Like the bottomward that downpour’d.

<p>Remember I the times sore,<br />
Stricken; afflicted and wretched.<br />
Besetment assail’d from above,<br />
Like the bottomward that downpour’d. </p>
<p>There sat I at sixes and sevens,<br />
Dazed at what just befell.<br />
For at the bridge knew not I,<br />
What wrong I did nor neither fate might.</p>
<p>How did such beauty and perfection cease?<br />
Why my imaginary cloud shapes no longer pleased?<br />
For the bright blessed day of just 5 minutes,<br />
Now overcast acerbity.</p>
<p>Though things may sometimes I never know,<br />
Left unsolved it may best be so.<br />
Memories more precious for there in Heart stays,<br />
But storms will eventually dissipate.</p>
<p>With time I sat the more I knew,<br />
Darkest clouds too come and go.<br />
Silver linings are there always,<br />
When storms pass there they glow. </p>

<p>In colors more varied than rainbows exhibit,<br />
Petals from assortment of flowers they carry.<br />
Like the beauty from which these chromatics due,<br />
Such so is her liking for such colors; such hues.</p>
<p>For she be no favorite of particular bloom,<br />
That all flowers be equal pleasing; receiving too.<br />
I know not her but seems to me she,<br />
In love with flowers than those buzzing around her constantly.</p>
<p>Not to say diddly of her nor just porcelain to view,<br />
Nay don’t get me wrong, you deserve many festoons.<br />
For flowers they belong only to an elegant minority,<br />
And truth be, that you amongst the very few.</p>
<p>I adore the way your companion puts it,<br />
That you be personified beast’s beau.<br />
For most of us categorized as such,<br />
And fittingly that Thee fits beauty’s shoe.</p>

<p>Purple prose the butterfly,<br />
On flower top did it’s beauty shine.<br />
Slender it’s body yet big,<br />
Its wings of colors in social settings.</p>
<p>So attractive yet exclusive it be,<br />
That all attention should flock around Thee.<br />
For ornate and ever so pretty,<br />
In mind though ago last I long time meet.</p>
<p>Purple in all ancient royalty,<br />
My princess found I in Thee.<br />
That all my world like the flower I be,<br />
Should await your florid setting upon me.</p>
<p>Same feeling in abdomen I get,<br />
Butterflies when you my eyes set.<br />
For it be my heart beats uncontrollably,<br />
When purple prose the butterfly I see.</p>

<p>Rainbows, the most spectacular show of lights on Earth.<br />
Colors which make happy even the darkest of Hades.<br />
Called so due to dispersed spectrum through mist,<br />
Miracle of Nature indeed it is.</p>
<p>Seven colors some deem display of refraction properties.<br />
Simply I ascribe each to every day of week,<br />
That thoughts of you equally as pleasing sweet;<br />
So such candied beauty is actually reflected on Thy cheeks.</p>
<p>What makes it all amazing, the bow of the rain,<br />
Bending it’s colorations down for Thee.<br />
Few fathom the top of bow is where ye sun is peaked,<br />
The very place Thou be when Thy eyes chance upon should it.</p>
<p>More so fewer knows the sun be behind when Rainbows are seen;<br />
The warm rays of console backing you though unseen.<br />
When Thou should thinkst all is gloom and so biting,<br />
Turn and look, there may your forlorn beam be.</p>
<p>I have heard from a dear friend this,<br />
“That everyone through storms go before a Rainbow achieved.”<br />
Think of it this, even Noah’s storm for forty days and nights did;<br />
Take heart Dearie, your Rainbow is on due way soon you’ll see.</p>

<p>Seemingly beyond consolation you lay,<br />
In your tears hidden by the feigning smile you display.<br />
But bystanders they truly see in Thy angelic grace,<br />
That your rainbow will come soon; hold on to your faith.</p>
<p>Thou art remain strong I pray,<br />
The disconsolate Angel in all so beauty’s allure.<br />
If so really Thou’s soul did die when he went away,<br />
How so the world stays in awe when my eyes set on your face?</p>
<p>For not all will appreciate an Angel image,<br />
Just like an unbeliever to a miracle’s envisage.<br />
Wrong he did to you; you so unfairly perceived,<br />
However wrong then you, because he be the one on losing’s receive.</p>
<p>Sometimes Love not work our way,<br />
It’s been so since man can relate.<br />
Not at all smooth our experiences vouch this journey,<br />
But after each means we are closer to our fairy dreamings.</p>
<p>With every heart-felt pain we take away,<br />
Lessons learned, all of which valuable to assist.<br />
After storms, we then know better what future brings,<br />
And what to avoid when rainbow’s gold at end we see.</p>

<h3 class="post-title">“Acronym” by Esmond Ng 25/03/2005 © copyright</h3>
<p>Whilst stars shon’d dimly in cloud cover’d sky,<br />
the mood not dampen’d; all is still bright.<br />
It’s really no wonder why, if by me thou would realize,<br />
The brightest of them all would on my right.<br />
Lays’t down admiring the beauty from nature’s eye,<br />
if nature be me, then thou be in my sight.<br />
Lovely would be no other word,<br />
then she who grac’d my night.</p>
<p>Yonder but yet next to thee, so seems close though far it now be;<br />
why this feeling that dawns on me?<br />
Of these questions in which minds’t uncontroll’d wander,<br />
omega, it still ends with thee.<br />
Uphoria and joy that follow it,<br />
something a feeling excites me which.</p>
<p>Bare footed on  a chill’d beach night,<br />
warm the sand stays though sun has slipp’d over the horizon line.<br />
Emphasize can’t I more describe,<br />
the warmth that comes with thou’s sunny eyes.</p>
<p>My O my, where seen I those cherry lips and fair skin light;<br />
that heaven be so bias’d put all in one?<br />
Years may pass, Kings abdicat’d,<br />
yet to my heart’s Queen she is perfect’d.</p>
<p>Varies thee may, with wonders of powder,<br />
but in fact thou’s beauty, is the wonder creator.<br />
All fail not see, if beauty is skin deep,<br />
deeper than that no worries, thou has aplenty.<br />
Like the serene of night sea tranquility,<br />
the feeling with thee it gives to me.<br />
Embellish’d with jewels of laughter and cheer<br />
never not will I ever dry nor withereth.<br />
New brings old away, a beginning which may bloom;<br />
if given both a little way soon.<br />
Time may wash old wounds offshore,<br />
but time should blows’t the direction of ahead.<br />
If sentiments are link’d like we discover’d by the bay,<br />
thou would knows’t what I say.<br />
Next to thee I feel somewhat a likeness of me,<br />
maybe we be concordant harmony.<br />
Expect more of stargazing company,<br />
we could have more if try we gradually.</p>

<p>She&#8217;s a darling. She really is.<br />
No second thoughts, no doubts about it.<br />
Red be the colour of bloom&#8217;d rose petals,<br />
Not close to the red of her lips.</p>
<p>If fair be the colour of beauty skin,<br />
So fairer are thou&#8217;s character from which beauty brims.<br />
Never less, only more be more;<br />
This eternal goddess, nymph to not only the Greeks.</p>
<p>Lovely never knew another name.<br />
June from winter springs.<br />
May is just the preceeding,<br />
From where this fair maiden begins.</p>
<p>Sure, the cycles will always be unchang&#8217;d,<br />
The days, the nights, tides which fade then rise.<br />
As death comes with winter brings,<br />
Hastened be our meetings that winter chase&#8217;d.</p>
<p>But no, the sun will never be dimm&#8217;d.<br />
Much less a cloud with linnings untrimm&#8217;d,<br />
Ever be near to tarnish her golden beam.<br />
No, the cold winds will never win.</p>
