Ghazel

True love's first kiss, I thought I had it all
But now a mess, I thought I had it all

Our path seemed clear, together without doubt
Yet now amiss, I thought I had it all

You said that we would never part again
All lies from the beginning, had it all?

You're right, I'm no good for you anymore
Our love was fake and empty, had it all?

And you're no angel to me either way
now gone and lost without trace, had it all?

So now I say goodbye, farewell to you
To say the truth we never had it all

Villanelle

Everything was lost, everything around
All is stripped away, stripped bare to the bone
Everything was lost, so now I have found

All the riches, all the gold that I was crowned
All the power, All the glory I own
Everything was lost, everything around

I stand here silent humble on the ground
though losing everything, the light still shone
Everything was lost, so now I have found

I used to be mourning like a lost hound
or like a person fallen from the throne
Everything was lost, everything around

But God was there, to astound, to unbound
follow his footsteps through the way he's shown
Everything was lost, so now I have found

and now I realize that I am sound
Focus on my mind and body to hone
Everything was lost, everything around
Everything was lost, so now I have found

Concrete Poem

                        a sprout                                   comes          
                   out and gives                       the world a shout.
            Still small and without               route yet brave and stout.    
           Still meek and weak but         passionate to seek. Unique
                and mystique as it seems to speak. With the ground
                      around keeping safe and sound. Newfound
                                  sound of life, simple yet
                                           profound
                                             I smile
                                             a wide
                                             smile
                                            looking
                                              for a
                                              while
        At the new isle; a pile of new lifestyle. It breaks through
           the mold although no one told. Gone with the stone
               cold old and now remold. Silent, I stand and
                look around the land and admire the grass
                                   land, oh so grand.

Elegy to summer vacation

As time goes by my smile turns into frown
Just like how the green grass turns into brown
The leaves on trees start falling to the ground
and my heart feels as if it were unsound

Goodbye to times we ran around to play
Hello to school and studying all day
Goodbye to things that were so loving
Hello to work and all the suffering

To me you were the greatest gift of all
You have helped me enjoy life, after all
The moments of summer are rich as gold
the joyous moments that never get old

But as the summer slowly comes to end
I know in my heart this is not the end
However long another year may seem
There is another summer we can dream
