Tormented…

By Lawrence Tan

2003

 

 

Like a wildfire across the forest

Like a hurricane across the land

I was swept under…

 

Like a tornado across the plain

Like a torrential monsoon rain

I was taken over…

 

Helplessly stricken

Long hair

Dark eyes

Intercepting all my thoughts

I am loosing control…

 

What do I have to say?

When is the right time?

Where do we go from here?

Why, we are running out of time?

 

The fleeting smiles

The teasing words

The warm embraces

Oh! They are all fake!

 

Like a ravaging fever

Like a sustained chest pain

My soul is tormented…

 

Like a cold winter night

Like in a darkest sky

My heart freezes over…

 

Grey sky

Blue heart

My pain

Your pleasure…
