Being broke is dire frustration
reliance on self diminishes so low
only the spirit left alive yet weakening
kiss of death becomes the ultimate wish
endurance dwindles, self-esteem dying too
no longer inspired to take the second chance.

Dreams have lost their glitters
restricting ones interest to explore
even the simplest thing which give hope
and joy can not be seen by the blinded heart
mangled by failures that paralyzed the inner soul
settling down-west like a sullen sun to hide the pains.

I am locked-in within my soul
filled with emotions concealed
in my heart wanting to disclose
all these intuitions surging within

Oration is never my exhibit
but poetry is my sole release
real freedom I have truly own
as my innate tool of expression

Looking behind bars of solitude
from this caged of self seclusion
I can view with an insightful eyes
the chronicles of human existence

I may not be a wise poet
but I can not help to be prolific
as I have much thoughts to share
to the world for which I shall be free

I made a promise to you
But I did not fulfill it though
Forgive and forget my failure
I will make amend in the future.

I said I will always love you
But I did not illustrated it though
Forgive and forget my neglect
I will rectify on the subject.

I vowed my loyalty to you
But I did not prove it though
Forgive and forget my pretense
I will be true to recompense.

Marriage is a sacred vow
an innate romantic chain
that bind the devotion
of the couple in love.

Yet along in the way
temptation intrudes
into the privacy
of marital romance.

Third party comes
alluring temptress
breaks the chord
of marital loyalty.

The other partner
succumbs to lust
drowns the bond
and kills the love.

Two things may happen
in extra-marital affair
marriage smeared, or breaks
eventually love dissolves.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
as I see you each morning
when we wake up each day.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
as our love binds us strong
with trust and forgiveness.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
as we live surfing this life
and till death do us part.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
shall always be my praised
now and beyond for eternity.

Why there is poetry?
Such is a wise question,
as it has been man's gateway
to the world of innate imaginations...
about what makes the world go-round!

Poetry is everything!
It's the intimate expression,
and ultimate passion of the heart
that enthuse human endearment...
to explore, expound candid sentiments!

Poetry is life itself!
Without it life is empty,
and becomes insignificant
as there shall be no meaning...
to every moment that we spend!

Poetry make poets!
As it excites emotions,
inspires to compose poems
which explicitly lit a rainbow...
to give colors to our existence!

This ardent adoration
lingers in my heart
for a loved one
like you!

Yet you never answer
or even act to reciprocate
to the expressions I staged
do I need to extract my heart?

Perhaps it meant to be
that I have to bear alone
this unsatisfied love for you
nevertheless, true love can't die!
