Hello, me
Zelyn Nov 2021
It has been awhile,
hello again! my poet side.

I almost lost the power,
to write again all my sufferings and desires.
I have been spending most of the time in the shower,
fighting demons and letting out plaintive whimper.

Oh! I have missed this!
Leaving pieces of my soul in a writing.

Little to Nothing
Zelyn Dec 2020
I have now fathomed the great fondness
I felt for you,
It was the beauty of your soul that I have seen
through those delicate luscious green eyes
that glowed and captivated me.

Sorrowfully, I can tell
It was not my soul you desire,
not my dark brown boring sad eyes.
You don't want me and that is fine,
I'd rather look at you from afar
than have your little to nothing affection
just to consider you mine.
uhhh

Broken Soul
Zelyn Nov 2020
When the darkness covers the earth, I remain awake.
The pouring chilling rain along with the feelings I could no longer take.
When the moonlight shines for the lonesome to conversate.
When the stars are the witness of the tears I form as a lake.

How desperate my soul can be?
Mending the pieces of a broken me,
hiding behind false facade,
marred by the one whom I had.

If you're not willing to
reciprocate the type of love
I have to offer,
That's fine,
But please,
do not attempt to make me
feel as if I'm doing something
wrong by loving you right.

-Pierre Jeanty
Sharing Jeanty's poem! Not mine! :) Check him out on facebook he's a great poet!
Zelyn Oct 2020
I've been writing for as long as I could remember,
my hand have never felt weary,
pen's have never run out of ink,
but it seems that my heart's turning cold slowly,
with each stroke and curve it started to shrink.

How could I write when all I feel is numbness?
When every single part of me is a complete mess?
I would never lift my pen if I don't mean it,
I would never disrespect poetry like that.

So tomorrow, I've decided to write my last piece,
and I don't think I'd probably miss,
for when tomorrow comes I'll read this afresh.
Errrrr

Zelyn Oct 2020
I was not confident to write a poem before,
being bothered by my grammatical errors,
but still, I never ceased to write,
considering my fervent love for poetry,
has taught my emotions to be free as it could be.

There is No Forever
Zelyn Oct 2020
Because
if I were
to believe
in forever
then
I will be
forever
alone.

Finally at Peace
Zelyn Oct 2020
I have countlessly dreamt,
I have unboundedly imagined,
That the day would come,
when you're truly gone.
But never did I expect,
the way you took your last breath,
At rest on my lap,
head up above,
Searching for my eyes,
looking within as to how my heart cries.
I never understood the language of grief,
until I've lost the butterflies out of my grip.
Oh its been a year and also two,
when both of you bid farewell,
the clouds turned grey, the shadow reigns.
But never have I let myself drown in despair,
for I truly know you have finished your race,
Awaiting for the promised life beyond compare,
Where the chosen one's will meet each other once again.

I DO...
Zelyn Sep 2020
I see it.
The way those eyes sparkle through the pitch dark room.
The way those glistening jewels were filled to the brim with tears.
The sound of a gut-wrenching sobs you're trying to contain.
Indeed, the sound of silence is so bittersweet,
even when nothing is heard everything is seen.

I get it.
The exhausting, numbing, consuming pain, you're no stranger to it.
A feeling that could never decipher, nothing seems to make sense of it.
You were just as lost as the ocean around you,
As empty as the space you're staring to.

I know it.
You're a fighter who knows when to surrender my dear,
Everything's going to be alright, there's nothing to fear.
Resting your weary heart is an act of bravery,
You're worthy of being love so deeply.

In those vivid scars, it is where flowers will bloom,
And no one deserves to indulge in your petals if they cannot embrace your thorns.

The Irony
Zelyn Jun 2020
Happiness is not an outcome but it's a journey we must walkthrough,
We all desire to be genuinely happy,
To love and be loved,
To hold and be held,
And we know pain is the price of love,
We agree to pay it when we start opening our hearts,
We know that every hello comes with the knowledge that one day there will be a goodbye,
Every first kiss comes with the certainty that there will one day be a last,
Even if we know that love ends painfully and full of sorrow,
Despite knowing the price we still pay it, over and over again.
We pay it for we believe that it makes our life worth living,
And because love is always worth it.

Aking Isusulat
Zelyn May 2020
Ang nadarama'y isusulat,
Gamit ang aking plumang tanging panulat,
Sa bawat pagguhit ng letra,
kailanma'y hindi na magtataka pa,
ang pagsabay ng luhang pumapatak,
sapagkat ang puso'y may lungkot at galak.
Ang tangi lamang mithiin,
ay madama mo rin,
ang mga tulang isusulat na sa aking puso nanggaling.

When...
Zelyn May 2020
When sweetdreams turned into nightmares,
When every parts of you begins to shatter,
When your tears flows down like a river,
When the stars no longer shimmers,
When hope can be found nowhere,
Remember that there's someone out there,
Who will always genuinely care.
💜

Trapped
Zelyn May 2020
Stucked in my head,
Tears flowed from the pillow to the bed,
Alone with my thoughts again,
Trying hard to break this chain,
Still running and begging for help,
Even if I can't run from myself.

Heart was hardly beating right,

Believer
Zelyn May 2020
There are times that frustration and fear predominate us,
turning smiles of joy into tears of sorrow.
Life in this world comes with grief but a true Christians do not drench themselves in misery.

Maimed life,
Broken friendship,
Cruel society,
Regretful decisions,
Shattered dreams.

Hurt
Zelyn May 2020
Who broke you and made you desperate on finding someone that could fix your shattered heart again?
Who would you be if you didn't have anyone to love?
What did you lose to make you chase love so much?

Dark and Uncertain Future

If what we hope for is a kinder, gentler world, then we will be utterly disappointed.

I'll Choose You
Zelyn May 2020
I'll choose you,
even if I have to walk through the storm.
I don't even mind being soaked in the rain.
I'll endure the deafening thunders
and the sight of lightnings before me.
I'll carry your teardrops
until your clouds fade;
I will hold you
until the last rain.

Blindfolded
Zelyn May 2020
Was she desperate?
Like a fragile glass her heart is,
So transparent of what she feels,
She feels like she was...
In a wide landscape of forlorn,
Holding a rose with full of thorns,
Looking for diamonds in the dirt,
Lost in an aesthetic place where she never fits.

She was hurt but she adored him,
She have learned to love the pain,
After all, she has felt pain greater than love in her life.

Blindfolded with rejections and lack of appreciation,
But still she chose to stay.

Was she desperate?
She was.
I really find it hard to think of a title. Thank you @themisunderstood for helping me again!

Dance
Zelyn May 2020
I used to dance, yes,
In front of a crowd, I couldn't care less.
A poem in which every movement is a word,
and each motion is an emotion shared.

But everything has changed,
when I started to listen to the painful remarks backstage.
A wave of embarrassment,
everything became an impediment.

Seems like they're slowly pinning me down,
all the confidence had just drowned,

and so I stopped dancing around.
I love dancing! I still do but not as often anymore!

No One
Zelyn May 2020
Staring at a blank space,
Physically tired,
Mentally awake,
Lost in your own facade world,
A perfect escape from reality,
A place where no one can hurt you,
No one can judge you,
No one can make you cry.

No one, but yourself.
Thanks to @themisunderstood for helping me with the title and inspiring me to write this poem!

— The End —
