32/F/Filipino I write poems from the heart. / From personal experiences.
Oh August, please be kind to someone who's tough For I have battled with July fair enough Survived June not bad enough And cried for May --- more than enough Stranded with time as it slowly tick Friends do think that both of us will click But time gives test to see who will stick Like a coin with results in just one flick Nothing lasts for long as well as being alone Time will surely come that you will find a home Live each day with a smile and pretend you're not lonesome Avoid being snob, don't make someone feel unwelcome Love is just around the corner Waiting for you to uncover Just don't rush into things until you fully recover A wonderful life awaits for you to discover Spend each day doing things your heart desires Adventures done alone will have nothing to require So treasure the memories that you will acquire Share the lessons that will possibly inspire

Oh August!
Clock stopped ticking Heart stopped beating Mind stopped thinking Soul stopped searching Eyes start crying Tears start falling Dreams start fading Future's now changing Started from nothing Turned into something A love that's burning Is now shattering

/Heart
Nothing is wrong Everything is perfectly fine The mood has been set But feels like there's a connivance "IT" is happy "IT" is satisfied But she is not And she is silently breaking inside Then the song that made her cry plays in the background Now a stir of emotions is occuring Tears will fall but she's making them stop Not now, not here, not for them to see Looking for a secret place A hidden room in the corner Where nobody will ever see These eyes that always pretend She is always suspicious Have they planned this before? They gave her what she wanted But took away what he had loved the most.

Always This Way
A fragile object my friend has given me An eye-candy in my area for everyone to see It has a LED light that makes the scene Takes away the impression that my place is obscene I love how the lighting gives the effect That wings are fluttering as we expect The frail wings are a sign of a delicate subject A gentle object that to me is perfect Real butterflies have brittle wings they use to flee A bright tomorrow is for them to foresee Similar to friendship that is nurtured by thee A form of comparison that you call simile I took photos of this picturesque gift Saddened feeling that it will uplift I thank my sponsor for this dazzling gift And for its purpose, unhappy hearts it shall uplift

Butterfly
It's not usual for me to be writing a poem this early But since I can't sleep yet and my soul seemed empty Here I am typing the words that came out eagerly The concept that was pushed out of bravery I lost my Sunshine and so darkness evaded Ate my emotion and in Heaven I was rejected On Earth I stayed trapped, bruised, and depleted Away from the jewels all my life I have venerated Pain is inevitable but at the same time curable To a heart that is wounded, aftermath is memorable Recovering from the incident is somewhat imaginable Though at times it may seem unfathomable It's hard to understand when your mind is shut And the only thing that's open is your mouth and a "but" A hint to a conversation is all but a gut To start things through from where they should start I would like to apologize to those I've caused hurt With those words I've uttered and hearts I may have burnt An instance wherein I lose control of my emotion Such a lame and deep sign of depression Before I end this short release I thank thee for the glimpse Writing this gave me peace And hope it did give you ease

Sunrays On My Windowpane
reading poems has been my hobby writing them was my escape posting them was my pride and being liked has been my accomplishment i write poems to let loose what's within to express what's been hiding to utter things indirectly to those concerned but never bothered this is my haven a secret place in times i am feeling forlorn away from the real world that brings nothing but hurt when a stir inside occurs that's a call for you to scribble be able to jot anything and be released from the excruciating pain

On Poems
there were times i feel like I'm a special child the one who needs most of the attention the one who needs love the most but the only difference is, i only need those that are from my loved ones it's not that i feel that i am neglected not that i am rejected not even was i isolated it's just that... i feel alone at some times... it was unintentional --- i guess nobody left me they were just busy busy with their own lives i was never an attention-seeker i never wanted to be an eye-candy neither a center of attention or someone in the middle of a commotion maybe i just needed some of your time some of your busy time for me even the least of it that you can give me just for this day... make me feel like I am Special

I am Special
Why pretend that you're happy eventhough you really are NOT?! Why pretend that you like what's happening eventhough you really DON'T?! Why pretend to be someone you're not?! Why believe in things that doesn't align with your principles?! Life is a matter of "WHO can withstand WHAT". Can you withstand the everyday trials life will give you? Can you withstand the storm that will pass you? Are you even strong enough to face the greatest fear of your life? Or you're just a common coward hiding from the thick sheets of "show-off bravery"? C'mon think things through... Don't just give in with what's happening now... As the saying goes, "there's always a rainbow after the storm", it applies to all. Wake up! And learn to face the facts on your own. It's YOU that matters the most! It's YOU who should withstand everything and anything! 'coz in the end... it's just YOU and YOURSELF... and NOBODY ELSE!

The Dawn of Fear
even i myself don't understand some things as they come... even the actions and reactions i produce... i don't usually say things or comment on events or react on commotions... i act plain and casual... as if though i just don't care for anyone or anything at all... but i do... and when i start to recognize my feelings... they come and go as often as the wind blows... destroys the composure i have kept... and eats up everything i have set aside for... and ends up with nothing at all... there are people who don't open up that easily... there are people who don't give you a piece of them... there are people who don't give their trust to anyone... there are people who don't stay with you for long... and i was one of them... before... i enclosed myself... kept away from anyone... refrained from any relationship... played safe... avoided pain... then came a time i opened up... i shared... i gave whatever i can... i felt pain... i learned... i see things as they were never before... got open to ideas which i never thought had existed before... i became "normal", i guess... pain though is inevitable... the more you free yourself... the more you show who you are... the more you share what you've got... the more you care... the more you keep people close to your heart... the more know about others... the more attached you get... the deeper it hurts in the end... guess why i got so protective with myself in the beginning... i was afraid of getting hurt... afraid of the harsh and rude world outside... and the greatest fear i had all along... rejection... i covered up... got separated from what is real... ran away from the world... stayed with a few... and hid from the crowd...
