A Refugee's Life
Often I walk alone in empty streets In the darkest of night, scared to wits Looking for shelter all the corners With a pair of slippers in tatters... Often I walk alone in great despair On the hottest of day, hard to bear Searching for peace everywhere With a pool of tears dried by air Often I walk alone with fatigue In the heaviest of rain, so savage Seeking comfort in every place With full of pains yet no solace Still have no good answers come out Only that I know life is only a struggle! And I walk and walk on in solitude, With a heart and hope for survival Robert Ngun Sang 20 April 2011 Malaysia |
I Miss You, Mom
How are you, Mom? I miss you very much Screaming and calling your name each night, I think of you and long for your kindest hug My tears make pillows all wet and so heavy And cannot cease falling down on my face I know you're crying in the midnight like me And wonder if you can sleep or eat as well I know you can't stop missing me even a day I know you cannot help worrying about me And in your head is all fond memories of me Walking all the way alone, life is so isolated I am exhausted, and it's so hard to take breath Lying on bed in fear, so afraid even to sleep I have to run and I have to crawl for safety But still no refuge I can find in all the world Without you, my life is lost to proceed over Nobody takes care of me much as you do Nobody loves me much as you always do No place is safe, no place is sweet like home There's no peace, no safety and no happiness Apart from you, there is nothing better at all Your love is the sweetest, and the greatest Under your bosom is the warmest and safest And no other voice is more tender than yours Oh, Mom! I love you and miss you so much...
