- 28th February 2011 -

A rainy Monday,
The start of a gloomy week,
Strangely I’m smiling.

***

It goes down the drain...
All these life trials and pain,
Make her go insane.

***

The flower bloomed once,
Unforgettable beauty,
Now it’s withering.

***

Coconut green tea,
The flavour of my muffin,
It should be tasty.

***

Phe-yl-al-uh-neen?
What the, I can’t pronounce it!
Better not have, then.

***

When the time is up,
And I’m to depart this world,
Will I be alone?

***

Can’t rewind the pause,
Can’t pause the present either,
Must face the future.

***

Scattered all over,
Yet we know we’re not alone,
We have each other.

***

Losing gravity,
And no ground to step on,
Floating, motionless.

***

I shan’t silence you,
But accept as part of me,
And be more at peace.

***

When that voice whispered
You must become that number!
It all went downhill.

- 26th February 2011 -

We crossed path here once,
The Belly, and he drifted,
He swam, and I stayed.

***

Interpret my dream,
It has been haunting my nights,
Black, I only see.

***

You struck the idols,
And facing those who fought you,
I wish I’m that brave.

***

In a hopeless sea,
I am drowning, and your ark,
I can see. Save me.

***

Drenched in a man’s blood,
You repented, and redeemed,
It gives me a hope.

***

Can your healing hands,
Perform their magic on me,
Ease this aching heart?

***

History repeats,
Its voice tempted, and I ate,
The forbidden fruit.

***
What I must conquer,
Is not the lust of others,
But that of within.

***
Balance and measures,
That he upheld, I transgressed,
‘cause their words controlled,

***

What use is knowing,
The world’s language, if I can’t,
Understand myself.

***

- 25th February 2011 -

A mug of coffee,
At ten thirty three PM,
Will keep me awake.

***

In the Cinema,
I witness the world of dreams,
That I can’t attain.

***

He’d give up his sight,
If he could hear, once again,
Her beautiful voice.

***

The longest hour,
I watch the wind takes this ship,
To where my love is.

**

Revolution starts,
The voices inside tell me,
That I need to change.

***

- 24th February 2011 -

A forgotten Book,
Is yearning to be opened,
By a learning mind.

***

Kiwi, sweet chilli,
Plums, pear, lemon, grape, lychee,
My fruit salad lunch.
(Seriously)

***

A bewildered look,
They gave as they watched me eat,
My kiwi unpeeled.

***

The song hurts less now,
Though pain still sweetly kisses,
I no longer cry.

- 23rd February 2011 -

That day was cloudy,
She felt a tingling numbness,
A storm was coming.

***

She came home, rushing,
Saw him standing there, speechless,
Suddenly, time froze.

***

He struggled to speak,
As her eyes began to swell,
No words but, “Sorry.”

***

She cried in his arms,
A parchment on the floor read,
“You’ve been conscripted.”

***

Days went by quickly,
The time had now dawned for her,
To kiss him goodbye.

***

His words, “Wait for me,”
“I’ll come back, grow old with you.”
Her reason to live.

***

She could not forget,
The moment he disappeared,
And she was alone.

***

Every dusk she lived,
She’d look at the bloody sky,
And asked, “How are you?”

***

She sat lifelessly,
Drowning in a lonely sea,
And wept, “Please come home.”

***

The news had arrived,
The word ‘Peace’ was in the air,
The Braves would be home.

***

She had been counting,
The days, to that night to come,
The longing would end.

***

Inside the tunnel,
She could feel the gushing wind,
The last train had come.

***

She sighed as she saw,
The last passenger debarked,
‘Cause it was not him.

***

She sat with Sorrow,
Drinking a goblet of Pain,
For she had lost Joy.

***

Every night she heard,
A whispering voice, of his,
“Come to where I am.”

***

She had been staring,
At a dagger that lied nigh,
And she decided.

***

Thus she closed her eyes,
And whispered, “Dear, I love you.”
“But life, I must live.”

- 22nd February 2011 -

The Mother Nature,
Growled, and thousands passed away,
She asked us to change.

***

I followed his life,
From birth until adulthood,
He, the boy who lived.

***

Time will heal, they say,
True, time washes pain away,
But the scar will stay.

***

Ivory and black,
Reminds me of the time when,
We created music.

***

- 21 February 2011 -

She's just skin and bones,
Yet the mirror keeps saying,
It is not enough!

***

Peace be upon you,
Farewell, and if God's willing,
Then we'll meet again.

***

Cold shower at night,
Is not enough to cool down,
This mad, burning heart.

***

Alone, once again,
With silence as my dear friend,
Just like years before.

***

- 20th February 2011 -

Life is just a stage,
When we put on our masks,
And deceive others.

***

The moon is awake,
When darkness greets, and she goes,
When morning light comes.

***

It is overdue,
An apology from you,
I am still waiting.

***

Savings, everyday,
Reward booster, e-saver,
Types of bank account!

***

I don't belong there,
The high place of kings and queens,
Low I shall remain.

***

Anyone could see,
Even the blind, that madly,
In love I'm with you.

***

That day was rainy,
I cried, waiting for a hand,
And there, you found me.

***

- 19th February 2011 -

My vision of us,
Unified community,
Is all but a dream…

***

Lemon custard pie,
Sits sweetly on the table,
But none comes to touch.

***

The dress was worn once,
And now is gathering dust,
She wants it no more.

***

Childhood memory,
Is blurred, I cannot recall,
Because you were there.

***

The old man sees her,
An angel, coldly smiling,
With her, he departs.

***

Through the night, she cried,
People walked by, but helped not,
For she's an Unseen.

***

Ten winters has gone,
She's no longer who she was,
So friend, forget her!

***

Blueberry muffin,
Sweet treat for a bitter heart,
Let me have one, please!

***

That day was snowy,
When you were in my arms, cold,
Your last words, "Love you."

***

- 18th February 2011 -

Fell sick yesterday,
On bed for eighteen hours,
Didn't post haikus.

***

“Fountain of Life”,
That’s how they define water,
For us, it spells death.

***

Stuck inside a cave,
I know not how to get out,
Somebody help me!

***

The car in front reads,
"Honk if you think I'm sexy,"
I laugh, and then honk.

***

Refined cane sugar,
It is sweetly dangerous,
Just like your kindness.

***

Spring goes, summer ends,
They both kiss me the same way,
Bittersweet goodbye.

***

For a bag of rice,
The boy works by day and night,
What else can he do?

***

I watch the blood flows,
Slowly, coldly, drop by drop,
‘Til my hand's all drenched.

***

It's cloudy no more,
Feels like the sky's telling me,
"Smile, and be happy."

***

If you can't fulfil,
Then swear not you'll be faithful,
Which will break her heart.

***

Promise me you'll walk,
Towards a better future,
Even without him!

***

- 16th February 2011 -

Those who departed,
Left a beautiful message,
But we turned away.

***

Australian Standard,
One seven three five point two,
Specs of landing sill.

***

If impossible,
Is a worldly encounter,
Let's meet, afterlife.

***

"Wait, I'm running late!"
I said, two seconds before,
A car came crashing.

***

The top of the hill,
Looks far and unreachable,
But I'll keep walking.

***

The top of the hill,
Looks far and unreachable,
But I'll keep walking.

***

Remember this place?
We were standing and watching,
The blushing sunset.

***

Inside this prison,
We hope the forbidden hope,
Someone will free us.

***

The lush, green Garden,
Will not make me contended,
If there you are not.

- 14th February 2011 -

Buttermilk pancake,
Sugar fix in the morning,
Now I am all high.

***

I wrote, she departs,
A smile, and tears on her face...
And that's the ending.

***

Nothing to be seen,
More than what it is right now,
I am that simple.

***

Haiku word is "you",
I know not how to define,
You're beyond mere words.

***

Teaspoon of poison,
Shall take me to where you are,
Wait for me, I'll come.

***

Sixteen is her age,
Superficial is her world,
Strong is her nature.

***

Say you, I'm useless,
But watch, as I walk my life,
I will prove you wrong.

***

She threw away all,
Her wealth, status, and power,
Just to be with him.

***

Can't be together,
For they are two worlds apart,
Forbidden lovers.

***

Sorry, have to cough,
And suggest to you love birds,
To go get a room?

***

She who blooms the last,
Will be the prettiest one,
And captivate most.

***

- 13th February 2011 -

It is almost twelve,
And the moon is half asleep,
But I'm still awake.

***

It's been a blessing,
To have crossed path and knew you,
Though it ends in pain.

***

They declared a war,
And slain all those who differed,
With burning hatred.ent

***

Summer bids farewell,
March greets the woeful lovers,
With autumn colour.

***

My friend, remind me,
Of the oath that I made then,
So I do not fall.

***

He’s the famous star,
His life’s everyone’s business,
Without privacy.

***

Pack my bag and go,
I wish it is that easy,
But I have to stay.

***

Eighteen chocolate cakes,
I made today, wrapped with love.
For Valentines Day.

***

What used to be hers,
Was snatched away, and is mine,
I don't feel guilty.

***

What more can I do?
To make you finally see,
My worth, and return.

***

Engineer I am,
Bridges and roads I design,
You'd better be scared!

***

The little boy cried,
Mama, mama, where are you?
And heard no answer.

***

12th February 2011

Another morning,
Oatmeal and milk for breakfast,
I am off to work!

***

Said, "I'll be on guard."
But my defense collapses,
Soon as I see you.

***

Neither you nor I,
Know where the future leads us,
So live the moment.

***

One, two, three, four shots!
I drank, to escape from life,
But pain, I still feel.

***

This mask will break soon,
When the day finally comes,
I'm no longer here.

***

Soon I will forget,
But for now, let me recall,
All the times we've spent.

***

Soil settlement, what?
I don't get this subject, blah,
Mechanics of soil.

**

Their words awakened,
And old foe who's long asleep,
A battle begins.

***

- 11th February 2011 -

The curtain closes,
And the actress' face changes,
From happy to sad.

***

Isn't it lovely?
The time we've spent together,
I'll never forget.

***

Cheddar, parmesan,
Cottage, edam, brie, fetta,
Such are types of cheese.

***

I said I'd be strong,
But why, as I said goodbye,
I shed million tears.

***

The heart is broken,
Leave it, don't try to fix it,
You will hurt, again.

***

The greatest battle,
That I have to overcome,
Is firing within.

***

- 10 February 2011 -

She's the men's ladies,
But the one she truly loves,
Reciprocates not.

***

The beggar departs,
With a smile on his pale face,
Someone has been kind.

***

Today she's a bride,
But it is her saddest day,
For he is not there.

***

A gem to protect,
Her beauty veiled from the world,
Forever unknown.

***

Joy of a housewife,
She prepares a meal for him,
Expression of love.

***

You can punish me!
You can send me to the grave!
But truth WILL prevail!

***

Wrapped in satin dress,
She captivates everyone,
I watch with envy.

***

My search for the truth,
Embarked when I was alone,
But now I have them.

***

Why should I question?
If I can obtain comfort,
From blind following.

***

Everytime I dream,
I walk the Land of the Free,
and meet The Peaceful.

***

Behind the cover,
I see a hidden beauty,
And it intrigues me.

***

I heard a voice, “Peace!”
From a distant foreign land,
Where I longed to be.

***

Come, lovely April!
For then we'll be united,
No longer alone.

***

Religious I'm not,
But today, to God I pray,
You'll find happiness.

***

She heard him, "farewell",
Then she walked into the lake,
Walked, and did not stop.

***

Not in this world, Dear,
The world has denied us, so,
Meet me in Eden.

***

- 9th February 2011 -

The lion in me,
Is devouring within,
And needs to be tamed.

***

Valentines Day nears,
Love cookies are sweetly wrapped,
But none to give to...

***

The castle stands tall,
A princess waits for a prince,
Who will never come.

***

Such a sweet sorrow,
Reminiscing all the times,
As you say goodbye.

***

Ill thoughts filled my head,
When you disappeared from sight,
For that, forgive me.

***

Generation gap,
Grandson cares not for the Old,
Will that be my fate?

***

Five twenty five strikes,
Quickly I jump out the bed,
Just another day.

***

Your secret's safe here,
Though sword is upon my chest,
My lips will be sealed.

***

It's never been four,
Though you twain deny, it's three,
And I'm cast away.

***

Do I need to say,
It is not that I want you,
I need you, get it?!

***

You are the holder,
Of the key to my heart, and,
You're gone, and I'm locked.

***

Fresh strawberry jam,
Smells of delicious breakfast,
And sweetens my day.

***

Jonah was trapped in,
He mended and lived, while I,
Went the other way.

***

A tough day at work,
I should have kept a swear jar,
'Cause now I'd be rich.

***

Drink your life away!
Feel the sorrow sweeps through you,
Until morning comes.

***

Party girl, I'm not,
How plain and boring, you'll say,
I am cool with that.

***

The cold woman stares,
And the boy smiles, and says hi,
Her heart melts away.

***

My hair’s growing long,
Maybe it needs a new style,
I'll consider bob.

***

The man wanted death,
As he jumped, he realised,
He desired life.


***

Dance 'til my legs break,
'Cause I don't want to let go,
These hands of yours, Dear...

***

I opened my purse,
Ten dollar note sits alone,
Must last me one week.

***

We built together,
Our dreams for the future,
But we've forgotten.

***

A confident girl,
Is left stunned and words won't flow,
When he is present.

***

- 8th February 2011 -

The silent language,
Reveals more of within than,
Thousand words spoken.

***

Falling autumn leaves,
Time for a change of season,
And a change of heart.

***

I denied Logic,
When it whispered, “Let go,”
Now I understand.

***

One verse of Peace reads,
“With difficulty comes ease,”
It relieves the heart.

***

Yes, aloneness greets,
But in me, I’ll still have Him,
Who forgives and loves.

***

Death gives no mercy,
Once it finds and kisses you,
You’re amongst the Gone.

***

We construct image,
From their words, smiles and gestures,
Though their lives, unknown.

***

We've drifted away,
When we were close, we were one,
Once upon a time...

***

Thank God it's Friday!
Happily these people cheered,
For me, it's the same.

***

Closely hanging on,
To the fingertips of time,
Don't want to let go.

***

The little boy peeks,
And adores the girl’s singing,
Innocent love blooms.

***

Putting all aside,
Letting go of this feeling,
I think I'll move on.

***

Yesterday once more,
The song resonates inside,
And tears start falling.

***

A plain girl, you're not,
Such are the words of my friends,
But I can't believe.

***

Going out of town,
To escape its endless buzz,
And find contentment.

***

As fragile as glass,
I'm afraid it will break soon,
My weapon, my mask...

***

Such wonderful gift,
But we humans rarely use,
The freedom to think.

***

- 7th February 2011-

Son, though unpleasant,
Please drink. For clean, pure water,
We cannot afford.

***

Behind the mirror,
You're living, and will remain,
Girl of vanity.

***

The shape matters not,
Hourglass, apple or pear,
We’re still beautiful.

***

Glorious August,
We all battled, and shed blood,
For independence!

***

The ladies in gold,
All look so fine, and your eyes,
Will not look my way.

***

Tell, about that place,
"Somewhere over the rainbow,"
How can I get there?

***

Why will you not take?
What is yours since beginning,
My heart, and my soul.

***

Was led to this Path,
Often quiet and lonely,
But I'm not alone.

***

The pine tree stands tall,
The proud wind defeats it not,
Wish I was like that...

***

The devil greeted,
And what I am becoming,
I hate it, a lot.

***

Wouldn't it be nice?
If no veil divided us,
No lust, just pure love...

***

- 6th February 2011 -

Self esteem, I lacked,
In me, could only see black,
There, I won’t come back.

***

Ask, and I’ll answer,
Truthfully, nothing to hide,
Because you, I trust.

***

It all disappeared,
Just like bubbles in the sea,
What's wrong, I wonder?

***

They fight endlessly?
For what? Hatred? Oil? Defense?
Still, it isn't right!

***

Shoot, with your arrow!
Though I'll see not tomorrow,
I'll feel not sorrow.

***

Powerful statement,
"Heaven awaits followers,
Henceforward, obey!"

***

++ Last Year's Haikus ++

Old stuff before from last year:

***

I wish to see you,
And say, “Stop, those foolish things!”
You, my younger self.

Farewell, my lover,
Long I’ve been with you, but One,
I cannot give up.

Yesterday’s not fine,
And today hard I’m struggling.
Morrow’s good, I know!

You speak words of peace,
But I wonder why your heart,
Is filled with contempt?

Recall, when I said?
“Be safe, and live peacefully.”
I meant it. Truly.

At least now I know,
And waiting will be no more,
Your heart’s never mine.

Hi, my dearest friend,
I wonder if your sky there,
Is as bright as mine?

Look inside your heart,
And you’ll find we’re not a dream.
We are reality.

Can I aim for you?
The one, far out of my reach...
Should I wish, or not?

Know, you're a good friend,
What they say, I do not care.
Please, remember this.

Dear Mum, how are you?
Your daughter’s here, missing you.
I hope you’re smiling.

Hey, my lovely coat,
Wrap me in this cold morning,
For I am lonely…

The news travels far,
'bout a queen of a strange land,
Alone, and crying.....

Climb high! That, you say,
But it is to my dismay,
Low here, I shall stay.

I love paw paw fruit,
Sweet, tasty and delicious,
Reminds me of home...

I want you to give,
Chance for me to truly live,
I beg you, forgive...

I remember your smile,
As if that was our last,
But we'll meet again!

Softly you whisper,
Trying to kill me inside,
But I WILL survive!

You shall be my lamp,
To lead me when in darkness,
You are, my Guidance.

They say you're a hunk,
But you're no more than a punk!
To me, anyway.

Don't say the word YES,
When your heart screams out loud NO!
Be true to yourself.

Sorry I must go,
For it's my duty to fight,
And leave you behind.

He’s the royal prince,
Heir to the glorious throne,
Worlds apart, from me...

I am a woman,
And I cannot read a map!
Hopeless, yes I know!

Happily ever...
I wish I can say that, but...
Life is a struggle.

A nickel I have,
I wonder what I can buy?
I'm starving, dying...

Come, open the door,
And you'll see the world unknown,
Strange, yet beautiful.

Peace on you Sister,
Do not despair, and stay strong.
I'll be here, for you.

O Lawyers, tell me!
Why do I see injustice?
Who do you fight for?

I can reminisce,
The times we've spent together,
Here, in my graveyard.

Just like black coffee,
Bitter, and hard to swallow,
Such is my defeat.

Springtime is coming,
Colour blossoms everywhere,
But my heart's still gray...

When you wish me love,
It feels like salt on a wound,
'Cause you're who I love.

You smile when you mourn,
Know not you, it's not healthy?
So let it out. Cry.

When the world turns dark,
Paint of a picture, of us.
Smiling. And then, live.

Out in the cold streets,
The night butterflies roam free,
While their hearts, enslaved.

You say the game blows,
But nay! Have you ever thought,
You just don’t cut it?

When all hopes are lost,
Just remember, my dear friend,
You still have me here.

Good morning Grandpa,
How I wish to be with you,
I miss you. So much.

Three shall never be,
The truth for me! Because One,
Makes me feel content.

I know you, my Dear,
You may look a Giant, but,
You're a kid at heart.

Father, can you hear?
A thing I've wanted to say.
Make her happy, please.

It is time for me,
To finally make a choice,
Sorry, it's not you.

Deprive me of food!
Make me starve and die! But you,
Won't take my freedom!

"The gas suffocates",
Says the tree when her friends die,
'Cause of us, humans.

Hast thou heard this heart,
Who here longs for thy presence?
Thou! I desire.

Know, what is a home?
Not this house, but you who I,
Quietly adore.

I thank God who sent,
A friend who eases my heart,
You know, that is you.

Read, and discover!
The truth, you've been deprived from.
Then, set yourself FREE!

I hold an ace card,
I know your secrets. And you,
Will be my puppet.

Do you play magic?
No? Then why is it, I fly?
When our eyes meet.

Since the day I saw,
The truth and began to walk,
I've never looked back.

Should I be honest,
And tell you what lies within?
If I do, I'll blush.

In the world of card,
You'd be the king, she the queen.
And I, the joker.

Such a strange feeling,
I don't know how to describe,
Do you feel it too?

Can they see behind,
The mask that says, "Don't worry."
There's a girl, weeping?

A colour I'll choose,
To paint a picture of you,
Is black, 'cause that's you.

She cannot flutter,
Her wings so beautifully.
Broken butterfly.

She comes to visit,
To pull me back to THAT hell.
God, give me the strength.

"Plain and not pretty."
Whispers the mirror to me.
I no longer care.

O Men of Justice!
Will you establish the law,
For us, The Lowly?

Ideology.
Passed down by our Fathers.
Has shackled the brain.

Though farewell you bid,
Your presence I can't forget,
And time will not heal.

Dare you to bring forth,
Evidence if you're truthful!
Why are you speechless?

Yesterday I dreamed,
Of a rainy afternoon.
And then, I recalled...

He stood quietly,
In front of the bakery,
Starving. And none cared.

The girl is hungry,
But tightly closed is her mouth.
The word "fat", she fears.

Cutting are your words,
Hurting the hearts of the weak,
You don't care, do you?

Sunshine of the day,
Will never cross his path with,
Moonlight of the night.

Moonlight Sonata,
Reminds me of the time then,
Bittersweet in taste.

If you do know so,
That I fish for compliment,
Give me already!

The leaves start falling,
As February goes by,
And I feel so cold.

Two winters ago,
A promise made, unfulfilled,
And left me hanging.

Waiting to be played,
Our friendship sonata.
Come! And play with me.

The lady you see,
Smiling in the magazine,
Sorry, I can’t be!

I love making cakes,
The sweet, moist and yummy ones,
Yum, I'm drooling now.

Lost my student card,
So had to pay adult fare,
God, I'm so annoyed!

* Yes, that just happened today*

Scratch the scratchy card,
Wanting the same number thrice,
Yay, won five dollars!

It’s almost the time,
Pop online already, geez!
I’m bored, want to chat.

Yes, yes Sir, I know,
I work here, do not tell me.
What a long black is!

Sorry Ma'am, we don't,
Only white, brown, Turkish, French,
So no rye bread here.

Wow, one hundred score!
Well done, you no longer blow,
Let's play more Scramble!

Isn't it dawn there?
So weird, that you're still awake,
Why not go sleep yo!?

Exam in two weeks,
No, not studying right now,
Rather play haiku.

Wow, this show for real!
A farmer's wanting a wife?
Who came up with this?

No butter spread please,
Prefer jam on my toast, thanks!
No way, you run out?

I’m an Asian,
Don't use fork and knife to eat,
A spoon for the win!

In a can of coke,
What, one hundred calorie?
Me no buy, thank you!

Boo, can't remember?
Let me dig my archive, yes?
For the chat last week!

So many trolls here!
Where are the moderators?
Get rid of them, please!

Okay, no sugar.
Your coffee bitter, I see,
Sweet already, wink?

Man, been one hour!
Stop passing the ball, grumbles,
Go make some goals yo!

Enough of blah blah,
Let's be blunt and forward, yes?
Dinner next week? No.

Stop walking so slow,
Many people behind, geez,
Face book group, click join.

Can't reach the rice milk,
Hey Boss, where is the ladder?
At the back, I see.

Broken cup on floor,
Tee hee it's you Boss, not me.
Still, I'll clean the mess.

Seriously folks,
Enough of soy, rice, oat milk,
No big difference!

Concrete design test,
Fell flat on my face. Oh what?
You got full marks? Nerd.

Arise from the dead,
Can't think better storyline?
Yeah yeah, I'll still read.

You are such a trip,
Your arguments are ha ha,
Stop trolling, you trolls.

Oh my, you for real?
None of medium rare, PLEASE!
Well done all the way!

How many more acts,
Of the cute, naive, shy, nice?
'Til you fall weak, grrrrr....

The setting of sun,
The blushing sky, chirping birds,
Make me feel at peace.

One word you uttered,
Enough to push me off cliff,
And hit rock bottom.

A land of the Free,
Where strangers become old friends.
This place is a home.

Hey everybody!
Listen to this song that I...
Wait, why run away?

In the cold, he longs,
For a warm meal, and blanket,
While we're sound asleep.

My beloved playmate,
Recall, our secret place?
Where only we know.

A morning message,
Sitting inside my mailbox,
I hope it's not bills.

It's the last supper,
Before you bid me farewell,
It's bitter in taste.
