The Rose

10/02/09

The Rose
by
Adeline Ong (Now officially deemed herself, Queen of Jiwang)

Spring whispers into the garden,
Crimson petals dancing in the wind,
Lingering sweet scent of you,
Or what was once before,
Threading the path untraveled,
Once together now broken,
Crushed jewels upon my feet,
Replaying memories of past,
Lovers of summers long ago,
Tears of years to come,
Hard, sharp thorns of black,
Slowly tearing porcelain white skin,
Marrying my crimson soul within,
With your crimson pride,
Yet I flirt with destiny that never seems,
To come upon angel wings of autumn,
Soon winter will come to bring my slumber,
At last, now and forever more.

Hey You

09/02/09

Dedicated to all who fear commitment (yours truly included) and things that comes with it…

P.S. This IS a V-Day poem because
a) I am jiwang
b) I am tired
c) I just felt like it because it is that time of the year again
d) I wrote this originally for someone but am too chicken shit to send it to him

Hey you,
Are you staring at the same starry sky tonight?
Hey you,
Are you humming the same tune?
Hey you,
Do you think of me when you are alone? (Because I do)
Hey you,
Are you as afraid as I am? (I am terrified)

Hey you,
I know not what the future brings,
Hey you,
I know not what tomorrow will be,
Hey you,
I know that I want you next to me,
Hey you,
Let’s forget the world, let’s go!!!

A Weak Love

27/01/09

This is a response to Halim’s Hari-Hari Cinta. A beautiful piece which inspired me to pen my own feelings.

A Weak Love (or A Week of Love)

I prayed for you on Monday,
I saw you on Tuesday,
I brushed passed you on Wednesday,
I uttered, “Hi!� on Thursday,
I fell for you on Friday,
I ran from you on Saturday,
I cried for you on Sunday.

I am the wondrous wanderer,
I wander around in search of a purpose,
I wander around in search of hope and dreams,
I wander around in the barren grounds,
I wander around in the land of richness,
I wander around possibilities and hope,
Yet I wonder why I wander when I feel so tired,
When I feel like giving it all up, to end it all,
I want to wander no more yet I do not feel whole,
I wonder if that is the reason I continue to wander,
I am of course the wanderer, it is my job to wander,
For how long should I wander, no one knows,
Yet I am the wondrous wanderer,
I don’t know where my journey starts,
I don’t know where my journey ends.

To you..

There are many things I want to say,
But I cannot find the courage or a way,
One day I finally will but not just today,
Each moment passes day by day.

My mouth is dry, my heart won’t sway,
No matter, how badly I want you to stay,
I just await the time you’ll fly away,
Without you my days will turn to gray.

Perhaps then I’ll have the courage to say,
I loved you since the very first day,
I loved you in every possible way,
Stay with me, please don’t go away.
