Good Night


Death comes to us all
O yes it does
Swift as a bolt of lightning
Silent as a tiger stalking its prey
Will I lay in eternal slumber
Or will I rise again someday
Oh please don’t let tears roll down your cheeks darling 
How I wish I could be there right now to stop you from crying
And as much as I would like to stay
Even for a second more
My time has come and so I’ve got to go
But remember what they used to say?
A person will live on in the memory of others
Where time is perpetual and there’s no sorrow
My journey might have been short but it sure was meaningful
And I hope you feel the same way too
Even though I might be gone
And life still has to go on
All I ask is that I won’t be forgotten
Told myself I’ll forever be grateful no matter what happens
For at least we’ve got each other
And unlike life the love we share will never expire
As the sun sets and stars take over the sky
Perhaps it’s time for me to rest these weary eyes
Goodnight my darling
This is also my last goodbye

This poem, written but not published on 30 March 2018, commemorates the loss of a great friend.

Life is like a dream

Life is like a dream, isn’t it? Everything comes and goes before you knew it. Most of the times, we can’t really recall what we dreamt of the previous minute when we were fast asleep and yet, we had already woke up from it. Be that as it may, there were still dreams where you’ll never forget, not while you can still breathe. Some of them consist of nightmares while the rest, or rather most of them, were sweet dreams. Nobody can stay awake for their whole life; one must take a rest and sleep. However, it is also impossible for one to fell asleep all the time either. I know it sounds contradicted but that is the fact. Dreams can’t be programmed, unlike the computer. Therefore, it is similar to life: it is at some point yours’, but not exactly yours actually. @.@” When I am having a nightmare, I would say to myself:” Oh, what a dream!? I wonder how long this will last”. It is interesting because the answer that it expected ( which is:” Not for very long, I should think”) always appears wh

Patience makes patient

You'd think that it's easy being me. Well, can't really blame you for that because it does appear to be so most of the times. Throughout these years I've been learning how to control my emotions and it does seem in this case that I've done a pretty good job haven't I? It's been quite a while since I last posted anything to my blog but today I'm not here for the sake of updating. "Many a time words that we don't mean get said; those that we do, they kept buried deep inside" (Myself, 2012). Have you ever wondered why our mouths can talk for so long and so eloquently yet only so little of which came out are meaningful? I can say for one that most often than not we talk faster than we actually think, that's why. If there's one thing that I know for sure about life it'd be that you can never judge a book by its cover, just as pictures of most people found on Facebook can never be trusted. Let me give you another example: The tear

Scribble

Looking at  the moon tonight, so big and full  and lovely and bright, casting down  a romantic light, I suddenly wonder  how it's like, to be walking on the moon  if I just might. As for you my love  who's on the other side, how I wish  you're right beside, so I can hold you  oh so tight, and get with you  on a long long flight, to a place  where our hearts reside, together forever  side by side. We're born  we've met  we'll wed  and eventually die, but though there'll be  an end to life, my love for you  will never subside, today tomorrow will always be like, the first day we met on the 8th of July.
