My Days



It’s been almost 10 years,
Nearly a decade ---
What did we do?
How did we spend our time?
Why did we choose our ways of path?
This way and that way ---
Differently or indifferently ---

Some people shoot for the stars,
Some acquire the boundaries,
Some for the conquest of knowledge and profession,
Some goes for the fame of the game,
Some change their destiny
For the “to-be”s and “not-to-be”s.

I admit, I have none, ---
None of those to make a whole story sleek.
My life had been a simple plain white paper,
Nothing interesting, nothing exciting, and
Nothing much fancy to boost about ---
It was nothing much but box full of memories.

Memories of my two sweet cookies,
When they opened up their fist of tiny baby paws,
When did they crawl and when did they say their first words,
Starting off their first steps while I hold their tiny hands,
The seconds were precious, more than the other
Life has never been livelier than ever;
Simple, plain, white, almost a decade of time;
I could smile to eternity, hearing them say
“I love you to the Mars and Jupiter, Mommy.”

Betrayals



I ran hard
But my feet were betraying me.
Why am I not as swift as
I wanted to be?

I smiled
But my lips were betraying me.
Why my smile is not as bright as
I wanted to be?

I cried
But my eyes were betraying me.
Why my tears are not as clear as
I wanted to be?
