Blissful Longing
Teressia Feb 2017
we both have something in the care of our hands
but we will never share,
because somebody is a little too selfish,
It's either you or i,
and am not close to sure who?
if only that river kiss becomes nothing in that dream
and becomes something in this reality we are so fearful off
somebody got to be responsible for breaking this wall,
that we both had part in building,
I don't know about you, but i want it down
I'm grateful for the sunshine,
but i am waiting to enjoy it with you
the flowers are still blooming in my heart,
and I'm not ready to let them wither,
but when time decides later, they will wither on their own
Its been too long and nothing seemed to change,
just more sleepless nights and more day time fantasies,
midnight and daytime fantasies that are too good for reality
I'm curious to how far you've hold up,
because years have gone by here and again,
And this is how far I've come...
I've fallen a little deeper, a little too much everyday
In my memory only stayed smiles and sweet laughters of love,
that we rejected to acknowledge
I still wonder why we put up the walls?
be it that we have the same stories that we never shared?
I think felled a little more, a little too much for love that never arrived
I'm afraid to let go of my butterflies,
because i'm afraid i might never get the same kinds from anyone
I'm keeping my garden flowerful, colorful and bloomy for a love that might never arrive!

Sometimes into Forever
Teressia Feb 2017
I was once told, "it's ok to not be ok sometimes"
but what  if sometimes becomes forever?

Thorns
Teressia Feb 2017
walked over thorns
and somehow made it, but with markings of left scars
a voice told me i wouldn't make it, and for longer than a second
i gave it serious thought
it consumed me, day after day, night after night
with every thorn i stepped on, it numbed a nerve in body
but even with numb nerves, i could still feel everything
it came in form of thoughts, people, and more i can't list or name
it made me question everyday, not in a sensible way
convinced me many things undeserving of trust
every step made my stomach coil, but without my own permission
i kept going, because i felt a promise
the world seemed upside down, every breath felt stolen
every smile felt wrong, waking up became a chore
sometimes time felt stuck, other times it felt out of proportion
only the hard questions with no answers circled the mind non stop
that promise came, i don't know who made it
i call it promise because it came, and i am living it now
just a glimpse of what depression felt like to me. to anyone suffering depression, have a little bit of hope, that is your promise.

Engraved image and word
Teressia Feb 2017
I've never stopped wondering since that summer
the summer you implied i was less
less than you, less than an average person, less than everything
i put forth my foot with love
but you took a step back
i never will know why, but i have assumptions to why
could have been you saw my short comings
more than you saw the human in me
i always wonder how the heart recovers to love again
when its been once or twice or more shredded to pieces
summer is a season i no-longer wait upon
particularly June,
because it reminds me of the day love told me i was less
and so one year past
the send went by
the third went along,
and an image and a word remained engraved
Teressia Feb 2017
love can be anything and everything
patients for waiting when it isn't time
betrayal if lied to
time if differences stand in the way
pain when not handled with all the care there is
wall is once betrayed
ego when walls aren't let down
dignity if handled with integrity
shame if not respected in the way it's supposed to be
living if everything flows in the right direction
friendship if fully accepted with everything that comes along
enemy if things head into opposite directions
selfish if selfishly withheld for the wrong reasons
forever if kept alive
inlove you will cry in pain that could rob you of breaths
inlove you will laugh a laughter that could be called forever

Cowardly Lover
Teressia Jan 2017
you said hello to her once, the very first time you met her,
and then something got over you and you never made it to be her friend,
she then decided to try and be your friend instead of you trying,
but even then, she failed because you weren't willing, it seems,
and so something beautifully breathtaking fell apart without creation
because you decided to become a cowardly lover who fed on other people's idea of what love is and so your lover walked away with your beautiful flowers that lit up with face when she smiles
and so because you wanted to be the Cinderella, you lost the princess
but then again you couldn't realized because you fed yourself surmises
that convinced you to be divine over her,
at least she tried it all, till her last goodbye,
which you failed to show up for, it was then she knew not to turn back,
and so you ended the story that could have lasted a lifetime of double heartbeats, just because you allowed people to make you a cowardly lover that you weren't to begin with,
and so to your dust, you will always remember her last traces that she left behind for you, if any.

You asked me to plead for something
Something that no one should ever plead for
And something was shattered in that moment, by you
But I kept a posture like a mirror, to let you know I've done my share.

I feel and have done enough, am not waiting on

Battle Field
Teressia May 2015
i want to make it possible
but everything just seems too impossible
somebody help me fight
the journey is taking too long
it's getting me weaker and weaker
somebody make me believe again
that i can break down walls
if only i could stop the world
if only i could reset time
the tears are quite bitter, how long
there's so much beauty, but i can't seem to have it
all the books/poems/stories i could have written if not...
all the friends i could have made if not...
all the hugs i could have given if not...
all the kisses i could have given if not...
i don't understand every single f*ing day
the numbness has stopped me
somebody explain things to me
when did i ever give my permission
i crushed yesterday and will be today and tomorrow too...
i don't know the difference between the days
no-matter how far i run away
the distance don't do any justice, pain still finds it's way
fighting demons both in the daylight and at dark
somebody tell me where hope is
am hopping someday i will find excitement
in tomorrow or breathing air
the impossibilities just tell me i shouldn't try
even if there had be motive of trying
i wouldn't know how...
can i make it through the nights, somebody promise
somebody help me fight in the battle field.

half blocks of love.
Teressia Mar 2015
how long should i dearly hold you in my heart
tell me, how long should i keep you a secret in my heart
there's this thing i have for you
tell me, tell me, how long, how long.
i can't remember exactly when this started
neither do i know how long it's gona continue
i have lost track of time now, that's how long it's been.
how long are you going to keep me a dreamer
it was interesting for awhile, but now it's just.......
i don't have a word for it.
just forever waiting for a never rising sun.
i guess this must be the love i heard of while i was still innocent
my imaginations weren't enough,
that you began to be my daily guest in my wonderful dreams.
how many times are you planning to let me fall
my heart only race for you, it had never gave up.
i wake up to find courage everyday,
to look for where your heart lies.
even when i don't want to, my heart keep a place for you.
there's this thing i have for you.
tell me, tell me, how long, how long.
can you help me find a way?
can we find a way together?
if this fate slips by, i wonder if you will know,
that my heart once belonged to you.
i see many stars in the sky,
but i can still easily spot which one is you.
how long are you planning to keep me a dreamer?
yes, yes i appreciate your presents,
but it's just the gap between that bothers me.

EVERY DAY LIFE
Teressia Jan 2015
if only we could stop the fears
and start doing what we were call to do
start living life as it is
doing the things we can
do best and start
sharing the love Jesus left for us
start living our dreams
without having not to please no one
but ourselves
share our stories and listen
to our neighbors stories
having not to always drink
from the tap
but also from the riverbank
allowing ourselves to laugh
every night when go to bed
and every morning when we wake up
the world belongs to all of us
so lets call it our universe
always live with peace
even without law enforcement
always forgive even though
not forgiven yet
share our gifts without judgments
learn to use our talents
for the right reasons and purpose
stop social networking via internet
and start social networking via reality
stop cheating our way through life
and start living our values and beliefs
stop hiding behind the curtain of fears
and be the first to scream out for change.

MORE THAN
Teressia Jan 2015
It takes more than just you-tube inspirational videos to start living sincerely
and more than just motivational quotes to start practicing our good thoughts
more than just good friends to start being one
more than just don'ts and dos from parents  to really start understating and learning
more than just our failures  and mistakes to start making the right choices
commitments, courage, faith, hope, willingness, wisdom, ambitions, goals, love.....is something that we have to cultivate on our own
giving up is decision only made when we don't have courage or when we lose hope
emptiness is a feeling only comes when we don't have faith or belief of our own
failure only conquers when we stop trying
fears only take over when we let them take over our deep thoughts
loneliness only takes over when we allow ourselves to become the enemy of our enemies
ambitions only come when we dare to dream no-matter the age
success only happens when we act and commit till the end.
learn to understand yourself. be true to yourself.

Just A Boring Story.
Teressia Jan 2015
some times i convince myself that my dreams about you are fading but the deadly truth shows up the following morning. i can some times wake up in the middle of the nights just to spare you some thoughts in my mind and some space in my heart, but when morning comes again i force myself to live in a denial just so i could get through the delight when my eyes are open. my nights were my only hope to escape, but then occasionally you started to flood my mind. i have learned to convince myself that i cold not be the only one this wide wild world, so i try to stay strong. i have fallen again and again for you and it hurts you have never considered catching me once. like you have started a story for me but you don't want to be part of the story.

how is it that i can write whole page of a fiction story
but not a school due report paper?

Learning Lessons.
Teressia Dec 2014
in this world we are given all kind of different reasons to live up to
we are taught many different things, facts, lesson to the point where we don't know which, or what to learn and believe
we are judged at an early age
that we learn and begin to judge too soon too early
when no one worries about us
we start to worry too much about ourselves instead of others
after out repetitive mistakes and failures
we start to question our knowledge, experiences, learning and wisdom
when life starts to become too difficult to live each day after another
we start to learn that life is a big one puzzle that can't be solved in aday
every day becomes a new day to learn and
we start notice our daily life lessons that go by everyday
some times our lessons repeat themselves over and over
until we catch a glimpse of them.

Superior Girl
Teressia Dec 2014
don't fall in-love with an ambitious girl
because she will always run after her ambitions instead of you
don't fall in-love with a feminist girl
because she will always win at anything against you
don't fall in-love with an independent girl
because you will never get to control her in anything
don't fall in-love with a smart girl
because she will always outsmart you a step ahead
don't fall in-love with a writer girl
because she will write out all your flaws if you ever break her heart
don't fall in-love with a singer girl
because her last song will be about how a bad *** you are
fall in-love with a poet girl
because she will rhyme out your greatness
before you even give up your heart to her.

ONE-SIDE
Teressia Nov 2014
i thought i will be ok
but only for a while was i
but now am clearly not
every time i draw out you smile
it made me realize i would never
draw out anyone's smile perfectly as yours
i go to bed every night avoiding
the deadly truth of me being in-love with you
it's so heart breaking to know
that there's something so call one-side love
it makes no sense that one person
has to hold those feelings that bangs
around inside a soul because there's no place for them
it's so painful to carry those feelings as long as they stay
one side love......where a person wants
to give away those feelings for free
yet no one wants to accept them
i always find something to like about you even in your walk
is it true you never even for once thought of me
even i try to move on over and over
but yet you are still the most handsome of all
you are the reason why i listen to love songs all night
i find beauty in your eyes, your voice
just like when a person is in love
i find no flaws in you at all
i still find it hard to believe
that the so called one-side love really exist
do you by any chance love me secretly?
do you by any chance have a secret picture of me?
only if you could put my flaws behind
we could have been the love birds now.

Mysteries of Everyday Life
Teressia Oct 2014
some day i will be the one to say no
i don't care if i was ever somebody to you
all i know is am somebody to myself
i will be somebody to somebody some days when time comes
i will never regret letting you be
i may have said something that drives you crazy every night
and i will never be sorry for that
admit one way or another
i still make you smile somehow
i don't like you, but i don't hate you
you claim to be hurt, sorry that wasn't my intention
i don't know if this is a poem or lyrics
but either way let it be, just one way to deliver a message
i don't resent you, but rather i pity you
i hope you don't resent me too in any way
you reminded me of the principle that,
not everyone in life will like you
or fall in-love with you
or be your friend
or be your enemy

Oh To Be A Child Again
Teressia Oct 2014
Oh To Be A Child Again...

Oh to be a child again

Oh to dance with glee

Oh to have no worries

And live a life carefree

To see fun in the shadows

A rainbow in the rain

A light amongst the darkness

And not to feel the pain.

To live with total innocence

And not know how to lie

To love with all your being

Until your time to die

To smile at every person

Whether rich or poor

To play out in the open

And not to close the door

To speak without the fear

Of saying something wrong

To sing without the worry

Of not knowing the song.

To live life to the fullest

To give each day its best

No worry of the future

Or failing in life’s test

See wonder in the smallest being

Beauty in a tree

Oh to be a child again

And live a life carefree.

A day was enjoyed
Teressia Sep 2014
It's been awhile since then
I don't know how
But each day gets better
I eagerly wait for tomorrow
Only if I could berry yesterday
Live today and say good morning to tomorrow
Laughter can never be wait on
Smiles should never be counted
If we already know the possible outcomes,
Let's never take risks
As my friend once said
Never walk into a fire with your eyes open
Unless if you are a fire yourself
I don't care how many I lose
As long as I have one dearly true one
I just hope we never see each others tears
Just one hello, and here we are
It's not worth it to walk into a pit
When you know, there's one ahead
Just country songs,  may be fire works,
I don't know myself this might not be for forever
But I am graciously glad for the time
I hope we hold on to each other, as long as we breath life
I don't know why and no reasons
But this is the only way I can go with friends
Am a bit scared each day
But am hanging in there, coz I know your names
So yea, this is all

this is time of my life
let me laugh
let me cry
i can go, i can stay
i deserve to smile
so do you
so whaterver we do
lets not ever cross each other's paths
dont take achance
life have never been so amazing
i guess  we can't wait for happiness
we have to live it
let me run
oh let me run
i will say i love you
be it a million times
i may not like you
but i will never hate you
do i make sense to you
my randomness is part of me
that's why you should never mind me
i always appreciate tea with no sugar
coz someone somewhere
has no sugar nor the tea
at the end of the day
i was given life
my own voice is all i ca listen to
i have no reasons
i'd like to keep it that way
i followed my shadow
it wasn't so bad after all
i have been the happy one all along
how could i not know.

I gat to find away to say am busy
Everyday is just another day to say good morning
Another day to smile
Another day to laugh
Another day to live
Rise with the sun
Shine with the stars
Sing with the birds
Grow with the trees
Time is indeed not enough
Above all the names
Your name is the only magic
As I am looking out the window,
I don't know how far the future is
But what I do know is,
Am in the present,  and I have it all
Some times time flies
Some times time stops
But either way,
It's worth experiencing life in every direction
Knowledge,  intelligence,  kindness, wiseness,  struggles, happiness,  hardship
And other facts you name
If we don't let ourselves experience
We won't know where to step in life
A hundred years from naw
May be these words  will turn around one person's life
That's why we should always share our knowledge even without knowledge

Wait for me

Nature lover
Teressia Jul 2014
just a garden of flowers
fresh cool air of new spring
Nature is hard to describe
but the feeling is easy and natural to take in
the blooming of flowers
the sound of bees
the scent of flowers
the smell of grass
the presents of trees
the flow of water in the river
beauty inside beauty is what i call it
you walk down the sidewalk
the clean wind blow into your hair
i get happy over all these
i dont know about you
happy to feel the presents of nature
that's why we should mind
how we live to no harm our nature
i appreciate the enthusiasm that
the birds add to the nature
if i could understand the language of birds
i could sing along with them.
