My Poetic Life with HIV

IT IS NOT IN THE STARS TO HOLD OUR DESTINY BUT IN OURSELVES.

Dream #6: The Trip To Pulau Ubin

So we rode on to Pulau Ubin on a bike

Even though this guy was one I do not like.

 

And we met another classmate along the way

For his entrance to Ubin (through ERP), I had to pay.

 

Oh woe is me, why of all places that land?

I think a refund from those guys I shall demand.

Dream #3: Of Women and Weddings

The daughter finally got married, in Bangkok

So beautiful she stood by in her white dress

As she walked away, I told her not to borrow money from any banks.

 

The husband wanted to rush back to watch a TV show

So we took the first flight back to Singapore

We cuddled as he watched the telly, oh he smelled wonderful.

 

Then I left for Malaysia in a hurry

To protest what “they” were doing to their women

Hopefully I did enough to save them.

 

Enough to make them realize every human life is precious.

Dream #2: The Pencil Lead

The pencil lead appeared out of nowhere,

Nobody cared to give a second glance.

 

Why won’t anyone bring me home?

A 40-year old sharpener came by,

Wanted me, craved for me, caressed all of me.

 

Ran away the pencil lead did,

Calling out to everyone else to bring him home.

 

A sad pencil lead it was,

Wondering why life in the stationery world was so hard,

Till I scratched my itchy legs, and I was a pencil lead no more.

The Water Is Wide…

The water is wide I can not get over

And neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that will carry two

And both shall row, my love and I.

 

Where love is planted, oh there it grows

It grows and blossoms like a rose

It has a sweet and pleasant smell

No flower on Earth, can it excel.

 

A ship there is and she sails the sea

She’s loaded deep as deep can be

But not so deep as the love I’m in

I know not if, I sink or swim.

 

Oh love is handsome and love is fine

And love’s a jewel while it is new

But when it is old it grows so cold

And fades away, like morning dew…

Of Dreams and Delusions…

(Image taken from Dangerous Lee)

 

Neither in your dreams

nor in your delusions

Will you ever find me again.

 

Neither your greetings

nor your words

Nor will any glimpse of you ever make me happy. 



I had forgotten about the past and what ever that happened

Now you no longer have a place in my heart

After so very long

I realized I wasted my years being with you.

 


You hurt me, time and again

Yet you still didn’t care

Even after I sacrificed everything I had

And then you let me burn in my own fire.

 


Now you ask me to forget about the past

Returning to me

Asking for my forgiveness

Nay, nay nay.

 

Neither in your dreams

nor in your delusions

Will you ever find me again…
