I am not a **** It’s a shame If that’s what you see When you look at me I’m not a gangster Or a rapper I’m not the images Plastered all over T.V. I’m respectful to women I was taught this By my mother I’m willing to fight If the cause is right But mostly I’m a lover …A good book Despite If you like It’s cover Compassionate Thoughtful And considerate Of others I’m not lazy I'm not a thief I'm not a criminal Who runs the streets I work at least 60 hrs. per week And don’t be surprised When you realize I’m very articulate When I speak I’d rather read a book Than shoot hoops On a basketball court Music is my passion And I write poetry for sport Love is my drug And I put it Into everything I do It’s pure Strong And addictive too I bet you won’t see that On the news! I am not a **** So please don’t assume You could be missing out On a good friend Don't let your preconceptions Resume Don’t keep your mind closed Open up …Make room I'm not a **** I am a MAN Try to get to know me Then you'll find out Who I Am

I Am Not a ****
When a rose bud is born... It slowly raises it's head... Like wise was my tiny baby s sleeping closed eyes.. deep in sleep.. The stark deep red rose bud comes out of the green... The same was the brightness of my son... Spotless, shining, serene.. The bud blooms, That bright, glowing, strong petals Likewise was the skin of my son... Like a shining sun.. But alas we love the young buds a far too much We cut it and put in in vase I am here staring at a bud like that in a hospital, From behind the glass wall I am staring both.... I am reading innocence of both... In NICU, my son is sleeping, lost in between the pipes which is giving him life, The bud too in the vase thinking of it's mother...yearning to be in arms of it's mother.. The *** that holds it's mother out side.. Is also waiting for it to return...maybe!! May be scared to bloom another bud.... The pain of losing is thr for both of us... To loose is easy To live in uncertainty is not... How does a new born baby feel...I know not... How to satisfy day old baby s hunger ....I know not.. How is a 6th day* celebration done I know not... How does it feel to bathe a new born...I know not... What I know though Is that my new born is sleeping in NICU I have been staring him from glass for past one month I will wear clean, sterilized clothes am ushered to be near him.. For few seconds... Once in 24 hrs... My maternal love becomes alive... Though I go near him, cameras are thr, I cannot touch him, I can feel his breathing..I can see him sleeping... My hands behind.. Face covered with mask.. I gaze at him with blurred eyes, I give him love of both his dad* and myself... Just for that moment... Both of us again stand behind that glass wall We show our son to all those who pass by We hide our tears behind our smiles.. We stand again in wait thr... When I took my month old baby in my arms for first time.... He is still the same, he looks still the same... How are these wonders of universe, the creators.. How can a colorful life become color-less.. Each day, each moment some where a new bud is born.. A new creation everyday... Sparkle in Wisdom

Poems mean a lot to me indeed a very lot you see the society I live in is reflected in all the lines   love is very important almost a sin and the always one glasses of wines    the best medicine for our health they say is also wealth but I regard love is the most important remember I am human not a mutant love is the best for our life it is obvious that we must strife love is like the present wind that blows constantly so tender in through my thirsty body and mind I reside in this country oh so kind   a country full of peace, plenty of place and love to hide that's why I have my domicile here and reside    My beloved likes reading and traveling we have seen parts of the world a very lot I have other kinds of interests, like painting writing essays, listening to music, and praying to God building websites, designing cards and yes conducting PC Help desks, accounting, telebanking, and playing chess in London and Serfaus, going to musicals and skiing, along the Mediterranean sea, enjoying life, making love while driving how do I do that, d'you really want to know, dear? while whatsapping, walking, running, and the music to the ear really very simple, your love in you, your whole soul in there, just like our parents using tupperware but ah, I like most to describe the love in poems I write then posting them for your most beloved after that heavy night since love is so important in our life you must not take it for granted but must strife we can't miss it in our life its function like: though sometimes on our highway a junction it's like the great water of the mighty ocean it has grip on you, you feel the strength, but it's your addiction the strong water's ripples too, its mildness you demand the best, the most but never less and remember for ever that in the country I live in the kind of love I'm so addicted to, is never a sin in the end my heart and being will constantly say Amen © Sylvia Frances Chan 15th August 2013 - 5.21 hrs a.m. WETime

MEMORIES OF SAND I gave up sweeping that year Like a penance As sand permeated Everything in my condo Clung to my scalp and feet Blew in with the fog and landed In my tub, between my sheets, the sink, the carpet Gritted between my teeth in the early hours When i would reach for her still Before the memory would detonate around me that she didn't come. I would follow you anywhere. Morphed into I can't. I hate those dagger give-up words. Unlike the sand I reviled in coaxing the beach closer still And sand blurred the boundaries of my life Inside.  Outside. Past.  Present. Old.  New. I could pull the blanket of crashing waves around me in hypnotizing hues Breathe in the turquoise or gray or navy blue Of the mecurial moods of the sea. Each morning ritual of coffee and perching 8 foot tall on the sea wall studying the swells and tides I could palpate the energy of my spirit rising around the waves Curling and mixing as Aqua-purple-red dragonflies hovered at my veranda hibiscus that murmers truths I do no want to hear. And in all that aloneness settled a great quiet still emptiness. Because I couldn't cry I'd go diving in the persistent waves of salt and kelp. The cold violated my eardrums and for a moment I'd go spinning-disoriented and weightless-suspended Surrender without air as the Pacific held me buyouant Only surfacing to breathe like a Baptism.  I was ok being alone. And sometimes I wasn't. As the sand exfoliated my old self I'd grasp hold of the new wonders of phosphorescent tide under a harvest moon And the fading memory of her would rise like a helium balloon I held down for 2 hrs and 4 weeks at Surfers Point in Ventura Then let her go into the abyss of acceptance Like granting permission to the invading sand Gathering like whispers In disappearing corners of her absence And leaned into the redefinition of myself: Barefoot.  Sandy.  Expectant. The memory of sand.

wednesday  ..                       is faded black jeans/old white tank (too big) (hole from belt buckle centre front) glass of water stuck into the rings left by past week's mugs of beer sitting by the ashtray. and you are better than a nip of rye in the truck cab heading to work. the dust in my lungs (wide open saskatchewan fields) is not as important as watching the clouds stain purple with the sunrise patting two gorgeous farm dogs who run over from behind a silo turned to bronze in the light (there is an angel laying naked in the wheat grain) to nip playfully at my calves while i unchain the derrick, somewhere in my mind's recess it feels like i am loosing atlas from his ******* tho i do not register the thought until later upon waking from a nap. saturday // 1:15:44 pm i am in only briefs now working on a song/i clocked 4                                                                                                       hrs greasing truck 1117 this morning and hauling pallets. daylene from dispatch brought in donuts. i'll spend the afternoon listening to kanye and talking to women online. —there are no girls in estevan. i have (kind of) looked.                                                        sometimes i believe this to be pathetic but then i think further ahead and it's not so bad. you do really meet some nice girls. phone is replete with their numbers & they keep me company on long rides to and from leases, asking about work. hoping that i am well.

(temporality.) 15/10/2012 there are now three beer cans on the carpet & one on the washing machine by the bathroom door which i will drink in the shower. it was sort of a long day.

She loved him, They were young and stupid, She was sad, he was happy, Their relationship moved too quickly, Although young they indulged in intimate love. She loved him, They were young and stupid She was sad, he was happy, He was busy being a child, this upset her, She hurt herself and blamed it on him. She thought she loved him, But they were young and stupid, He was tired and hurting, He asked to confide in a childhood, female, friend. It was not taken well. She loved him, But she was too young to understand, There was no reply for 37 minutes, She facetimed him in tears, She reversed the camera to show what she had done, Crimson blood ran down her arms, It dripped down, corrupting the beige carpet, Tears fell alongside the dark drops, Her mum entered. The call ended. She loved him, 2 hrs later he thought he’d killed her, He broke up his ****** prepubescent razor, Without a second thought he dug it into his leg. Crimson blood ran down his leg, It dripped down, corrupting the beige carpet, Tears fell alongside the dark drops, But no one entered, no one to help him. She loved him, She got stitched up and it became like it never happened. He loved her, He was left scarred and that image of her wrists never left him. 4 years later he sat in his room, Alone, He wrote a piece of text. This Isn’t a Poem. Its My Life.

This Isn't a Poem. This is My Life
To all those that were reading my last piece,'Split personality' I had to take it down sadly after it had trended to a hundred reads in 3 hrs. But I wrote quickly and used the word 'cohabit' without realizing what it implied... you throw that in with 'brotherly loyalty' and the whole piece just reads a lot gay... now, I'm not hating on gay people... I just don't swing that way, wouldn't want my poems to give off the wrong impression... all said and done... I have just had a good laugh at my own expense hahahahaha

A million different thoughts What! If! How! A duet it continues, a lamentation to oblivion Assorted brain functions carry on like a clock keeping time Not higher but primal try to carry on normality The physical suffers as they inflict damage upon my tissues, organs and emotions Practicality doesn't warrant candid thought "Tell me about your childhood" Which one!!! One battles to suppress the other and take its throne of light It has no place in my mind in this irrelevant state of chaos Then like a calm before a storm you could hear a pin drop in the void between my ears They are neither here or there The quantum moment of exchange Everything becomes nothing Nothing becomes everything The dead emptiness for seconds as the transition takes place As the vacuum of hopelessness once again ***** the lucid thoughts away Tortuous like air from a dying man's lungs Trying to cheat the ferry man Not on his final journey, oh no that would be relief  and sometimes prayed for to a god I don't believe in But my now daily fight to refrain from losing  myself into the abyss I only focus on what I think I can balance between Rationality of day when I can maintain it and screaming pain of turmoil at night I live two lives split like continents, never touching again after they separated Yet in binary to each others existence, a duet of spatial rage It is the cold reality, my curse, my fate Two individuals one body, arguing for supremacy Both alert both sharp both denying the other audience One during the waking hrs one during the slumber A Duet of desperation as they battle to trade places night for day, day for night One a craftsman one a scholar The church would call it possession A physician a personality disorder I call them my Daemons Part of me yet all of me You? You may call us friends

One battles to suppress the other and take its throne of light It has no place in my mind in this irrelevant state of chaos Then like a calm before a storm you could hear a pin drop in the void between my ears They are neither here or there The quantum moment of exchange Everything becomes nothing Nothing becomes everything The dead emptiness for seconds as the transition takes place As the vacuum of hopelessness once again ***** the lucid thoughts away Tortuous like air from a dying man's lungs Trying to cheat the ferry man Not on his final journey, oh no that would be relief  and sometimes prayed for to a god I don't believe in But my now daily fight to refrain from losing  myself into the abyss I only focus on what I think I can balance between Rationality of day when I can maintain it and screaming pain of turmoil at night I live two lives split like continents, never touching again after they separated Yet in binary to each others existence, a duet of spatial rage It is the cold reality, my curse, my fate Two individuals one body, arguing for supremacy Both alert both sharp both denying the other audience One during the waking hrs one during the slumber A Duet of desperation as they battle to trade places night for day, day for night One a craftsman one a scholar The church would call it possession A physician a personality disorder I call them my Daemons Part of me yet all of me You? You may call us friends

When a barroom filled with laughter can't lift your head, even momentarily, from your sad, soggy plate of nachos-for-one... When passing girls in narrow hallways flash the fires of passion from their eyes into yours simply to be smothered under a heavy, wet blanket stare; a cumbersome quilt of all your yesterdays' shame... When the supernal opportunity to live for another 24 hrs is met with all the ambition and grace of a house cat forced into a cold bath... You are used up to this world. You are lost to your purpose of being. You are dropped to the dirt like a flower whose spiked stem pricked the caressing fingers of it's holder. Hold no expectation of a familiar, loving hand to reach down, relieved to pick you up and reunite you with what you wish to be; or to place you where you belong. Look around, The ground is littered with us unwanted things. We've all seen that ***** pair of disregarded underwear, miserably caked in rainwater mud, laying on the side of a road or under a bridge somewhere. Whose hand is reaching down for that? But, I won't compare myself to a bum's forgotten underpants and neither should you. I'm sure the universe views us differently than that. It will soon pick us up, wash us of all those grimy wrongs and wear us out anew. Yes, that has to be true.

The Unwanted Things
Im in a crunch with school and work and 7 hrs sleep in 50+. I aint showered and my *** reeks of ***** outdoor musk type, like defrosted by the sun after freezing under the moon. Inevitably, mold and mildew add that nice after market aged/crusty scent. Sloppy wet diarrhea brought on by anxiety and doubt; I'm in a ****** hole collecting uneven magazine clippings uncomfortably. Here I am still, packing my belongings to leave the hole and find serenity. Yet, nothing gets taken out. Instead I'll be here for at least 7-10 more days waiting for the easy chair to be delivered from an order placed online at 3am when I could have been finishing a paper.

Not Sort of Utopia: Monster Murge
A weekend of extremes, where a lover became a demon A car became a transformer and a lifeboat A child made a new friend, a friend found a new voice Two fathers took comfort knowing their daughter's safe A new begining for one woman yet an adventure for a little girl Now a bath a cup of Earl grey tea and Edward Elgars chello plays on the radio It had no plan no agenda yet I feel strangely satisfied Some people can do that to you And yet it's only 7 pm so 5 hrs to go And lest we forget the apple crumble!!!

My weekend
The world seems more beautiful with anagrams Our body worst with so many kilograms What is that which we call a Rose, bet it's sure William, no Hamlet So many beautiful Anagrams So many beautiful Williams A wealth for our literature-home but as it had been told all those Williams is just a dome Poor late Mr. Shakespeare or whatever your being A Rose, a Sylvia, a Hamlet or a Morning-glowing The world is full of you, this Planet reads your Hamlet William I love you, you have drama All the others have only their dilemma You made the mankind started to read oh my lord, then started this creed you gave us this inheritance this grey planet a golden glance we cannot remain such a **** oh my Lord, we must first do our creed Sorry, my excuses, Mr. Shakespeare Can you please listen to me with this ear we exist because of God above, that's my life this creed first to my Lord, that's my strife then comes you and Hamlet at your side then this literature I abide I keep telling that you gave literature a golden glance I wish mankind knows what an inheritance! © Sylvia Frances Chan saturday 13-04-13 23.13 hrs. p.m.

Message from my Heart
My life has changed... I feel cold... Alone.. And upset... I cry silently.. I dont know how to move on and im trying i really am but i just dont know how. I feel something in my heart that i cant explain. Its like a physical pain but medicine doesn't work. My birthday is coming up and its hard to picture any celebration without you. My head hurts from missing you and sometimes crying. I know time will make it easier but noone talks about the "right now"... Part of me was amputated the day you left My heart weighs a ton yet its empty. Losing you has been tough although thats an understatement... Its been less than 48 hrs and i have at least 3 things to tell you already.. Who do i tell? I re-read our texts over and over and i smile because i have no regrets. You kno what you mean to me and i sure know wat i meant to you. I even have u tatted on me forever. We did so many firsts together and this.... This right here we were supposed to do together too... But you left me... You never think that the last time is the LAST time. These emotions come in waves. One minute im okay the other minute all these emotions come rushing and its overwhelming. The minute i think im alright it just starts all over again. I dont know how to handle it but i do know that time will make it easier to cope with. Some people know what you really meant to me. Others may say she was just your 2nd cousin. But... I've lost my best friend. Yes she was my cousin but thats at the bottom of the list bc blood couldnt make us any closer. She was my ride or die. Usually i was the one always arguing on her behalf tho bc she didnt have a quick enough comeback ever. My partner in crime, My confidante who knew everything and i mean everything even the TMI stuff. My comadre, i still dont kno what to tell the kids... And they just mentioned you today. My heart shattered in that moment. She was just my person... I can only wish everyone in this world can experience the bond like the one i had with her. The ties that bond us are impossible to explain. Our bond defied distance, time, or location because we were just meant to be. Because you are my person and will always be my person... I love you Me duele el alma..

Where do you live? you mean where I reside? On this beautiful forsaken earth I have seen many sins in fellow citizen's inside I have my pride but I wanna confess and it is 150% a yes that in my inside's hearth I have many more sins, much more than your rational would believe although I am an evangelist not certain a bliss but that was my beloved's Mum wish I dared not to refuse her since I am an obedient girl of course at school a rebel never for my dearest Mum after having graduated exactly three years after date. I must confess that I possess much more inner spirit now more patience than before more love and care than I ever owe Ahok was blamed for blasphemy that Islamic group lied constantly till they got him in prison such saddest tidings am still humming my love songs even though pained in one WhatsApp ago am looking for peace while conversing to my genius bro before he would close his golden window. my heart leap up with the strongest sense his caring soul did never offend i feel home in our parental house nine days closest to his loving heart i am truly blessed as his grateful part. © SYLVIA FRANCES CHAN Jakarta-Home, West-Java Time 21.00 hrs PM.

Transcendence. A word to pay attention to. To find that transcendence in you, that feeling within, that's the genius behind poetry. Transport. A word to pay attention to. To find that transport in you, that vehicle within, that's the transport self to find the genius in poetry. Transparence. A word to pay attention to. To find that transparence in you, that light within, that's the genius in poetry. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have written these lines first in DUTCH (my mother tongue) then in English: Transcendence. Een woord om aandacht te besteden aan. Om dat transcendentie in u te vinden, dat gevoel van binnen, dat is het genie achter poëzie. Transporteren. Een woord om aandacht te besteden aan. Om dat transport in je, dat voertuig binnenin, dat is het vervoer zelf om het genie in de poëzie te vinden. Transparantie. Een woord om aandacht te besteden aan. Om dat transparantie in u, dat licht binnenin te vinden, dat is het genie in poëzie. © Sylvia Frances Chan~~ Thursday 13th March 2014 17.17 hrs p.m. W.E.Time

Expressing Myself In Poetry
The exact representation of deception is likened to a delusional cognition which tunnels its way through craggy mountain ecosystems of the prefrontal cortex. The impairment of your executive functioning is evident, oh grandiose master of self-aggrandisement. It is now 04.20hrs in the Britannic pastures where desert storms are a figment of extravagant wishes to be recognised. Although it is charmingly magical to harken to your lunacy, it is mercenary of the battalions to fathom the pathology of your blatant insignificance within the universe of vain imaginations. Hereford is the base of winning, if you are brazen enough to engage with the feat. Selah, my psychotic expression of wishful psychopathy. One more thing: please check your spelling.

A Response to the Presumed Perpetrator
Thursdays are for psychoanalyzing love letters I never sent you. **** you for being in love with someone else. **** me for waiting on you. Also, **** your ******* & the time my lips got stuck in your braces & they bled for 8 hrs & the first time you borrowed my lighter & that time we passed each other & none of us said hi but we looked each other in the eye the whole time & 2 minutes after you were out of sight i knew, winter has started; winter has come, and i dared to hope it would stay; that it would never leave me the way you did. I should have stayed, away but how could I when I knew you were trouble in human form and you knew I was a trainwreck waiting to happen, waiting for you. There were so many chances to tell you what I’d give to watch you sleep, Approximately four, since the first time I watched you eat lunch alone. I stopped counting on the 33rd day I remembered that circumstance and I were born enemies. Love gives you a bad name. The moral of the story is that I need to remember : that hoping is the worst thing I have ever done and can ever do, and to forget your face.

Let a company that according to an article on Yahoo, "reported net profit of 620.1 million through Feb. 1, 2014" paid their CEO, some poor soul named Ronald Sargent, " 10.8 million in total compensation", let's stand by when they say in response to our president's comments about how they limit their employees to 25 hrs a week, "Unfortunately, the president appears not to have all the facts"..... let all of America work no more than 25 hrs, I am ****** so companies and rich CEO's and all the rich investors can get richer while their employees suffer. American way? The president had plenty of facts for me. Boycott Staples Inc.

itself, it was much in comparison. butane huffed thru handkerchief blood-nose, brain-stem dripping with a wet cleft hemorrhaging knowledge like the internet. billowing smoke from the consignment allegory of a whokah we all shared 'til confusion had us asking. I waited like a trail for a ballerina to tip-toe her way up my spine toward a waiting lake; cold and warm in a nature so solvent.. quiet.. peripheries embedded with industry postured on rocks, metal buddhists asking all to vague-labor meditate 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week == sleepless like dreaming, sleepless experience wafting through an open bedroom door as chicken dinner.

The word of God Is neon now- It screams odious Love to the silent Collection of limbs Beneath it. Iridescence Falls in irradiated Waves, reaches the Sedate, the wanderers Of Asphalt Nightmares, At last. They can hardly hear it Over the mumble of voices. They shift, leave by way Of saturated, naked streets Steeped In weariness. The new God is Neon- but all the same Unheard; It's violent lights Looking to the morally Righteous; finds No one.
