English Poem 16: Reflections

New Year is around the corner,
It is not too late to put the pan on a hot burner,
To make you a delicious dinner,
I’d first attempt to reflect on our past before it gets any dimmer.

It took only a glance to fall for you,
Stumbled a few times before I said ‘Hi’ to you,
It was an amazing feeling to stand by you,
I was very happy to have a chance to travel with you.

Through rain and shine,
You were with me every time,
So much I had to gain,
Sorry to put you through this pain.

Never had to look for comfort,
Since it was always there in my sight,
Never had to quest for happiness,
Since it was readily available in 20 minutes.

Care and respect,
Only things I could find in you when I inspect,
Time can only unfold our future prospect,
Until then we should continue to introspect.

We had ups and downs,
Like mountainous towns,
Yet it was a joyous ride,
Because I had you on my side.

We have memories more than our brains can handle,
One of them was our dinner with a candle,
Wish I could put everything in a bundle,
So I could carry everywhere I go like a scandal.

Things may not have gone as we planned,
Hope you will find a gig where you don’t have to stand,
Very few times you got me bored,
But I’ll cherish every second we shared.

English Poem 15: I Still Feel Young

I still feel young,
Younger than yesterday,
Let people think what they may,
I still feel young,
Younger than yesterday.

Might I have grown an inch,
Might I have gained some wisdom,
Might I have made more mistakes,
Might I have forced a change,
Might I have suffered a blow,
Might I have yet to experience the life,
Might such incidents occur again.

This time though,
The difference is within,
Within is the feeling I strongly sense,
Yes, that is the feeling of growing younger,
Younger than ever before.
