Journeys begin
Watch pulse of heart;
Intent conspires
Old Casuarina tree
By school compound;
Witness to history
Stormy morning
Thunder and lightning;
Moody weather lashing
My old school dome
Now a museum;
To cement yesterday
Book shop retreat
Between covers;
Too much to know
Tour agency desk
Brisk bookings;
Now here or somewhere?
Chinatown hotspot
People congregate;
Worship by shopping
Ancestral shrine
We commune here;
Our forebears await
Clogged intersections
Crossroad commentary;
Noisy traffic jam

Balcony moods
Morning offering;
Song of bird duo
By the yard edge
Bird frolic twitter;
A cheery quartet
Song fills dawn
Sunlight slants;
Window view sparkles
Last night's rain
Wet grounds betray;
Uneven footsteps traced
Joy after sorrow
Traces of old grief;
Ushered out abruptly
Old sepia memories
Silver nitrate etchings;
Old time photography
Haunting faces preside
Mother and father;
Yesterday's courtesy
Today flings
Doors wide open;
Strangers in paradise
Prayers on altars
Everywhere we go;
Living burying the dead
Can you hear
Sounds of old strains;
Voices calling in echoes
This life we live
Takes sterner stuff;
Hope feeds effort
Do you notice
A common melody;
Swirling time after time
Mundane routines
Calls time for after shocks;
Trauma feeds norm
When I listen
Do I hear
Sounds in the silence
Trip to market
Buy and sell;
Barter for things
Hate is fear exposed
Let love attend trade;
Poverty lives painful hatred
Look up and see
Dawn in a flash;
Insight reveals truth

OLDE SJI BRAS BASAH ROAD, 1971
By Leon Enriquez
Morning Glory
Florals on a fence
Violet blooms beauty
Plain in sparkling sense
Olde school field
By Bras Basah Road
Boys and football yield
To dawn’s purple load
~~~~~~~~~
Dawn now brings
Such sparkling creepers
Olde tints of fond flings
Such transient flowers
We recall
Days of yesterday
Sounds of lost footfalls
Echoes of school days
~~~~~~~~~
For a while
Till that harsh sun burns
Faded dying smiles
To the earth return
Brief your tale
On the dusty road
Yet your truth avails
Of brief surreal loads
~~~~~~~~~
Now here we
Go on our way there
To visit and see
To be yet nowhere
Old men think
Upon times now gone
Laughter on verge brink
Olde days and lost dawns
~~~~~~~~~
Lost school daze
Dribbling on that field
Our cheeky fond craze
Olde time humour yields
For a while
You and I and all
Taste feel and try smiles
To pile sweet and gall
~~~~~~~~~
Olde school grounds
Memory lane thoughts
New cityscape bounds
Olde souls recall lots
Lost yet found
Olde echoes call out
Floral fence abound
Hear sunny glee pout
~~~~~~~~~
Here by grace
Each to each olde souls
Journey quest we trace
Incomplete yet whole
By the way
A restless wit primes
Just another day
Grateful for our time
~~~~~~~~~
Those days tint
Our old boys’ refrain
Violet floral hints
On the rail fence strain
Morning Glory
Let’s not live in vain
But seed love’s fancy
As light sparkles plain
~~~~~~~~~

Yes here we go
Round and round and round
Buzz blow for blow
Seek till lost is found
In twist and turn
Found and lost and found
Watch the stakes burn
Toss and turn old grounds
Feel that odd curl
Little by little
Strange senses hurl
Watch doodles unfurl
Dig deeper dream
Blot pen on paper
Set fragile scheme
For mind does matter
Forge feisty stuff
Prompt puzzles profound
More than enough
Moot rules quite unsound
Curb that fancy
Slave to old fashion
Not quite trendy
On timely action
Still as ample
As dawn light sermon
That hurls sample
To cast vain demons
Set our cares free
Ending and starting
To simply be
Starting and ending
Wit wallows well
In sublime retreat
No need to dwell
On how ends can meet

Conscious awareness screens
Mental movie unseen.
Journey within wonders:
Watch action scenes thunder.
Glimpse beyond mere form here:
Venture into deep spheres.
Thought is but a figment:
Crude and odd instrument.
Feel the stillness create:
Vast and myriad landscapes.
In just a spark all light:
Sense beyond senses, sight.
How can infinity
Rest on all things empty?
Notice then the vast gaps:
Time and space in lost maps.
To know a mystery:
Breathe synchronicity.
Waltz with the great unknown
From silence is all sown.

AMUSE CALLING
~~~~~~~~~~
Feel thoughts that inspire fierce impulse and urge;
Offer fond word tact that truth flavours act;
Love prompts and conspires to startle each surge;
Live emotions fact verses that bloom pact.
Open bold mindscapes to free poignant heart;
Work poetic voice in magic you cite;
Offer wild landscapes to words that fling art;
Wrest then your free choice in music you write.
Nearer than sure death the impulse that fires;
Hurl your sweet wordplay and risk a mistake;
Explore beyond breath the stillness that sires;
Apply the write way to create and make.
Rise to your calling beyond word season;
Trust your voice bubbling to escape reason.

MISSING YOU
(For my parents, and parents-in-law)
By Leon Enriquez
The Angel of Death has come today
To take your beautiful soul away
Our mortal hearts are broken with tears
For you ascended from us my dear
We feel our loss this moment in time
As we reflect on past happy chimes
When laughter and good cheer cast spells
Your wit and kindness and humour tells
~~~~~~~~~
A simple soul with a lovely heart
We will miss your empathy and art
Lavish grace and show of timely care
The kind thoughtful fare beyond compare
Your legacy and blessings remain
On this we lean and our loss contain
You are the reason for our good health
A story beyond our timeless wealth
~~~~~~~~~
In you our special friend we miss most
Sadly, you have given up your ghost
Your earthly days are over right now
Still, your fond memory does endow
Winging on your safe homebound journey
Bless us all with a token lovely
Inspire in our hearts devotion deep
To pray in the heart’s temple for keeps
~~~~~~~~~
Gone too soon as footfalls slip away
Dearly departed from us today
We pray your soul enters paradise
To be with those who gain love’s grand prize
By the columbarium garden wall
Your earthly ashes here we install
Your picture portrait stares at our world
Even as our loss flings tears that swirl
~~~~~~~~~
Our humble mortality a gift
As heart and soul and mind thus uplift
To walk the path to eternity
When we meet love again most truly
With your departure from time and space
We miss your countenance and embrace
Pray for us from the other shore, to be
To live full zest our daily journey
~~~~~~~~~

Start with firm heart where mind sees truth,
Intent sets free the best you can;
Note how to start to work sure proof,
Grow then wisely with working plans;
Align true health with steadfast poise,
Plant and sow well the seeds that grow;
Opt to earn wealth with steady choice,
Reap more that sells what finesse shows;
Express the means to gather more.
Focus on thoughts that cause clear acts,
Indulge true wins that fill your stores;
Feel play and plot that frame bold tact,
Thrill vivid dream with success here,
Yield lavish schemes that spark fond cheer.

Words fail
Meaning blurry;
Nothing rhymes
~~~~~~~~~
Upstairs apartment
Renovation works;
Pneumatic floor blast
~~~~~~~~~
Idle talk punctuates
Not much meaning;
Bizarre thoughts
~~~~~~~~~
Sonic headache
Disturbing pounding;
Head time-bomb ticking
~~~~~~~~~
Constipated movie
Suspicious assumptions;
Character flaws
~~~~~~~~~
Dragonfly pond
Lotus flowers bloom;
Mud bed ascend
~~~~~~~~~
Brief excursion
Exploration;
Abrupt exfoliation
~~~~~~~~~
Beauty delights
Ample assets;
Tipsy tryst
~~~~~~~~~
Orange butterflies
Dazzling flights;
Breezy patterns
~~~~~~~~~
Wavy handwriting
Cursive scripts swirl;
Verse outburst
~~~~~~~~~
Sleepy somnolence
Mid afternoon fare;
Lazy disposition
~~~~~~~~~
Word tiles
Pattern styles;
Thought textures
~~~~~~~~~
Black bird trio
Choral message;
Lightning crackle
~~~~~~~~~
Sound tact
Sure act;
Solid fact
~~~~~~~~~
Busy bee
Blooming finds;
Flower power
~~~~~~~~~
Day ascends
Midday sun strokes;
Positive feedback
~~~~~~~~~
Monday stirrings
Weekday routines call;
Noisy hurrying

Prime pretty play
Dream deeper day
Live laughter loud
Prune preachy proud
See silly stay
Pick poignant pay
Love lines loiter
Mind moves matter
Verse vivid voice
Charm creates choice
Shrewd style speaks sound
Grace grows grand grounds
Mystic mind moves
Gracious gifts groove
Cryptic calm croons
Beauty brings boon
Gain groovy grip
Time tickles trip
Wise wonder works
***** question quirks
Ask apt aura
Feel fine flora
Meet millions more
Subtle soul spores
Prize poignant proof
Taste touching truth
Bright blossoms bloom
Rich rapture rooms
Taste telling times
Right ripples rhymes
