CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ROMANTIC FRIENDS

We are all not poets, and I would say, the following are the poetry of emotions of average people like you and me. I add in this page, for visitors to get a glimpse into feeling that may have not crystallised for others, but most likely for the writers. That is the beauty of poetry, everyone's perception and interpretation is likely to be different from the true meaning to the writers. Poetry is also a form of catharsis and thus very therapeutic to return peace and calm to a person. It may also be a form of undoing, whereby after expressing the poetic lyric, the person is free from the compulsion of making the irrational intention real. Thus relax and go thro' the experience........if you think you can't take it.......just press the backbutton.

You're Ever so Sweet

You're ever so sweet to me,
Which couldn't be bought with money,
Cos' your love to me aplenty,
Without trace of apathy or sympathy,
Except feeling of love in symphony.

So far as I can feel and see,
Your inner self is a calm sea,
Without waves but tranquillity,
Which I could lay upon with piety,
While our eyes meet with mutual sincerity,
Feeling the sweetness of infinite unity,
Which wouldn't fade till eternity.

You're so very sweet to me,
Which others think zany,
But to me you are gaiety,
Which evokes our desire to ecstasy,
But are we both ready?
Or just a fallacy devoid of reality
Which only remains as a mere fantasy.

Love's Philosophy

I
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean,
The wind of Heaven mix forever,
With a sweet emotions,
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by law divine,
In one spirit meet and mingle,
Why not I with thine?-

II
See the mountains kiss high Heaven,
And the waves clasp one another,
No sister-flower would be forgiven,
If it disdained its brother,
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea,
What is all this sweet work worth,
If thou kiss not me?

The Passionate Shepherd to His Love

Come live with me and be my Love,
And we will all the pleasures prove,
That hills and valleys,dale and field,
And all the craggy mountains yield.

There will we sit upon the rocks,
And see the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers,to whose falls,
Melodious bidrs sing madrigals.

There will I made you beds of roses,
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle,
Embroidered with leaves of myrtle.

A gown made of the finest wool,
Which from our pretty lambs we pull,
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold.

A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs,
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me and be my love.

The shepherd swains shall dance and sing,
For thy delight each May-morning,
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my Love.

From: Sat.

'TIS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

Each Day I Know More Of You,
Makes Me Yearn To Be Closer To You,
Concentrating On My Task I Still Think Of You,
As If You Had Taken A Part Of Me With You.

If I Let My Self Go To You,
Risking What I Have Just For You,
Sacrificing My Pride, Surrendering It To You,
Will I Still Be Precious And Attractive To You?.

In This World, In This Presence,
Let Us Savour Our Love And Romance,
Lets Not Hope For More Permanence,
For It Only Serve To Torment.

In This World At This Very Time,
I Cherish Your Love, I Give You Mine,
Though You Will Never Be Truly Mine,
'Tis Feeling For You Oh So Divine.

In This World At This Very Time,
I Do Not Dream Of Another, Of Different Time,
Even though I Can't Claim You As Truly Mine,
'Tis Feeling So Real It Pulsates With Time.

SWEET ILLUSION

This Love Grows On Knowing You,
Strength And Vulnerability Unique To You,
Your Kindness And Humour Uplifted My Blues,
Never Had I Known A Soul As Wonderful As You.

This Sweetness I Feel Inside,
Every Little Thing You Say, Sounds So Right,
Tender Moments We Share, Never A Fight,
Thought Of Losing You Fills My Heart With Fright.

I Had Live And Love, Everything Seemed Alright,
You Came To Me Lifted Me To New Height,
Your Presence My Love Almost Makes Me Forget,
Between Us,... There Is A Person With Rights.

Whispering Doubts From Nowhere,
In The Wake Of Passion And Desire,
Heart Rebels, Mind Conspire,
Confronting The Emotions That Transpire.

Oh 'Tis Dream Will Last Till Awaken,
Though Vivid Easily Shaken,
Facing It I Am Heartbroken,
Craving For Something, That Will Never Happen

LOVE FROM A DISTANCE

In This Life With You I Don't Expect Much,
Little Things That Come My Way Are Great Enough,
Eventhough In Real Life You Are Not My Spouse,
My Love For You Forever Strong And Tough.

Loving You Dearly, From Far A Distance,
Missing Your Presence At Every Instance,
People Say I Am Torturing My Own Existence,
Wouldn't It Be Better If I Show Resistance?.

Am I Being Weak And Sacrificing My Pride,
Confessing My Love For You, And Not To Hide,
If I Am Truly Your Love, The Person To Confide,
I Then Be Honored More Then The One By Your Side.

The Irony Of Love And Facts Of Life,
Yearning For Another When With Partner In Life,
It Is Bearable, Knowing You Are Well In Life,
Distressed And Tormented When You Are Otherwise.

Rindu Si Pungguk

Dalam Ketenangan Malam
Jiwa Ku Gelora Menahan Rindu
Ku Perhatikan Bulan, Ku Kirakan Bintang
Hinggakan Pungguk Turut Membisu
Mendengarkan Rintihan, Hatiku Nan Pilu

Deru Bayu Membelai Pipi Ku
Sinaran Bulan Membawa Harapan
Mengiringi Kedatangan Belahan Jiwa Ku
Sekian Lama Ku Rindukan Dakapan Mu
Jiwa Ku Merintih Inginkan Kehangatan Mu
Mengobati Dendam Asmara Berahi Ku

Dalam Kesibukan Hari-hari Ku
Siang Malam Berganti Tampa Bisikan Mu
Saat-saat Bersama Oh Sekejap Tak Menentu
Seolah Daun-daunan Di Tiup Angin Yang Lalu
Ku Kegelisahan, Duduk Ku Tak Menentu

Ku Nantikan Kamu, Ceria Dan Mengusik
Menambat Hatiku, Terbangkit Tampa Serik
Hingga Ku Mampu Nyayikan Lagu Nan Ashyik
Si Pungguk Mendengar Seolah Tertarik
Mengiringi Nada Cinta Kita Nan Gemersik

Si Pungguk '98

~~~~~~~JANJI~~~~~~~~

O Harapan.......Itu Lah Visi
Izinkan Ia Menjadi Kenyataan
Mimpi Yang Menggoda
Menyelubungi Jiwa Dan Raga Ku

Nyata Dalam Minda Ku
Sinaran Kebahagian
Satu Kerdipan Janji
Dan Tarikan Nafas Dalam Diriku
Menanamkan Inspirasi Dan Fokus
KENIKMATAN ditengah KEPEDIHAN
Membara Di Dalam

MENGHANCURKAN Keraguan
MENAKLUKKI Pemikiran
BERTARUNG Dan MENAKLUKKI, Tolongi Aku
Tetap MENGHUNI Diriku

Menggodakan Aku Dengan Kelembutan
Nada Nan Mesra Di Telingaku
Mengigatkan Setiap Detik
Kerna Kita Kerap TERPISAH

akan tetapi, dapatkah kau merasakannya Yang?
aku melakukannya lagi.....
EGO mengkaburi pemandangan
dan Kepentingan diri diutamakan

Diam dalam Kegelisahan
Tenang dalam Keraguan
Mata ku yang penat CELIK semula

TERIMA KASIH-KU OH TAK TERHINGGA!!
