A poem which I co-wrote with my teenage friend, Wendy Chin which got published in the weekly New Thrill tabloit magazine in the late 1979 ( there is no actual date as the other half of the paper was cut ). A slight amendment was made though so as to make the poem sound smoother.
By the shore I sat
Bubbling waves swept my feet wet
Heavenly breeze caressed me tenderly
Surfacing buried emotions so hurtfully
Painting vividly a picturesque of yesteryear
Even then as a child I shed much tears
I was not shown any love
Nor taught how to care
Ain't I yours the one you bear?
Why then was I dumped & abandoned?
While to others you danced with attendance?
Was it so wrong that you gave life to me?
Now a tormented soul wanting to be free
Often I pause and wonder
Was it fate that made it impossible
For you to show me a with little endearment
So that disheartened me may find some peace and contentment
As the tide subsides
Twilight is no longer in sight
Bygones I cannot recapture
To a destined life I am prepared to suffer
Note : In those days as far as I remembered we were paid a $20 for a published poem which later was reduced to ONLY $5 ( a S h E s ! )
