In the past, I've posted my poems on my blog "Daybreak and the Universe". It was more for myself than anyone, but after a while, I began to wonder if I should showcase more of my works (as nerve-racking as it is!). The truth is, I dabble in many art forms (like poetry, design, and drawing) so I felt like my text-heavy wordpress blog wasn't the best to display all my pictures at one go. I thus decided to start a wixsite which is more centered around the visuals I did (like a digital portfolio)!
Anyway, this post shows a snippet of some poems I've put on my blog previously. Happy reading!

I wrote this around July:
The Cheese of Time
Some truths stretch
like melted-soft mozzarella
like you and me
like pushing and pulling
rewi-i-inded. We were in love
and not in love.
Twelve years after us,
your cream cheese bagel glows brightly
in your downtown café and bakery
bright and unfamiliar. You are happily married
and I am now thirty.
Nothing settles quite right on my tongue,
you looking as I lick cheese
me looking into your eyes
us looking at our diverged paths.
Long after I try
your perfect blue cheese pastry,
the old acquired taste tingles on my lips
I remember now —
young love was brie-sweet.

This is one poem I revised last year:
(Sacrilege!)
Insidious promises?
cravings: caved in.
I inch
closer to the inferno
shoeless, sockless, defenceless,
curious
desire: deliri—
I want
wantwantwant
to
hold the colour of fire,
freeze
the furiousferventincessant
-ly fading fumes.
