Tea
Tea
The fragrance, aroma
Of an old tested remedy
Cures the aches and restlessness
Of the mind, body and soul

To center and align
Like a drops of rain
Never wonder where it came
As ancients felt it, so do I

I put you closer to my lips
Your warmth giving life
Calming, How I enjoy you,
my healing cup of tea.

Sweet November
You lingered through December
Didn't lived through forever
Now there's only a surrender
Blurred memories to remember.

Crushed
theres goes an instance
When I take my hand
To reach deep within
And crushed my own heart

So you see it relieves
That bitter agony that comes
When the wind whispers
The names of others

I
I
I fell
I fell and though I held on
I fell
And broken I found myself

I found myself
Holding on
By the skin and nails of my being
I found myself

Holding on
Foolishly I still do
Holding on
On thread like ropes

I foolishly
Believe that in another phase
That I foolishly
Denies my heart’s truth

Chimera
In light of the things swept under
Beneath the depths you chose to wander
What seems to be a phantom ponder
Making memories in a house by the yonder

Freestyle
A particular note hangs in the air.
The lights continue to flicker,
As the dancing moths sways,
The lines of a fluttering waltz. 
The night spins its spell.
If you do not agree then just see.
Colors of rainbows and the stars, 
So vivid when your eyes are shut.
Fireflies, butterflies, and dragonflies,
The irony and the melancholy,
Spare me amenities of these realities.
As I waltz the magical night, 
under the flickering lights.

I Want You
I want, a want that's unholy.
A wanting that's perverted.
I want, a want that's solely for me.
A wanting that's truthfully converted.

I want to touch.
Feel your soft and hard.
Trace what can burn and hurt,
The fiery scorch you possess.

I want to taste
The sweetness of your essence
Hidden in many folds of your heart
You buried forgotten in your soul.

I want the earth you walk on,
The air that sustains,
The water that brings life,
I want all of you and more.

You are so sweet.
Your lack of flavor and taste,
The savory scent of maple and honey,
The absence is what makes you sweet.

Warm, you are warmth.
A brightness in a trail of blindness,
The flame that ignites the light,
I am the moth careless, drawn to burn.

Strength is what you are.
Force that pushes the earth towards the sun,
Earth that holds the endless oceans and seas,
Cupping the waters in your resilient hands.

You are shelter.
The trees that gives shade,
Leaves and wind making symphonies,
Lulling me to slumber of safety.

Listening to Freddy
Like leaves falling down
Crumbling listening to Freddy
As he sang the ballad so sadly
Helplessly I succumb and drown

Such are matters of the heart
No one is ever too cunning or smart
For the cause we become foundlings
Victims we are nothing but weaklings

So what is there to deliberate
“You broken my heart” Freddy says
“Bring it home to me” and he prays.
But there’s only heartbreak to calibrate

Blind Faith
I hear the roaring of the waves.
Loud and beating, my heart’s pumping,
I’m alive, with senses so high I‘m sure,
Awakened I rise from an endless sleep.

The wind encourages me to take flight.
Daring and fearless I’ve never been ready.
Like liquid fire through my veins,
And though once broken I am resurrected.

As I brave this lonely pavement,
To you I run at the end of the road.
I stopped and hesitated to catch my breathe,
Doubtful and unsure, I struggle not to turn away.

Flawed and naked I stand before you.
The undisclosed exposed for you to see,
The what will be makes me guarded,
Will your arms welcome or deny me.

Houses and Doors
Eyes wide open starring outside.
A web of Soft and comfy sheets tangled,
Clean walls and ceiling of bright white paint,
I woke up lost in a bed not of my own.

The thrilling scenes of the past few days,
Became the brewing storm in the ocean of us,
Lightning cuts through the darken stormy skies,
Thunders of the vociferous truth are never far away.

And so often the reality of the illuminating morning,
Brings unsettled thoughts that shadows the soul,
I dare not look on the other side to tackle my concern,
What I denied stubbornly and wouldn’t succumb.

A half closed door leading to a house of another me.
Shards of bittersweet nothings on the floor unclean,
Glitters like fool’s gold in the morning light at play,
I shut the entrance vowing not to violate a peek.

On Writing
I breath a not so very fresh air.
I consume a not so healthy diet.
Sleeps under the same stars,
Gazes the same pearl moon.

I see, feel, hear, smell, senses heightened.
I process the stimulants and characters.
Then I close my eyes and opened anew.
There I see, I smile, I write.

Time Unexplored
Gazing under the stars,
Rustles of the leaves,
Creating music with the wind,
Inviting me to dance.

The smell of fresh rain,
Bathe the leaves of baby grass,
Condensed water drips down,
Sparkling jewels glistening.

A plea of a playful boy,
with golden smiles of sunshine,
fearless as a chivalrous knight,
Beckons me to be his consort.

I grasped my little Prince's hands,
Bent down and got lost in his eyes,
Tenderly I touched his lips with mine,
Darling child, there's always the next time.

Invitation to a Ball
Dressed in finest with diamonds and pearls,
Draped in cascading waterfall of silk and lace,
Velvety scent hovering delicate skin,
Senses heightened, a muse enters the ball.

Lights, glitters, somehow the chandeliers reflect,
The festive and jovial non caring mob on the floor,
Flirty and inviting giggles and smiles of women,
Received by the charming and engaging flock of men.

I hear a toast of welcomes and greetings.
Glasses were raised of sweet bubbly champagne.
Wishes of well-being and welcome filled the room.
Faces passed into an recognizing blur of smolder.

But the reception was a well-played sham,
The festive, a rehearsed staged scene from your screenplay,
Artists are your familiars that act on your command.
With the exclusion of the maiden muse you invited.

Tete a tete
Getting lost in your contradictions

In a play of your persuasions

Your endless ammunitions

Such strong piercing penetrations

Detailed in your enumerations

Has become my new addiction

Creature of Delight
Spicy scent of a sensual promise,

Air kisses, mouth playing in the shilouette,

Eyes are dark, pools of drowning fiery desire,

The sound of your breathing,

A capturing magical spell,

caught I am willingly in this tangled web.

Hard firm flesh and skin burning,

In peachy fair of deliscious color.

This creature of pleasure worshipped me.

I became the beauty Aphrodite between the sheets.

New and Old Verses
I’ve heard this rhyme tide before
So new with it’s uplifting surge
A refreshing and invigorating elixir
Of indulging pleasures and splendors

I need not learn the steps of the dance
The music piece is the only variation
With new faces in different stances in place
Crescendos and decrescendos are unchanged

Soon I’ll hear a music playing
Of happiness and loneliness of the heart
The first verse will sing the new to discover
And the last will go back to the old and familiar

Voices
Pen and paper be my voice
Relate my relay to those who are bothered
In an ancient cuneiform on papyrus or stone
Colorful graffiti of my sentiments on display
Tired of hearing too many voices
And fighting for my own to be heard
In a sea of confusion and tension
I prefer to swim ashore to solid ground

Lost
Barefoot on a cold pavement of the night
Barely covered, chills and shivers creeps up
Through the soles of my feet reaching the roots of my hair
An unhurried assault of desensitizing numbing.

I am not myself; I am under, under a spell
Under a call that begs me to pursue so I run
Run, under a trance like a mad woman I run
A deafening cry of silence only I can hear.

I searched in desperation and despair
Where, anywhere, somewhere, everywhere
How, where, when, where are you?
My resolve troubled, I listened in the dark.

Shattered in a million pieces and heartbroken
I dropped to knees on the hard pavement
An agonizing cry of a wounded creature
As no answer came for the one that waits.

Sleeping Beauty
Leave this heart and let it remain in slumber
Let me live in a suspended reverie
I’d rather you leave me be in this standing
In sleep, in silence, this calmness, this serenity


Rest is needed so very badly
The body craves a respite to reset
Elementals had worn me
The tireless got tired and weary


Roaming this earth with endless battles
I’ve felt and seen my unwanted shares
More of the vicious and malicious pain
And so little of the precious benevolence


I struggled to create mine over and over
Like sand castles they crumbled with the waves
Still I continued armed nothing but aspirations
But my last reserve is spent and I have nothing


With a different position I chose to differ and run
I stopped the building and in pieces I chose to leave
With a heavy heart I opt to evolve under the radar
As I sleep and let the changes take over


I’ll wake when my time comes calling
So when you find me I’ll be better
And I can soar even higher
But for now, leave me be in my slumber

I am
Yes I am, and this is my stature.
I’ve acknowledged humanity‘s expansion and extention.
The burden of proof is theirs and not on me,
To disprove me or dismay me otherwise.

But I tell you I am.
Regardless of the exterior and superficial ,
Of the mere sight that speculate and perceive.
Try and pierce through the dressings and you’ll see.

Come and remember the bare fundamentals,
Of similarities that binds us as one of a whole.
Like an outcry for silence in a sea of angry voices.
That begs you to feel and listen without prejudice.

When wounded I feel pain, like the likes of many.
When happy I exalt joy, like a child’s cry of glee.
When hurt tears burn behind my eyes,
yearning to be comforted by someone who gives a ****.

I am because I am,
A mind and a heart that pumps the desire to live.
I wake with the same sun and sleep under the same stars.
On the same ground, same air, you and I try to survive.

I am you when I look in the mirror.
I am because what sustains me sustains you.
That when cut will bleed the same color.
So therefore you are the intricate and pure just as I am.
You, me, them, and the rest.

There you are standing in front of me

figment of my imagination in a timeless reverie

Standing there with your glory, so real in flesh

A revelation of a rose unfolding in its bloom so fresh



No expectations just with mere hesitations

I take your recommendation and go with no restrictions

So uncanny of me to be unpredictable and unreasonable

With matters of uncertainty and no veracity



Your words were like pages from my book

And yet I know you and I never convene

Prior to this intimate sit down I found myself

Drinking the sincerity and truth you offered as is



Such delightful creature you are

Disagree and contradict, you might say in differ

Like delightful sweetness I love and savor

Obsessively irresistible, I can’t get enough of



I was surprised, dumbstruck and in denial

of revealing things you said about how read me

You dived and found the locked treasured chest

I threw in the dark abyss in the deepest trench



I am one who believes but stopped in believing

That such wonderful encounter can partake to the likes of me

But you prove me wrong with the glimmer in your eyes

Which I pray is true and just solely for me



As your eyes seemed to memorize and be mesmerized

I look at you and wonder if what I’m seeing is real

Could it be that you truly do understand this riddle

That this sphinx tends to utter in mystery and puzzle



You look at me intensely with warmth and pleasure

A glimmer of amusement dances across your face,

As you look at me from the other side of the table.

Your lips form a smile, and then you call me beautiful.
For you, who once called me an apple.

An Alley Scene
She's out on the prowl again.
A deadly sensual beast who takes no prisoners.
She put the stilettos on and red lipsticks.
Finish it up with that 'ol tantalizing perfume.

She walks out as her steps echoes the pavement,
the rhythm of danger and anticipation.
She stops, narrows her eyes,
Dark eyes adjusted to the darkness as she scans.

As she approach, senses heightens.
Hers is one silhouette written in history.
Hearts and souls were offered as devotion.
Kingdoms and endless lives fall beneath her.

Her bosoms like mountains, tall and proud.
That long dark hair smelled of lavender.
a graceful neck holds a regal beauty of a face.
A burning passion inflamed of endless wanting.

A dangerous she wolf on the hunt.
She smells it in the air, he is here.
A half smile appears on her delicate mouth.
She has found her prey to devour.

Sunset and Me
Sunset I’m still here.

You see me still standing.

You see me still faithful.

You see me still hopeful.



And sunset I’m still here.

You witnessed my falls.

You witnessed my heartbreak.

You witnessed my demised.



But sunset I’m still here,

I promised you with every fiber.

I promised you with each breathe.

I promised you with every heart beat.



And sunset I’m still here,

Alive, my spirit renewed,

Alive, my will stronger,

Alive, my heart kinder.

Dear Butterfly
Dear butterfly I addressed thee,
Not to come and play so near me.
For you are wrecking this poor mind’s sanity
That I’m clinging on so helplessly

Dear Butterfly I say to thee,
Your beauty is compared to none I’ve yet to see.
Utterly breathtaking like a perfect sword,
So valuable and exquisite to behold.

Dear butterfly I write to thee
Have mercy and don’t tempt me is my plea
For I am bound to take you here
And never let you go I fear.

Dear butterfly I beg of thee
Just fly away if you wish and flee
Never to return and engaged with me
for I will never set you free.

The Promise
To the one I promise you this when you find me,
That I will not leave anything amiss for you to lose me.
Words and thoughts will be clear as day,
So that your heart is assured through with no dismay.

To the one, I promise you my unyielding strength,
To be your anchor when you feel like drifting.
Bring the sun’s rays to your cloudy and darken days,
The remedy, to heal your broken dreams and pains.

To the one I promise you this when I find you,
perpetual romantic days that ends with  passionate kisses.
Every second together would not be spent apart,
As our bodies and souls says no more to separation.

To the one, I promise you this devotion,
Of undying love and endless affection.
I promise to cherish the man you are,
A lover, an equal,  the half that completes me.

I promise that’ll I’ll be faithful to the one.
For there is only him and no else will be.
During days and nights of a temporary partition,
I’ll be dreaming and wishing to end with aching anticipation.
Feb 2013 · 517
Gift
I hear a voice as it echoes through my sleep
I awake searching the dark intensely and deep
Every moment of the waited anticipation
Signals the upheavals of an ending partition
A cry of exalted joy, untarnished and pure
A finale coming for all things obscure
From the prayers of the ever faithful hopeless fool
Pitiful dreams turned into a thread of golden spool
With the promise and word by the Great divine
I gave my worship and trust in sincere sublime
Your words ever so clear and a loud testimony
Never fails to comfort and heal in every ceremony
Your bestowed reward so precious like sunshine
Resurrects this heart knowing what given is mine
Those who believe and have faith in the unknown are fools, then call me one.

Beauty Still Sleeps
The mythical bird that rises from the ashes
Grand wings of blazing fire and light
Born from the breast of a goddess heart
A celestial essence in an earthly shell

Though dormant and asleep, she’s never amiss
For her days of roaming were full of purpose
She ran her course at best and performed
Found herself broken and needed to evolve

Don’t despair as she waved good bye
To lay a rest afar from the existing pretense
Her desire for truth and love is her lullaby
As she to gain better vision of her presence

No potion, no cure, no magical kiss will bring her
Her calling is a hymn from the angels that sings
An epiphany of triumph after a tragedy
Like a queen she’ll conquer and bring you to kneel
Butterflies are not born beautiful

Company
Stay a while
Is that too much?
Though I'm not the type
To ever ask nor impose

Relax a while
Right here come closer
Rest your worries upon me
As you close your eyes and dream

Be with me for a while
Forget the presents and accounts
That Tomorrow dictates you
To leave and follow

Not a plea nor begging to be
Don't you see I just want you near?
No locks nor chains
My Dear just simply stay

A Playwright's Reverie
The heart recognized,
And the soul remembers.
An affair that commenced,
A love that grew and blossomed.

And yet refraining was a hopeless endeavor.
So we gave in to a moment’s splendor.
Mere touches that satisfied the yearning,
Stolen moments that lasted a life time.

As the dread of the ending nears,
With the coming of the morning
And the ending of the night
Our steps must go our separate paths.

We play the role expected of us,
Perform the duties that were assigned to us.
And the memory of you and I that once was real,
Remain in the secret folds these four walls.

Though the days seems darker,
And moving on is getting harder.
As playwrights will make new stories,
Of cherished memories of captured days.

But in every whisper of the wind,
Every rain drops that washes the pain,
I’ll be trapped in a bittersweet trance,
A reverie who's only inhabitants is me.

Another Crusade
A sudden pause in my reality
Hands of time went still momentarily
Amazed in wonder on this unfolding reverie
A vision played unfolding before me

I caught my breathe in a grasp
As the breeze whispered in a sweet rasp
A spell was told of an unknown desire
Uttered in belief from every prayer's respire

I have not seen and yet I witness
the chosen maiden as the blessed priestess
Like Gabriel visiting the ****** Mary
Uriel came to deliver my destiny

A touch of divinity
Some may say sorcery
Many had seek answers to the unknown
In a quest to end and satisfy the forlorn

My fragile heart held the memory
The soul bears the teachings of the Almighty
My mind navigates the daily labyrinth
An endless fight for a reality born of a myth

I Walk
I keep on walking, walk, walk, and walk.
I love to walk to go to places, I’ve never been,
Places I’ve never been, or have been or just passed by.
On gravel, the pavement, and on the sand.


I keep on walking towards a destination,
Unmarked, undiscovered, untouched and unexplored
In an Almanac in this world, in this life time,
Or maybe another world, in another lifetime, I don’t recall.


I keep on walking to free the mind and think.
In search of cues and answers to life’s mysteries,
To clear the mist, the darkness, and obscurities
That may help me to decode, learn and cope.



I keep on walking to tire this body
To feel the coils of my being exhausted and worn,
Melt tensions that I carry on my shoulders.
As I grasp and fight for each precious breathe.


I keep on walking to fight the lonely,
To get lost or be found in my melancholy,
To places I’ve never been, have been or just passing by
to carry me to the unknown, the undiscovered, I go and walk.

Tempting Apple
I thought I found an exquisite apple
hidden in the pile, I dig deep to find.
That special one so ripe and beautiful
Sink my mouth I long to do

But then I remembered it cannot be
For I am allergic to what an apple offers
A Snow White complex I do have
But no kiss will bring me back if unattended

Eve's weakness and curse I overcome
A temptation so inviting I decline
With pure strength I manage to say no
With all my might I turn away from you

Though the bite would be tragic
It left me pondering and wondering
Locked in my own private thoughts
I guess what wondrous excite you taste

Catnaps
Awake from an indulging sleep
Like babes who naps,
and cries of a baby sheep.
Eyes blinking, lashes fluttering,
cheeks pink, mouth moving,
A graceful cat stretches her limb.
Arch and bend her back,
Like a Yogi she poses and inhales,
Renewed and glowing, she exhales.

An Acquaintance
I drank from the chalice you gave
Consumed the feast you prepared
Bathe in the tub you filled
Slept in the bed you made

I looked in your eyes
Stared deep in your soul
Kissed your delicious lips
Felt your burning desire

You've opened your book
The pages I touched
You told me to read
And learned you I did

The affection and attention you gave
I replaced with the an equal part
And yet here you are acting
An acquaintance I've never met

Glances
A piece so precious to see
A vision I cannot resist
So rare, exquisite, and unique
Or value and price is beyond

You were meant to be seen
Admired from a distance so far
Never to be touched
Never to be held

To have a glimpse of you
Is a rare gift to be bestowed
But to have you in my palms
A wish with longing torture

And yet I couldn’t stay away
I dare not look away
Couldn’t turn and walk away
When you came and look my way

Wings
The violent winds,
Keeps blowing me to places
I wonder the next

It will lead me to
would  I be lost or be found
or still caught up high

Free, will I ever
From your choosing or my own
chains that were bestowed

Fly and soar I long
On my own I can endure
Wings are healed and grant

You watch me take flight
Break away from the current
that you think you hold

Mountains I will climb
Seas, oceans, and lakes to swim
the skies I will rule

Fragrant lavenders
lush green colorful meadows
my home, here I come
When you're lost
fallen and can't walk,
Find your wings
and know you can soar,
back to your home.

Aiming for the Moon
I'll climb the highest mountain
Search for the tallest tree
Swing in its branches
Til I find the perfect nest

And when I do I will ask
The magical bird tending
Her previous golden eggs
I hope she won't bite and mind

For help and assistance
I will ask and beg for pardon
Been longing and wondering
Of how to get to the moon

Come to me
So high my yearning for you.
Alone in my solitude just won’t do,
Thought of you won’t let me sleep.
I need to see you be near you.

I know how it is going to be
A total utterly helpless surrender I give
Scènes and moments that consumes me,
The ache, a firing burning in my core.

Craving for you it’s been so long,
Soon, but not soon enough for me.
And when the morning comes,
I want you to come to me too.

The thought of you consumes me,
Turn this fantasy into an fiery reality.
Anticipation can’t wait no longer.
Satisfy and end a long perpetual wait

Your soul touches deep inside
Dark amber scotch come and burn me.
Senses heightened, you’re so intoxicating,
Here comes the morning so come to me.
I'll take the chair by the corner window
A seating for one and the lonely reserved
the sun bright rays from the outside
and yet it is raining and cold here inside

Let me have a piece of your sweet nothings
and a cup of your bittersweet concoction
Stir it, make it strong, make it potent
To bathe my tongue in your flavorful sorrow

A subtle hint of sweetness from the better days
so little, like this honey in my cup to drink
I ask for more but was denied of supply
None for me or just not for me unfortunately

I ate your sorrows and broken dreams
got drunk in your meaningless lines
Suffered from your inflicted sadness
Got poisoned by your killer disillusions

Homeless
Home, where is it?
Four colored bricks or wooden walls,
Windows, stairs and panels,
An entry and exit passage at that.

Home, who is there?
A mama and a papa,
a sister or a brother or two,
And little fawn that cries at the morn.

Home, Can I ask you?
What if I don't have a papa?
What if I don't have a mama?
Or siblings that cries at morn?

Home, What happens now?
No colored bricks or wooden walls,
No windows, stairs and panels,
No entrance nor exit to come in or out.

Home, Do you know where is it?
Do I have one, do I belong in one?
Do I have someone, do I belong to someone?
Who wants me badly to come home.

— The End —
