Monotone
Joaquin Nov 2019
feelings come and go
emotions fade
a heart once lovely
now all drained and tired

happiness?
excitement?
all those youthful feelings;
where did it all go?

black and white
day and night
the same old cycle
to fathom this monotone life.

Beneath my smile
Joaquin Sep 2019
i am calm;
i found calmness
in my own darkness

i am calm;
there's no turmoil
within this soul of mine

i am calm;
can you see me smile
for i hide no  lies

i am not;
screams & whispers
inner demons run rampant
for i bear no heart

i am just a hallow shell

Underrated You
Joaquin Sep 2019
I did everything,
I gave you everything.

Cant you see?
Just once.

Look at me.
And see me for my worth.

(not) Proud
Joaquin Sep 2019
every bit of achievements deserves a praise

i am Proud
Joaquin Sep 2019
i am proud
proud of the simple things you do;
proud that you got an A on your exam;
proud that you ace your quizzes;
proud that you got the right answer on your recitation;
proud that you got appointed to be the treasurer;
proud of your achievements;

i really am.


i am proud of the things you do that makes you, You.

Death Of Humanity
Joaquin Aug 2019
are we blind?

is it our mind;
perhaps our eyes

what we see is all but lies
for no one can see what lies ahead

a persons eye;
a door that leads to one's soul

are we blind?

perhaps we are
for humanity became a loss cause

promise
Joaquin Jul 2019
it's you and me for all eternity, as we sat by the porch we built, at the house we bought, we grew older face each problem hand in hand, as we raise our children at the same house.

it's you and me for all eternity for better and for worse, but why?why? did an eternity became so short, you left me alone, left me too soon my love.

i thought it's you and me for all eternity; until that faithful day when you died and left me behind. such cruel world, now its just me sitting at the balcony on the apartment we stayed in.

i climbed the railings at the balcony and stand tall.
"my love, its you and me for all eternity, for i'll never love again" a gentle breeze comes and i closed  my eyes, a whisper"it's you and me for all eternity"

start of spring
Joaquin Jul 2019
The first snow fall
Cold winds
White,pure and beautiful
A girl of crystal snow

How you laugh,
Your smile,
Snowflakes falls on your hair
As snow brushes your cheeks

Waking up in cold
Living in  your warmth
I am contented being with you
In this icy plain

Days we laugh
Moments we spend together
Slowly fading
Like a frost flower in full bloom

Blizzards,storms came
Standing still in the middle
Of everything  
Was us

Were standing on thin ice
One wrong step..
Im falling in deep cold water
Slowly freezing, frozen.

Cant move;
Frozen beneath
This icy lake
Cant resurface

Slowly falling,deeper
Darker and darker it gets
Everything’s a blur
Alas,I broke free

But its too late
Icy stares; cold hands
Gives me frostbite
Still I hold on

I kept on holding on
I gave you warmth
I gave my heart
Still,you stand there frozen

Ice melts
Puddles appearing
Tomorrow arrives a new beginning
And now you’re leaving

sunday morning
Joaquin Jul 2019
birds chirping
a gentle breeze
wind chimes dancing
the rustic but soothing
smell of coffee
as you sat there and enjoy
the bliss of a sunday morning

Trust.
Joaquin Jul 2019
Am I really one of them?
Is it really opened?
Am I even welcome?
Or is it just a lie?

A lie that I believed
To think I’d be deceived
For a door half opened, half closed
Not everyone can come in.

a choice.
Joaquin Jul 2019
Been running for the masses
Now alone in this darkness
Day in day out
Im running low

The fuels that burn
Now nothing but embers from the past
Slowly being carried away
Unto the great beyond

Memories seems distant
Nothing more but remnants
Of the love that never began
Now its too late to start

The end
Nothing can stop it
The pain; insufferable
Still, I stayed

to be with someone;
Joaquin Jul 2019
I gave you light
Led you to a path
Where you could see
The worth you have

I gave you eyes
So you could see
The spectrum of colors
In your monochromatic world

I gave you ears
To hear;
The melodies, the songs
The harmony in silence

I gave you a heart
To feel such emotions
Love, you will feel warmth
In the coldest times

I am blind, nothing to see
I am deaf, no music to hear
I am heartless
emotionless it may seem
But I’ve never been this useful.
Thank you

— The End —
