my morning coffee
That wakes every part of me

She is a beautiful dream
But I like mornings better
Because everytime I wake up
I know she's real
I just feel inspired today

Is It Wrong?
Isabelle Apr 2016
Ms. Yin, meets Mr. Yang
Heaven and hell, it's a bang
I can hear the angels' sweet voices
But tempting is the devil's whispers
To whom shall I pray,
to blow the tedious night away?
To whom shall I listen,
to see the far glisten?

The angel promised a paradise,
told me to be kind and take each sacrifice
The sinister said, like the sun I will arise,
power and might, but you know the price

I admit, sometimes I'm losing hope
wanted to confess and talk to the pope
But then, an ill voice spoke
told me to get a rope or a dope
When I want an easy way out,
I listen to the ill voice, even in doubt
When my angel seems to abandon me,
In the darkness I flee

Is it immoral to stick to the dark side,
when fading is your guiding light?
Is it wrong to cling to the dark side,
when you find comfort in it and just want to hide?
Yep, sometimes i find comfort in darkness..

Don't
Isabelle Apr 2016
Don't ask me why I stop giving you attention,
When in fact you never gave an appreciation.

Don't ask me why I didn't fight
I know you will only say it wasn't right

So please don't ask me why I left
When in the first place, you never asked me to stay.
Random. Unfinished.

you are now a lovely butterfly?
if you only saw, if you only believed

I wish I can kiss your lips again
I wish I can taste your mouth again

I wish I am her
I wish the stares are for me
I wish the flowers are for me
I wish the letters are for me
I wish the "i love you's" are for me

But darling, I know
When we're together
You wished that she was me
You wished that I was her
You would not choose me either. I will never become her. Rebound.

look at the mirror
look at yourself
filled with broken poetries
from shattered dreams
and shattered heart
those deadbeat words
that never made it to your mouth
now choking you to death
those bloodstained verses
for unheard horrible screams
lurking in your head
look, look at yourself
my beautiful belle in disguise
the monsters you’ve tried to hide
the tears you’ve failed to free
look, look at the face you’ve faked
why can’t you just say you’re weak??
habits of belle

On Suicide
Isabelle Dec 2016
I've read a post on facebook about a girl who committed suicide. As per the narrator, she was a good person, a good leader, a good friend and as they can see a perfect daughter. But little did they know that she was suffering because of her parents. Her parents were dissappointed because she was not intelligent enough to graduate with flying colors, the pressure was too much that she wasn't able to carry it all. So she ended it all by taking her life away.


It makes me sad whenever I hear/read stories like that. Sometimes, I think that they are so brave, but sometimes I think they are just stupid to do it. But who am I to judge??

And to all the parents, you are suppose to know, support and understand your children, not to chain them and definitely not to cause them to die..

this is my personal opinion, so an advance apology for the sensitive topic
I don't want it to happen to everyone else in here, so please if you are suffering from depression, anxiety or any disorder, please talk to me. I may not ease or lessen the pain/burden, but trust me, it will feel so much better to let it out.

Changeling..
Isabelle Apr 2016
I was like a high school student
Afraid of leaving my comfort zone
Afraid of change and adjustment
Afraid of what awaits, the unknown

But this is reality, this is real life
I chose to work in a corporate world
So I have to deal with it like its my wife
And wait how my life will unfold

I am a grown up now
A professional, dealing with business people
Being stupid is not allowed
And it kinda freaks me somehow

Because I act stupid sometimes
And I am a bit antisocial too
Sorry for the rumblings. i don't know how to end this one, and my mind was so drained right now, so i'll leave it like this. Written date: 11:16pm, Friday, April 29, 2016

Mistaken
Isabelle Aug 2017
I am not pretty
That’s why you’ll never notice me
Don’t mention my hair
Don’t ask my day

Typical ******
Always on the corner of window
Don’t ask what music I listen
Don’t ask the poems I have written

Don’t ask me, don’t notice me
Because I am easily mistaken
Mere questions, I thought was an attention
A little attention, I thought an affection

Maybe that’s the reason
Why I easily get attached to people
Who shows even a little interest
Who shows even a little care

I always long for affection
That's why I am always mistaken
My subconcious tells me to write this.
Isabelle Apr 2016
Pushed the button to 6th floor
With my new dress, new hairstyle
Plus my most winsome smile
Cheerfully, i opened the door

Shocked expressions upon my entrance
Wide eyes, stares of awe
Made me feel like I was in trance
"I know, I look wow"

That moment took quite long
They start to eye me like I don't belong
Then I also start to comprehend
I do not know the faces of these men

Slowly, the smiles turns into a loud burst of laughters
My face, form blazing red to color of ashes
As I realized I was in the wrong room
To save myself, I laughed along with them

With an apology
I tried to exit gracefully
All the confidence I gather for today
Was all at once eaten away
Because I was a fool
For entering a wrong room
I promised myself to write at least 1 prose/poem a day. I didn't break that promise, yet. I wrote worry yesterday but wasn't able to post it. (Busy bee at work). And I guess I wouldn't be able to post my poems until Saturday. Written date : 10:54pm, Tuesday, April 26, 2016.

Isabelle May 2016
I heard the city screaming
My brothers are burning
If this is to end in fire
Then lets all burn together

I see fire
Bringing light
Taking away life

I see fire
color is red
everyone's bled

I see fire
flames high
into the night

I see fire
turning into charcoals
hollowing souls

I see fire
Cover my eyes
Ashes are falling down
from the sky of the town

I heard the city screaming
My brothers are burning
If this is to end in fire
Then lets all burn together
With reference to The Hobbit soundtrack, I See Fire.
I've been hearing firetrucks since yesterday.

YATS..
Isabelle May 2016
Hey Yats, are you there??

Yes*, he will always answer back..


That's where I got his nickname
He always STAY for me, so I called him YATS


Time passes by,
Growing up away from each other
The "always" turns into "sometimes"


But we managed to keep each other
And whenever we had a time to meet,
It always feels HOME


I still call him Yats,
He may not be physically present
but I know, he will always be there
He may not always stay, but I know
I just know, he's there..
There are people in our lives that no matter how long we haven't seen or talked to them, still it feels like home upon seeing them again. There is always a sense of familiarity.

so i wrote you a poem
Isabelle Jan 2018
amidst the sea of strangers
everything seems blurry, the only vivid is your face
.
my heart almost breaking my ribs
wanting to explode, it can’t resist
.
i wanted to be near you, i wanted to be yours
i wanted you to be mine, i wanted an ‘us’
.
so i wrote poems for you
everything in this galaxy
.
everything that can put to life
this blazing love
.
i wrote poems for you
i couldn’t count
.
i wrote poems for you
because it’s all i can do
.
i wrote poems for you
to lessen the pain of not having you
.
because somebody owns you
and i am trying live somehow
.
so i wrote poems for you
it’s my only way to get by
i loved you with a fire
ablazing till times end,
but somebody owns you now
and i tried to live somehow..

whenever a new arrow
plunges into your heart
you failed to feel
and now you’re looking
for love in all the wrong places
oh my darling belle
rest easy your heart

that pain of an arrow shot
someday, he will find you
and when he does, he will love you
the way you deserve to be loved
