Poetry

Chinatown

My body, harboured a violent storm.
Uprooting the desires inside,
Tearing me whole outside,
Never for once, giving away it's unconvincing disguise.

The trembling gaze of the taciturn lover,
With her little brown eyes, never for once did uncover,
The sinister intentions of a timeless saviour.

You ask me of nameless rivers,
With an unsteady heart, I talk to you of wavering cries.
"It's hard to follow what you say.
And it pains me to know how little I know of you"

My brother brings me flowers of the wild,
A home in ruin, nurtured the vulnerability of this lonely child.
The deeps of my soul, is filled with his love,
My mother's, my father's.
Sensing the wrongs of your heart,
I would part ways with the tyrant's dark.

Leave me in the sea, with no one for company
I will walk the silent shores, to acknowledge the light you send my way.
