Introduction

Remember! Life is NOW, this minute not NEXT

However, do not fail to plan or plan to fail

Leaving room for the’ surprises

With HOPE which is the stimulus from NOW to NEXT . . .

Experiment to gain Experience

With Love, Life and Universe.

These poems are written from various experiences, from me and other people whom I’ve met on the journey in the path of life with different thoughts and emotions about different situations. The subtitles depict stages through the journey of my life. I hope the readers can relate to them in their own distinctive way.

Deeper Thoughts

Look at her and picture this

She appears to me like the mist

And disappears like the wind

She is un-attached, no strings

Yet when I need her most

A wonderful encouraging host

She is always there

I just know it she cares

I look deep into her soul

I can reach out and feel what it holds

And see through her pain

Like blood oh! How it stains

She never says a word

Which I think is quite absurd

She never expresses her true feelings

Strange . . . but some how through me she is healing

Twisted emotions and agony

Yet still for me, she has sympathy

Lost love and burning pain

Listening to me cry over and over again

Each day of the years after

It hits me like a disaster

I finally came to realize

We are empty without each other’s side.

From the Heart

Something has happened to me

I would never quite allowed to be

I don’t know how come

I just can’t find the control buttons to this one

Never knew I could share myself in two

Until the very day I met you

Things are so strange

Once I would never allowed my life to be re-arranged

I don’t know what you want out of this

I don’t know what’s on your mind
