“This Place” by Esmond Ng © copyright 25/11/05

Just came back from the 166. (Ref: 11/07/05 “The 166”) Well, it’s been an awful long while since I last visited it. Although I was standing there on the chilly road, nothing about the place seemed biting at all. Every memory and feeling associated with this place flooded back into me without foretoken.

============================================

After all, this was where I first saw you in white angelic.
The place I picked you up from for our first date.
The place I thought I would see the sweetest thing to my eyes each every day.
The place which stayed the one who took my last true love breath away.

At this place I hold much lovely memories but also pain.
That I would hurt someone and disappoint her till this day.
At this place, never the same it will be.
At this place, they soon will tear down; cease to exist.

But at this place, though no longer soon be;
Will stay the same in heart and mind; like you be to me.
For I to you, believe you still say the same;
That you be a holder of past “begone” memories.

“From my eyes” by Esmond Ng © copyright 14/11/05
==============================================

From my eyes,
Bustling profuse on streets.
Yet no one turns twice to see,
The agony I terrible be.

Stricken; injured leg I laid,
By the bin eyes so wretchedly.
None to hear my mewls aid,
None to helplessness I can relate.

From my eyes,
All caught up in own busy day.
How so no one to avail my pain?
Seems compassion yesteryear a trait.

For I am exposed feeble,
Without human speech and expression.
Without which I am prostrated,
To Death a certitude fate.

Although stray my parentage,
I am living and with filled feelings.
I am just a little kitten impoverished by strain,
Just a kitty, please on me have pity.

“Purple Butterfly” by Esmond Ng © copyright 04/11/05

“Purple Butterfly” by Esmond Ng © copyright 04/11/05
==================================================

Purple prose the butterfly,
On flower top did it’s beauty shine.
Slender it’s body yet big,
Its wings of colors in social settings.

So attractive yet exclusive it be,
That all attention should flock around Thee.
For ornate and ever so pretty,
In mind though ago last I long time meet.

Purple in all ancient royalty,
My princess found I in Thee.
That all my world like the flower I be,
Should await your florid setting upon me.

Same feeling in abdomen I get,
Butterflies when you my eyes set.
For it be my heart beats uncontrollably,
When purple prose the butterfly I see.

Esmond's very own quote for November

Had another dear friend who used to leave this as her nick in MSN. “Everyone goes through storms before finding their Rainbows.” (Source: Unknown) I actually quite agree with that statement. Personally, I found it very encouraging and empowering especially if you’re feeling blue.

Then, I realized an exception to this. What happens if you didn’t go through any storms? What happens if you just happen to walk past one after the storms had past? Does it mean it’s any less of a Rainbow?

It’s human to err. More so, it’s human to neglect and take for granted the lovely things and people around us each and every second. Often, we don’t appreciate them until they’re no longer there. Sometimes, we don’t even see them at all!

There are more Rainbows amongst us than we think. A lot of the time, we get so fixated on wanting to make something a Rainbow, we fail to see the apparent ones around us. We get so resolute on creating a miracle with someone or something that we just can’t see the other marvels occurring besides us. Hence, Esmond’s very own quote for November:

“Question: How do you find the prettiest Rainbows?
Answer: By looking past and around them instead.”

My attempt at creating a Rainbow! Posted by Picasa


Concise Painting Synopsis:
(Arcylic on canvas, gloss vanish.)

Whilst planning, there were a couple of crucial elements for this painting. The proportions, textures and colors.

If you notice, there’s a very distinct separation between the black and the blue background. Similarly, people often see things in very clear cut situations of right and wrong, true or false, good or bad, et cetera. The picture is cropped. In the original painting, the black area takes up three quarters of the space; signifying that humans mostly like to perceive situations as “pessimistic” more.

On the dark side, texture is very cross-sectional and intentionally messy. Even the rainbow here is staggered and broken. This coincides with the confusion and stress on the moody area. The clear skies are nicely blue and white with smooth circular strokes. The rainbow over on this side is defined and congruent. When things seem bad or hopeless, look forward and you may see your Rainbow. The signature is in bright yellow; suggesting that hopefully, I may be of sunshine to others.
