Creative juices ignited!… Or not….
All thanks to Hangwei’s stroke of genius, I wrote this several days ago:
My Lover
Waking up and feeling so grey
Alone, with no one else around
No more laughter, only groans and
Raindrops pelting me down
On a dreaded Thursday evening
The hills seems much higher then before
The still air, stale and lifeless
Weakens my heart further
With past memories of her and me
On my shoulders i carry
Bit by bit, my mind become heavier
Step by step, my chest sinks deeper
The weights crashing down
As if in slow motion
Eating away my heart, piece by piece
Is my time up already?
Is this the last straw that finally splits me
Apart, Separated, Withdrawn from the world
Finally breaking me down
On my journey to nowhere
Knees deep in sorrow
My legs buckles, collapsing
The seconds drowning my existence
As I dived forever, deeper
Into the dark abyss, alone
Without warning, a hand reaches out
Holding me, engulfing my dead self
With warmth, kindness, tenderness
Hovering high above
At first, a mirage it seems
Wait, what is this Light I glimpse
Piercing through my soul
Lifting me out of this black hole
As I turned around
You landed softly
My savior, my angel
My Lover
The sadness fades away as
Night transforms into day
With her gentle arms around mine
As we skipped down the rolling hills
I smile with felicity, forever and ever……

Initially, I meant for this song/poem to express my deepest, inner feelings. Then some bimbo-tic friends of mine commented that it was "too sad" and "depressing". So I added the last three verses to lighten the mood. Then they said it was too cheerful. Come on, make up your minds already!!! I swear, before NS, i was able to write poems a million times better than this!! Until now, I am still pondering if this should be a song or a poem……
Anyway, the thing is, after years and years of experience, I can, for a matter of fact, state that chicks go crazy when guys write poems to them. Poetry is so damn freaking ROMANTIC!
It puts a guy forward in a very old-fashioned, gentlemanly manner that shows off his creativity, sensitivity, and most importantly, sincerity, towards the skirt he is chasing. The poem does not have to rhyme. It does not require the use of any unrecognizable words or flipping of the encyclopedia, dictionary or thesaurus. And most importantly, it does not, and MUST NOT, start off with "roses are red, violets are blue" and "A is for…., B is for…". And the paper and ink really matters as well. No matter how fantastic your poem is, if you wrote it on a dog eared foolscap paper with a choked-up blue ball point pen, good luck to you. So, as long as your true intentions are well written and presented, you should be laughing on your way to a dinner and a movie. But, I stress that poetry writing will only work if:
a) The girl digs you.
b) Both of you are already going out.
c) You are a hybrid between Brad Pit and Tom Cruise.
d) You are a rich jock and you drive a flashy car.
e) She is a girl.
If you fulfill at least two of the mentioned criteria, Congratulations! See you at the second or third base!!! If, somehow, the laws of nature made you creatively-handicapped or romantically-impaired, you can always copy a poem from the internet and pass it off as your own work of art. In fact, why don’t you use my poem….
RIGHT…..
You know I am kidding right?…..
Seriously…
I study business law and i will sue you if you try anything funny…..
