english
As a Singaporean Malay, English is naturally my second but fluent language. My skills in English poetry isn't as refined, but I still do want to try to dive in the art and be better at it.
this life of mine
Me, I forbid you, my little heart
To beat for a forbidden melody.
Me, I forbid you, my careless mind
To think of the forbidden thoughts.
This life I live forbidden
Of all the things I crave.
This ravenous self
But nothing worth to fill.
This life I make forbidden
Shall be the life I live forgotten.
For it is neither one worth loving
Nor is it one worth a thought.
why this weather?
I walked down the sombre streets
Greeting the wind passing by
The sudden growl of the greying skies
Surprised my ever soulless eyes
​
Heavy showers started to sing
A melody I could not bear
Dancing on my shaky skin
Like tears of a mother's despair
​
The cold air that pierced my heart
Pushed and pulled and tore me apart
Dampened drenched saddened wrenched
Oh this depression could not end!
​
A broken heart you could not fix
Shattered and fooled you with so many tricks
One too many making you cry a river
Oh this weather why must I suffer!
