One-sided Love
Demi Ponce Mar 2016
At the start of the day, I met a boy
I didn't know why, but I suddenly felt joy
He looked at me in the eye and warmly said hello
Not knowing that in the end, I would have to let him go

That afternoon, we agreed to stop by a cafe
Happily chatting nonstop, while time was slipping away
With the mellifluous music in the background, we filled the shop with our laughs
Then an epiphany occurred, I realized that I have to keep this memory by taking a few photographs

At nightfall, we exchanged numbers and decided to part ways
As he went to the opposite direction by walking backwards with his hands swaying as a sign of goodbye, I gazed
At that moment as I deeply stared into his eyes, I felt happiness- it was ineffable and little did I know, it was just ephemeral too
Because then I knew, my love is never going to come into his view
( i posted this on poetfreak too so yeah)

My Own Paradise
Demi Ponce Mar 2016
The texture of beautiful flowers oh so ethereal
The feel of a sudden zephyr hugging me, as I inhale the scents of nature
The fragrance of my surroundings oh so redolent
The litheness of my movements as I explore this breathtaking land

"This is it, this is my own paradise," I thought
As I imagined it with my eyes closed,
I unconsciously lifted my right hand, totally immersed in envisaging my own haven
Until I was hit by a sudden blow, a blow that firmly stated that I probably won't see it with my own eyes

This is the hiraeth of my mind, of my soul, of my heart
And this is the heartbreak that hurt me the most
This is about me releasing my homesickness to a place that I've never been before.

Alluring
Demi Ponce Mar 2016
I wish I was beautiful
Long black silky hair, Pale milky skin
Soft light brown eyes meant to be stared at
Plump lips craving to be kissed
Perfectly sculptured nose that you can’t help but pinch
Lengthy legs, Slim body with a slight curve
Just thinking about it makes me desire to change
But then…
I’m sure I won’t be one
I will never be as beautiful as others
I will never be loved
For my flaws are completely unattractive
Disgusting, Repugnant, Ugly
Those words define me

Today's Standards
Demi Ponce Apr 2016
The bliss of solitude -
Covered and hidden by society's opinion ;
Everyone believes that having a lot
Is the ultimate panacea to depression -
Because they didn't know,
That having a lot could end their delectation...
And once they have an epiphany,
That's when they start doubting propinquity
And turn into chickens pretending to be lions,
Because they realized...
That they have to be known as diamonds
In order for the world to not stomp onto their shoulders

Why Love?
Demi Ponce Apr 2016
Is this the feeling called... "love"?
The emotion that's been going around,
That's been making everyone unusual?

Because of the evidences I witnessed,
It's a contagious disease, I conjectured -

Therefore I find it hard to understand,
Why are people so fond of it?
Why are people risking their hearts for it?

To me, it was the highest level of stupidity...
Until I met him -

I'd say he's different,
He has an aura that captivates you,
That lures you into his eyes

Therefore I got trapped in his soul...
And then, I was forced to trap him in my heart -

I've tried countless ways to just - to just cure this disease -
This disease that made me who I'm not used to be,
This disease that made me question my empathy;

But this disease - it gave me happiness, it gave me a reason to live -
Now I question myself... is this "love" a disease or a cure to my loveless heart?

— The End —
