The Scribbles of a Lonely Traveller

[angliholic]

Now who's sighing
and who's sobbing

If not
why is there this blue river without rains
flooding all over my veins
when summer sunshine is still here
and autumn's wailing winds are too far away to hear

Since it's impossible to split this blue pain
with a knife in half
I have no option but to let it drain off
through the tip of my pen

Hi, bro
Go find a pretty girl and
marry her
If she remains charming
forever
then you are the luckiest guy
If she turns to be
not so nice
then you'll become wise

[angliholic]

Maybe I'm penning a mountain of trash
yet it's better than emptiness
for it may be recycled and refined some day
in some way
into some gold
when I'm getting old

The day I came into this world
I was crying

When your smile was here
to humble all the May flowers
I was crying
I feared you would go with them
sooner or later

Now you've drifted far far away
I'm crying at the edge
of the world
like a cicada facing an empty stage


Perhaps one day when I stop crying
it's the day you'll be crying

Every family has a skeleton in the closet
but many a cockroach in the house

I think a skeleton usually has a family in the closet until they kick its arse out of the house and put some roach motels along the baseboards and under the sinks.

Ty, cafolini, for the most wonderful and whimsical thought in your reply.

On the rainy day
I'd like to be your umbrella on the way
back home
for you to hold dearly like a poem

So long as you feel snug
I fear not dripping like a leaking jug

At least buy a bag of contingency diapers.

Thanks, cafolini, for the most humorous and romantic reply

Birds had long aspired to be able to fly
in the immense sky
before they eventually grew wings

If I keep spreading my wings
I believe my imagination will soar high
like an eagle by and by

After weaving myself a cocoon
I did own a small cozy room of my own
yet I felt so lonely and alone

As soon as I cut it open
and crawl out as a butterfly
in the distant sky
the sun is rising above the horizon

The bikini you're wearing
is as revealing
as the birthday suit of tropical fish
colorful vibrant and girlish

Yes
you're the coolest ice cream to my eyes
in the sizzling hot summer
when life seems trapped in a drowsy slumber

But I know there is an invisible red line
that's as good as a big sum of fine
that I must not cross
I'd be nailed to a cross
if I do

If I do
I'll fall easy prey to
the most mesmerizing spider web you spun
in the long run

Fine feathers make fine birds

Yet it's not fine quills that make fine writers
but fine thinkers

[angliholic]

While you're taking a stroll
on the fallen leaves soft and yellow
along a lakeshore path in the sunset glow
I cautiously follow
for fear of stepping on your shadow
which I always cherish and hallow
