Having settled back into the lap,
Of my original birth sack,
I am anything but...

Along the corridors both in white overcoats,
I think that’s what unifies us, what charges the environment
Even with light shakes and occasional jades
With larks pretence to just keep the handshake a little longer
Every meeting moment, both...

Another day we awake, in this desolate world
Years of debris in continuing swirl
In the town where i stay, we have rallied and done
We have underground points, where we frequently run

We always discussed, the times they...

It's late, the bar is nearly empty,
One or two folks left besides me.
Although I can hear them,
Only blurrs now do I see.

Joan
She sits in the gloom of her freezing cold room
A room she can’t heat anymore
Her larder is bare but she never goes there

Her late husband’s medal lies there by her chair
How...

Three days since he's been out 

A million fears he contemplates
Too scared to rest...

SINGAPORE LIMERICKS 

1.	The daughter

There once was a crusty old hawker 
who married his neighbour’s fat daughter
She thought she’d be rich
But she did not know which

which, in itself, is an alarming stat…

Professional in their minds, never to roam

Damning souls of destruction fuelled with gun-cotton

I remember our first state fairs
As a young family we could usually be found…
beginning where most families begin…riding the merry-go-round.

Together as a family…sharing smiles and laughter…
occasionally a frown….
standing next to our children…ready to catch them

they were beautiful, full and made me smile just about everyday.
