Change and Constant
Isabelle Apr 2016
They say that change is the only constant thing in the world,

If then,


*Can I be your change?
And you, my constant?
Will you be my constant through it all??

Decisions (Personal)
Isabelle May 2016
This thing is bothering me for quite long
I couldn't decide whether to go on
My mind is too tired to analyze
All the possible result of this in my life

It is just a matter of yes or no
But when I say yes
Endless what if's will bombard me
And when I say no
What about the possibilities?

I could not focus on the present
I think too much of the future
I worried too much of the unknown
And I couldn't stop myself

Maybe it is really not a matter of yes or no
Instead I should ask myself
If these decisions, will even matter in the future
And when I try to answer myself
There you go, I'll try to foresee the future again
And the cycle will continue, on and on
The result is, I worry too much. So here I am undecided, confused, lost and wandering about my messed up life. Ughh.

Tears (Haiku 2x)
Isabelle Jun 2016
~
You don't need long words
To tell the saddest stories
Tears sometimes are enough


~
You don't need long words
To describe your happiness
Tears sometimes are enough
No words.. Just tears..
Isabelle Jun 2016
Love of recognition
Love of appreciation

Love of power
Love of being above other

Love of luxury
Love of money

Love of success
Love of progress

Loving way too much
Of earthly things and title

Loving way too much
Of things that supposed to be should not matter

Loving way too much
Of life that you forget to actually live

Love is the greatest thing of all
Yet love is the most horrible of all
It all boils down to love after all.

puff v2
Isabelle Nov 2018
i breathed you in
and filled my lungs
with every ash of you
inhaling every smoke of you
they say i’ll get sick
they say i’ll die
of too much cigarettes
but they didn’t know
i’ll die if i breathed you out





—you, my cigarette

Her Name (Repost)
Isabelle Mar 2017
This morning will be a different one, for he will meet a girl
With an auburn eyes, a winsome smile and a hair that is curl
Strange she is, but in a beautiful kind of strange

The boy will stop and stare, will be lost in her haunting sad eyes
She will not notice, and will never knew, that cupid has
shot the boys young heart

The boy found a reason to go out every morning
To see her again, he was hoping
For her smile becomes the sun that brightens his day

He will sit from afar, and with an admiring eyes, just watch her
She paints, she reads, and sometimes plays with her dog's fur
He will silently watch and enjoy the beautiful scenario

It goes for almost a week
"I must be crazy, why do I stalk this chic?"
But he doesn't know the answer

All he know is, the girl brings peace to his heart
Her eyes and smiles are a piece of a pure art
and her laughter is a song to his ears

He could not explain it, watching her makes him happy
and sends a warm chill to his heart, very fancy
"I need to know her name"

The next day, the boy waited in vain
But the girl never came
"I'll wait again tomorrow"

It's been a week, but she never showed up again
In his chest a sadness and pain
Could not accept, she looked for the girl

He found out that the girl loves to paint
But the smell of the chemical will cause her to faint
That's why she sneaks out and do it once in a while

He found out that the girl loves reading
But her eyes failed her, every letters are dancing
That's why she sneaks out and pretends to read

He also found out that her hair was just a wig
And her red lipstick was to hide her pale lips
And finally he found out her name








With a sound of a breaking heart
He reads her name
*On her graveyard
Happy 1 year to this poem :)

let the day
take you away
until the sun sets
when the moon rises
i’ll take you back
here in my arms
safe in my embrace
surrender your heart
let go of the days blue
when the sun downs
and the moon rises
oh darling, you will feel
the warmth of my love

creeps in the dark
lurks in my bed, in my head

to make them go away
oh doctor, your prescribed
medicines don’t help

sometimes they are quiet
but fck, they never go away
the medicines don’t help

Cycle..
Isabelle Apr 2016
Loving you is~

A cycle of mistakes and forgiveness
A cycle of honesty and lies
A cycle of fights and sweetness
A cycle of promises and broken promises
A cycle of love and pain
A cycle of you and me
Loving you is a cycle, unending
A cycle of You and Me
Never to end, let us be.

I don't own it
Isabelle Sep 2017
While you offer me those
sweet words and lovely poems
I am writing the same for him

And while you whisper
“I miss you” to me
I silently say the same to him

Sorry but it’s true, I ain’t over him
So tighten your grip, don’t slip
I don’t want you to get broken just like me

And as much as I hate saying this
It’s not you, it’s me
It’s always me, always me

And I can't accept anything you will give
Because I can't give what I do not have
-my heart, because sadly, he still owns it
I don't know how to say this to you.

moon || wolf haiku
Isabelle Jul 2019
oh bella luna
poor is your beloved wolf
loving from afar
Isabelle Apr 2016
As the tree dances with the roaring wind
The tiny leaves are battling to hold
to stay alive and not fall behind

But I wonder, is it the mother tree
that will set it free,
Is it the persistent leaf
that chooses to tighten the grip,
Or is it the wind,
that will break the bind?


Like the relationship we had
You are the tree
I am the fragile leaf
Us is the wind


Don't make me read between the lines
Tell the truth and no more lies
I could no longer handle the wind
So before you let me go,
I will be the falling leaf,
In the cold ground, I will grief
But surely, freedom I will see

All the love I am feeling for you
All of me I have given you
All my life I offered you

Still
You

All the “I love yous”
All the tears
All the laughs

All

NOTHING

All the kisses
All the memories
All the plans
All of us

Look up, what shape do you see me tonight?
- Said the lovely moon


A solar eclipse
What a lovely sight
Seen by the lucky eyes
how fascinating it is to know that at one point of your life, you will be able to overcast a powerful sun.

Almost There..
Isabelle Sep 2016
Working during daylight
Studying late night

Away from home
Makes me feel alone

Black circles under my eyes
Doing my best not to cry

There are times I almost gave up
There are times I wished I could go back

But the wind always whispers something
"You've come too far, you're almost there"

A flicker of smile
My hope didn't die
Almost there, almost. No matter what the result is, I will be proud of myself.

Once
Isabelle Feb 2019
in the somber shade
of worn summer nights
hidden were boxes
of summer memories
left to rot in the attic
there’s a fog drifting
through the smokey alley
of memory lane
and words of promises
slowly evaporates
to the empty summer air
i stood there, reminiscing
letting flashbulb images
run through my chaotic heart
a tear falls, and more
as i finally took a step away
from a place we once called
our home

you’re in my dreams

i got tangled in your heart
i can’t escape you
i can’t get away
now i’m trying
i’ll run away from you
don’t lure me back
let me walk away
because no matter what we do
i can’t have you
i can’t

You don't even need a gun
You don't even need a pill
If you wanna die
*Fall in love and you'll get killed

Bits and Pieces of You
Isabelle Jun 2017
A brush of fingertip is heaven
A wink takes me to paradise
One smile then I die
One dance is like a forever

Bits and pieces of you..

Your love
A pill is an overdose
A drop and I’m drunk
Overwhelming, intoxicating

Bits and pieces of you
is too much, too much
What more a whole lot of you
Can do??
First draft, too lazy to proofread.

Isabelle Apr 2016
Little by little,
You will crave my touch darling
Just like how the sea water needs to collide the shore

Little by little,
You will realize that you need me darling
Just like how your lungs need an air to breath

Little by little,
You will fall in-love with me darling
Just like how the stars are gradually falling from the sky

And I will patiently wait for you darling
Just don't take too long
Or else, little by little
*I'll realize I don't want you anymore
And I finally remember how to forget you. Little by little.

Throw it all away
Isabelle Jun 2016
~
Un-lonely nights
Romantic moments
The love, the love
What about them?
Throw it all away
The perfect dates
The sweetest kisses
The love, the love
What about them?
Throw it all away

song by Typecast..

~


I heard that song from the radio
I wrote down the lyrics, and sent to you
You just laughed at me
You threw away the letter,
Just like how you threw away our forever

Nights are now lonely
Romantic moments into daily fights
Dates, conversation, all coldly
No more random kisses at night

I asked you what and where did I lacked
You told me none, instead
You told me I was too much
I always knew that too much of everything
is not good, but what can I do?
That's how much I loved you

Will you throw it all away,
Will you throw it all away??
All we've been through
All my love for you,
All my love for you??
Throw away all my love for you.

for when the sun rises
flowers will bloom
from the tears you shed

Into Nothingness
Isabelle May 2016
Dancing with my own shadow
To the beat of my breaking heart
My silence is screaming to be heard
My soul wanting to be freed

I do not know to what should I be freed
I do not know to where should I be freed
I do not know what I seek
I do not know why I seek

Sure there is a hole,
But I do not know my goal
So how can I be whole?

I'm in the middle of chaos
Am I considered loss?
Or I really am a dross?

My body is losing my soul
And my soul is drifting from my body
My mind doesn't have a heart
And my heart doesn't have a mind

Yeah, my body, mind, heart and soul
Are always in contradiction
So I always end up in mess
Drifting into abyss of nothingness
All I see is chaos..

a drepressed loner
in a dark comic drama
his world a social sattire
alienated and desperate
he visited support groups
to relate to others
until he met an
alluring iconoclast
who introduced him to a world
of brawling, violence
until he finally entered into
a world of fight club
it becomes an addiction
a different belief
it becomes his sedative
an escape
until sentimentalism
becomes a horrible lie
so a different path he runs
A raw poem.
First rule: Don't talk about _____. Second rule: Don't talk about ______.
So yeah, it's one of my fave movies of all time. It's just crazy and brilliant..

Age and Time (Repost)
Isabelle Aug 2016
"Things take time, 
But time takes things"



*

*When I was a child

I always wanted to grow up fast

But now, feels like I'm in the wild

Lost in the world so vast



Growing old, adding numbers to my life

Afraid to be an adult and it's strife

They say age brings wisdom
But I~ just getting dumb



I am moving

Yet I go nowhere

I do not know if I'm improving

Or if I'm off to somewhere



Turning 22 isn't a big deal

But why does it terrifies me?
The idea of life getting more real

Transition to adulthood I can not see



Maybe I'm not yet ready
 of a bigger world and responsibilities

Because my feet aren't always steady
 and unsure of my abilities


I was not innocent
 and definitely not immature
But I always face an awkward predicament

Because my life, is constantly unsure



Yes, 22 is not young, but not too old enough

to have a clear mind and smart tongue

So I just have to shrug this feeling of rough

And enjoy the feeling of young



Age and time, we could not defy

So as life and its formula

Running out of time, is a big lie

And age is nothing but a numeral



Age and time, definitely
Does not define maturity, nor brings wisdom
And I couldn't tell much, technically

Because, as I've said, I still lack in wisdom
So yeah I turned 22 today. Happy Birthday to me. I wrote this after my graduation day, and up to now, now that I am 22, I still feel the same way.

The Magic Word (Part II)
Isabelle Jul 2016
~
She remembered, she even counted
“Five times, he said it five times”

She remembered the first and second
It was when he was kissing her
In between the passionate scene
He wisphered the words twice

As for the third time,
When they were eating together
“Tatlong piraso para sayo kasi mahal kita
(3 pieces for you because I love you)”
She just smiled at him

And as for the fourth and fifth
It was when they were making love
In between the amorous moments
“I love you, I love you” he told her

Five times, he said it five times
He said the magic words

It was the magic word
That changed her world
She finally believed it
She finally accepted it

But she didn’t told him
She kept it to herself
She was afraid to say the words
She was afraid of the consequences

She waited again for him to say it
“I love you too” she even practiced
But that time never came
He never said it, he never said it again

What happened?
She asked herself
Was it too late to say
“I love you too”?

The magic word
Has lost its power
Has lost its meaning
Has lost its purpose

Who's to blame?
The one who answered late
Or the one that seems insincere?

Yet unknowingly the bridge was built again
And the line was meant to be crossed again

Crossing the line between us




Only to come back to you..

Because I can't turn away...

Are to cover the lies
And the look in my eyes
Are pretentious, a disguise
that I knew nothing of your crime

I'll take the fire in your eyes
Even if it will burn me alive
I don't want to hear the truth
Love me still, even if it's just a lie
