:- if ever lasting love exists

Holding you tight

by melvin (the persona)

(picture taken on a random day of '06 singapore - pulau ubin)

Hold me tight, under the sweet kisses of the sunset

let God's reds and oranges hues soothe your eyes

with blues and purples of seduction raging our fieries

like this is all a dream.

Hold me tight, under the tender kisses of the sunset

peck-a-gentle of your affections into my heart

kiss me while i glee with sweetness

walk my silk-clad shirt off my rugged shoulders.

Hold me tight, under the passionate kisses of the sunset

hear me chuckle as I whisper words of the untold

scent me profoundly like you have never did before

taste me passionately as you do the same-

staring deep into my eyes.

Hold me tight, under the adoring kisses of the sunset

walk me down to the crescent reflective bay

I don't mind; with you it could be anywhere

where it is only you and I

making this dream a come-true.

Hold me tight, as the moon ushers its way

echo my name, scream for me

and let me hear you at every corners of my world

light me up like all those years ago.

Hold me tight, while the day is coming to its end

I whisper to you as you close your eyes

I give you my last living kiss as you bid me goodbye

silently.

This poem was composed to align sunset beauty with lasting love, a love nearing its end when the night ushers its way in, on June 18th, 2008.

:- if only it comes in a pair

Songbirds

by melvin (the persona)

(picture taken in dec '05 europe - west germany trip)

Flakes of snow glisten

as the sun shines down

the bitter wind blows cold

and the song birds frown

winter is here

and summer is gone

the song birds remain silent

all winter long

walking down alone

with only the winds howling through my bone

like the song birds, with companion till death parts

all winter long

summer warmth shall they wait

so they can sing lovely songs

they wait for summer

all winter long

Alone, I waited for summer that long

with only lovely songs echoing along

my footprints remain a pair

only to grieve with great despair

finally summer is here

and the birds sing their songs

they have waited for summer

all winter long

never will i hear the love songs

as i cease from this heartless abyss

leaving me in the cold with no wrongs

and no love begins from anybody's axis

This poem was composed, by making use of the winter imageries and its associate links of the mythical songbirds, to accentuate the persona's loneliness, on April 3rd, 2008.

:- bringing love to a next level

The Lust
by Melvin (the persona)

Bodies Entwined
Hearts Resounding
the shivers beads of perspiration
coming and going

Those inhibited places
opening up:
slowly, gently and...

delicately
losing inhibitions
new sensations

A sensual touch here
and a seductive touch there
smokeless flames!
a miracle invisible
between "the two of us"...

Yet to You and Me
engulfed in passion...
lustful love or lovable lust?

Let love be there
and lust be too...

A heavenly feeling
for me and you
feel yourself and feel me too

Erotic fantasies unfold...
Dreams come true
Me for You and Only You
just the way you wanted to...!

This poem was written in one of his "sensual" nights on Sept, 30th, 2006.

:- the coffee stain

for you, my special friend...

The Coffee Stain
by Melvin (the persona)

Your smile,
Your classy stature,
Your cherished concerns for me,
Curves appreciably like the crescent of the coffee stain.

With half of the stain,
Symbolises my most trusted love and respect for you.
The lingering half of the tinge,
Shall stained with my awe esteem of you.

Lord created us,
And decreed the eternal halo between the two of us.
Pray thou, pray thee
For the joyous celebration of our astounding unision.

I yield for your presence day by day.
With much love and eagerness, come what may,
Gracing each day with hopeful pray,
Like the coffee stain; shalt our friendship stay.

The uncountable angles of the brunette arc,
Our uncountable experiences it shall mark.
Rejoicing our friendship with the common heart of an obdurate stain,
Coming forth for the quest in merging as one.

This poem was composed 3 years ago, when he has gained inspirations after seeing his notebook pages being stained by a Starbucks coffee mug.
