The memories we have, the times we shared.
All our smiles and laughter, I will not forget.
And as Life takes you where your destiny threads,
Go forth I wish you, with Life’s every single best.

<p>I would see you almost every other day,<br />
But yet you, I’d not know beyond your name.<br />
Too few hellos and goodbyes we’d have,<br />
Time too haste, too fast to chase.</p>
<p>We shared too, too little exchanges;<br />
Of hearty smiles and laughter candor.<br />
Of our ups and downs, and cheer and fears.<br />
Fair in times like these never, know not I will ever. </p>
<p>I’d never know how your demeanor,<br />
Of what your friends about you say.<br />
How you’d react to the funny things, I have yet no chance to say.<br />
Know not I will ever, this friend I have yet to truly make.</p>
<p>For our God has chosen for you,<br />
To His bosom side to stay.<br />
And though we’ll all miss you in our each own ways,<br />
We’d like you to know, you were not in vain.</p>
<p>For your memories and image they live on,<br />
In those whom sighted you as you blazed along.<br />
Like a comet gone too soon,<br />
We’ll reminisce till we’re blazed out too.</p>
<p>In three weeks 21 you’d be,<br />
“Happy Birthday, Steph!” to you from me.<br />
A final teary “Goodbye” for now it seems,<br />
Hearts, your family, friends and me. </p>

<p>No need for that,<br />
Sorry a word not meant this way.<br />
Thee had not done to me on purpose,<br />
Not Thy fault what of me that hurts.</p>
<p>For in Love this I can say true,<br />
That no right or wrong can define to.<br />
Thus if Thou truly be happy,<br />
What sorry is need’d from Thee?</p>
<p>If any at all blame be needy,<br />
Then it should be me to shoulder all it.<br />
For I give my every in heart too easily,<br />
When I encounter someone so worthy.</p>
<p>It be not deceitfully contriv’d,<br />
For I would not pain for myself had plann’d it.<br />
But of nature’s course I genuine did,<br />
Fall head over heels so badly indeed.</p>
<p>Though I say these all with prose poetic,<br />
Every word single I mean sincere herein.<br />
Addition, not to make Thee guilty,<br />
For that is last I want to achieve;<br />
Surely, more pains’t to me if I knew it.</p>
<p>If, ever, if one day, Thee finds’t different.<br />
That your heart would start beat for me,<br />
I would hear and here I’d be.<br />
If Thee feels ever such feelings,<br />
Please, run to me.</p>
<p>For present, it be enough for me;<br />
To know that all is well for Thee.<br />
That in my dreams I can also rest easy;<br />
Sweet and sugary I too want clos’d eyelids see.</p>
<p>I tell you actually,<br />
That each before dreams I’d be,<br />
Praying secretly, everything smooth for Thee.<br />
That not hurt nor frown ever win,<br />
The chirpy laughter I remember so clearly.</p>
<p>And till that if ever day ever really occurs,<br />
I’d be cheering you on, as a friend so dearly.<br />
For if aid Thee should require of me,<br />
You can trust your good friend here,<br />
Here I’d be.</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>
