      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Dear Daddy

      May 20, 2019

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Being an adult is… Crazy. What are you worried about currently? I’m worried the WGA [Writers Guild of America] will have to strike for longer than is sustainable for individuals. But they will win so I’m really not ‘worried’ at all. If someone could

      PATIENCE brings ROSES. 

      It has taken a lot of patience and belief that one day a collection of poems will be published by me so others can share with me and ultimately, get inspired to live life to the fullest. And finally, the first part has become reality.

      Now I hope it brings joy, insight, courage and hope to everyone who reads it. It is my desire that through the pages of this book, you’d find the zest to live your best life and consequently, make the world a better place.

      LOVE

      Love isn’t convenient. But I will always love you.

      -Toks Asher Young

      I WANNA BE LOVED LIKE THAT 

      Like a promise that won’t be broken

      With loyalty that’s not in question

      With a love that’s not in doubt

      And a heart filled with goodness

      I wanna be loved right

      Have you looked at me and only me?

      Cos you yearn for me and want me too

      And without me, you just can’t breathe

      So you pray for me like no one else

      Like I am the air you breathe

      Like rose carnations in full bloom

      Like a prize bull during fight season

      Bright like the moon on a dark night 

      Sweet as ripe fruit in due season

      Fresh like first fruits in spring time

      I wanna be loved like that

      LOVE ISN’T CONVENIENT

      Love isn’t convenient

      But I will always love you

      Love isn’t impatient

      But I am yearning for you

      The heart isn’t so smart

      And so mine beats only for you

      My eyes have seen a lot of things

      Now it sees no one else but you

      Take your time, you have my attention

      Believe me, you’ll always be in my mention

      Take my hand, take my arm, too

      Baby, you’ll always have my affection

      I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

      I will always love you, just like the first time

      I will share your worries if only you let me

      I want your love and with good reason

      I will stay by your side thru all seasons

      I wanna hold you close to my bosom

      And whisper sweet nothings in your ear

      I wanna tell
