WanderinG
Ignatius Hosiana Feb 2017
Let them forget the little I did
but always remind them that it was my dream
to change the world, and I started with me
for there wasn't a fulcrum long enough
and a point on which to stand on whilst I
move the world...
Let them forget who I was but the one thing
you should never let them forget are the words I wrote
for it was only such moments when ink bled on paper and
my fingers hurt typing on a keyboard that I was truly alive
Otherwise I was just a lost Gypsy wandering through
a wrong generation...

WHERE ARE THEY?
Ignatius Hosiana Nov 2015
Where did the words go
Where did all the poetic sentences go
The descriptions about how I feel
How the river of my Soul went still
How the Ocean of my heart can no longer be sailed
How my innocent emotions were jailed
Where are the sonnets that stole my sadness
Where are the songs that saved me from madness
Where are the stars that twinkled in the sky of my faith
Where's the warm breeze that characterized my breath
Where are the couplets that were perfect outlets
Where are the quatrains that filled my sensory pamphlets
Where are the dawns of the promise that someday I will heal
Where is the time I wrote to ****
Where is the love in every corner of this sphere
Where I'm I and why I'm I here
Where is the mountain of my philosophical perspiration
Where're the blissful springs of inspiration
Where is the pan gram to use all the alphabet in describing situations
Where are the rhythmical villanelles of my unanswered questions?

Lies
Ignatius Hosiana Mar 2016
create the longest
distance twixt hearts in Love
and sometimes they never bridge
from the far apart they're torn
they never fall back close,
the deep canyons of doubt can't let them
no matter how bravely they fight
however much they try they can't hold tight
lies are thieves who rob the spark
wound and leave their mark
one that may mean a forever
without return to together

Kicking The Bucket
Ignatius Hosiana Jan 2017
It's not until you kick the bucket that you realize
the noose wasn't the solution to your bruise*
When none is present to grab your kicking feet
and lift you out the bottomless pit of defeat
there are no problems heavy enough to ****
and suicide ain't no solution, just a bad deal.

even your challenges weigh you down
remember there's always a new dawn.

You're Not Alone
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2019
I pray someday the Sun shines so beautiful that you'll be grateful for enduring the storm, that you find a place to call home and appreciate the years you've wandered, I pray the long road doesn't feel that long anymore after all you've walked the distance and gone an extra mile. The fractured places that make you weak, I pray they heal to make you stronger. Since this journey has been tiring and long, I pray you finally belong. I pray in the dark times your sky clears so that you can enjoy a constellation of hope and lunar of faith. I hope when you lose your way a North Star will appear to point you to your true north, I hope your true north leads you on. I hope you can find healing in those invisible places that hurt the most, and for the things you wish you had done differently, I pray you forgive yourself and understand that everything is part of the puzzle of your existence. I pray you find a smile when your tears dry, and the courage to talk about those things that are crushing your soul, I hope you recess in the midst of your depression. I pray the nightmares are phased out by beautiful dreams that give you courage to go after what you crave even if respecting your desire has maimed your heart, I pray your heart functions much as it's shattered so that you can truly live again, there's a conflict within you, I pray someday you find peace and for those things you couldn't change, I pray you learn to accept that they had to happen and in the depth of despair,I hope these words find you so that you know you're not alone.

TAKING CHANCES
Ignatius Hosiana Nov 2015
Too afraid to love, too afraid of hurt
*Too afraid of my world breaking apart
Too afraid of loneliness yet Love's cruel
Because  it's a war that ends in a duel
Too afraid to trust ,broken till the crust
Cannot see a variance twixt Love and lust
Too confused to tell which road to follow
Too burdened by  memories to not feel this hollow
Too scared but I doubt there's a safe way out
None can hear me albeit I let my silence shout
Guess whoever fills the void and heals the scars
Will share a night of counting the stars
Whoever will drag me out the dark
I should trust will have a honest spark
Whoever that will be should be able to fill this emptiness
Gaping wide and abysmal with special uniqueness

when April rains come, hope I'll see her again soon

Mirror
Ignatius Hosiana Nov 2016
It may display how breath taking you look
it may divulge every scar there is to hide
it may show you the color of your eyes
for there's nothing it shows that's lies
but your mirror will never tell you
what I think about your elegance
nor decipher the speech in my glance
it will never reveal your emotions
and neither will it vivisect the notions
mirror's admissions may cause ecstasy
but there's still so much more left to see
Mirrors don't lie, that they never do
they also never tell what's inside
hidden in the unflicked pages of the book.

Focus
Ignatius Hosiana Dec 2016
Do not sweat yourself trying to disprove
the people who looked down upon you
but rather work hard and prove those
who believed in you right. Focus on the
positive to drive you, negative energy
always has a downside to it. Live for love
for hate is too much a burden to bear
and when the music is on, dance to it
even if the rest of the world will call you crazy
because they can't hear the song for
some things were created for you alone
and not for the world...

Ignatius Hosiana Oct 2016

for when it felt like paradise, we forgot to pray...

For the World to Shatter
Ignatius Hosiana Jan 2019
I will rise with the sun of hope when all is said and done
I will flow with the river of faith wherever I can
I will spin the wheel of desire, and once again burn
I will follow the road of passion, I'll take every turn
I will bear the storms of affection however perilous
listening to the silence of loneliness and shout of jealous
I will let my soul wander for that's how I'll be pious
when my mind finally let's go, when it tires...
I will follow my heart to the end of the road, my feet are willing
until there's no more smithereens for the world to shatter
then fly on the wings of time in search of healing
and maybe I'll find it or not, maybe it doesn't matter...
Maybe that's the purpose of life, to rise and fall
to walk across fields in joy, step on a thorn and howl
to calm after a storm, to find in a stranger a home
no matter the risks and danger, then return to stranger
to give your all and lose everything including your soul
to spin the wheel, to fly and perch... to believe and doubt...
with beautiful dreams to inspire and nightmare to scare
but I will rise with the sun of hope for I'd rather choke than breathe despair...

SOMEONE ONCE TOLD ME
Ignatius Hosiana Apr 2015
Marriage's the biggest cause of divorce
Law the main cause of crime
Peace a reason behind force
For the free flow, we appreciate rhyme
Love the real reason behind hate
And free will the mother of fate
Life brings about death
Life's breath, death's absence of breath
Money's the reason some never eat
Because no matter what, none gets enough of it
Beauty is light that outshines Ugly
Without which Ugly couldn't be seen badly
Rain is the reason behind the desert
Absence of It is ***** of nature,sweet hurt
Blindness is a result of vision
We'd otherwise see reason
We agree to disagree
Someone once told me

THE PUZZLES OF LOVE
Ignatius Hosiana Apr 2015
If love is a war
Why do we still die to adore?
If love is louder
Why does hate blow it away like powder?
If love is a thick smoke
Why the surprise when we choke?
If love is a cloud
Why are we seldom on the ninth,proud?
If love is blind
How come we see the hurt left behind?
If love is wisdom
Why are our hearts a stupid kingdom?
If love is a disease
Shouldn't we know where It's cure is?
If love is a wind
Are the hearts tins where It's confined?
If love is a song
To which genre does it belong?
If love is a foolish joke
Why do even the wisest talk that talk?
If love is a crime
Why have perpetrators been freed over time?
If love is a soothing rain
What explains the disappointment and pain?
If love is a treasure
How come its value we can't measure?
If love is a bell
Is it something more than a knell?
If love is desire
Does this explain why it burns like fire?
If love is wealth
What use is wealth without health?
If love is power
How come it feds as easily as a flower?
If love is breath
What explains its coppery test of death?

Besides the harmony and bliss

The neighborhood of two

Who were strange too

Also enjoyed an innocent kind of peace

The farmer was weird

While the other a wizard

Insane though he was

He always had his hand on his hoes

And went to bed each night so early

And so rose to attend to his Barley

Together with the fish in his glass tank

He'd hiked the village ranks

As one of the cool headed drunks

I'm meaning the farmer Mr.Frank

In his eyes sweat filled

As he tilled his large tedious garden field

But how Wizard managed was tragic

To him (none knew it was dark Magic)

'Cause his gardens were bald clean

With vines and vegetables sweet green

"I admire your gardens "

Said Frank one day to Mr.Edens

Who in guilt clenched at his palms firmer

As he watched the ignorant farmer

Pour into a snow-white bowl fresh milk

Wearing crystal white gloves of silk

Edens would easily harbor a grudge

With people who are quick to judge

They'd never walked his lonesome dark path

Neither'd they seen behind his door latch

Off to his duty dressed like a knight

His door he softly closed

As he stared toward Frank's in that dark night

Contemplating what by the day he supposed

"Someday you'll know it ain't by chance”

Snorted Edens, "For the Green by day is by

night a shattering dance "

DARKNESS ON THE NORTH STAR
Ignatius Hosiana Mar 2015
The blue sky was slowly tearing
But how badly he was faring
None could tell, the untold pain he was bearing
Yet the tattered ozone
Somewhat meant war was on
Once his people, on their way
With speed that he felt their heartbeats
Could his Earthly family live to see another day
Through the disaster bound for their innocent streets?
Those coming were not only hungry
They were more of angry
A strange darkness had hit the North Star
And a throbbing ache underneath his scar
What other sign did he really need
From his savage old family, to fore-farewell bid
Peace and Joys to embrace the raging sorrow
Filled with despair of not seeing through the tunnel to tomorrow
Was he going to just back down?
Was it too late
Was he going to hold his orb of fate
And clear its darkness,or just watch Earth drown?

Flames Of Goodbye
Ignatius Hosiana Aug 2016
When I breathe my very very last breath
succumbing to an inevitable defeat by death
take my corpse and place it upon very dry wood
cremate me and know that am gone for good
ensure you use very big and steady embers
so that I leave in a flame everyone remembers
then gather my ashes before winds start to blow
before the sky is dark or the moon and stars start to glow
before the worms of despondence feed on your hopes
and maggots start to infest my corpse.
collect those remains and pour me in a Lake or River
so that I can flow with the fountains forever
but if burning my corpse makes you quiver
and some oppose with a noise of the weaver
then bury me far far away beyond reach for the witch
hide my corpse like a rash of a stinging itch
where the hunter's hounds won't even reach
bury me deeper, even if it's by just an inch
bury me that very day and without delay
so that you won't have to sadly relay my corpse whilst a decay
this world is a thrill, but when am through hiking my hill
let me go, focus on the wounds and try to heal
maybe forget how you feel and let my grave be the seal
when I breathe in my very last and precious air
don't lose yourself in the old city of despair
Burn me, warm my soul with the flames my amigo
No matter the pain, when I breathe my last, let me go...

The Extinct
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2016
it's not that she doesn't want to be loved
she so much wants it... She just doesn't
believe anyone can love her the way she craves
not even her own self's succeeded...
she wants the fairy tales, she wants paradise
she wants a lad who can read her eyes
and whose soul is an open book
for all she's encountered are lies

She just wants what she can't get
or thinks she won't...
the ghost few have seen yet all
speak about... she wants true
love, an extinct in her universe

HERE WITHOUT YOU
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
Seated here in a dark room
Like a bride turned down by the groom

I'm here conjured in my imagination
Trying to figure out what is or what will
Be, but still it doesn't answer every question
I don't know what your heart needs to heal

I'm here by my PC typing on my phone
Because It's new and it'll take time to learn
While my mind is taking on a new form
Dripping sweat looking for the best words it can

Call it speech that will seep in through the cracks
And touch every painful spot wounded by your past
Listening to Lana Del Rey hoping to find the words in her tracks
Some kind of soothing spell I can cast

I'm here imagining holding you close to my heart
Here thinking that one day you'll learn your sad is mine
Here sharing your pain even though I can't trace your cut
I'm here in darkness and missing you my shine

& even if I have
to trek through hell
someday I'll find my
way to you... someday
I'll be the cold warmth in
your arms... believe me dear
much as I ain't any near,
much as you're there
and I'm here,someday
I'll find my way
home...just
be patient.
