"Unconditional" is an epic ode to the purest bond in existence-the sacred trust and unconditional love between a child and a dog. Within these verses lies the portrait of innocence cradled by loyalty, where a child's laughter and a hound's devotion weave a timeless story of joy, protection, and selfless affection. Through lyrical stanzas, this poem captures the gaze of a dog into a child's soul, the trust of gentle hands upon strong paws, and the immeasurable beauty of love that asks for nothing in return. A celebration of companionship, sacrifice, and the truest form of love, this work stands as a hymn to the eternal friendship between humankind and its most faithful guardian.

"The Second Sunrise" is a soul-stirring odyssey through time, memory, and redemption. It captures the raw ache of hindsight and transforms it into a bold vow of rebirth. Awaking in the body of a twelve-year-old, the speaker journeys through regret and revelation, vowing to rewrite his life with purpose, integrity, and love. From forsaking empty pursuits to cherishing family, this poem becomes a battle cry against wasted time-a promise to seize the present with the wisdom of the past. It is a resurrection of the self, forged in fire, softened by grace-a second chance lit by the fierce, undying flame of the heart.

Across oceans and through centuries, history whispers in towering castles, ancient bridges, and storied streets. From the neon glow of Tokyo to the solemn ruins of Auschwitz, from the grand halls of Versailles to the misty canals of Amsterdam, "An Ode for My Forgotten Paradise" is a poetic odyssey through the wonders of the world. With every step through legendary lands, Vienna's gilded ballrooms, Florence's artistic cradle, and Yosemite's timeless peaks, Mervyn Singzon captures the soul of travel, weaving memories of cultures, cuisines, and cathedrals into a grand, sweeping symphony of exploration. Yet, for all the breathtaking sights and distant shores, the journey leads homeward to California, wild and boundless, where golden cliffs meet rolling vineyards, and the Pacific sings beneath crimson skies. A love letter to adventure and a tribute to home, this epic ode reminds us that the greatest paradise may not be the one we seek, but the one we remember and the one we already have.
