THE NIGHTWEAVER

From the darkness
I rose...
Never felt so alive
as I awaken
from my slumber.

My heart and soul
revived,
dancing alongside
the melody of the songs
played to soothe my ears.

My lungs welcome
the chilly night air
Inspiration in every breath,
feeding, nourishing
my yearning spirit.

Raven - black wings stretched,
silhouettes of darkness
Deceiving prying eyes
as I soar in the skies
For to many, I'm a creature of enigma.

Rarely people wander
deep into my caverns
For they can't really see
what truly lies,
deep inside the darkness.

More failed to understand
that darkness is my guide
From it, I learn
the meaning of appreciation
From it, I appreciate
the warmth of the loving
From it, I love
the passion of discovery
And deep in its core, I discover
His guiding, His light.

I am
the Nightweaver
I weave bundles of memories,
spools of knowledge, strings of emotion,
into tapestries of words, of admirable art.

The moon shining, polishing
the pen - my needle
Rise will my passion
in its revitalizing glow
As I soar, bathing in moonlight.

To weave, my next creation...

SEYMOUR NIGHTWEAVER (24th April 2008)

My passion is ...

Poetry and Creative Writing... English is my life! ;)

I know too much about ...

I ain't any sage... I'm just nineteen... Sorry, I'm too humble to admit that I know too much about anything in my life... We as humans, God's creation, are created with imperfections... That's why we keep on learning for the rest of our lives... It is because we can never know EVERYTHING!

My parents always told me ...

Don't waste money :P

My childhood ambition ...

When I was 10, I wanted to be a Teacher... When I was 12, I wanted to be an Architect... When I was 15, I wanted to be A Game Shop Owner... When I was 17, I wanted to be a Journalist... When I was 18, I wanted to be a Counsellor... This year I'm 19, and I applied my university course to become a Teacher... And this time, I'm serious - no switching again! Lol :P (Sadly, I didn't make it to the interview. I was not selected, but I will not give up. God has His own plans for me... I believe that.)

My favorite memory ...

Having a girlfriend...

Why I write ...

Writing is a form of expression, an art... And I enjoy expressing myself, my ideas and as well as my emotions... But as I learn and experience things in Helium, I began to realize that writing is more than just mere expression... It needs to bo voiced out, and this is what I am going to do right now...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Japanese Anime Songs (Otaku Alert! :P)

My first job ...

CEO in the world famous 'Unemployed' Corps.

My best moment ...

When I realized that my poems got published... :)

My inspiration ...

Tee Ann Jie. She's my senior, and she's like a sister to me... She's why I became the very person I am today. Everything began with her... And of course, God, who has been by my side all this while... Lord be praised.

CHAINED

I gaze upon the darkness
swirling around me
Sneering, taunting
and always tormenting
watching my never ending struggle
with my deepest fear
My weakness.

I always imagined
that I could fly,
soaring in the skies
when the dream suddenly shattered
upon the weight of the chains
that ground my wings
and confine me, within this chamber.

I always wanted to break free,
the door was never locked
But I never dared to leave,
for leaving behind the darkness
that dwells this room
will only reveal
my scars.

I am indeed a coward
for feeling safe
within my confinemen...
