I saw you standing there
I know you cannot bear
With weary eyes and skin so dry
You looked down wanting to cry

You want to hide in unknown places
Kept running away from your fears
Covering up your ears
To the words you don't want to hear

Storming days suddenly passed
You didn't moved until the sunlight flashed
You looked up and surveyed the sky
Finally found a reason to smile

Brushes and paints can do a lot of pictures
Images inside his head that was once captured
It can speak for a million of smiles
It can reveal us thousands of lies

Even paintings has its own secrets
Hid by the one who passionately paints it
If we could dive through that canvas
We would know the story he wants to tell us

You would find her underneath the oldest tree
Paints on her hands; dreams in her head
Stroking stories she never told
Painting a world of her own

You would find her lost in the deepest part of her heart
Swaying under the sun in an open field
As the sunlight showers down her face,
Her heart drifts her away and away.

I thought of many pictures in my head
And in every book that I have read
I looked at the horizon
To look for an inspiration

I closed my eyes slowly
I skimmed images thoroughly
Then one light suddenly flickered
Like a giant glint of a light bulb

As I opened my eyes,
I saw a wooden table of mess
Mess made by used paints
Clutter from paintbrushes

Finishing a work of art
Is like fulfilling a life's half part
This is a story of my life
A story of an artist's life

When sun shines brighter
Like that smile on my face
In my joy, oh Lord
I’ll come back to You

When the noise grew louder
Like raging storm in my head
In the midst of my pain
I’ll come back to You

When days seems longer
Like a clock ticking slow
In the waiting, Lord
I’ll come back to You

When I feel tired and weary
Like a flower slowly fading
In my restless nights
I'll come back to You

In every season
Every moment and emotion
I’ll come back to You
Always, Lord. Back to You

I closed my eyes, leaned my back
Relaxed, unwind, and lids locked
Suddenly, I opened my eyes
We were running away from fires

Eagerly holding his hand
I was afraid and terrified
He looked at me giving the bravest smile
"Honey stay with me, you'll be fine."

I blinked half a second...
We're inside a building left undone
Grunge, old, and sad
Something has been chasing us

A huge thing, a dauntless thing
Is it a wolf? No... It's a beast
They are increasing, expanding
Approaching, my heart is fast beating

This guy holding me never lets my hand go
With him by my side, I know what to do
The run never ends, the pant never stops
I closed my eyes, ran fast and then hopped!

My eyes were opened, he was beside me
It's a light cool dawn, I've been in a terrifying sleep
I continued leaning my back on a soft, white sheet
Stared at the window, what a dreadful dream!

Every day you wake up
Same strange and heavy feeling
In the midst of the crowd
You see yourself floating

You extend your hands
But there is nothing you can reach
You stand on your feet
But the ground is nowhere to be seen

You find yourself hiding
Because your heart is hurting
Look up, my dear and see He’s just waiting
To give a love you have been missing

Always there to reach your hands
And give your heart a rest
Always there to help you stand
And lighten up your way

Every day you wake up
Same strange and heavy feeling
But as soon as you look up
You see His love shining

I am a book
Unfinished book
I'm not done writing
I'm still dreaming

I am a book
You are the reader
God is my author
Friends and family are contributors


I am a book written with happiness
Words, thoughts, and flying dreams
Written with never-ending simile
Expressed metaphorically

I am a book, hidden story
Flip the pages and see a lady
Obscured, concealed, covered
Just waiting to be read.

In Your eyes, I am beautiful
My face shines Your light
My smile paints Your kindness

In Your mind, I am worthy
My fractured life is fixed
My broken heart is healed

In Your heart, I am loved
My works no longer counted
All I am now is about You, my God.

Hold me tight and don't ever let go
Smile at me and let the feelings flow
Hug me still until your eyes and mine glow
Dance with me and our hearts will show

The true place where we belong
Honey, our love is strong
We will be living happily
Forever just you and me

When mornings are dark
Let Your light shine down on me
Show me the way
Lead the path I'm taking

When days are cold
Let Your warmth cover me
Comfort me,
Embrace my tired broken heart

When life feels dull
Let Your bright sun glow
Smile on me
Fill my empty soul

Maybe it’s just a little room, small and narrow
But inside the four rough walls, a heart grows
Each corner filled with images and colors
From a little girl who just love to draw

As the sunlight peaks from a little window,
Warm breeze from outside softly blows
She hums a tune and dance around
From the music of peace, she had dearly found

Close those tired little eyes
Calm the storms inside
Mute all the loud noises
Rest your exhausted little head

I think I finally found
An extraordinary feeling
Like a melody softly beating
A smile on a Sunday morning

It's lovely, sweet, and glad
Like a scent of orange trees
Landscapes of blue and green
Aroma of a sugary treat

This feeling I will cherish forever
A shining love like no other
A love I found only in your heart
A love says you and me will never be apart

Morning sunlight
Summer breeze
Warm wind
Makes me smile

Strong coffee
Tasty breads
Sweet aroma
Makes me smile

Calm music
Quiet tunes
Serene melody
Makes me smile

Little things
Lovely mornings
Peaceful mind
Makes me smile

The greatest feeling I've ever felt
Is to wake up with you on my left
Staring at your handsome face
My heart is on ablaze

I watched;
As the sunlight glimmer at your cheek
You pink lips moved slightly
I touched your nose carefully

You woke up
And smiled at me, hugged me tight
Sunlight danced through the blinds
Hot brewed coffee, tasty fried rice
Mornings with you feels just so right

Our song is brighter than the sun
Our dance is cheerful as fun
Our hearts are better together
Our love is differ from other

They can mock you
They can hurt you
Life will never be easy
People can be scary

But they cannot break you
Nor can torn you
In everything  you've been through
There's one thing you can do

Problems will leave
People who's positive
Life must go on
Just put a smile on

I used to draw an angel when I was young
Imagining that she was flying so high
A little girl with wings same as hers
Following the angel everywhere
The little girl keeps on flying
Quickly, eagerly, ambitiously
A strong wind strikes the girl
Causing her to nearly fell

She looked where the angel was
She sees nothing but dust
From dust is a shadow of a bird
A sweet soft voice speaks in her head
"Don't cry, just keep on trying,
Fly high, soar high, don't stop on dreaming."
The girl got the urge flying back to the sky
The angel flew with her with pleasing smile

As I look closely on my drawing
I was the little girl, wandering
Infront was the graceful angel
Telling me not to stop flying

She loves to sing when no one can hear
She sings, “Hello!” to the sunshine
She lights up the stars of night sky

She sings when garden blooms
She hums when sorrow looms
She sings her pain away
She sings her love today

I remember that morning
As we walk side by side
Down the long street of Annapolis

You'd sing me a dear song
"There's no one like you"
I'd look at you and smile
Then you'd smile at me too

I'd listen and feel every word
Every note is sweet to my ear
Every melody makes my heart wants to sing
"Yes, there's no one like you."

You light the way when I walk in dark alleys
You direct my path until there’s nothing left to fear
You built me up with all my shattered dreams
You are there to listen when I think no one can hear.

You are the strength when my heart is weak
You are my rest when I’m tired and sick
You’re by my side when I think no one will stay
You hold me still when I felt like walking away

You are my home when I don’t think I belong
You gave a love I desired for so long
You are the tune that turned my life into a song
You alone o’ Lord, I will praise forevermore.
