Gravity Against Me

This is a song inspired poem powered by 'Gravity' by John Meyer.

A force that keeps us grounded,
So we don't go astray as we go afloat,
Gravity is working against me,
My heart sinking into the grounds of somewhere remote.

My heart can't stand more than this,
This man and all the love he has to give,
It feels a lot like hit and miss,
Life as we know it is what we have to give.

It's too difficult to go and to stay,
The push and pull will eventually give way,
I can't stop the words that he would say,
Those dreams he painfully throws away.

The more he gives and the less he takes,
Two folds or more isn't enough,
If it isn't good enough, he will raise the stakes,
I can see he is having it rough.

Gravity is working against me,
Too good to be true, this love of his,
Gravity bringing me down to reality,
To say goodbye to a love like this.

On bended knees we surrender,
One to tired to stand, the other by gravity's hand,
We can't help but want more from each other,
But we both know it won't go according to plan.

He deserves another,
Why should I even bother,
He is so much better,
Why couldn't my broken heart last longer.

We said goodbye through the tears we cried,
Gravity, you took life away from me,
Through sickness and death, our love has tried,
Now to the light I will go to eternity.

Swinging From Memory To Memory

Of recent adventures and endeavours I realised how much I liked to swing . This is how I wing it at swing. Hope this is as much fun reading as it was writing. When I was young, as memory recalls, My mum would take us out to play, We sometimes 'hang gai-gai' at nearby malls, Or go to McDonald's to eat during the day. On the weekdays when we would get the chance, To get some fresh air at the playground, Every kid would have one thing in their glance, We would race for the swings or run around. As I grew older I had a few favourite animations, One was from Jane Goodall's favourite book that became many adaptations, Tarzan swinging from vine to vine was all it took, For us nature lovers to love apes and get hooked. And then came along the 'All American Rejects' Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of my heart, Listening to that song had relieving effects, Cause any rejected crush made me fall apart. I remember there were days that w

This Is Malaysia

Recently Swit Marie has gotten more active on the HitRECord platform and started working on new material and collaborations. This was definitely the highlight of 2020 for her years of writing in the past few years. Reaching an international audience and being part of a community of creatives through this project involving over 180 contributors. The piece that was submitted for the This Is Malaysia video by HitRECord was derived from Dragon Tail . This Is Malaysia  final script remixed by Matt Conley from 8 contributors. This I s Malaysia video. The morning sun greets the mist of the hills, Joy seeps into my lungs as the morning dew kisses my cheeks, Peppercorn scents sing melodies of what the day could be. Waking up to the clouds embracing the mountain ranges This is where my heart belongs My fingertips touch the sparkle in the air made by the sun rays that love the mist My shoulders rise with the lightness of the sunrise. A symphony of swallows sifting through the clouds, Murmuratio

2020

I  wrote this on the flight travelling back to Malaysia in 2020, leaving Australia after what would have been the last time I see the person that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I was observing the people around me, it was an 8 hour flight with a lot of turbulence, who would have know that 2020 would be that kind of year as well. It is funny how things tell you of what will come in its own little ways. Looking around absorbing the sensations to accommodate my body to my surroundings, Infusing my skin with lavender and chamomile to soothe the tension in my muscular fibres.   On my left, a rubik cube frantically trying to solve itself It is but a process of working out possible solutions and running through know standard operational patterns Constant rotations occur and in mere minutes the puzzle is solved.   On my right, two European centurians ecstatic to journey to a new land Partners in life and adventurers ready for new horizons just above the equator They see spirits an
