i was walking on the quiet streets of randwick last night...
the air was chilly...with just a t-shirt, i looked silly
i saw in a corner, a guy sobbing...
perhaps of broken heart or of shattered dreams...
he was really hurt it seems..
in another corner, a guy angry...
he was furious at everything and cursed it all in his breath...
but in his eyes i saw that he was only mad at himself..
further up on belmore, a mad-man sings...
his tunes so heartfelt, of happiness and sadness...
my guess is he doesn't even know what feelings are coz his head, a mess...
a guy walked pass me, his steps quick - his eyes serious...
he looked determined, he knows what he wants...
he obviously thinks that to be wrong, he can't...
suddenly i heard tears of a girl...
i stopped and searched but i see no one...
the weeping is loud and it feels so near...
yet around me i still see no one...
indeed, the streets of randwick was quiet and deserted...
it was eerie...
i can't help but realize that those people were all me...
yet, the girl i can't see...

Hey Sunny! Julli here ;> Surprise surprise... Was browsing through friendster and i saw your shoutout so I decided to stop by your profile and happened to stumble upon your blog. Interesting expression of feelings with different "individuals" in this poem! I think it's really a good piece... => i think most of us share the same feelings that u described while walking down the streets of randwick or metaphorically, the journey of life. Nice song btw in your friendster link. have a nice day ahead..hopefully, we'll always "meet" the contented man who sings to the tunes of happiness and success...
Wow. *speechless*. Very very nice.
hehehe...wow julli,compliment coming from you...a future english teacher!thanks...i hope i can find that happy man too...

"with just a t-shirt, i looked silly"

*switch to another serious mode*
wow sunny. i have to agree with the rest. that's one excellent and deep piece. not to mention u somehow manage to find words that rhyme and they don't obscure the overall meaning of ur prose. ceiihh~!
