Aeternus, Eternus

Seeing

Let me leave--
They will not yearn;
There as puppets they will turn
Endlessly, endlessly til the day they burn.

Let me fall--
They will not weep;
Wrapped in satiny sin they keep
Secrets mired in boundless deep.

Let me bleed--
They will not see;
Crowned in excess they watch them flee
Laughing, chortling with evil glee.

Let me scream--
They will not hear;
Sunk in passions they hold dear
In their hearts hiding their deepest fears.

Let me go--
They will not care;
Swallowed in debauchery they do not dare
To face reality beyond what they can bear.

Tell Me Why

Tell me why
When things go wrong
You won't tell me
What went wrong

Tell me why
When you get mad
You won't tell me
What I did wrong

Tell me why
When you are sad
You won't tell me
What I could help do

Tell me why
Even though I care
You won't tell me
Anything that goes wrong

Tell me why
Even though you care
You hurt me
By not telling me why

The 2nd poem's dedicated to my father. I wrote this one the weekend. Also my reflection then:

Sometimes all a poem needs is a simple purity, a sincerity of intent that calls out to those who read it. A poet writes poems to express themselves; if they could express themselves verbally, they wouldn't have to write poems.

I have returned to basics with the poem "Tell Me Why". Straight from the heart, without thinking, a cry to be heard. Much like some of earlier poems, "Tell Me Why" was written in a fit a extreme emotion, without the careful crafting that was slowly establishing itself as my new style. It reminds me that sometimes, a simple uncomplicated voice can be more stirring than a meticulously crafted speech.


Isn't that inspiring? ^__^

Well anyway in 10 minutes its time for History lecture. Oh joy. Not that I dread it, but its just that its 5.05pm now and I WANT TO GO HOME. Lol.

Anyway Grace, Lester and I just went out to have some KFC at Anchorpoint. Along the way we had a nice browse through the shops there as well as at Queensway Shopping center. Lolz.

I just realised how much Grace and Lester were influencing me. I actually said, "Oh lemme check my hair" when we were at the traffic lights waiting to cross. My goodness. How bimbotic that sounded. I need a reality check. God help me.

Anyway Lester's peeking over and chuckling at what I just typed. Like, whatever. Great, even that sounded frivolous. What IS happening to me?! AHHHHH!!!

Ok let's just ignore that. I wanna play Zeal for a while before going off to lecture. Cyaz!
