Leftover

i came home

worn

tired

sleepy

expecting 

peace and quiet

maybe some leftover

from the christmas dinner 

i missed for work

i opened the door

and there she was

standing

before me

a mistletoe hanging above us

the last thing i see

she swooped me down for a kiss

she lead me to the table

a mug of eggnog, warm to touch

my favorite christmas cake, sliced

her signature slightly-burnt turkey, carved

that heavenly mashed potato, scooped

all ready for me

"this is the leftover?"

she shook her head

as she smiled 

looking

 the hallway

i turned

to see my angels walking

towards me

fresh-eyed, smiling

as they gave me a hug

each

"we just decided to 

have 

a late dinner, instead"

she said

as the four of us sit down

around the table

ready to savour

the food

and

the magical moment 

of Christmas

Free Verse

"Tough Life"

all i ever wanted is a life so smooth,

i just have to glide over it.

but i remember well 

last night,

i was completely helpless

my love for you was just pouring out

in the form of tears

flowing non-stop

it's stupid

and i'm embarrassed

but i've got no one to tell

about my self-realization

except the blue bed

which i lied against

communicating with

with soft, restrained

sobs

and the colorless tears

it's stupid that

reading a comic

remind me of you, me

and our times together

about

how you take care of me all this while

without me ever doing anything 

to please you back

how you're patient enough

to handle my childish tantrums

my humiliating behavior

and my shallow thinking

When I See

"Rambutan"

When I think of rambutans 

I can see the hairy spheres.

I can smell the aroma of village orchard

I can feel the hardness of the outer skin

I can taste the small bundle of joy inside the bitter case

"Dragon Fruit"

When I think of dragon fruit

I can see the weirdly engineered petal-lish skin 

I can smell the stench of the latex

I can feel the crunch of the seedy flesh 

I can taste the sweet-and-sour palate it offered

"Mango"

When I think of mango

I can see the ripe ones, bright yellow with orangy tones

I can smell the sweet, sweet mangoey smell

I can feel the juice sticking to my fingers

I can taste the sweetness only mangoes can give

Blue Sky

they said to look up 

to the blue spread of the sky

to see the beauty of life

but our hearts is just

too full of thorns and dusts

that the pain makes our eyes 

blurry

unable

to discover anything good

out of living

but we're still breathing

still flowing with 

the stiff music of life

though we can't fly

we'd rather strut

than die

Forbidden Garden

don't you know it's killing me

every time you stared

and there’s no words out of your lips

don't you know i'm going crazy

every time i sit in class

and see your back staring at me

I hope you know

i'm mourning

every second

i'm breathing

coz we're stuck

in a forbidden garden

that's just

too sweet to escape

Durian

When I think of durian 

I can see the spiky-haired green monster 

I can smell the strong, delicious smell aroma, some desperately despise 

I can feel the softness of the yellow flesh 

I can taste the slightly tangy sweetness, incomparable 

to others
