Danke!

All that I want to say -
you may not want to hear...
All that I couldn't say -
now I might, you fear!

When will I get to say it?
If not now, then when?
I doubt there'll be any chance
when you've become old men.

There's such restriction
on even free expression
of gratitude, appreciation,
Openness has died of suffocation!

I will honour you, and not
appreciate you as you insist,
just let me say this -
you've been great,
I couldn't have asked for more!
Your presence did hugely assist!
Staying on has been tough to resist!

Thank you! and you! and you!!

How many marks do I get for this?

ok - I updated my 'about me'!
wonder if 'u' will ever notice :)

Death makes me realise
life is precarious,
a leaking air-con -
even more so!

Birth makes me realise
life multiplies,
cockroaches -
even more so!

My job makes me realise
life is stagnant,
my verses -
even more so! :(

Leave me alone,
like you left me alone.
Why the difference?
Now???
I am still the same.

H B D T Y!

'Happy Birthday'
in French,
Japanese,
English,
Chinese...
all have the same tune
and same the happiness :-)

Good or bad, why be sad!

I really wonder
which trap I've fallen into:
calling the unknown 'bad'?
or calling the unknown 'good'?
Oh boy! Wish the future,
predict, I could!
Pessimism and optimism
fight it out daily...
Everyone's future
is absolutely unknown,
why trap myself more
with false self-promises
and pretences that I know
what's coming my way...
I'll be free when I get ready
to welcome the unknown..
