The Three Wishes
Son, what will you do
If you are given three wishes from God?
The teacher stares at the 13 years old student
With a deep sigh
Adam’s tears roll back
His eyes as sharp as a razor blade
Glancing at Mr. Cool
Not a word spoken
He picks up his pen and starts to write
He folds up the written piece
And hand it over to the teacher
One condition applies
The teacher should read it when he got home
Adam is a gifted kid
Born with silver spoon in his mouth
The only son in a family of four
Before he goes to bed
With a deep breathe
Mr. Cool reads the note
My first wish

A Cup Of Cappuccino
Medium heat showers at six in the morning
Freshen me up with that needed zest
Vitalizing me to face another day
The flow of water sounds like waterfalls
Pinnacles of a bathroom
Smells of hygiene everywhere
Shampoos, creamy soaps and aftershave lotions
What a day to start your motion
Back to my room
It’s like a routine; I’d know which band of clothes to choose
Soaking cologne to my body is a boost
Enhancing your confidence
And be more prudent
My wet look
Would make women get hooked
After doing my routine, I step out of the front door
Grabbing the morning newspaper from the lawn

Hello 2010
2010, we hold hands, praying
Massacre and suicide bombing
Will not be the new screenplay
For the live audience, at bay
Economic uprising would be the hope
For many around the globe
Putting food on the table
Shouldn’t be a gamble
The hole in the sky
Is the key to the word, die
Unless we resolve the cause
At all costs
Black, color and white
The pride of humanities world wide
Nothing is above God
Race supremacy should be left to rot

Love Letter
Darling oh Darling
Embraces this writing
Letter of better
Cannon of greater
Bombarding you withiest
Splinters of kisses
Dances of jittery
Camped with animosity
No love triumphs
But the hearts prime
Sings to my ears
Drowns me with tears
Darling
What a joke when I drink
I taste your lemon touch
What a freak when I eat
I crunch your blueberry eyes
What a nag when I sleep
I dream of your strawberry smiles

You deserve a hot Mocha
The tangling 15th century chandelier hanging tough
Brightening the living room and spar
The cozy Italian sofa so laid back
With classical music enlightening listener
To a stood still, you’re so indulged
Connected with buddies over the net
At a mouse click on your laptop
Big TV screen at the center of the lounge
Is showing ‘why human needs sex’
On Discovery channel
On the lounge table are served
A hot Mocha coffee with Delifrances breads
And butter cookies
Aroma of Smokey Mocha
Lingering on every corners
Besetting a rendezvous
Your fingers picking up the mug
And sip it slowly down the throat
Nourishing your central nervous system

The Poet of Legacy
the restless children run to the higher ground as the kites flying to an open sky
under the clouds, clouds which are so eager to shell shock them with a friendly
turbulence, which would make the kites, spin around haywire. the tall grass has covered
most of the old battlefield, which was once witnessed thousands of young lives perished during the World War 2, protecting the nearby port from enemies of the east. my father was one of the localities who fought the war not only for his country but for the ambitious imperialist from the west, as well. most of his comrades were killed during the battle and it was actually the beginning of the new era, a new ruler, under the ‘red sun’.
my father was captured and was sent to the infamous Changi Prison as a prisoner of war.
he survived the ordeals, which many could not have managed. today, i am the legacy, to continue the gallantry of a man who had lived throughout the manmade hell bravely, not with weaponry, but with brain and pens, writing poetry. i’ll be the poet; many poets would envy. i’ll be the poet; many readers would want to be. i’ll be the poet; many women would like to see. God gives lives to my father, to have me be born, and to continue the legacy.

Roses for Rosanne
Dust in the winds
Shadows walking leaving trails
Eyes cocking navigate scents meddle the streets
Nightingale scans the sounds of thousands voices
Breaking the night camaraderie
Little birds of Hudson Bay
Whistling the songs of Hoboken array
Holland tunnel a lifeline… splendid to many
Manhattan Upper embraces Manhattan Lower
Epic proportion in sync with memories
Jersey carats of gold got you in me
The Albanian smiths….
Once said “crafted out of crisp”
I kept your smiles at Camden Waterfront
Let it flow like Delaware River……entwined
Your touch as lush as Pinelands
Casting me away to Atlantic blue
Song from ‘The Boss’ reminds me of you
Jersey girl caught me red handed
Rosanne in my heart you stay naked

Anju oh Anju (Love of Two Continents)
Don't turn your back on me
Turn on your beauty
Sparks the ice in you
Whenever you feel free
Anju you're too good to be true
Your words are your resume
I don't need the others
Just you to feel my blue
When you're sick
I’d don your pain
Nursing you like infant
Is the choice I’d pick
My regurgitating heart
Beating the rhythm of your soul
Sprinkling me with your aroma
Till death do us part

on Valentine's Day
Hi sweetie pie so divine
Your beauty is so refined
The day has come to define
You’re my lucrative Valentine
The roses for you are not for any woman
It’s the roses grown from Eden
Our ties are not sudden
We’re closer to heaven
Looking at my bedroom’s wall
I see your ever sweet face there
I smile and take a fall
Your love for me to spare
A walking distance, I walk
To the Gifts’ Shop, I step in
I sigh and take a knock

Heartthrob
The Oak of Lancashire emits color
Of your hair, light as Tulips on Titicaca Lake
Brown as chestnut of Hunstanton
Silken as Tianjin silk
Cozy winds of English Channel perplexed
As it blew the crown of your beauties
Cleopatra would envy summons her army
Of infidel to dethrone you out of devotee
I immensely bailed out of twilight dream
Reality synchronized with ambiguity
Don’t tell me the spreads of Heaven
Constitute your legacy of winning
The heart of a legend
The soul of a soul catcher
Greenish waters of Tioman Island
Reflect the color of your deep sleeper eyes
Mesmerized my instinct to capture the glows
Thrust into my fascination valves
How could I ignore its winter night’s aurora?
