It is a Long day...

The Autistic Man

You sit beside me
willing my reluctant gaze
to fall upon you.

I do not know
how I can meet your forthright
stare, without pity or discomfort.

How can I understand
your inner thoughts so alien,
yet so human?

I have not the courage
to return your smile
that of innocence too compelling to refuse.

Trapped

I am trapped
in a warm and comforting place.

I warm my hands with a steaming cup,
while the dreaded storm rages outside.

Lightning strikes,
Thunder booms.

I am safe.
I am warm.

Yet I am trapped.
Yet I cannot leave.

Should I even try?

The Rain Never Stops

It never does
stop,
those tears
that fall from above,
all those
drops like pats on my shoulder.

They remind me,
like guardian angels,
of those eyes above me,
reminding me of His presence
and of His never-ending love.

It was a long day today.

Actually, let off from skool at 1245, went for lunch at Thompson plaza, and got Sunny's food. Then i went home, took a bath, went to Clarke Quay to take pics. It was overcast but i managed to walk ard quite a bit before it started pouring. It was the whole zoo, by the way, not just domestic animals.

I got stuck at Coffee Bean for more than an hour(total waste of time), but had a coffee, so am still very awake now. Wrote and thought quite alot during that period, but seemed to have made no headway on my coursework.

I dunno why, but I have a mental block around that subject, sheesh.
Oya, just thought of another poem...

The Ultimate Lie

What is a lie
but a murmur of possibility
an insinuation of probability
a flawed attempt to twist human sensibility?

What is a hope
but a glimmer of possibility
a belief in probability
a steadfast attempt to deny human sensibility?

To hope is to lie
for to hope is against logic
to lie is to preserve flawed rationality
but both salve the grief of human imperfection.
