I'm running--

Running out of sadness that I absorb from songs.

Night sky
ChinHooi Ng Aug 2015
Lonely moon
steps out of the clouds
dim light reflected on the lillow
like its hazy image
that evokes
melacholy fantasy
the moon flying far
secret light
shining in
quiet serenity
through dark curtains
faint rays
flowers floating in
the residual biting wind
the moon
slipping away
in the bright
sky.

A poem?
Shadow Oct 2020
The night is cloudy and the stars don't shine,
The raindrops on the window are illuminated by the cold street light.
Perhaps I would be able to hear the roaring wind
but it is silenced by the tick tock of the clock on the wall.

Maybe, maybe I will write again,
Maybe, maybe I will learn to play a happy tune,
One day I'll forget elegies
And stop making these melacholy effigies

I don't really like rhyming now,
They sound too happy and are sometimes cheap.
I rather write to my poems and say, "Thou
art my biggest mystery, you're too shallow. You're too deep."

So in conclusion,
I don't know why I'm writing.
All I know in this confusion
Is that the night is cloudy and the stars don't shine,
The raindrops on the window are illuminated by the cold street light.

The clock is ticking. Tick. Tock.
The people are hollow,
The people are stuffed
leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw.
"This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but with a whimper. "

— The End —
