Can you see the snowy hills?

The poem #02 (1990 – 1991)

Can you see the snowy hills?

Can you see the snowy hills,
and the beauty of the flowery field?
Can you see the silvery stream,
and the virgin forest that is evergreen?

See the children having fun,
and the innocence looks upon their blissful faces.
Yes you can, but no I can’t.

Can you hear the hissing geese,
and the whispering of the gentle breeze?
Can you hear the buzzing bees,
and songs of nightingales upon the rustling trees?

Hear the children having fun,
and the laughter with their childhood friends.
Yes you can, but no I can’t.

The story behind this poem
If I am not mistaken, this was my second poem after “Just for you.” Even now I still don’t understand why youngsters love to blast their music so loudly. What is so cool about damaging your hearing? Please take good care of yourself. Stop spending so much time surfing the Internet. Stop watching so much useless TV programmes.  Get a life! Write a poem!

Just for you

The poem #01 (1990 – 1991)

Just for you

Life is full of Joys and Pains,
In every heart a dream remains,
Should sad memories ever haunt your mind,
Always remember I'm by your side.

Believe in yourself, have Faith in God,
Over the mountains against all odds,
Every sunrise is a bright new day,
Yesterday's tears will never stay.

The story behind this poem
This is my first attempt at poetry. It is written for a very special girl. I was very crazy about her during my pre-university days. She was like a goddess. What was I thinking? Just madly in love with her I guess. Crazy young man back then.
