When the world is not enough.

When the world is not enough,
Hills and mountains and pastures,
Doth become a deserted oblivion.
Winter is perpetual
And Spring nevermore.
When the world is not enough.

When the world is not enough,
The waters of the Pacific Ocean
Would be sucked completely dry.
The seas no more,
And no more rivers.
When the world is not enough.

When the world is not enough,
Mother Nature mourns
The coming of each dawn,
Shooting stars
Brings no more hope.
When the world is not enough.

When the world is not enough,
Each living creature
Creeps without souls.
Hell becomes heaven
Heaven is no more.
When the world is not enough.

But that is to say,
When the world is not enough,
The tip of the ice berg is still
A part of the universe
And to the tip,
The entire ice berg
Is still its entire world.

Crossroad

The Princess and her own guardian knight,
Walking together side by side,
Setting off to recover her lost crown,
Along a path full of villains and monsters.
The knight thus sayeth to the Princess:
‘My dearest precious Princess,
I, with my full heart, dedicate myself
To clear out all obstacles,
Enabling you to go on,
Accomplishing your task,
Of recovering your lost crown.
You deserved to be crowned,
As your tender heart and wisdom
Is sure to lead the people towards
A better and more prosperous life.’
The knight fulfills his promise
To rid all hazards along the way.
But soon they reached a crossroad
Too narrow for both to pass,
The knight then sayest
‘My dear brave girl,
From here you must go on
Without my accompaniment.
This path was not paved for two.
I know you are brave,
And I have come this far,
You will surely reach the end.
Reach for the crown,
Become the queen,
My soul and my heart,
Will serve you, always.’

The Princess thus walked on,
Alone, and unprotected.
The path became brighter,
The closer she reached the crown.
The glimmering jewels welcomed her,
And invited her to reach out for the crown.
Overjoyed to have accomplished her goal,
But not forgetting her dearly beloved knight,
She came back to the crossroad,
Only to find her knight, gasping for his last breath.
A monster had attacked him,
Right after they had parted.
It was now too late,
For anything to be done.

Years had gone by,
The Princess, now Queen,
Ruled a happy land.
When a mission came again,
She had to set off once more.
Believing she was on her own,
Delighted to find a knight along the way,
Willingly swear to protect her,
They continued down the path together.
The knight killed monsters and rid villains,
And was just as valiant as the previous one.
But whence they came to the same crossroad,
The Queen shivered in fear once more.

Labyrinth

There is a labyrinth in my heart,
The entrance is wide open,
But the exit is invisible.
I turn right,
And end up where I started.
I turn left,
And got back to where I was again.
The pain and agony of being perpetually stuck
Within a space with no time, no joy, and no light.
This is the labyrinth in my heart,
And I wish to heaven,
That one day
The exit will become visible to me
So I can get out.

Rainbow

Prithee rainbow, do not go.
Thy arch perches upon the azure sky,
Only after the stormiest wind.
Knowing thy stay is short,
My sight remained upon thee.
Yet distracted by a malicious sting,
When I turn around again,
Thou art gone.
Have thee left for good?
Or shall I search a little bit more?

Mere Fantasy

Oh, how could I be so foolish,
As to take a mere fantasy
And envision it to be real?
Oh, how could I be so daft
As to believe things actually are
When they never will be?
Impatience takes over me
The longer I wait for thee.
Then reality gives me a stingy bite.
Ouch! That hurt!
Can I? Should I?
Entrust thee with my dream?
Believe that perhaps
Fantasy may stand its chance?
Or should I reluctantly
Embrace this cruel, cold-blooded
Tormenting truth,
That fantasies
Are just mere fantasies?

The Ultimate Defeat

He signed a pact with the devil,
And lost all but a pair of flip-flops.
There was little left of him.
This, the world perceived;
Because he had lost everything
To the bloody devil himself.
Little did they know;
His angels thus began
Singing his song aloud
As he sat in the corner and wept:
'Oh he is so 'cuz he gave us all;
What's left in him that's all good.
He gave and gave till none was left;
Until we obtained our halo and wings.
Oh,why? Oh, why can't you see?
We, the angels are
The outcome of this devilish pact.
Save him! Save him!
We shall sing,
Until the world finally learns
That out of his ultimate defeat,
His final victory, was heaven itself, no less.'

No Reply

Speak not and listen
To the silence within;
Let the gaze blind our minds.
As I caress your gentle
Whispers of adoration,
We turn this moment
Into Eternity.
We are both heroes
Succumbing to our arch-enemy's
Tender conquest.
If this does not suffice,
Then what will?

Adieu

It's almost time to bid you adieu.
A part of me will be leaving with you.
Over mountains and across the seas,
Where the pasture's crispy green,
Will you be thinking of me?

It's almost time to bid you adieu.
A part of you will always be.
Under the sun, the moon and the stars,
Let's rejoice in this chapter's end,
And embrace our brand new epic.

It's almost time to bid you adieu,
Nothing else needs to be said or done.
For you know best, and I know all,
We are warriors upon our chariots,
Fighting this interminable battle.

It's almost time to bid you adieu.
Adieu! Adieu! Adieu!

Grandma Nature

Oh, how they've all forgotten,
Your tender love and care
Is what made them who they are.
Gently, blows the breeze,
Taking away the marks
Of stress, of pressure, and of virulence,
Inside the mind and on my face.
Reminiscing the innocence
Bread by the simplicity
Of the kind and loving you.
Dear mother of all,
How I've forgotten,
Just like the rest of them
Amidst the hustle and bustle
Of this inhuman civilisation
That there exists such tranquillity,
Which had always been
And patiently awaits
Till we all remember once again.

Ivy

Marvelling the sights of passersby,
She brings life
To whatever she's climbing on.
Whether it be a simple fence
Or the wall of a brick house.
The insignificant damages
Cannot undermine her beauty.
She would be the wonder in a scene.
Take that which she is leaning on
Away
Then her beauty is no more.
She, is no more.
