Solar
Your upside
Your windfall
Is a star-spangled
Conception
Flicker more
Sparkle forever
You defeat
My darkness
Vanishing my
Sightlessness

Pinnacle
Reaching—
The heights of you
Touching—
Your beautiful soul
Asking—
For more
I was born
To love you
And to love you
Even more

Farewell To Skiathos
Farewell to Skiathos
maybe forever
maybe forever
ehe ghia!
Here in the steerage
Skiathos receding
into the mists
of fancy and time
Arms of the village
opening gently
beckoning brightly
bidding goodbye
Maybe forever
there on the billow
hovering brightly
scattering fame.
Now we are weaving
paths from your glory
darkness descending
mountainous forms
Pass to the starboard
pass to the leeward
soon in their splendor
blazon the stars.
When the moon rises
you will awaken
put on your brooches
of aquamarine
And donning your sandborn
sandals of cowry
leaving your mountains
dance on the sea.
Skiathos, oh, lovely
here from the steerage
maybe forever
vanishing now.
God, on the waters
you have cast islands
gifted with shadows
freshets and trees-
Maybe, oh, maybe
this is the fairest
Skiathos, oh, lovely
vanishing now
Maybe forever
farewell to Skiathos
maybe forever
vanishing now
Farewell to Skiathos
maybe forever
maybe forever
ehe ghia!

September Blue
Your head spins round on a monday
And the daylight's in your eyes
How you laughed and cursed tomorrow
Now he's standing by your side
You touched the stars at midnight
The whole world seem to shout 'hello'
Now your throat is tired and heavy
And only one can go
I'll be all right though i may cry
The tears that flow they always dry
It's just that i would rather be with you now
And every time i see that star
I will say a prayer for you
Now and forever september blue
I'll be all right though i may cry
The tears that flow they always dry
It's just that i would rather be with you now
And every time i see that star
I will say a prayer for you
Now and forever september blue
'cos i'll always love you
September blue

Darned
Capsized like
a vessel
You poured
your “idioms”
My ears start
to prickle
Your darned
mad manners!

Rodent
My nocturnal enemy
Sneaking when
I am not awake
You hurt my skin
With your front teeth
Gnawing and eating me
Slowly to death

The Rainbow Of Promise
In the face of the sun are great thunderbolts hurled,
And the storm-clouds have shut out its light;
But a Rainbow of Promise now shines on the world,
And the universe thrills at the sight.
Tis the flag of our Union, the red, white, and blue,
Our Star-spangled Banner-our pride;
Fair symbol of all that is noble and true,
Flung out over continents wide.
Flung out in its glory o'er land and o'er sea,
With a message from God in each star;
And a glorious promise of peace yet to be
In the fluttering folds of each bar.
A Rainbow of Promise, bright emblem of hope,
Fair flag of each cause that is just;
No longer in doubt or in darkness we grope-
In the Star-spangled Banner we trust.

Celtic Ducks
Cross over
To opposite self
Plastic, fake, false
Leaving this
Truth of me
Unnatural, artificial
End of us
Hurting me
That’s the truth

My main mission when I became Prime Minister, was to keep Singapore going and Singapore has been kept going. So, I'm happy with what I've done for Singapore.

Spangled with pink
Spangled with pink
by the blue sky's dropping
of fantasy. I'm cornered
like a starved rat
who has been keeping
his eye on the cheese
between my legs.
Spangled by pink
passionate clouds and thighs
divided by wind chimes
condescend
to usher in her love.
It comes in
then out of her
spangled with pink
on the wings of ephemera
caught forever
in the unforgiving mouth
of salacious snapdragon.

Born Again
In the star spangled darkness
There is a hint of a beginning
The night's permeating silence
Testifies a temporary lull
Before the earth delivers…
Another rebirth!

Stepping Out Queen
Put on your lipstick
Apply your makeup
Sometimes youre living in a dream
And then you go steppin out queen
Well you go to a party
And you laugh loud and hearty
You stay all night you know you make the scene
As you go steppin out queen
Its just a windfall away
Its a love keeps getting stronger every day
You gotta look up and say
Its just a windfall away
Its just a windfall away
It keeps getting stronger every day
You gotta look out and say
Its just a windfall away
Well you go through the drama
And you work in the dharma
Then you stand up and wipe your mirror clean
And then you go steppin out queen
Come in the garden and just look at the flowers
We can just sit and talk for hours and hours
Its just a windfall away
Its a love its a love keeps getting stronger every day
Ill come in your garden and then well go steppin out

Vanishing
If I could recaputre
all of the memories
and bring them to life
surely I would
hear the distant laughter
wasn't it you and me
survivng the night
you're faiding out of my sight
swiftly
you're vanishing
drifting away
your vanishing a-a-a-a-o-oo-o
I was so enraputred
no sensability
to open my eyes
I misunderstood
now you're fading faster
it's suddenly hard to see
you're talking the light
letting the shadows inside
swiftly
your vanishing
drifting awway
you're vanishing a-a-a-a-w-w-a-a-y
reaching out into the distance
searching for spirits of that past
just a trace of your existance to grasp
and if somehow I could recaputre
all of the memories
and bring them to life
lord know I would
but now you're faidng faster
getting so hard to see
you're talking the light
letting the darkness inside
swiftly
you're vanishing
drifting so far away
you're vanishing
a-a-a-a-a-a- yeah
awa-a-a-a-a--aa--a-aa-a-a-a-a-a-a-y

We are all treading the vanishing road of a song in the air, the vanishing road of the spring flowers and the winter snows, the vanishing roads of the winds and the streams, the vanishing road of beloved faces.

The Light Of The Star Embedded Deep In My Mind
its flicker
magical
it sings
a star sings
inside my mind
embedded
a star
like the flicker of the
mind
sparks of thoughts
ideas of
the mind
flickering
thinking star inside
the mind
embedded singing
star of the minds
thought sparkling
sparks kindling
the mind flickering
star thinking of the
mind inside
embedded singing
star sparkling
flicker
sparks of the mind
thoughts
so alive
open fire
fire open in the sparks
of the mind
embedded star
all mixed up
chant chant
coming back
sparks light
star singing

September Nights
Only in September night
The stars are so bright.
Only in September night
The stars are like silver nails
Ready to tell me fairy tales.
On the black silky velvet they shine,
One of them is certainly mine.
It is close to the Ursa Major,
It is my dearest encourager.
It looks at me from the dark sky,
Winks and says: Come on, fly!
It seems to be very small,
I know, it will never fall.
May be it’s a giant star,
It looks small as it’s too far.
With the huge stars around
It’s quite hard to be found.
For me it is an exception,
Of the whole universe it’s a fraction.
I am so daring and brave to crave
When time comes to shine over my grave.

Singapore
They grouped together about the chief
And each one looked at his mate,
Ashamed to think that Australian men
Should meet such bitter fate!
And black was the wrath in each hot heart
And savage oaths they swore
As they thought of how they had all been ditched
By "Impregnable" Singapore.
In her vaunted place she squatted the sea
On a base that was Maginot bred
Her startled face looked up at the skies
To the enemy planes o'erhead.
Enemy planes; while ours were - where?
That cry we had heard before
Our hearts were wrung as it rose this time
From beleaguered Singapore.
She brought forth death as her eldest child
With defeat as her second son.
Then she hung a white flag out on a staff
To show that her task was done.
And sick with rage the Australians stood,
And God! how those Anzacs swore -
Bennett and all his men alike -
At the fall of Singapore.
Whose was the fault she betrayed our troops?
Whose was the fault she failed!?
Ask it of those who lowered the flag
At once to the mast was nailed,
Tell them we'll raise it on Anzac soil
With hearts that are steeled to the core
We swear by our dead and captive sons
REVENGE FOR SINGAPORE!

Nature is forever arriving and forever departing, forever approaching, forever vanishing; but in her vanishings there seems to be ever the waving of a hand, in all her partings a promise of meetings farther along the road.

A especial star...
Above the clouds there is a star
A star that looks down on me
A star that I makes my wishes shine
A star that brightens my path
A star that enlightens my world
A star that makes me feel loved
A star that makes me dreams come true
A star that breaks my loneliness
A star that makes me smile
A star that I up to and not down on
A star that protects me from my enemies
A star that brings my bliss and hope
A star that sticks to its promises
A star that supports me take me as I am
A star that never fades away...
A star that will live with me forever and ever.....

September Star
In dedication to my little brother.
************************************* ********
As I look up at this September Star,
Twinkling like the headlights on a car,
Wondering - like many people abroad and afar,
How God sees how special we really are.
Me He protect me when school gets hard.
Teach me not to live like the pull of a random card
So I can continue to look upon this September Star.
