forces

drive by Alistair Chong

some part of me
that wants to keep writing
searching for the coming dawn
as if words could ask for all
of the night stars to leave

powers

getting there by Alistair Chong

don't think i'd find the will
to strive through until
the waking hour
or even get close

intersections

this way by Alistair Chong

a different direction
i should be looking in
does me a world of sin
does the street look so pale
in the mist of older days
we always find cross roads

cold front

upon us once more by Alistair Chong

well
here comes the winter cold
back from days of old
a year has gone by
yet she never forgets the night
where she returns
cold, heartless
such beautiful character

no more leaves

falling away by Alistair Chong

well i guess
we've come across another goodbye
another song for another time
well i guess
the end of fall
a sign for all
to curl up and keep inside

shout it

desire indeed by Alistair Chong

well deserving
could there be sacrifice
or is natural enough to suffice
a talent we are blessed with
oh how i wish i received
something more
but we'd make something more
if we just tried

taking them

meds by Alistair Chong

the taste
bitter and broken
would only do a world of good
to me
sick and weary
i hope this leaves

transporting

bussing by Alistair Chong

on and off we get
the bus will take the road
around and around it goes
thank God they do

carry through

we'll continue on by Alistair Chong

always there will be
a spring following the winter
breaking between the snow
and finding just another light

as the sun will rise

faithful by Alistair Chong

no matter how many clouds
how dark it gets
the sun will always shine
forever beyond the rain
and endless days
she'll be there

journeys

voyager by Alistair Chong

on a payphone
in Paris
waiting to hear a voice
a letter from New York
and it never seems too far

if it never does

wants by Alistair Chong

cracks appear
in between fears
of many things
we could never love
or we could find it wrong
or never in the first place

the chance

charmed by Alistair Chong

lucky numbers
and a four leaf clover
a charm we'd kiss
before it's over
all we'll need
is the result

passenger

stranger by Alistair Chong

so we end up
in the same kind of place
an empty box
and a featureless face
