Holistic Living Annex: Poetry

Oh Frustration, You're Always Haunting Me!

I feel as if I was chained,
By an invisible force around my brain,
No matter how hard I try,
I cannot describe the pain, I sigh.

Meet The Creator

Don't let these illusions fool you,

These colours, sound, taste and feelings that you had created,

Don't let them fool you,

There is something that is "You" within your causal body,

This vessel,

If you search and keep an eye for it,

You would experience that "You".

One force, one law,
Everything in life is something we draw,
One universe, one mind,
We are all connected, we only need to find;

One material, one field,
What we think and what we feel,
One goal, one sight,
to obtain happiness and see the light.

Concordia Discors

There is a definite line that we do draw
When tired, aching and sore.
It runs the measure of our resilient core,
Exposes the lightning reach of our hearts inner law.

When the rolling rivers run dry;
Teased by a trickle, we learn to try again.
When our fighting fuel burns past bright;
Sparked by the special, we ignite our sight again.
When the magic of the storm ceases to mesmerise;
Embraced by the ethereal, order in chaos is realised again.

Faith in the darkest hour makes our mystery crystal clear.

The Blade of Fate

Life never turns out the way we plan it,

be it a year, tomorrow or even the next minute.

But no matter what is bound to happen,

there's no doubt the blade of fate is ours to sharpen.

Rain the Blessings of Love

A tie in time.
Some portals collide.
The space is answered,
In a paradox of sorts.

The glimmer of elusive love,
Shines to eternity.
The divine grid of infinity.

The sails of a Lost ship -
Blown to life -
With Winds of change.
Some wild waters of wonder,
Running rivers,
Rolling thunder.
Rain the Blessings of Love.

Awaking from Duality

Guide me right

to the light below the layers

send me then

to my epaxial saviour.

Wearing the coat

of unnecessary needs

to keep warm

my off-beat dreams.

Through spectacles of love and hate

come forth the beauty and fate

of our ever-different elusive world.

Our natural state is chaos in wake

And the illusory faith in utopian tastes

Is our noose for claiming righteousness.

Permit me then

to soberly mend

my resonance with

the now, and in

that frozen moment

above and beyond, behold then

that fixed fact

of a noble pact

that ties all acts betwixt -

our capacity of the dual.

When in Roam

Find meaning whilst awake,

While dreaming,

While sober,

High and breathing.

Give what you take

To find the meaning anew.

Savour the taste -

To arch over blue.

It is what you make.

Don't let it fade to fake:

For your sake,

For our sake,

Don't break the world on your quest.

Find your meaning outside this mess.

Beauty in Fruition

Some vessels teeming with fire
Driving on desire, along
The spiral vicissitudes
Of wanton liars.
Some carriages idle,
Content survivors,
Reach for no more
Than where their heart is.

In some basic binary twist,
We live off each other
And all we destroy or kiss.
It is this, truth that is bliss.

So we arrive
Some when they live,
Some when they die.

But the end illuminates
Where we stand, now.
The dealing of death
Spurs us to our coloured vows.

In this commonality we
Dance with daring dreams,
Deny the dreadful and dreary.
Dislocate the dimensions
Of dead end divisions.

And we live to pursue a vision,
Seven billion in collision -
Yet this colour of difference remains;
Beauty in fruition.

Expression for Good

There was a time when you had the might to write.

It was a confused explosion seated on the pinnacle of emotion.

That time was rich; and upon every mental itch,

There was a coloured projection of what one's existence meant.

There was a blood flow that kept the words alight,

Shot from an archers bow, through high and low -

It gave a certain sight.

That epoch of lockless love burning on high,

Incinerating the pages that I -

Wrote of in a time of war -

Saw a sweet symphony die.

And in its red elements, a precise eloquence of self elegance, echoes in eternity.

All our written words will forever serve the nerve of their birth:

Choose Love, or Fear as the reality to steer.

War No More

Whether we are hurt or have hurt another,
the same red blood sheds despite of skin colour.
Though we are divided by race and country,
everyone deserves the chance to be free.

When we work together, we synergize our thoughts
rather than dropping bombs and releasing gun shots.
We all share this one same earth;
it has always been so since the time of our birth.

Stop Procrastinating!

"A single second alone can determine if one lives or die. How many of those 86,400 seconds in one day that you have used to work towards objectifying your goal? So, if you want to change your life, you have to change it NOW! Stop wasting time!" - Master Genevieve Tan Shu Thung

Climb the Mountains of Determination

Everything in this world has a place,
We all live by God's good grace,
But He will only help all those,
who help themselves with will they chose.

With all the dreams and hope out there,
Anything can be achieved as long as thou dare,
to climb the mountains of determination,
to work yourself to be a sensation.

Letting Go...

NOTE: This is a poem suitable to comfort one over the death of a loved one.

Life may be fleeting,

Yet it is wonderfully interesting.

One cannot escape from the body that is impermanent,

No matter where and how we may turn.

Filled with pain and laughter,

Loomed with mystery and wonder,

One asks "Oh why must the body perish?"

All the more life, one must cherish...

So give them your blessings you must,

For you know that the body is just dust.

To the light they must go,

Cry for them not for they shall know...

However much you grieve,

You will still need to live.

You have so much love to give,

To others who still need you to continue their lives with.

So do cheer up my friend,

For you both shall meet again.

And you will realise then

There really is no such thing as the end.

Papa, The Pillar of My Life

You were my pillar of support,

Always ensuring I stood strong as a fort,

There can be no one like thee,

For thou hath opened my eyes to see:

The world in its amazing grace

and all the problems that I might face.

This is your day to play,
So enjoy it to the fullest as you may.

When I feel like all are lost and gone,

Sometimes I even wonder why I was born.

But then I recall your face,

this sets me back into my pace,

No matter how hard the road is ahead,

Nor how much blood that I may shed,

I will work until I go mad

for you, my one and only Dad.

I never realised how important you were to me,

But recently my eyes have opened to see;

The sacrifices endured in the life you led,

So that I can be protected and be fed.

I love you, though it is hard to show,

eventually I will prove it even if it may be slow,

My guardian angel sent to me on earth,

everything started from my birth.

I owe so much to you,

I cannot repay no matter how much I do,

There is not much more that I can say

Other than to wish you a Happy Father's Day!

Poet: Dwayne Tan Lih How
