Lovely cherry blossom tree,
I want to see you
Blooming with pink perfection;
Give me happiness
No other could bring.

When we feel sorrow,        
When we've gone through unbearable pains,
When we're already on the verge of giving up,
When our hope was lost,
Always try to remember
The very reason why we struggled;
Our purpose and our dreams;
That would give us the strength
We need to carry on and still pursue.
These challenges and hardships will soon pass;
We must not see them as hindrances  
But rather tools to make us stronger
And to bring the best out of us.

Sunrays kissing my bare skin
Heat waves through by body
This would just mean
It's summer already.

No more stressful day,
I can go out and play    
Or just all day be at rest;
Truly, summer days are the best.

Even the most beautiful flower
Needs to be daily showered with water
For it to grow lovelier
Or else it will wither.

Just like our dreams and aspirations,
We need daily inspirations
For us to keep going
Or else our hearts will stop hoping.

Sometimes I want to shout as loud as I can
But still preferred it with a pen
To release all these emotions I'm hiding
And for me to have something worth doing.

In life,
It is essential
That you learn
How to be strong enough
To let go;
And wise enough
To wait
For what you deserve.

Perfect way
To celebrate
Birthdays
Is to spend it
With the ones
You love most.

When in the midst of decision making
For me, is a season of lamenting
'Coz it always appears confusing
Not sure where my thoughts are heading.

Every girl like me dreamed to have a prince charming,
Who will treat me as his princess.

I want my prince charming to be -
Handsome,
With really cute smile;
And when I'm walking with him in the mall
Other girls couldn't stop staring at us,
Wishing they have a prince like mine.

I want someone who sings well,
He'll write songs for me
And keeps on serenading me,
Making my me blush all the time.

I'm quite a tall girl,
So he must be at least 4 inches taller than me.
So that even though I'm on my stilettos,
He would still stand tall.

But as I grew older,
I realized that my childish imagination of my prince charming has changed;
Just a decent-looking guy is enough,
I no longer care if he sings well;
I'm no longer too particular of his physical appearance
'Coz I realized
That what's inside his heart is what matters most.

Now, what I want is a sweet guy,
Who will turn ordinary days to special ones,
Keep on surprising me
Making me always happy.

I want to have someone who -
Will genuinely love me;
Is trustworthy;
Will get my family's approval and respect them;
Is a God-loving one;
Will truly care for me;
Is dependable;
Will be true to me;
Will accept me for who I am really;
Will always be there for me.

Whoever he will be,
I will love him for eternity.

Once upon a time I met Mr. Dream Guy,
When our gazes met, I saw the twinkle in his eye;
In an instant we have been so close,
He's always there to sweep out all my woes.

Being with him is like living a story in fairytale,
He makes me happy each day without fail;
He has this remarkable kindness
He had stolen my heart with his gentleness.

Then one day I met another
His name is Mr. Lover,
With all the courage he had, he told me he likes me,
By that time I felt my heart skipped a beat 'coz it really shocked me.

He makes a lot of effort to show his sincerity to me
Done this and that to make me so happy,
As time goes by our closeness was build
With his sweetness my heart has been filled.

Now, a dilemma is what I'm facing;
Between those two, to whom do I have a stronger feeling?
Who should I love?
Whose presence does my heart wanted to have?

Here I am wandering,
Wishing to see you shining
To give me happiness
To take away my loneliness.

But then when I started gazing
All I see is nothing
Coz there was no you;
By that moment, I feel blue.

But still, I kept on waiting
While fervently wishing and hoping
Until I saw a little shining light
And I know it is you, brightening the night.

Beating,
Drumming,
Rolling,
Jumping,
Spinning,
Dancing.
That is how my heart behaves
When I am so close to you.

I want an escape from my reality
And live in my fantasy
But I ended up drowning in miseries
Coz I was overcome by my worries.

Walking,
Any path I am taking;
Where to go?
I still do not know.

Thinking,
Random things coming out  
Til my head starts spinning
Making me wanna shout.

Direction,
I think is what I need
And do things with caution
To have a better and happier life indeed.

I am a grass.
Even if someone stepped on me,
Tried to crush my hopes,
Or wished to burn me in misery;
I just grow back
Even stronger
And greener.

In the stillness of the night
The stars are shinning bright
But it is the moon
I have been longing to see, soon
For it holds the beauty
That I will adore for eternity.

Above all else,
Guard your heart
For it is
The wellspring of life
And the most fragile thing
You could ever have.

Words cannot express
How happy I am;
Seeing my dreams
Turning into reality;
With each little steps I take,
I am achieving my goals;
Every effort and time spent -
None of them ever wasted;
Everything that happened
Lead me to where I want to be,
To where I am right now.
And I know,
I still a have long journey ahead of me,
Opportunities laid before me,
Successes awaiting to be attained,
Triumphs waiting to be celebrated,
Victories awaiting to be won.

Wash me with your love
Let it bubble with passion
Mend my broken heart
Help me make a new start.

Pour your warm gentle words
Let them heal my wounded soul
Cleanse me inside out
See what is still left of me.

Pat me dry with your embrace
Wrap your arms all around me;
Hold my heart gently,
Stop it from bleeding;
Kiss away my tears,
Stop my eyes from crying.

Wash away my pains from the past,
Fill in all the hollowed parts of me,
With your love,
Let me be renewed.

Several years have passed
Thinking I'll get used to this-
Living without you;
But that idea was foolish
'Coz I'm still missing you;
I realized that I'm still longing,
Even craving for a father's love and care.
Whenever I go to malls and parks,
I envy those girls-
Especially those who are at my age,
Who are having a good time with their dad.
I envy those sweet smiles,
Those laughters.
I remember my days of yore
Those times during my childhood-
We'll go to malls,
Carrying me in your arms
When I feel so stubborn to walk,
We'll have so much fun
Together with mama and my little brother.
I used to be your little girl,
Doing everything to make me happy;
Treating me as your little princess
In our little castle
Where you are the king
And mama is your queen.
I missed those times-
Those moments when we are one happy family
Filled with so much love for each other.
Now...
Here I am,
Just reminiscing those days-
How perfect our life was;
Recalling everything
'Til my tears come rushing down my cheeks
Knowing that we could no longer be like that again,
Knowing that having you back
Will only happen in my dreams.
Despite of the hurt and pain you made me feel
When you left us,
I forgive you,
I left no hatred or anger in my heart to you
Because I still do love you, Papa
And I'm really longing for your love.

I'm ready to fall

But will you be there to catch me
Or will I just hit the ground
And shatter into pieces as I fall?

I'm ready to fly

But will you fly with me
And soar up high in the sky
Or you'll just let me fly away?

I'm ready to give us a try

But will you still let me,
See if we are meant to be
Or have you already been tired of waiting for me?

I'm ready to live

But will it be happiness that you'll bring
And let me feel loved
Or will you let me live while dying from a broken heart?

I'm ready to learn

But what will you teach me?
Will it be how to love with all my heart
Or how to move on and forget the love of my life?

I'm ready to lose it all*

But would you be there to complete me again
And let me feel like I haven't lost at all
Or will you be the one that I will lose?

Together, lets run
In this wicked world, we will seek fun;
Hold my hand and never let go
Together, we will be undefeated against any foe;
Celebrate what we have
Let us grow in love;
Some days may be tough
But together, we are strong enough;
We will not just sit and mope
Together, we will be able to cope;
Do everything with all our might
Let our love be our guiding light.

When will I learn?
I am always deceived;
How would I be able to determine what is true?
Why am I always the one losing?

Your words, I hold on dearly
Believing that what you feel for me is genuine
I thought your love for me was for real
But in the end I realized I hold on for nothing.

If I could just turn back time,
I would refrain myself from falling for you
To save my mind from going crazy,
To save my heart from this unbearable pain.

Hindi na nadala, hindi na natuto
Lagi na lang akong naloloko
Paano ba malalaman kung alin ang totoo
Lagi na lang ako ang talo.

Nanghawak akong mabuti sa iyong mga salita
Pag-ibig na tunay, yan ang aking inakala
Sa iyo, ako'y umasa,
Umasa lamang pala ako sa wala.

Sana hindi na lamang nagmahal
Kung alam kong hindi rin pala magtatagal,
Puso sana'y hindi ngayon nasasaktan ng ganito
*Isip sana'y hindi tuliro.

We were once strangers
Merely passing by each other
Not noticing one another
Each presence does not seem to matter.

Now every second matter
Where you are and where you've been
My heart echoed to your beating heart
Our souls intertwined fate from within.

It happened fast
But I want to make our love last;
You made me believe in forever
You melt the ice that once froze my heart.

No more lying stagnant with remorse
You brought me back to life
Now I'm stronger than before
With you by my side
Nothing can go ever go wrong.

My days of yore may be clouded with sadness
But now you filled it with happiness
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.

Sweetness is detrimental
When it is too much
Limit your intake
To save yourself from any future ache.

Sweetness is detrimental
When it is too much
Eating more sweets
Make you prone to diabetes.

Sweetness is detrimental
When it is too much
Chocolates and cakes
Could cause toothaches.

Sweetness is detrimental
When it is too much
A hug and a kiss
When gone, you would badly miss.

Sweetness is detrimental
When it is too much
When your lover left you
Heartaches will torment you.

Sweetness is detrimental
When it is too much
It has been your sanity
When gone, you'd go crazy.

Sweetness is detrimental
When it is too much
Have a limited intake
And you will not have any future ache.

Don't be fooled by words;
Many can say the words "I love you"
But only a few
Can make efforts to prove that they really do.

In this wicked world, she sojourn
Facing every hardships and pains
Continuously, she endures
Hoping that one day all those will soon pass.

People tried to pull her down
But she remained still and tough
Life goes on no matter what,
She will be strong happen what may.

This world may be cruel
But she will not give up;
With a courageous and strong heart,
She will fight until the very end.

Ang mundo'y pawang puno ng hinagpis
Mga suliranin, laging nararanasan
Walang nagawa kundi ang magtiis
Nananalig na lahat ay kayang malampasan.

Hinahamak man ng iba
Hinding hindi siya magpapadala
Tuloy ang daloy ng buhay
Magpapakatatag siyang tunay.

Madilim at magulo man ang mundo
Hindi siya susuko
Lalaban ng buong puso
Magpapatuloy hanggang dulo.

Once upon a time,
There was me and you,
We were each other’s half –
A perfect match.

As I lay my head on your shoulder,
You wrap me in your arms;
Our hands entwined
Sharing sweet laughters.

All those moments we spent together
We decided to make it last;
My hope of our forever
Will be up high til' we turn to dust.

When you decided to love me so,
My heart was ever glad;
You and me just like that…
Inlove... Unified.

You
are
the
missing
piece
to
make
my
puzzle
com­plete.

It keeps on reminding her of him
So she burned it
And as it slowly turns into ashes
She feels the burning inside her heart too
suffocated by the pain
Of losing him.

She knows it would take
A lot of time
And courage
But hopefully
She can start anew.

That burning feeling
Will soon pass.
In time,
Her heart will recover,
She will be able to move on
And look ahead
For she believes
Something better is coming.

Leaves aging gray covered with dust,
Iron losing its will to cope up with rust,
Flowers withered losing their lust,
And the hope pulverized by the broken trust.

Days swiftly passing by like a river flowing
To those memories from the days of yore they are holding,
With mournful souls they are living
Each passing day feels like dying.

Not much do they have, still surviving the wave,
Crawling their paths, on which the traces will engrave,
Swallowing the curse and exhibiting the traits of a brave,
Succumbed to temptation, still prolonging their grave.

Holding on to what is still left of them after being broken
With bruises all over - purple and swollen,
Hearing those painful words that remained unspoken
Their hearts lost, stolen.

As love never fades, but grows each season,
People do change, for love is the reason,
It reigns in any region,
*A salvation emerging, shining like a beacon.

In this world run by lies
Learn to be wise;
Some may look nice
But they may be otherwise.
Sounds innocent when they speak
But it may just be all part of the trick;
Dare not to believe
Coz their inner motive is to deceive.
