Long Facelift Poems

“Dragons don’t live up to the talk. 
I’ll find a way to fix the wagon”,
Opined the jealous Jabberwock,
“Of the scaly, lummox dragon.” 

This foul fiend then, most inhumanely, 
Pausing to munch a trembling snack
As his...

Zits!

Pus problems ... oozing wipe love,
has got them innocent bite fangs showing
That baby drac queen moon face turning
into a teenage mutant turtledove

Cold cream cyber hits

Another three-day seclusion ... 
chained to a marred model illusion
Hip adolescent...

Blue flowers plucked
Nyona bak chang** moments;
Satisfying rice cakes


By this old fence
Echoes of giggles;
Laughter mocks schoolyard


Road diversion
Roundabout detour;
Long cul de sac


Wedding festivities
Details and stuff;
Final agenda looms


Joy wears a face
Celebration evokes;
Certain gratification


Flame of the Forest tree
Nice shady...

Saw the advertisement of a sleazy Volkswagen
Surfed the net as the seed was sown
For anything based on german technology
I knew nothing about car mechanisms
Except the comfort of conveniences
Yet updated my limited knowledge 
With its mileage,...

Shopped...

Old facade
Museum facelift;
Joy sparkles

Uneasy buzz
Empty talk ooze;
Juicy bits

Pokemon fling
Sure strokes sling;
Crazy madness

Newspaper headlines
Too much noise;
Trade deficit

Violent protests
Crowds angry now;
Defiance congregates

Bad news sells
Print run profit;
Violence breeds rape

White wake
Gloomy death black;
Grief suffocates

~~~~~~~~~


Single rose stalk
Sad parting gift;
Funeral pyre

So swiftly now, so much of change;
Time yields endow, time feels so strange.


So quickly here, so change feels strange;
The times brought cheer, the feel of change.


It seems a flash, a brilliant blur;
The spiral dash, an...

If it were me I would definitely want someone to run and tell,
Knowing what I know, seeing what I see,
No doubt that emptiness is on a long journey to hell.
Ring the alarm better yet sound...

Unlock your life’s padlock and turn not hands of time
Whether lemonade from lassitude lemons
Tastes awful, text messages irritate the mime
Your rate unfunny as savoury sermons

Scare daylights out of the bittersweet life you live
Regardless of storms...

Old colonial shophouse 
Freehold property;
Modern facelift

Old roads paved once again,
New patchwork paint meets rain,
New trace of ancient strains.


Old buildings in new bloom,
Urban landscape frames boom,
Old hues in modern gloom.


New patterns in old style,
So many facelifts pile,
Juxtapose such odd smiles.


New ways...

A Christmas Tale

In the dim and distant past,
There was sore enmity
Between Divinity and Humanity
Man’s disobedience paved way to sin
roping man into the devil's captivity.

God was heartbroken
Beholding man from Heaven
And concocted a bridge for Unity
By sending...

Words in e-ink
Suffocate dry throat;
Waiting to emerge

Adopt that happy stance
Look cheery just for now;
Appease prompt bluff

Books for the journey
To look and see and glimpse;
Suspect sheer gravity

In my dreamy glimpse
My mother smiles a sigh;
Familiar territory

That old church
Miraculous Novenas prayed;
Urban facelift upgrades

Once upon a rhyme
Edgy words conspired;
Awkward exfoliation

Waiting for the muse
Words falter and flop;
No poem today

Journey Journal gripes
So much to write;
Self-healing ventures

Listen to my story
As I recite in words;

With every senseless death
We slip into the underworld
And unwittingly fertilize the earth
To grow and cultivate even more hatred

We’re all in a syringe
Crushed under this global empire
Driving the needle of revenge
To suck life-giving blood like vampires

Eileen has nicknamed me Kenny
Because of my resemblance to Mr. Rogers
Wish I had his piles of dough though

Methinks she means before his facelift
At least that's what I hope she...
