Dream
Wei-Qi Ooi Sep 2013
Dream after dream,
he keeps appearing,
why in my dream?
to suppress that feeling,
but it's not working,
so therefore I lay back down,
and continue dreaming.

The Unfinished Story
Wei-Qi Ooi Jan 2013
Deep across the ocean,
beneath the blue oak tree,
I once had a  picnic there,
with an old bumblebee.

So let me tell you a story,
about this bumblebee,
it's not like the others,
no, this one was free.

Free to zoom across the fields,
in the old sunlight,
but one wish is all,
that crossed it's mind.

So I sat there,
under this blue oak tree,
I listen to his tale,
of the land and the sea.

It started long ago,
a day before I was born,
a farmer came down,
hoping to harvest some corn.

Just as he past,
the majestic tree,
oh he could not believe,
the sound of zooming bees.

Honey was better,
than harvesting corn,
for this was from a blue oak...

*And to this I must stop,
no not just the bee's tale,
for I am having a writer's block,
you deserve to know...

So here I apologize,
let your imagination go wild,
but one more thing you should realize,
this story was meant for a child.

Fandoms
Wei-Qi Ooi Jan 2013
Oh my fandoms,
How dare you,
you leave me in silence.
after the violence,
you leave me in sorrow,
when there's no tomorrow,
when the character dies,
it's all just lies,
you mess with our hearts,
as we wait for the next part,
as for our otps,
you ignore our pleas,
then we turn to tumblr,
a site where we gather,
we talk about feels,
and help each other heal,
but nothing makes us more happy,
than Sherlock season three.

Chill
Wei-Qi Ooi Jan 2013
In this January weather,
I'm feeling cold,
maybe it's an inner chill that has built up within me.

The Debate
Wei-Qi Ooi Jan 2013
Which path should we take?
A talk show or a poster?

I sit here and listen,
listen silently as the two debate.

If it's a tie which would you chose?
a combination of both?
a separate presentation?
even if it means more work?

They argued on,
but not long after,
they get distracted,
only takes one person to drive back the question.

As for I?
I am just sitting here,
spilling words,
or rather,
for a more literal term,
'typing' words,
seeing as it appears,
onto the bright screen.

Bored in Class
Wei-Qi Ooi Jan 2013
Why is it?
I am bored.

Why do I?
keep wishing for Friday to come.

It's Thursday morning,
so why am I?
wishing this day would end.

Shouldn't I?
I should,
use this day to the fullest,
But why don't I?

The feeling of boredom,
it still overwhelms me.

It's my first class of the day,
and here I am,
I'm still sitting with boredom,
but as I do,
I thought of a poem,
and this poem,
it sank into me,
it's not the smoothest poem,
but it tells my thoughts...
I wrote this poem having a little of a writer's block but still felt like writing. Sorry if it does not really flow too well.

My Physics Homework
Wei-Qi Ooi Jan 2013
Here I am,
Physics book,
right in front,
my tiredness,
closing in on me,
should I sleep?

No I shouldn't,
not with my ten unsolved problems,
why must it be so difficult?

What Poetry Means to me
Wei-Qi Ooi Jan 2013
It's my heart,
my voice,
my poetry.

While words are too simple,
poetry speaks for me.

While stories are too fictional,
poetry speaks for me.

It expresses feelings,
it makes me feel free,
for the poems I write,
who knows if it's true?

Regardless of the truth,
poems evoke feelings,
which I consider genuine,
regardless if it's the truth.

Playground
Wei-Qi Ooi Jan 2013
Swings, cars, a dog's bark,
I've been here the playground,
the one familiar place outside my school,
but it's not here,
just a memory.

I've been there this playground,
deep in my memory,
waiting to be forgotten,
but nostalgia remains forever.

Panda
Wei-Qi Ooi Jan 2013
How much can they eat?
Oh the green, skinny trunk,
the “less than a handful” leaves,
how much must be sacrificed to satisfy them?

I sit here on this wet bench thinking,
digging the earth of wood chips with my feet,
not caring about the other reality,
just wondering more of the black and white bear,
as I stare into the bamboo trees.

Pathway
Wei-Qi Ooi Jan 2013
The pathway towards two leafless trees,
I walked casually stepping onto some occasional mud,
The field to my right are of student statues,
observing their surroundings,
just as I was.

The pathway ended,
Two empty trees shaded me like a pair of poles,
It shaded me from the warmth of the sun and all that's left is the cold.

Divided by a flimsy fence,
cars zoomed by leaving a stench of smoke,
The birds however continued to sing.

The One who Raise Me
Wei-Qi Ooi Jan 2013
What can I say?
they are hardworking,
they are tired,
yet they never complain.

Why is it?
I feel guilty,
I feel bad,
yet I never do anything.

Their cheerful smiles,
it roams across the room,
so why is it?
I feel somber.

Yet I know,
how could I ever?
it’ll just bring shame,
If I tell them what’s on my mind...

The Sister I See
Wei-Qi Ooi Jan 2013
She sits there,
frozen like a statue,
fingers apart,
typing on the running technology.

Glossy eyes beneath her ever clear glasses,
as I watched her I wonder,
have we been consumed by lifeless objects?
is this our future?

Sitting lifelessly on the other consumer of our life,
only moving to adjust her glasses,
the girl sits there,
eyes pierced into the ever quadrilateral brightness.

The feeling of regret,
it illuminated the vicinity from the sitting girl,
yet I am doing the same,
writing this poem.

— The End —
