Writer’s Block

Is it that hard for people to understand that when an artist works, he bases his works on what is idealized and not what is actual? Actual things in reality are always flawed… “Mandy” by Westlife. “Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson. Not to mention scores of other works of art by artists of all languages. English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Japanese… You name it, you got it. Songs, Poetry and Story have often been inspired by real-life people, but speaks of an idealized version of the actual person – fiction – namely one who clearly doesn’t exist. Fiction can always be as beautiful (or as terrible) as desired, whether be it in the mind of the writer, or his readers. Good fiction never fully tells the actual...

In Wait, In Time

Was out with Mum to look for new Korean shops, was thinking of her as I wrote this poem:   Are you afraid now, are you scared? ‘Cause I am too; so ill-prepared Is it a wonder that for a guy like me, Sometimes has courage the size of a pea For even heroes of old have their own Achilles’ heel, Like how my knees grow weak at the mere sight of you So forgive me if I leapt not at chances to act, As fear of rejection had made me slow to react For men are prepared to lose things of no import, But you are a treasure; my muse, my support Your smile and your laughter are my heart’s real delight, They lift me from lone darkness to a world now so bright So please try to understand that I’m doing my best, That I’ve worked tirelessly; without...

Wearied.

~ My brows are heavy, my heart is dense; The tears yet hidden but their weight immense. My glance averts you, can’t bear to see; A buried future that shall not...

Each day I wonder if it was you or me who was making it harder than it needs to be… …but perhaps the both of us each have our own...

Love Waits…

~ The end of day, an evening sky, in pastels pink and blue The sun peeks out, behind a cloud, its radiance bid adieu A bus ride back, a long way home, my heart was not with me It’s somewhere else, and where it was, it waits most patiently It dared not speak, for it had feared, a reproach stern and cold But it lies in wait, with faith and hope, to a dream that seemed so bold Yet in the end, it matters not, if the wait was worth its while For there’s nothing quite as worthy, than your beautiful, heartfelt smile ~ Afternote: At the risk of ruining the artistic integrity of this poem, clarifications have to be made concerning the background of the writing. It is hoped that this post may shed some light on the origins and intent of this original...

Protected: Perhaps

“It took me 10 whole years to nurse my broken heart; but when it was done you came and took it apart.” The past two months had been a trying time for me. In such little time, it seemed that so much had happened. I’ve gone through a whole myriad of emotions; agonized over things, wept and searched for answers. I’ve lost my usual appetite and cravings, lost sleep, and my overall health had taken a toll for the worse. Even now I’m still just picking up the pieces. But I’m also thankful. It is in times of trouble and crisis, when we are steeped in emotional trauma, pain and suffering that the depth of the human soul is revealed. And for a Christian, it’s a chance for us to confront God without the daily distractions of a busy...

Knight Falls: Part Three

I don’t know why I fell for you I only know I did It was your every innocent action I guess that planted the seed That seed would grow inside of me But back then I didn’t know I cared for you only as a junior At least my brain thought so But everyday that tiny seed Grew a little bigger each day And soon it blossomed into something else But it was something I couldn’t say You see, you’ve gotten mad at me When you first thought I had a crush It wasn’t true then but now it is Yet now I could only hush You responded silent and cold then And some days you still do But now that I know, I couldn’t say As much as I wanted to Hence I do my part and hope for a sign That only God can give And pray that you would show that sign Before...
