Haven
Ysa Pa Mar 2016
A rose in the snow
A diamond in a plow
A single cloud on a hot day
A lone bud amongst the flowers of May
A sole tree on a cliff
Amidst lines, there is a hieroglyph
A white lily in a field of red tulips
A solar eclipse
A volcano in the ocean
A center of planetary revolution
An aurora atop icy regions
A rainbow above desert nations
A sunset in the sea
A sunrise in the city
A moon in the afternoon sky
A mother's unique lullaby
A bright evening star in a cloudy night
Within darkness, a presence of a candlelight
Still, nothing can compare
To you, none would resemble, none can dare
You are beyond comparison
And I can only provide one reason
I don't shiver or stutter when you're present
Around you, it just feels pleasant
I've never met anyone like you
Nor heard anyone say my name like you do
When the sound of my name slides from those lips
I feel safe
You make me feel safe to be me
You make me feel safe

Her
Ysa Pa Mar 2016
Her
My darling songbird
My beloved thrush
Whose name, my favorite word
Whose demeanor is plush
Coated with elegance
She paves the seas
As she performs her dance
My demons appease
Whose voice is serenity
Overpowering the storms
Whose love is unmeasured artistry
Whose touch is an invisible form
Whose care knows no bounds
Whose eyes are unlike any other
Whose arms are the safest ground
She's the lady, whom I call mother

Backdoor
Ysa Pa Mar 2016
I'll be waiting
By the locked keyless backdoor
I'll linger
No matter how many times the moon greets the day
I'll stand by
Or how many times the sun kisses the night
I'll still be here
By the locked keyless backdoor
That you had no idea existed
Always.

Even though there are a million locked keyless backdoors
I'll break them all down
Once I'm tired, and I am
I'll wait.

Nostalgia
Ysa Pa Nov 2015
The streets, plain
The scenery, new but unchanged
The city, now black and white
The candle that failed to ignite
The crisp morning air
The usual affairs
The same unheated ground
Then there was a faint sound
The leaves started to sway
There was a presence of warm sun rays
The grass and flowers danced
The prospect, enhanced
All because my ears have found
A vaguely familiar and new sound
An enamoring explosion of melody
An enthralling harmony
A beguiling musicality
An enslaving euphony
A perfect array of notes
Flowing with a hypnotic coat
A piercing tune
Resembling a rune
It's rhythm, throbbing
It's tempo, moving
The sound was too perfect and strong
That it seemed like a torturous song
Nonetheless, it was a beautiful beat
Beautiful enough to move my feet
What I heard was an alluring sound
That eventually made me slide through the ground
I closed my eyes and followed what I heard
Walking, searching, to clarify the blurred
The faint sound, grew louder
Eventually I was overpowered
While seeking for the source of the hymn
I turned into a willing victim
My feet have stopped moving
When I saw a man, the man who was playing
My eyes settled upon his silhouette
Which was in contrast to the sunset
There he was, sitting on a wooden stool
Unknowingly making all the listeners drool
His fingers fluttering atop black and white keys
Creating color through a musical breeze
I saw him, that man
Still playing, talking through his hands
I followed a sound and saw a pianist
And then my heart was kissed
Not because of the music that made my ears fuss
Not because he splashed paint all over the dull canvas
But because of how he looked at the instrument
It's as if, for the piano, his eyes were meant
How he gazed upon it with those eyes
As if the piano was his only prize
How he goggled the piano with those eyes
As if for that instrument he was willing to agonize
As if he can only see the piano
As if there was only him and the piano
It was that look that little girls dream of
It was that look that symbolized love
That look that little girls wished were for them
That look that would give little girls contemn
That look that was only for the piano
That look that was pure as snow
That look was colorful and honestly warm
That look that entrapped a celestial swarm
That look which was gentle and intense
That look which was passionate and immense
That look which was alive, painful and afraid
In that moment, I longed for a shooting star's aid
As if a little girl, I wished for what little girls wish for
I wished for him to look at me like that, nothing more
But none can compare with his instrument
Nor to the reason why he plays it with such  intent
To the new girl he plays for
To the girl he currently adores
I hope his sound reaches you
I hope you listen and give him value
I hope you look at him as he plays for you
Look at him like how he looks at the piano when he thinks of you
Like how the crowd looks at him as he plays like this
Like how the little girls look like when they wish
Like how he used to look at the piano
When he misses and plays for the little girl, not too long ago
Spare me a few minutes and allow me to use black and white words to transport you in a colorful memory

No one else
Ysa Pa Aug 2015
I missed you at 3am, when the world was asleep and  when I was alone
I whispered to myself that it's only natural
But when I missed you at 3pm, when the world was awake and I was surrounded by people
It was only then that I realized...
It's always been you

We may not experience eternity
But thank you for the time you spent with me

Missing Puzzle Piece
Ysa Pa Aug 2015
A puzzle and its tiny pieces
With little details and creases
Fitting perfectly to the right parts
Creating one whole piece of art

Puzzles can be quite a handful
It's fragile yet still  beautiful
It's time consuming and requires attention
From beginning up till completion

Remember that each piece is vital
To lose one is highly crucial
No two pieces are the same
Each has its own part to claim

Emptiness of one piece filled by another
And careless mistakes that can make you start over
Once it's finished it can be put up for display
Or can be rebuilt again on another day

As I was completing my puzzle
I accidentally gave it a hard nuzzle
The pieces went flying all over
All that effort now just a blur

I started to pick up the pieces one by one
Wishing that they're still intact
Realizing that the puzzle is (still) undone
I hope I can get you, my missing piece back

I lied
Ysa Pa Aug 2015
We were happy
Then we weren't anymore
I got over you
I forgot the feelings of fondness
I buried the memories
I moved on
I let you go
I didn't talk to you
Didn't text you
Messaged or emailed you
Called you
Or met up with you
Heck, I didn't even think about you
You never crossed my mind
I forgot your little mannerisms
I removed your entire existence from my life
I was okay
I was coping up
I was healed
Or so I thought...
It was just a normal day
The usual everything
Then we accidentally bumped into each other
With your wide eyes
The usual smile
And with your voice
Through your lips
You uttered my name
Exactly how you used to
And just hearing the sound of your voice
Say my name
Everything
Every single thing
The tiniest details
Came gushing into me
Overflowing in my mind
Overwhelming my heart
And I lost control
I thought I forgot
No...
I wished that I had forgotten
But I haven't
I do miss you
Every little thing about you
And every tiny detail that makes you... You
I was okay
Or so I believed...
Nobody makes my name sound like how you say it
Who would have thought that just one random fateful second
Would send me back to square one
I will extract you from my life once more
And hope that I never hear you say my name again
I told you that i don't love you anymore
... I lied
Ysa Pa Aug 2015
A perspective clouded
By false belief
Hope that is shrouded
By grief
A haven that is crowded
By the unfeeling
A person that is doubted
By a scar that is healing
A promise for what's ahead
By a man whose words are dead
And a child who has been hurt
But still believes

Rain~
Ysa Pa Aug 2015
People see it as a symbol of distress
A sign of weakness
A representation of sadness
An equivalent to loneliness

But considering reality
It's full of irreplaceable memories
Wether happy or the opposite
It is full of life and spirit

These are songs from the sky
Hymns from up above
Rhythm from way up high
A manifestation of true love

Rain.
Pouring rain.

Unafraid of falling
Not frightened of crying
Willing to keep pouring
Real emotions are showing

When the world is overwhelmed  and can't take anymore
With the hatred and pain that humans store
It cries in our behalf
It tears up just enough

In order to wash at least part of our load
To make sure our hearts don't corrode
It releases our grief
And showers us with belief

Since the rain cries for our sorrow
Shouldn't we at least wear a smile, a beaming glow?
It weeps for us, to release our pain
The least we can do, is to smile in behalf of rain

Sayang
Ysa Pa Aug 2015
Habang ang oras ay dumadaan
Ako'y nag-iipon ng tapang sa katawan
Upang mailabas ang nadarama
At sa isang iglap, may himala
Tila naghelera ang mga tala
Na sa aking paghinga
Ang aking bibig ay bumuka
Sa wakas, nasabi ko na
Habang nakatitig sa iyong mga mata
Ang aking matagal na kinimkim
Ang aking kaisa-isang lihim
Ang matagal ko nang nais wikain
Ay narinig mo na mula sa akin
Ngunit bakit ganyan ang reaksyon mo
Natawa ka, na parang ako'y nagbibiro
At narinig ko mula sa iyong mga labi
Mga salitang hindi ko mawari
Para bang nawalan ng pag-asa
Dahil nung sinabi ko na mahal kita
Hinawakan mo ang aking kamay
At ang sagot mo lamang ay
Huli na, dati minahal kita
Pero ngayon, hindi na
Tapos bigla kang ngumiti
Sabi mo'y ako'y nalilito lamang, nagkakamali
Niyakap mo ako at binulungan
Hindi mo ako paaasahin, gaya ng ginawa ko sayo noong nakaraan

Have you?
Ysa Pa Jun 2015
That's it
It's done
It's over
I've buried my memories of you

I've forgotten the way you smile
I failed to recall how you laugh
I ceased to remember how you walk
I omitted the sound of your voice
How you say my name
Your scent whenever I wear your hoodies
How you play with my hand and with my hair
How you greet me good morning at 6:45am
Even though your aren't a morning person
How you never fail to say goodnight
How you tell your stories
How you like your coffee
How you hate to lose but let me win
How the windows of your soul focus on me

Who am I deceiving
I can't forget you
I don't want to but I need to
I haven't forgotten anything but I'm trying

How about you?
Have you forgotten us?
                                             *Or how I said goodbye?
Jun 2015 · 885
I hope you never find out
Ysa Pa Jun 2015
I tried to stop  but I couldn't
I know that I shouldn't
But I still do
I love you

Mahal ~
Ysa Pa Jun 2015
Gising na nananaginip
Sari-sari ang naiisip
At biglaang napagtanto
Paano kung hindi nahulog sa iyo
Paano kung Inibig mo rin ako
Paano kung tumagal tayo
Maraming katanungan
Mas maraming maaaring kahantungan
Ngunit hindi na malalaman
Ang mga masasaya sanang kahahatnan
Dahil ang "Tayo" ay pinigilan **** maganap
Pag-irog ng iba ang iyong hinanap
Sa ating paghihiwalay, ako ang mas nasaktan
Ngunit Mahal, ikaw ang higit na nawalan
Maaaring ikaw ay lumigaya
Sa piling ng iba, sa piling niya
At ako ang umibig ng lubos at umasa
Pero darating ang araw Mahal na
Magmamahal na ako ng iba
Higit pa sa pagmamahal ko sayo ang ipadarama
Mapagtatanto mo na lang
Bigla ka na lang manghihinayang
Wala nang magmamahal sayo
Gaya ng pagmamahal ko
Response to a request to write in my native tongue ^-^
Ysa Pa Jun 2015
Of all the men in the world
Of all the fish in the sea
Why you with a heart so cold
Be the one I want to see
Been busy lately hahaha but here's a stanza ^-^
May 2015 · 3.0k
Great Division
Ysa Pa May 2015
There will always be a great division
In this life full of intersections
The separation of the rich from the poor
The distinction from shoes to coiffure

The discrimination of races
The characteristics of faces
The gender inequalities
The life one lives spiritually

One's position in society
One's awards, medals or trophies
But what truly separates us all?
The crucial thing that determines one's fall?

The cause of life's great division
Is having sight but no vision
The ability to see real beauty
Makes men truly wealthy

Using time to make great memories
Learning from all the tragedies
Choosing to be happy at all moments
And to live a life full of contentment

There are the ones who have eyes but cannot see
The ones who can visualize the unseen
The ones who look beyond the horizon
The ones who appreciate all four seasons

The ability to see the same color in different hues
Is something that can never be sufficed
There are the ones who know the value
And there are the ones who know the price

Tadhana ~ Kismet
Ysa Pa May 2015
Mali pala ang nasa isip
Ito pala'y isang panaginip
Buhat mula sa maling akala
Na sakin ika'y tinadhana

My thoughts were not what they seemed
Turns out all this was just a dream
Brought upon by false convictions
That for us a red string was drawn

Ginising mo ako sa katotohanan
Na lahat ng bagay ay may hangganan
Pero kailanman ay hindi ako nagsisisi
Dahil totoo ang ating pagmamahal kahit sandali

You opened my eyes to reality
That things can't last for eternity
I have no regrets what so ever
Because we had a short but real happy ever after

Hindi ko lubos na pinahahalagahan
Ang walang hanggan
Dahil ang importante ay
Ang pagmamahal na buo at tunay

For me, the existence of forever
Doesn't really matter
What's important is
The realness of love amidst the adversities

Wala akong galit na ipadarama
O ganti na sana ikaw ay magdusa
Walang hinanakit na dinadaing
Kundi salamat sa pagmamahal habang ika'y nasa aking piling

For you, I have no rage to release
No vengeance to accomplish
No sorrow to let go
*But  for the love while you were mine, I only have gratitude to bestow
*~So I made this poem using my native language (Tagalog) and the italicized text is the english translation. I just realized that it has been a while since I last wrote a poem in tagalog.

Inked by the soul
Ysa Pa May 2015
Scribbling the pointed tip of a feather
Across the fleeting pages
As if the hand was under someone else's tether
The ink turning to uncontrollable rages

As if the semblance was trapped in a clink
The great facade turned futile
And with that momentarily blink
The genuine thoughts unshackled through doodles

Unlocking the cages
Honest words overflow
Crowding the pages
Inked by the soul
*~ how poetry allows the overflow of words from one's soul

Melancholic Nostalgia
Ysa Pa May 2015
The second you inhaled and walked through the halls
The minute you raised your head
The hour when you smiled and entered my life
The month of getting to know
The quarter of laughter and smiles
The year of fairytale
The lifetime of memories
The times we've shared
The wink of an eye that changed it all
The flash of life that made us realize
The instant we gazed upon each other
The moment we knew
The evanescent that ended it all
The lifetime of "what ifs" and "why's"
The year of pouring rain
The quarter of staring at the ceiling
The month of just trying to breath
The hour when you cried and bid farewell
The minute you bowed your head
The second you exhaled and walked through the halls again
May 2015 · 620
It just came to me
Ysa Pa May 2015
I've memorized the look of your back
As you held my hand, moving forward with life
I've memorized the look of your back
Letting go and leaving me, moving forward with your life
I'm supposed to be asleep by now hahah it's 3am where I'm from and I just can't get him out of my mind. How he looked walking away from me. I just stood there staring at him walk away. And now I'm staring at the ceiling and still seeing him walking away


Just wanted to share... Hoping that ill be able to walk away from the flashbacks

Perfect
Ysa Pa May 2015
A dream that existed in reality
Now lies only in my memory
A happy ending that never came
And I'm the only one to blame

Everything was perfect but in an instance
We woke up and grew distant
Everytime we meet, I receive this glare
So filled with hatred, so cold and without care

My heart is crowded with regret
Because of all the things left unsaid
Seems that you've had forgotten all the memories
He previous laughter,meow giving me tears

A dream lived in reality
Started and ended with you and me
Now that our dream was left for dead
I realize now what I should've said instead

All I wish to do is apologize
And hope to vanquish the anger in your eyes
I would do anything to once again see your smile
And remind you that we were perfect even just for a little while
May 2015 · 666
Finished
Ysa Pa May 2015
Glaring up the sky
Wondering how and why
Life just leaves things unanswered
Laughter was the only thing I uttered

Reminiscing the beginning
From something so special, now nothing
What was I doing?
What could I have been thinking?

All those precious words, now make no sense
Crying so hard, hoping my heart would be cleansed
How could I have been so dense?
My time was wasted on this "nonsense"

Now as this poem comes to an end
I learned my lesson that life sent
Move on and don't dwell in the past
And accept that my fairy tale finished at last...
May 2015 · 952
Greatest Joy
Ysa Pa May 2015
Life has many things to offer
The mistakes that make us better
The everyday that makes us wiser
The trials that prepare us for the future

The past to dwell on
The present to work on
The memories to treasure
The things that need closure

The grief that makes us stronger
The failure that makes victories sweeter
The dreams yet to come true
And the times I've had with you

The choices that made us to who we are
The reasons why we go so far
The sadness that made us hope
The joys that makes life a kaleidoscope

The joys that make the efforts worth it
The joys we can never omit
The joys that make life worth living
The joys that we dream of feeling

The joys that keep us moving
The joys that we keep on reliving
The joys I've hold on to
The joys I've shared with you

Sadly,
Life is a devious crime
Life didn't give us enough time
You were the greatest joy I ever had
You were the happiness that never was mine
Life gave us time to live under the byline
But life didn't let me call you mine
*I never even got to call you mine...
A happiness that was never mine to keep </3

This Typical Day
Ysa Pa May 2015
Just woke up
Feeling like crap
The regular routine
The usual scene

Dying of boredom
Feeling lonesome
Waiting for something catastrophic
Wanting to do something idiotic

Desperate for craziness
Hoping for some happiness
But I have no time to throw away
So I have nothing else to say

Having no excess time
To do good or to commit crime
Because everything flies so vast
Everyone else is moving really vast

Only looking forward
Only wanting the reward
What is happening to the earth?
Life is surely getting absurd

We should enjoy the journey
Live a little and be happy
So put a smile to your face
Do not look back to yesterday

Everyday is special
Things just don't happen twice
Don't waste time
Go on and roll the dice

Enjoy every moment
Make it monumental
Ignore the horrid comments
Make the day supernatural

Reach the unfulfilled plans
Grasp the impossible dreams
We can't until we admit
That were too afraid to break this habit

Just to conclude
I have one last thing to say
I have no time to look away
Just way too excited for this typical day
Feedback is highly appreciated and welcome <3

Estuary
Ysa Pa May 2015
A perfect love would be
An estuary...

People say if its meant to be
Then it will be

People also said that there's fresh and salty
Different waters... Different flows... Different tides

I want a love like an estuary
For you and me
A place where that river can kiss the sea
It doesn't matter whether fresh or salty
Whatever race, religion or country
If its real love, then it's meant to be
Traveling far and wide
In order to unite in one tide
Yes, most definitely!
I desire a love like an estuary.
Well I'm currently studying one of my classes and I find estuaries romantic because no matter how different the river and the sea are, they still unite.

Loudest Silence
Ysa Pa May 2015
The perfect romance
The overwhelming trance
Is such a scary state
For it can be negate

You were my home and my fortress
You were my dragon and I was your warrior princess
You were my thief and I was your jewel
*Back then... * Everything was mutual

Until

The flames stopped glowing
The fires desist from burning
The candle ceased flickering
Our love halt from growing

You lost that look, your warm stare
I no longer felt your loving care
We've grown apart while we were together
So much for that thing called "forever"

I knew that your love was gone
I felt that I was no longer the one
I decided to ask whether our love was fading
Hoping that I was just complicating

My eyes see what is real
My soul knows what you feel
My heart pleads for it to be untrue
My ears beg to hear the words "I love you"

As my lover didn't utter a word
*It was the loudest silence I've ever heard
"Silence is the loudest scream"

A part of me wished that he would lie and stay with me.

Special thankies to a good friend i call Mr. Footlong (Vincent) for making minor revisions <3

Just a little something
Ysa Pa May 2015
When we first said hello
It was unforgettable
It was awkward
It was real and magical

I looked at you
You stared back
We moved closer
And shakily uttered the first words
The first beguiling words of our relationship
Then we walked away
I looked back and waved
You were already staring

                                                                                    When we last bid farewell
                                                                                     It was unforgettable
                                                                                     It was awkward
                                                                                     It was real and detrimental

                                                                                     I was looking for you
                                                                                     You gazed at me
                                                                                     We moved closer
                                                                                     And shakily uttered the last words
                                                                                     The last agonizing words of our relationship
                                                                                     I looked back and hoped
                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                 ...But you didn't

Just some thoughts
Ysa Pa May 2015
Our goal isn't to last forever
It's create something that will
Something worth-it
That would remind others of our existence
That would impart our identity
That would explain our souls
That would carry the pieces of our hearts
And to symbolize that we have truly lived!

A Hello Once More
Ysa Pa May 2015
A greeting, a hello
From a man I do not know
A smile that was given
Followed by laughter over and over again

Overflowing messages, our life unfolds
Matched with unforgettable late night calls
And our random bondings and strolls
Friendship befalls

From tiny to immerse conversations
Turning into an unexplainable sensation
Creating memories, sharing souls
All the flashbacks are taking its toll

The inseparable bond now turned into dust
What happened to us?
The late night palavers
Are now in reverse

The usual meetings and get-togethers
Our little moments of happy ever after
Are sadly gone and over
All the fond memories, now just a blur

We used to talk when the sun was high and low
Now we can't even say hello
All our happiness turned to woe
I miss you, don't you know?

From hello
To laughter
To friendship
To love
To memories
To flashbacks
To absence
To pain
To strangers...
To hoping for a hello once more

A greeting, a hello
From a man I do not know
A heart that was given
Followed by flashbacks over and over again...

Stargazer

Dear little stargazer
Please look at me
I'm a star too
Can't you see?

Oh little stargazer
What are you looking for
Am I not enough?
Why must you want more?

Poor little stargazer
You seem down
Trust in me
I'll wipe away that frown

Tired little stargazer
I am here for you
And I promise that
I'll never leave too

Sweet little stargazer
Have a little faith
You have amazing talents
That no one can ever take

Listen to me stargazer
Learn to be content
With everything you have
For you they were all sent

My dear stargazer
The only thing I wish you to be
Is you to look at the mirror
And be happy with what you see

Wings
Ysa Pa May 2015
Heaven's feather
Grant me power
The strength to fly
And not to fall from the sky
The might to soar
The vigor to wander
In awe and in great splendor
Bless my feathers
Grant them power
Aid my wings to spread and roar
These feathers of the night
Open now, and and help end the fright
Lend your knowledge and might
Help spread the light
Wanting the path to be bright
Even though my heaven's feathers are wings of midnight
Sometimes we, wingless beings, just have to soar ^-^

Ysa Pa May 2015
Escape reality
Travel into fantasy
Whether make believe or relive a memory
All events are up to the vision you see
May it be a tragedy
A playful comedy
A heartwarming melancholy
An adventure enveloped with mystery
A cheesy romance
A hero going the distance
A wanderer finding what was lost
An unexpected individual fighting for what's just
A happy ending?
A tragic beginning?
Does it end with someone dying?
It can be about anything
Ink your thoughts and emotions
Turn those feelings into powerful creations
Use what is mightier than the sword
*Turn your heart and soul into words

If only you felt the same
Then I won't be suffering this pain
To you this is all just a game
And it's driving me insane

To be stuck with a love that will never be
Being alone with only me
Keeping all of this inside
Fearing that our relationship would collide

What if?
Ysa Pa May 2015
The what ifs that we ask
Are the things we had no courage to do...

I could have said hello
But I was scared
I could have said yes
But I was afraid
I could have stopped you from leaving
But I was terrified
I could have ran away with you
But I was appalled
I could have fought for you
But I was cowardly
I could have done something
But I was horrified
I could have hold on to you
But I was timorous
I could have made you stay
But I was frightened
I could have told you I loved you
But I was craven
I could have made you mine
But I didn't

**what if I did?
I read a quotation but I can't remember who said it... But it goes something like

We regret the things we didn't do...

And yeah... I really do regret doing nothing.

Jump
Ysa Pa May 2015
Standing at the edge of a cliff
People surround you

One tells you to jump

Another tries to convince you not to

Then there's a person who'll push you

There's another who'll try to stop you from falling,
By clinging on to your arm

There's a person waiting at the bottom of the cliff,
Waiting to catch you

Then there's the person
Whose the reason why you're jumping




And then...
There's an unexpected person
Who'll *jump with you
There are different kinds of people in your life... You just need to figure out who is whom.

This is something I realized after an incident... I just wanted to share ^-^

I smiled back (:
Ysa Pa May 2015
The galaxy
The stars
The planets
The earth
The continents
A country
A city
A crowd
A person in that crowd
A pair of eyes
A pair of eyes that were staring back
And *the smile that was given
The moment when our eyes locked...

A Few Requests
Ysa Pa May 2015
If you may give me permission
To ask and to give reason
I would gladly take the opportunity
To give me a bit of jubilee

As I do my best
To fulfill my quest
I only have a few requests
To my life's guests

It is not to treat me nice,y
Nor to treat me horridly
It is to treat me how they wish to be treated
Whether its with disregard or respect

If you treat me how you wish
Then I shall return the favor
But if you dare mess with me
Just imagine the resulting horror

If you are doing something
Wake it worthwhile
Whatever is happening
Put on a smile

Value each moment
Because all things end
Learn to love and to forgive
In life, good things must be conceived

Most importantly
Is to please remember me
Because I would never forget you
Even if time goes beyond infinity

The best and worst thing about pretending
Is that the lie gets so good that everyone believes it
And that you believe it too
A fake smile that seems so real that you don't remember what a real smile is

I'd Love
Ysa Pa May 2015
I'd love you every far, every moment, every night
I'd love you even if the sun doesn't shine
If love you even more, every time the moon passes by
I'd love you as much as the stars in the sky
I'd love you when you're up
I'd love you when you're down
If love to wild away that frown
I'd love you when you're far
I'd love you when you're near
I'm not leaving so there's no room for fear
I'd love to hold your hand
I'd love to take your time
I'd love to be the one
I'd love to call you mine


*If only you were mine...

Pending Title
Ysa Pa May 2015
Walking along a straight paved path
Underneath the autumn trees
As the amber leaves began to fall
I recalled when I first felt this breeze

Glancing upon the orange dyed sky
I got reminded of what has been
Memories of you and I
Which are better left forgotten and unseen

I continued strolling...
Not knowing where I might wander off
Then I saw an old tire swing
Where the melody of love first begun to sing

I went to the picnic grove
Where we had our first lunch
Remember how we watched the afternoon turn to nigh?
We were in so much trouble, but it felt so right

Remember our mahogany tree?
The one that's all alone but looks so happy
Do you remember what you told me?
You promised that I'm the girl you'll marry

Yes, we were young, childish and silly
But I kind of took it seriously
We were kids and eventually grew up
I thought what we had was more than enough

Like our love the paved path didn't go on forever
I reached the end where our dreams withered
Strolling, the last stop I made
Was at the garden of lilies where all the promises had fade

I journey back on the path...
The path we used to walk on together
It felt a lot colder
And somewhat warmer

To cut it short, we didn't walk forever
We realized in the end we were on different roads
Now that my flashback is over
I walk the same path again with a new hand to hold
Well what I realized is that... It's alright if you and your significant other are walking on different paths. What matters is that both of you are looking and are heading towards the same direction ^-^

From a Distance
Ysa Pa May 2015
His blackish hair
His deep eyes with that devilish stare
That crazy smile that I can't forget
This empty feeling knowing he would never care

A person I can't seem to ignore
A guy that made me sore
That happy fellow that no one could possibly despise
And the only reason behind my sighs...

I know the little things that make him laugh
I know how he looks when his day was rough
I know when he's just acting all tough
And I know that I'm not the one he'll love

To him I am probably invisible
Someone replaceable and dispensable
But for me...
He's the only one I ever see

I notice every tiny detail that he is
Those little things that make me feel like this
If only he fell for my smile like I did for his
Then everything would be in a state of bliss

He's the reason I wrote this, my inspiration
To think it all started when he smiled at my direction
And ever since that instance
I started *loving him from a distance
On the verge of getting there
I ALMOST made it...

This Way
Ysa Pa May 2015
I have no idea what I'm doing
I'm clueless on what's happening
I only know one thing with certainty
It's that you were supposedly  my infinity

From the moment you walked through that door
I knew that there was so much more
As soon as you said hello
I looked forward to our tomorrow

Months passed, we grew close
We knew each other from our head to our toes
The more time spent with you, the more I fell
I guess I was under your spell

I managed to decode your complicated pieces
And one of the things I realized is
You needed a hand to hold through life's disasters
A best friend and not a lover

You needed a wall, you needed a shoulder
Someone to lean on anytime and whenever
You said I gave you strength and power
And that you see me as a sister

That pained me in more  ways than one could imagine
In reply, I gave you a warm grin
I was your friend, a sister and nothing more
But you are the gallant knight I adore

Accepting that we would never be more than friends
And since I don't want our bond to end
Even if it's hard for me to say...
Dear best friend, we are better of  *this way
Even though I was able to write this... I can't seem to bid farewell to my true emotions for him....

First Time
Ysa Pa May 2015
A little moment of joy
A feeling of bliss
Being absolutely happy
Nothing can ever replace this

A time of unexplainable emotions
Surpassing all known conditions
This precious feeling
Contentment with the life you're living

Making the hardships seem like nothing
Time gets suspended because of this one thing
It is a dream in reality
A first that can make anyone happy

As exaggerated as this poem is
It contains a hint of truth
This happiness brought to a person, as it seems
Is happiness of a child's first taste of ice cream
I just watched as my baby cousin devoured her first ice cream <3

TO
Ysa Pa May 2015
TO
To fake a smile
To make things seem worth while
To force a laugh
To blend with the riffraff
To act so tough
To bluff
To be carefree
To seem happy
To motivate
To hold on and wait
To fight
To shed some light
To put on a mask
To remove the casque
To keep this act going
To keep on moving
To hold back the tears
To face the fears
To leap
To dive deep
To wander
To let things squander
To get lost
To prevent an emotional exhaust
To put aside the memories that we shared
To add more words
To keep acting like a third


ARE ALL SO EASY

Than...

To accept
And
To forget...

That you and I
USED to be a *we

Paper Life
Ysa Pa May 2015
There is an object lying on my desk
Something so simple yet so picturesque
Whose value tends to be forgotten
With a purpose wasted over and over again

With the help of tools, it's radiance flows
With a bit of aid, it will surely glow
Often, the results are better than we know
But if left untouched, it would be hollow

An empty space, a blank canvas
Utilized properly, it would surely surpass
All the expectations and the doubts
Grab it now  and let your identity sprout

May it be an artwork or literary
A musical score or a piece of origami
A sheet of paper, no matter how small
Can make a difference for us all

Something so thin and so plain
Offers numerous experiences we can attain
Take advantage of the entire blank space
Let us put our imaginations in replace
I randomly wrote this while staring at a blank bond paper on my desk ^-^

I was supposed to make a report for some school subject but I ended up realizing the importance of paper and how it's somewhat related to individuals searching for identities...

— The End —
