One night was all it took

Our love,
almost impossible to ignore.
With all that fantastic
sparkle and velour.

Our neediness,
almost impossible to overcome.
To the point of sleeplessness
til rest we get none.

Such great difference
this love has brought.
Making us two people
so distraught.

So let this time pass by quick,
for each other we so do need.
Like air, like water,
our love needs to feed.

Take this hunger away
by holding your lips against mine.
Take this yearning away
by embracing me in your arms.

May our love
pass the test of time,
and pray let our marriage
be jolly and fine.

the place of old

this place
a house full of memories
right to the brim
waiting to implode

this night
a mind vulnerable
enters a treasure cove
hoarded with feelings forgotten

this host
to entertain
these deserted emotions
longing to be experienced again

this cigarette
lit with a pregnant pause
time reverse
the scenes replayed

this thankful heart
knowing full well
that the past
has taught meaningful lessons

this conciousness
reminded to brush aside
all the pain emerged
keeping the joy close to heart

this girl
by the side of a man
has turned into a woman
all in the name of love

In Singapore,
we met
we talked
we kissed
and fell in love.

In flight,
we fought
we misunderstood
we disagreed
nearly ending up separated.

In Hong Kong,
we laughed
we cried
we understood
in a new way.

In rain,
we strolled
we fought
we hugged
we love and hate.

In the most unlikely way,
we touched
we made love
we fell in love again
eventually realising we need each other.

In the future,
we hope
we try
we plan
and await life to throw shit at us.

In unison,
we will fight
we will be strong
we will make "us" work
but we have to hold on really tight.

In the meantime,
we will have to part
we will have to bear the pain
we will have to put in more effort
until the day our own nest is ready.

In my heart,
you will always have a special place
you will always make me yearn
you will always be loved
my hubs forever and ever.

To hold your hand,
exploring uncharted paths,
is almost the greatest feeling
in this world that I've known.

Yet nothing beats
the way my heart skips
when you look at me in the eyes,
and say you love me.

Despite the rain,
Despite the fights,
our love pulled through.

Horrible words said,
heartache reigned,
and still we stayed on.

Love, like what we agreed,
so intangible,
so unreliable,
and so wonderful.

This life,
which I detest so utterly,
has only rewarded me with one thing.
You.
