life is beautiful

Comprehending Ears:

Life is beautiful - Spongebob Squarepants (DBS Advertisement)

In the morning..
I feel the breeze..
The sun washes over me..
The sound of water..
The crashing sea..
Is it only me?
That feels alive..
It's all ahead on me..
Cause it feels so right..
Just open your eyes and see that..

Life is beautiful..
It's beautiful to me..
Life is beautiful..
It's beautiful to me..

Life can take you anywhere..
You don't know where it leads you..
But you know you're not alone..
Just open your eyes and see that..

Life is beautiful..
It's beautiful to me..
Life is beautiful..
It's beautiful to me..

Bliss

peaceful tranquility..
sleeping under some royal patterned duvet..
with white bed covers and fluffy feathered pillows..
the evening sun setting on her face..

cute little smiling babies..
dimples at each cheek..
gurgling and chuckling at her..
reaching their little fingers out to stroke her naked arm..

awaking in the morning..
without the alarm going off..
realizing that time had allowed her to sneak a couple more winks..
four more hours to be exact..

coconut trees swaying in a dance with the winds..
the sea of green and blue..
the waves crashing onto the golden sand..
the soothing tune by Wayne Wonder playing in the background..

a teacher putting all her heart into her work..
her students mugging day and night before the exams..
results day showed that their combined efforts paid off..
the joy shared between them amidst hugs..

the feeling of being able to pen each day..
the sense of accomplishment attained from meeting goals..
the touch of love and concern from someone else..
the blessed feeling of being alive.. and loving every minute of it..

The bus ride

the landscape rushing by..
of cities and towns..
like "Belle" in Beauty and the Beast..
the lambs and sheeps trot by..

a cathedral came into sight..
a magnificent structure indeed..
leaving all beings in awe..
the archbishop standing on the grand steps..

purest of white..
cold icy snow..
how her eyes were drawn to it by a magnetic field so strong..
bringing tears to the windows of her soul..

hundreds of figurines craved from stone..
a dragon's head..
tiny men crawled all over its open mouth..
seeming to sharpening its fangs..

rows and rows of shophouses..
old yet colourful..
quiet yet flamboyant..
an ancient bike shop burrowed in its peeled walls..

millions of cracks on the multi-storey carparks..
a yellow horizon painted across the entrance..
of an ancient shopping complex..
down by the streets of old chinatown..

rich mansions of three floors..
a couple of branded vehicles with their reflective silver..
flowers of the brightest fuchsia..
gates of the deepest ebony..

the sky painted in its azure blue..
made way to rats scurrying outside an italian restaurant..
a sleepy grey pours over the tarred streets..
shadows creeping behind the alleys..

the familiar path she treads on ever so often..
framed by shrubs of green and red..
the lamps burst out in unison..
she disappears into the darkening night-sky..

bringing on the heartbreak

Comprehending Ears:

1. Bringing on the heartbreak - Mariah Carey

Gypsy, sitting looking pretty..
A broken rose and laughing eyes..
You're a mystery..
Always running wild..
Like a child without a home..
You're always searching..
Searching for a feeling..
But it's easy come and easy go..

Oh..
I'm sorry but it's true..
You're bringing on the heartache..
Taking all the best of me..
Oh, can't you see?
You got the best of me..
Oh, can't you see?

You're bringing on the heartbreak..
Bringing on the heartache..
You're bringing on the heartache..
Bringing on the heartache..
Can't you see?
Oh..

You're such a secret..
Misty eyed and shady..
Baby, how you hold the key..
Oh, you're like a candle..
Your flame slowly fading..
Burning out and burning me..
Can't you see?
Just trying to say to you..


2. By your side - Sade

When you're on the outside, baby..
And you can't get in..
I will show you you're so much better than you know..
When you're lost and you're alone and you can't get back again..
I will find you darling, and i will bring you home..

And if you want to cry..
I am here to dry your eyes..
and in no time..
you'll be fine..

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that..
You think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that..
I'll tell you you're right when you want..
And if only you could see into me..

Joe

the name i used to hold dear to my heart..
the name i still hug tightly to my broken spirit..
the smell i breathe whenever the thought of you comes to my mind..

your face i dream of so frequently..
your lips i've been kissing in the past..
your hands i held onto when we walked the busy streets..

it's been a few months since we last spoke..
it's been terribly hard for me especially in the nights..
it's been the one thing in my head when i drift off to sleep..

you're the one who made the decision..
you're the one who made me cry..
you're the one who made me angry oh so much at the same time..

i want to leave..
i want to stop waiting for you or give you the time you need..
i want to live my life without you..

the promises you made to me were broken..
the words you said were untrue..
the love we shared was forgotten..

but you're the man i want for the rest of my life..
the man i want my children to call "father"..
the man i will always love with all my heart..

Enstrangement

strangled by his emotions..
he finally told her that he loved her..
even way before he met her..

puzzlement overcame her pretty face..
her smile faded away..
speechless for words, she looked away..

the perfect match in his life..
the soul of his beautiful body..
the glow on his handsome face..

"You have nothing to say?" he asked with concern.
"... i don't know." came the hushed but clearly distant reply.
he was left standing alone with a silver band in his sweaty palm.

the silver band had her name engraved on it..
her name penned and carved in royal cursive..
but she never will know that..

he eventually made it home..
after she bade him goodbye..
and a kiss on his sad cheek..

staring into the rectangular glass with clenched jaws..
he showed signs of breaking out in tears..
but his cellular phone rang in time..

it was her on the other line..
her muffled yet distinctive voice..
the sweet serenading voice that kept him going all along..

she waited for him to speak..
but it never came..
for the longest time came awkward silence..

"i love you." he gasped, letting out a sob.
silence was his reply.
a tear flowed down her already tear-stained cheek.

the telephone call never ended that day..
for she never gave him an answer..
and he never gave her up..

the story seemed so long ago..
when it was not too long before today..
estrangement in something so perfect..

he is to meet her one day..
praying with all his heart for a favourable reply..
clutching that band he wants around her finger to his heart..

Pleasure

a little after 5 at dawn..
she couldn't get to sleep..
two days of pleasure had left her high with endless euphoria..

she seemed esoteric that night..
no one could comprehend..
only she knew what was going on in her dark mind..

the taste of his sweat against her lips..
the sensational stare focused on her body..
her moves ever-changing..
hot.. cold.. hot.. cold.. hot..

she gently kissed her lovingly on her naked back..
another placing her hands on her hips..
another straightening up from below her..

eyes wide open now..
she sees the events that happened once again..
pursing at her recollection..

her fingers caressed the water surface..
her bare legs swaying to and fro in the shimmering blue..
sending bubbles which disappear upon contact with her warmth..
her perfect reflection smiled up at her..
