starry night

hey guys...
it's my 1st post... sorry rooney and zi yun to have waited this long for a contribution... well, just to keep things going... can't think of anything to write so i guess a poem will do the job...
ahaha.. i'm not that good in it but i do enjoy poetry.. when's ur turn to 'poem blogging' zi yun? just asking..=)

Weary eyed I took a stroll
Though was late, but work has taken its toll
I needed a break and to the field I went
In search for the stars that leads me to neverland
I cried to the stars littering the skies at night
I wished I could pause awhile and enjoy the sight
But tonight the sky is veiled by jealous clouds
I stood and stared with increasing doubts
Of late the sky has been crying
And the clouds above have veiled your feelings
Gone when I could see your lovely jewels
Where each and everyone shone brightly as pearls
Your beauty is one that never lies
I’ve enjoyed watching you beyond the distant skies

Where have you been my beloved star?
You’ve been my guide near and afar
With you’ve been veiled I’ve lost my way
I’ve been circling wildly lost for days
Each night I’ve waited with little thought
What agony to me this wait has brought

And as though you have heard my cries
I caught a glimmer of you up high
Your light was faint but it persevered
Like how you taught me when everything went weird
I stood there entranced by your beauty
The clouds cleared and your sight is heavenly

Little by little you light the heavens
Your beauty has always captured my imaginations
You fill my hearts with warmth and wonder
For your presence with me is forever
Wherever I am you’ve always been my guide above earth
Back to a place where I’m warm with love
Your magic never fades throughout the years
Your light shall be my guide through all my fears
And when I’ve lost hope like I always do
Your tiny beacon of light still shines brightly through

I’ve stood and stared long enough a time
To have thought of this poem as a nursery rhyme
Your presence above has been a gift from God
It’s you the stars in loneliness I sought
You make me realize that even in the darkest of night
Your guidance will lead me through with my burdens light

Here now I walk into a home
Knowing there’s you’re always there when I’m alone
O' stars I shall seek you dearly
For you will forever be in my heart eternally

ooo... not bad eh. (you really like stars eh? haha.)

but a bit lengthy if u ask me. my conc span very short only. =P

but still the rhyming is not bad.

PS: eh, why ask me only to "poem blogging" ah? haha. most of mine are personal ones... and the non-personal ones need inspiration. which i lack of currently. blek. we shall see lah. :)
