~The Actress, My Wife~

Good morning Crystal, start off a bright new day
Open your eyes, get up from the bed you lay
Go and wash up, I'll make breakfast for you
Start dolling up, or we're gonna be real late

The sun's shining on your face
Your dressing's full of satin and lace
Reflecting that lovely, vibrant look
The initial factor that got me hooked
On to you…

Remember your lines, rehearse yours steps
It's your biggest day to date
Freshen your make-up, tighten your corset
Portray your best and deem your fate

An actress you would have been
Busy with rehearsals and recordings
Time spent together was but a mere fraction
Of your seemingly never-ending schedule

You may be the greatest actress on stage
Wowing the audience with your skills
But in my embrace, you would always be that little kid
Caressing the essence of love, absorbing it of its all

Now you’re willing to quit the job
To experience the grand nuptials with me
Believe me, I am on top of the world
Only till now, my heart’s set free

You are my queen, my everything
Only for you, my church bells sing

Josh.

~Waterfront~

The zephyr gentles her mood
Soft wisp hair brushes her skin
Waves crawl up to her feet
Hitting her with zest yet discreet

The sand prickles as she downs vodka
The swing gets on with chilling out
The sun sets with light drawing away
And when the moon shines, the stars will stray

Night is youthful with song
And vibes in sync with her
Sea breezes carry memoirs of the past
Moments of her love in her embrace dear

Alongside the trees, she laid on the sand
Gazing at the moon, hung up high in the night skies
Memories of joy and pain, flowed through her head
Her heart misses someone, only for him she cries

Heart aches for someone across
Stretch of sea that separates
Not knowing whether to feel depressed or lost
Hoping the day they'll meet up will come fast

Moments of the night
She lay awake on the bed
Reminiscing every single word
And phrase he said

Some of them gather remorse
Most just hurt without a logical cause

Forced herself to sleep, she couldn't
Missed him so much, she shouldn't
Scenes of the past
Visualised in her mind

Silent suffering's all she embraces
She selfishly sigh…

Josh.

~A La Liqueur~

A La Liqueur
Bundle of assorted wine
Eat or drink them
With love, anything seems fine

Indulge in wine, my love
For wine makes you forget
This practical and merciless world
It frees you of burdens
And enables you to follow your heart

Indulge in wine, my darling
For it is imaginatively powerful
So strong it hurts the mind
Two drastically different people
Wanting to be together will then work out?

A long night's worth
Is but a long night's worth
But to what extend it's worth
Would be determined by the reader's love

An effort made
Is but an effort made
But to what lengths it's made
The reader is left to grade

A La Liqueur
Bottles of assorted wine
Drink, sip, gulp or gargle
With love, everything seems fine

Indulge in wine, my lady
For wine warms your body
And calms your tensing nerves
It relaxes your mind, body and soul
Rejuvenates your being up many-a-fold

Josh.

~On My Own~

The world can pull you right down
It's up to you to get back up
Not with the help of others
But with those two feet of yours

When you are living on your own
Times where you could only sit and frown
It is possible to accept a helping hand
Eventually, still you have to plod your own land

The higher you climb, the harder you fall
Pain and hate will mark, the faces of all
What would you do, at this point of time
Where lives can be lost, for the sake of a dime

To have spiritual support
Is fine but self-deceiving
For He only appears visually within
The fate of yours will still do its own bidding

The higher you rise, the harder you fall
Anxiety will mark, the faces of all
What could you do, at this point of time
Where love is discarded, for the sake of a dime

God is Fair, don't you dare,
Deny the fate of yours.
You win some you lose some,
Don't brood over loss.

I'm on my own

Josh.

~Before You Leave~

A couple more hours, before you leave the country,
My mind’s a state of confusion.
I fear this stint of life without you around,
As you had become to me an addiction.

Ever pining for you to be by my side,
I’m already dreading the fact that you’re leaving me.
Knowing it’s just for a couple of days,
But what ever man! I’m being unreasonable, can’t you see?!

You’re the first thing that pops into my head in the morning,
And the last thing that remains with me when I fall asleep.
So no matter the quarrels we had, or disputes we leave unsettled,
Just want to let you know you’re mine, and mine only for keeps.

Josh.

~You~

Questioning my life determined to spend it with you.
Rest assured my love for you is true.
My singlehood is through, the moment I met you.
Without you, I wouldn’t know what to do.

You are an artist, you paint my night sky with stars.
Lightening up my once, dark dampened skies.
You are like the rain, ever pouring raindrops down.
Showering me with love and care, you sweet little thing.

Endless poems I wrote, praises of my devotion to you.
No need to rack my brains, for the words of my works.
The words ever flowing just like my feelings for you.
You made my life meaningful, hope I made yours too.

Never wanting you to leave, it’s a selfish thought of mine.
Being around me twenty-four seven suits me just fine.
You are my everything, the amber of your love burns within me.
No need to maintain this bout of feelings, it flows naturally…

Josh.

~A Difficult Lady~

It’s been a while since I’ve stopped writing words of love,
For my heart went dead, my works I felt no one deserved.
Till that faithful day you appeared along my walk of life,
My heart filled up with warmth and love, of once I deprived.

Mere weeks we have realised our fond for each other,
Our feelings are fresh, like a newborn from its mother.
Though we are stumped with obstacles at the initial stage,
As long as we stay true, our feelings will see us through the next page.

Our characters are so similar, yet so differently portrayed,
Opposites attract?
Well, it seems to me for each other we are made.

Coming months now, my love for you had been professed,
Till now, the feelings remain, not one bit less.
Day by day, the feelings are getting stronger,
As the thread of love within my soul, gets stretched longer and longer.

Sometimes, so helpless I feel when I’m out with you,
But there’s nothing I can do, cause I’m falling deeper…
Deeper in love with you….

Josh.

~Ling~

What you see on the surface may not always seem to be,
The pain and anguish lies within, none is able to see.
I cried foul so many times in this relationship,
Only to realise in this love gamble, I ran out of chips.

Although now, we are of no relation to each other,
The things you do would still hurt me, one way or another.
I cannot blame you for hurting me, I know,
Just that I cannot control myself, I love you so.

Was it necessary for you to cut off all contacts with me?
Or is it just a way to forget me, to able to set yourself free?
Since the last day I saw you, you have never left my mind at all,
Just like the memories in me, and that picture of yours hanging on my bedroom wall.

The only way I could get into contact with you is through words,
And hopefully these will express my painful and deepest secrets.
When you told me you got back with him and had your fate sealed,
I was filled with jealousy but yet a little happy for you.

The sleepless nights I have spent clubbing or rolling in bed,
The things you did and said flooded my entire head.
I know we have a lot of differences, but I can’t control myself from saying no,
Cause now that I found you, how can I let you go?

I miss your love, your hugs, your kisses, times when we fornicate our love,
If I had another chance, I’ll make sure you will get more than what you deserve.
I miss your whispers of gentle love, that demure, loving side of yours,
I really hope you consider the love of ours, and not make decisions by force.

At first, I was surprised and taken aback by your strong will and determination,
After you left, I regretted because I realised your love was so pure and unconditioned.
Everything in life seems to be against us being together,
But if I were to leave now, my heart would be in pieces for forever.

I am grateful you still call me and we could talk for three long hours,
I’m very glad we still attract each other, like the bees to the flowers.
I was on top of the world when you said you still love me ling,
And I replied to you from the bottom of my heart, I love you too, darling.

I realise we always give out ambiguous signals to each other, thus causing confusions,
The both of us are too strong headed at things we excel at, in this case, love relations.
But I am ever willing to give out everything jus for the sake of my love life,
Cause I know if I don’t salvage this love of mine, I’ll regret for my whole life….

Josh.

~In Love with A Crazy Woman~

Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
But a day without you would make me ponder,
"How was your day? Did you miss me?"
Or will it be like; "Leave me alone and just... let me be."

My thoughts of you are running wild,
If only I could call you and cry foul.
That why are you not with me today,
Resting in my arms you charmingly lay.

It was selfish of me to do things my way,
But all I hope was your heart will stay, not stray.
A woman is hard to please, moreover a crazy one,
But only with you would I consider my love line done.

Being in a love triangle is real bloody shit,
Not to mention one with four corners how about it?
The pain of deceiving one and missing the other,
Nothing is of use, we could only silently suffer.

Almost impossible to live together with you,
I would rather stay single, spending time missing you.
When will be the day we could legally be together?
I am not pinning great hopes but better hope than never.

Oh how the days seem to fly by so fast?
When happy thoughts of you always seem to last.
I guess it's true when they say happy moments do fly by quickly,
But a pity I could only miss you, perhaps I am not that lucky.

A mere month we have realised our fond for each other,
Our love is fresh, like a newborn from its mother.
I am still unable to share my everything with you,
But only time will tell whether my love for you is true.

Not man enough to match your craziness,
Nor able to satisfy your enormous thirst.
But I believe in heart over mind,
That I love you, our hearts will bind.

I may not seem jealous when you speak of other men,
But deep down inside, the pain you cause is hard to mend.
Who is to blame? Was everything a shame??
This may sound lame, but I love you all the same......

Josh.
