We found each other at the wrong time
From that moment
We knew exactly what we felt-- a fire ignites that we have to utterly resist
You are with her and I, with him
Who knew then?
That we will both have the same feelings that has been kept for so long

Fate paved a way
We were both in pain
We found ourselves lost
Alone..
The things that we planned for the rest of our lives vanished into thin air and became invisible

Then, we found each other..
Again..
We started something special
You took my pain away
You smiled and laughed with me
So innocent and sincere

For the longest time
We both know what we want
At last!
We can be more than what we had
More than friends
This time
We are both ready

But the odds are still against us
How unfortunate this is
We both have too much to fix
These too shall pass, we know
When? We don't know
And when it does?
Will we be together now?

We both know
We don't want to let each other go
We are both holding on
I won't let go
I won't let you go
I believe in possibilities

Know that I will think of you
I will pray and have faith
Everyday
Let's be strong
You made me feel special
What we have is one in a million
I cannot just throw it away

Everything you told me will be safe with me..
You are the one that I want to keep
Forever..
I think you are the best yet

You will always have me..
Come back and find me
You already found me. Twice.

You can always find your way back to me..

Paradise
A young girl is walking on a sinuous and rough trail.
Wounds and scratches have found its place in her body, so frail.

As she reached the end of the pathway, she began to feel decrepit and impuissant that she wanted to discreetly skreigh.

On a cloudy dark night, a boy appeared in the fog.
He said
Everthing will be okay..
Don't worry..
Just take my hand..

He took her to a place
that is very bright,
dazzling that it hurts
her heavy eyes.

They both sitted on an evergreen
well-groomed grass.
She noticed the beautiful scenery that appeared.
It calmed her mind,
her heart,
her whole being.

The sun shines,
the water by the river is crystal blue,
the breeze of the wind blows her hair.
She have seen the skies,
the birds and the flowers
surrounded by tall trees.

This place is filled with love, joy and happiness.
This is the place that she can choose to be with
or she can be in another world..

Anne Christine
My sunshine after a stormy day.
My rainbow after a rainy day.
My mirror.
My best friend.

On my darkest day you never left,
you see me through when there's nothing left.

In a brink of loneliness,
you sparkled me with
joy and happiness.

You create a brighter day
on my deepest despair,
never forgetting a perfect
smile to wear.

Oh how I love those curly hair!
Bouncing and dancing
up and down in midnight air!

I could not catch a rainbow or
bring you the moon,
but I promise to be your best friend forever 'till noon.

We will be up talking from dusk to dawn,
this friendship will last
forever we will own.

I will walk with you side by side,
hold your hand with all my might.
In vain I will not leave,
count on it I'm yours to keep.

My dear Anne Christine,
best friend of mine.
Two as one and one define.
There may be times of falling out,
but our friendship will never obliterate nor root out.

As our hairs turn to Grey and
we grow old,
together we will be stronger
eightfold.

And when the time comes that our balanced ride in the waves of life is steadied by His hands,
we will wrap our memories in our hearts and keep them until we meet again above the heaven's sands.

We will welcome each other once again with our arms wide open,
locking in a tight embrace,
and that's when we'll know..

our friendship will be eternal..

Morning Lover
My morning lover,
       you are the one that
I'd love to wait by.

I will be thinking of you
        until the sun sets on
a starry blue sky.

If the stars up in the
         heavens are no more,
You are still the one that I adore.

I will hold your hand
        and stay with you,
My love for you forever will be true.

Under the moonlight
         with a kiss I seal,
Every word is pure,
          veritable and real.

Have faith in me
         from the very start,
And you and I will never be apart.

At 23
Someone said he loves you and you believed each word
Your first kiss made you dance and spin around the stars

You swore you would marry him
someday..
You have done almost everything
For the man
That had a change of heart
For the man
Who changed his mind..

Young girl at 23
You have so much to learn
You have so much love to give
Know that in life
You will still have greater things
You will still have greater dreams in mind

Continue walking
Open each doors
Let life surprise you
You will soon find out who are you supposed to be

For now
Take a deep breath
Count to 10
Feel the pain
It means you are living
Cry. Take it in.
Let your heart
So innocent be scarred
To be stronger than what you have been
It will be alright
This is life
Hold on tight
And learn from each mistakes

Rock Bottom
I used to think that no one can ever love me until I met you

It was a sunny morning
Sunlight beaming and kissing my pale skin
I was deeply in love
Fallen head over heels
Moved mountains for you

A storm shattered my soul
It continued to hunt me
A ghost that was created by you-- who I truly trust
You caused me so much pain and yet I stayed

My love is greater than your flaws..
I said
I loved you unconditionally
I helped you change
Be better
Did everything and whatever I could
To save what's left of us

I never knew then
I was going downhill
Rock bottom
I was empty
Something has changed.. I realized
I cannot give anything now
I tried to control everything
Nothing is working--
                Nothing worked...
                                ...and so it ended

Untitled: Your Scent
I try to remember your scent-- the scent that awakens me from dreaming that this is all real. That scent that tells me that you are my safe place. In between your arms, your kisses, your soft whispers of "I LOVE YOU", in between your tight embrace and your soft touches.

I find my place in you. When I remember your scent, I feel safe and I know that you are with me. Your scent welcomes me home. You are my home.

Untitled: Your Laugh
The sound of your laugh that bursts from your chest is my music-- a music to my ears-- a song that I find myself humming to again and again, a rhythm that I'd love to dance to every now and then.

When you laugh, my heart skips a beat as if we have known each other for so long and we are tied together. And just like that, we endlessly dance.

It's a number
It's a place
It's a man

It's 11 o'clock
First night
First talk
First kiss
I love you...
First held hands. Tight.
I love you too...
Late night deep talks
Sweetest kisses
Night cuddles
His lips touching hers
It stings and lingers
I love you. It hurts.

You're only mine...
Yes... Always... Forever...
Smiling,
They danced the night away
It's 3 o'clock
Morning kisses
Morning hugs
Morning love
First breakfast
Burning flames
It's warm. Your warmth.
I love you. It hurts.

A goodbye kiss
His lips touching her forehead
Twice
Words left unspoken
Don't leave yet...
I miss you...
She watched
As he walked
Away from her

It's a man
A man inside a heart
A heart that loves trully
By a woman
Who patiently waits

Come back to me
Don't forget about me
I am waiting
A promise is a promise
I am not leaving you
I miss you...
I love you...
That it hurts...
Still...

Untitled: Your Smile
Just the thought of you gives me fluttering butterflies in my stomach.
I love the way you smile like there's just too many passion inside you. It gives me warmth-- your warmth that needs to spread in your cheeks, in your eyes, the wrinkles on your nose and on the corner of your temples that I wanted to kiss with pure gentleness.

When you smile, I always trace back the years when I haven't known you. Where I didn't have the chance to smile back and talk to you even for a short time. To intertwine your fingers in mine or put my arms around you and feel all the vibrations inside you that gives me warmth, comfort and joy.

I love seeing you smile even virtually-- because it makes me relive all the times that I still got the chance to see you personally. That is now becoming a beautiful blur.

Untitled: Your Voice
When you talk, your voice brighten my days. You provide me comfort in all the little things that you do. Your deep and mellow voice sends a tingling feeling inside me that makes me want to keep you in my life.

I love talking to you every time, every day, every night and every minute if I could. You're someone just simply amazing.

Untitled: Your Face
I love to watch you sleep. I watch you breathe air in and out and everything looks peaceful and calm.

I stare at your sweet face-- from your closed eyes, to your nose, to your muscular jaws down to your lips-- and I smile a bit. I wonder if you are dreaming? I love to see you dream.

And when the sunlight shines down on your face, I just want to squeeze you on a tight embrace. Feel your heart beat and never let you go.

Untitled: Your Kiss
Your kisses tasted sweet-- like candies on a one sunny morning that I crave compulsively. Your lips first touched mine and it took my breath away. It warmed me just like a blanket wrapped around my body while having the first cup of Green Tea or Long Black on a cold morning.

I keep on repeating that picture in my mind-- the burn, the sting, the heat and the left me wanting more feeling when you first kissed me. I knew I was in trouble from the moment I met you and I'd love to keep on meeting you over and over again.

Untitled: Your Eyes
When you look at me, I feel lost-- lost in the ocean of your big brown eyes. I am lost in a good way and I don't want to be found. When you stare at me, I always wondered why? I asked you why, but you never answered.

Those eyes of yours tells me that you love me. The same way I feel about you for a long time now.

When we locked eyes, my heart is the happiest. Each and every fiber of my being melts away. They tell me as if you never want me to go and I'd love to stare at them all day and all night.

Forever..

Questions
In the clouds up high
I'm watching the birds flew by
While unravelling my entire life
Searching for a reason why--
                why I'm waiting for you..

Masked
The Taste
The Desire
The Sexuality
    Am I amusing you?

The Craving
The Lusting
   Am I the woman you visualized?

Did you come to me
To fulfill your Foolish Trickeries,
your Fantasies,
To be performed before your eyes?

Did you ever think
That I'm going to be
exactly what you want me to be ---
   A Burning Heat
   A Soulless Lustful Treat

Tell me ---
    Does your heart really beat?

And if that heart reveals your truth
Like a mirror that reveals the truth
Will you ever wonder ---
Do you really have a heart?

I wished you came to see
My Truth,
My Purity,
That's here inside my heart

But it's just not what you seek from me..

Stellar
Strolling along the walkway
Side by side you've been my way
Words unspoken, my eyes can say
With you tonight, with hope you stay

Lights flashed on a cold October night
Beautifully crafted,
our hands held tight
The gaps of your hand filled-in to mine
So far so close, it is intertwined

The sun shined, my heart cried
Morning has come,
the pretty lights gone
Yearning it to come back,
Wishing you to come back
My illusions to live, it must be willed

Strolled along the walkway
Alone, I've been my way
On a cold October night,
With you who was my star,
Now uniquely and undeniably my lost star..

Please
People told me
I should write a poetry,
A happy one,
When I am feeling blue

I have been writing
For so very long,
And I'm still crying,
trying helplessly

Tell me what MUST I do?

On these quiet days?
When moon shines down?
When souls all embrace?
So silently

I hope
The rain will wash away
All these words,
Provoked ire from these pains,
That my heart can't take

Set me free..

What If
The first time we met was like seeing a fireworks exploding out on a deep dark night sky-- colorful, vibrant and gave me a feeling of ecstasy to my very core.

I can't have you and you can't have me.

We never spoke but I wanted you in silence. I've always wondered, what if I met you first? What if you met me first?

What If...

Would you ever love me the way you love her? Do you even want me the way I want you?
There's nothing I can do but to be discreet.

I will always want you...
I will always love you...

Silently..

Free
I desire you
Kiss me once, I want to know you
All they say and all they do
How I'd love to feel you

Gentle breeze
Infinite time
Hold my hand, please be mine
Touch my skin
I'll take you in
To be free is what I want to be

Free
Like the wind blowing
Free
Like a bird gracefully flying
Taking my time
Wherever I am
Whenever I can
