I rested my resolution
on the contours of your lap
and floated my future
down the rivers of your heart..

let it be it
if the world ends now
i would say fine, let it
if that is what it takes
to start a life with you

dreams take flight
just as I might
when gloom dispels light
with you in sight
I let my
dreams take flight
.
I let my
dreams take flight
to overcome blight
I let my
dreams take flight
to focus right
.
and into the night
I sat on my plight
oh what a delight!
when
dreams take flight

snowflake
still
we stay cuddled
in our own little corner
watching the snowflake
whitening and brightening
everything beyond
our window sill
.
still
we stay cuddled
in our own little corner
watching the snowflake
livening and chilling
everything beyond
our window sill
.
and we know
that all the fun is here
in our own little corner
watching the snowflake
fluffing down
as we warm by the chimney
still…

fat dream
chasing a fat dream
patching a torn seam
is love a racing stream
are we a winning team
.
hung from a roof beam
placid like shaving cream
when water turns to steam
my eyes no longer gleam
.

a lifetime
perhaps you should know
that I love you more than
a lifetime
of seeing each other
of coping with each other
and learning from each other
.
it really took me a lifetime to find you
and somehow
I just know that
it will take me a lifetime
to get over you
.
.
if you go..

Ow Buay K’nwah

Ow Buay K’nwah To Kong Beh Jin
Peng Koay Lai, To Eow Lan Hin

(Version in English)
From the rear, surely we could not recognise
Turn around and you will faint!

About this rhyme/saying:~
This rhyme/saying teases woman who looks convincing from behind but different from the front..
The author/owner has compiled for record, a collection of early Hokkien sayings, proverbs, rhymes and ditties to capture the essence and spirit of his hoi polloi, a community originating from the southern province of Fujian, China where individuals climbed aboard bum boats, crossing the South China Sea to settle in faraway lands to escape the brewing civil unrest and a way out from hardship carrying along with them in their journey, nothing except their trademark ponytails and their beliefs, very much rooted in Confucianism. These ditties retell their story and their lifestyle way back then so that the younger generation can gain an insight and foothold to their origin..

spiral stair
with each climb
with each spiral
the stair widens

the lightness now
awes our feet..
