To a Friend (Poem)

To a Friend

By Anthony Yap

To the friend who I came to admire

Hope you read and feel

The feeling that resides within

For thou my dearest friend

Mine heart and soul commends

Thou hast been there when I need thee

Thou hast been there in my sadness

Thou hast been there in my happiness

And thus I love thee

For thou art my council in my solitude

I shalt treasure thee

For thou art more prettier than gold

For thou art more than anything else

In thine company

I lie for all eternity...

Star Chaser (Poem)

Star Chaser

By Anthony Yap

Where are you my beloved star?
Why have you abandoned me in this solemn night?
I'm without a clue as to where to go
And tomorrow I know not how to grow

Your beauty is nothing less spectacular
With hopes and dreams that come alive
A light of hope, a mesmerizing sight
It could change a heart to solid gold

I'm like a fool who follows you
With absent-mind, and a hallow will
I trust your will to where it leads
Yes, a fool maybe who loves you so

But you have disappeared so suddenly
I'm without a clue as to where you are
I could only think and wonder why
Why you invite and leave me be

And so I'm left without a guide
To stray away, without a sight
I know not which road to follow so
Blindly tread where fate leads me

Note: I have composed this poem to a special someone, but I do not want to speak about her nor mention her name anymore. One thing's for sure, our feelings is a powerful thing... this poem came out when I was thinking about her. The content perhaps was that there was a time when I was willing to give up anything and go after her, but I was confuse, and I do not know if it was the right idea for I already have a family. And as the title, I was madly chasing after her...
