I found a gum stuck under my desk,
together with the chemistry answer key,
Trembling, I quickly placed it in my hanky,
Felt like I won a raffle shopping spree,
Finally, I've got another shot at redemption,
I can overturn my D to a C or even a B,
My Dad will hand me back my car privileges,
My Mom might consider getting me the latest Gucci!
I wanna kiss the ass of my unidentified savior,
Thanks to him/her I have college to hope for,
Xie Xie, Domo Arigato, Merci, Mochos Gracias,
I won't waste this blessing, so I'm moving fast,
In the speed of light, my answer sheet's filled up,
But just when I thought its over,
my dancing eyes screeched to a stop,
At the bottom right, something's scrawled- SET A,
and my questionnaire... unmistakably says- SET B,
Stupid minuscule handwriting!
I shrieked in mortified exasperation,
Curses to the idiots living in this nation!
how could I have possibly missed that out?
Now I've only got 10 minutes left,
and I...
I freaking don't have an escape route!

Beaneath the Blue Moon
Will you please stare at the sky tonight
Find a constellation of your own
Let your heart seek refuge in the blue light
In the ocean where meteors have flown
Under the sea of stars
A heart is waiting
Under the vast universe
A heart is aching
Under the spectra of colors
A heart is smiling
Under the endless wonder
A heart is saying goodbye
Under an eclipse
A heart is calling out
Under a still heavens
A heart is dreaming
Under the meteor rain
A heart is crying
Under the aurora borealis
A tear is falling
Under the blue moon
A heart is falling in love
Under the skies
Find your atmosphere
Chose a star
Travel through its depth
Climb unto its height
Leave your fears, your humane frailty
For a time, take a dose of placidness
Overwhelm your body, reaching to your soul
Then transcend back to earth
And live like you were born again
The secret of the blue moon is its smile
Find a constellation of your own
Let your heart seek refuge in the blue light
In the ocean where meteors have flown
Under the sea of stars
A heart is waiting
Under the vast universe
A heart is aching
Under the spectra of colors
A heart is smiling
Under the endless wonder
A heart is saying goodbye
Under an eclipse
A heart is calling out
Under a still heavens
A heart is dreaming
Under the meteor rain
A heart is crying
Under the aurora borealis
A tear is falling
Under the blue moon
A heart is falling in love
Under the skies
Find your atmosphere
Chose a star
Travel through its depth
Climb unto its height
Leave your fears, your humane frailty
For a time, take a dose of placidness
Overwhelm your body, reaching to your soul
Then transcend back to earth
And live like you were born again
The secret of the blue moon is its smile
Sands and stones
I reside
Far from the world,
Far from the neon lights
Watch the tide
Subside
I lay down my sword
For another of my lone nights
No one could see me
Shed these tears
Trying hard to stand
While fighting my fears
I shut my eyes close
Wait for you to come
& free me from my foes
I need to feel
Your skin against mine
Let our hearts ask
Destiny to give us time
I wrote your name
By the shore
So you could read
From there above
All I need to say,
In my heart is an undying love
Forever I am true
Forever in me is you
Sands of time
Stones of strength
Lay upon my feet
As I wait
For death to claim my defeat
In my mind the last I’ll remember
Is your face
I held with me
Forever
Far from the world,
Far from the neon lights
Watch the tide
Subside
I lay down my sword
For another of my lone nights
No one could see me
Shed these tears
Trying hard to stand
While fighting my fears
I shut my eyes close
Wait for you to come
& free me from my foes
I need to feel
Your skin against mine
Let our hearts ask
Destiny to give us time
I wrote your name
By the shore
So you could read
From there above
All I need to say,
In my heart is an undying love
Forever I am true
Forever in me is you
Sands of time
Stones of strength
Lay upon my feet
As I wait
For death to claim my defeat
In my mind the last I’ll remember
Is your face
I held with me
Forever
MY LAMENTATION
There are times when I feel like I want to drown in the abyss of surliness.
When everything seem so dead,
I come out alive, though
Never vibrant enough to conceal the truth from a silhouette of lies
‘Somewhere, across the seven seas
Awaits a promise of Utopia’
So I’ve been told
Of a slander so ancient, so old
When my weary soul lies upon a cloud
I could hear the beat of heartbreaks aloud
As I close my eyes, I hear mine
Yearning, reminiscing a time
A time of euphoria
A time of endless reveries
A time of acquiescence
A time of sworn reverence
Yet a time of profound hurt
A time of sordid memories
A time of silently raging tears
A time of resurgence of fears
I dreamed a dream too long
I fell far too deep
I seethed too soon
I conferred too much
And here I am for this moment
Too weary
Too resilient
At times, I wish to deny my existence
To desire to hear the murmur of the zephyr
For one final moment
I know such tenderness
I know such frailty
I know such right
I know such wrong
I know, I shouldn’t be here
I shouldn’t be like this
But I’ve never been so sure
And I know I might never be
So here I stand and say
I’m ready to face the sun again
I swear to my dying day
I loved you once
I LOVE YOU STILL
& TILL THE END,
I WILL

SKIES
A bird has flown away,
And then we admire its flight
The magic it brings
The way it flaps its wings
Then as it disappears before our very eyes
It’s when we realize its no longer coming back
Too late to run after for it has found its track
And we are left to wonder
If we will happen to see it again
“Absence makes the heart grow fonder”
A saying as real as pain
Tomorrow is another day
The sun never fails to shine
As it casts another ray
To light a morning so fine
In a certain corner
The gloom pierces through
Too enveloped that even the sun couldn’t find
It hides away, keeping itself blind
And then we admire its flight
The magic it brings
The way it flaps its wings
Then as it disappears before our very eyes
It’s when we realize its no longer coming back
Too late to run after for it has found its track
And we are left to wonder
If we will happen to see it again
“Absence makes the heart grow fonder”
A saying as real as pain
Tomorrow is another day
The sun never fails to shine
As it casts another ray
To light a morning so fine
In a certain corner
The gloom pierces through
Too enveloped that even the sun couldn’t find
It hides away, keeping itself blind
