Intimacy is what I need <br />I couldn’t get it at school <br />I’m a dropout at sixteen <br />At the expense of a broken marriage, <br />only mom and elder sister are living <br />with me in a rented flatted house <br />Five o’clock in the evening <br />with usual dress-up and make-up <br />mom and sister will leave the house <br />heading to the night’s bar and pub <br />where they would entertain men who <br />seek ecstasy and entertainment <br />The earnings will put foods on our table <br />Throughout the night and almost all nights <br />I’ll be left alone at home <br />Watching T.V. and listening to Radio <br />To fulfill my emptiness <br />And thirsts for love <br /> <br />A blossomed and beautiful girl like me <br />Without someone around is madness <br />It’s about time to make a move <br />To search for company <br />To feed the urge and burning desires <br />and the rebellious in me <br />One day, I saw the awakening of a horizon <br />A seventh teen of age young handsome boy had just moved in <br />To the house just opposite of mine <br />The adjacent of love has strikes <br />I glanced at him and he noticed <br />We exchanged smiles abruptly <br />I introduced myself as Nancy <br />I’m a Chinese and he’s Malay <br />Different religion and culture they’d say <br />For us nothing would stir in between <br />Our intimacy has just begin <br />Every evening he’ll step-in <br />To my apartment we lock-in <br /> <br />We treasured our secrecy <br />A breath of new life finally <br />Has groomed my body into maturity <br />I’m no longer lost in vicinity <br />I got someone pretty <br />And rebellious full of fantasy <br />The cuddling boy I called honey <br />Will be my playmate <br />We’ll sail together till late<br /><br />Sulaiman Mohd Yusof<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-ve-just-got-a-playmate/
