Mane's first sneeze

blinking into the sunlight..
he takes a deep breath..
and steps right out into the open..

mama and papa gives a smile..
noticing their little boy..
treading wearily on his hind legs..

his big brown eyes crossed..
watching his own golden fur move in the breeze..
his two front feet tumbling over each other..

his fall spun up some dust particles..
tickling his black button nose..
making his cheeks pink..

the sun continued to shine boldly over his pride..
one, two and three..
he caught himself gasp..

big brother told him to try harder..
four, five and six..
he finally gave a satisfied sneeze..

A big little girl

everyone around her knows..
who that big little girl is..
the one who has a needy heart...
eyes that seek attention round the clock..
a body that requires tender loving care..

she often puts herself down in front of others..
so they can nurture her soul with kind words..
but such things aren't to be forced..
that big little girl does not understand..
what she seeks is not what she is asking for..

she serves her fragile heart unknowingly..
hot and beating in the palms of her cold hands..
to those who in turn smash it up in a matter of minutes..
leaving her a pair of bloodstained hands..
red ashes seeping through her clenched fists..

the poor big little girl..
runs for shelter in the torrent rains..
blindly seeking solace and comfort in strangers' arms..
however many are reluctant to lend a listening ear..
much less the desired empathy..

sadly, quietly, and solemnly..
she treads those familiar concrete pathways..
with tired and sore eyes shut she returns home..
to the comforts of her warm bed..
the pillows torn from nights of sleepless slumber..

Angel

the sweetest thing..
an innocent smile..
a gracious human being..

a giving guardian..
the loving parent..
her cheeky child..

all geninue affection..
some purest milk..
rose red love..

some crystal tears..
a soft touch..
furry white fluff..

a pink flower..
a mesmerising song..
a smiley face..

a gorgeous woman..
a handsome man..
a golden heart..

Never felt like this before

never felt like this before..
or perhaps she did..
a hundred times previously..
a million years ago..

this was suppose to be happy..
but like the dirt that is choking up the sink..
she fell and got stuck..
time past by ever so slowly once again..

shivers are going up and down her spine..
the goosebumps appeared out of nowhere..
her eyes glared angrily..
at something.. somewhere.. out there..

this wasn't suppose to be like that..
which part of the equation had gone wrong?
total re-enactment of the circumstances..
she was reviving the moments..

she saw the smile..
she scrowled at the innocence..
she felt the fury..
she is left with the regrets..
