writing lullabys

Wrote this poem in loving memory of our Marilyn Monroe. I never knew much about her until just recently, where I read her wikipedia page and learnt more about her and her life, and dealth. It was really tragic and I felt alot of empathy for her and I decided to write this poem in dedication to her to show our everlasting appreciation for her. Felt that she was a really simple girl who just wanted to be loved, and to prove herself to the world that she was so much more than what they thought of her, yet no one really treated her how she wanted them to, nor did they give her enough credit. She had the innocence of a child and had a very gentle-trusting personality. I also felt I could relate alot to her and she has taught me lots of different lessons in just a short time. I learnt that I should really be thankful for the happy family I have and not be so demanding sometimes. I also learnt to always have my chin up no matter what happens and she inspires me in every way. Just want to say she has written lots of amazing poems during her lifetime. She was a lovely person who was beautiful in and out.

in the midst of these darkness
there is a light

and this light travels through the path of life
together with you
guiding you and seeking refuge in you

you will shine no matter what takes place
because everyone has their right to twinkle, you too,
as if a star

so don’t let the darkness of the night sky intimidate you
cause’ that’s where you’ll shine best

but take them on with storm
proving your immortality

life has a purpose stored within for you
remember, you are a star, the brightest one if you want to,

you are beautiful and loved by so many

and you will be forever young in the hearts of these lovers.
you will never be alone.

O’ gently, how you row
in the waters of the deep blue sea

fluency is a remedy,
and you are the peace that makes the waters calm;
the calling for thunder to strike it’s palms upon

but sweet lovely oldie,
you remain strong though small even in life’s size
just waiting for the waves to rupture and seize
fighting against whatever may be

you are like the courage to overcome many
seeking life’s enlightentment

now,
never tell the stories of what may fortell the future
just flow with the wind
as if you are that dream in your sleep
loving the moment
and facing stranger tides with even more courage

We are never who we really seem to be, even to our lovely selves. There are moments where we find ourselves stuck in a puddle and not knowing how we got there, too We tend to need to reflect back on our actions, and decide if we can make a change. People aren’t always what they seem to be, really. Some fragile inside, some tougher on the surface, whilst those are only temporary facades to shiled their own inner, shakekable feelings. We may not know how to overcome such human complexities and nature, but we can coat our facades with just a thin membrane of truth, that’ll be better for ourselves and others. The world is a happy place and we shall be rid of any unwanted secrecy and live the moment. We shall be able to leave a legacy of trust and humanity within the world when we depart. Hiding feelings don’t often give you much of a long-term security, but it is only with the truth and acceptance of it, that we strive to better our lives and find comfort in others.

you always say you see me go
the way i move, the way i flutter about in secrecy
you say you enjoy the sight
how you’d wish if your eyes could take pictures?
or if you could behold that sight in your bare arms

all this whilst you’ve been pondering
what you would do without me
or if you could ever do

but

what you dint know was
the way i see you prancing down the sreet everytime
takes me breath away
and the scent of your skin lingering with the wind
fills my world with erraticiness
fills my air with magic
though it does’nt float to me

what you must do now
is to open your heart up
let me in, and whisper the things into my ear

you are one of a kind
a different kind of fantastic
the kind that’s made for me

you are beautiful
and the most beautiful i’v ever seen
in fact.

well, let’s chase these clouds together.

under my skin
is who i really am
i am no stranger
i am no different from you

i am one with one too many possibilities
just that’s hidden
waiting for someone to uncover
the depth of my emotions
the reasons for things i do

i cry myself to sleep
i laugh myself to senses

i am perhaps a complicated human being,
but are’nt we all the same.
sometimes feeling a lil’ out of place
here and there
but that’s okay,
cause at the end of the day, we walk the journey through our own footsteps
and it is how we choose to walk this journey; that is remarkable.

the very best view
is when one does not look for expectations

the very best view
is when one is able to see the glass half full, not half empty

the best very best view
is when one notices the blessings around

the very best view
is when one can appreciate the beauty of the finest things

the very best view
is when one can make out the glimmer of light in the dark

the very best view
is one knowing that’ll be a rainbow after every storm

the very best view
is when one chooses to chase the moon

the very best view
is when one is not afraid to take the path less travelled by

under the mistletoe
where lovely couples be
they wrap their hands around each other
spreading the season’s joy and happiness

mistletoes come in handy
especially during the time of christmas
they are christmas couple’s homes
where they built a shelter of love

no matter where nor time nor place
they are where every couple tries to stop
the power of the mistletoe
comes from a long way back

It was a rainy day. The little girl walked home from school. She was’nt exactly little, but she felt like she was trying to conquer the world all by herself, not realizing what life had in store for her.

She had always felt a little different from others, she was somehow a very cheerful girl, loving and idealistic at her best. But at her worst, she was melancholic, intense, helpless, anxious and stuck in a rut.

She looked back and thought to herself, if she had’nt ridden through the path of life she rode ages ago, what would have become of her today? Probably her life would have turned out so much easier than what it is now. She felt alot of regret, helplessness, and remorse.

She was still so young, but life had already taken a twist on her and made her feel like there was no turning back, and there was only a big black cloud leading her forward in life.

She always tried to calm herself down, since no one would entirely understand her, and she gave up on that idea and relied on herself. She was hopeless and helpless, but she stayed strong for herself. There was really no other way to be, is there?

However, she knew that life was such, and probably she was just a little unlucky and more prone to life’s illnesses. All she could do at this moment was to keep praying to God and seek enlightentment. She was desperate for it, and she decided it was only right to patiently wait. Time can do wonders, she always remembered.

There was also other philosophies which inspired her to keep moving on, and they acted as a source of comfort for her. She remembered the quotation, “never regret something because it was what you once wanted”, and the other being ““the price of getting what you want is having what you once wanted.” I mean, those quotations had so much truth in them, and she knew she was not really alone. They gave her assurance and strength.

Although she thought she did’nt deserve to suffer like this, at times feeling like a punching bag for life, she was a fairly optimistic girl, really. She did’nt surrender and put up a fight constantly, hoping things would eventuarlly turn better.

She nearly reached home, when she saw a rainbow that was surfacing right in front of her in the sky. She felt a glimmer of hope and light, and her mind was suddenly able to enlighten. It felt at that point, like a load had completely been taken off the centre of her head.
