i liked it better
when love was a lovely rose
not a prickly thorn
when you carried soft eyes for me
and not a heart of stone

it took me so long
to find out what is wrong
is it me or these sad songs
that keeps me from being strong
and i realize it's always been because of you—
you're still the missing piece i need all along
The blank slate
A vibrant space
Life looks so empty
Yet imaginations are many
What we see may lie
What lies in us won't die
Just stay put and draw the pen
Just stay put and let it flow
The thoughts those dreams
For loved one's to feel
We live for others
A life to give
Let's make a difference
For it's all worth
When at least a single life is touched

I* saw my reflection in the glass that I lifted to my face. It was the

reflection of a drunken disappointment,  and this red wine tasted

like  loneliness and sad  poetry. I don't know what you did to

me, but

Hemingway,  Neruda and Fitzgerald all went down in history,

and I'm starting to understand why. Unrequited love. One  more sip

and the next drunken  poet is me.

Rebel Heart
If you're a pencil,
then I'm the paper,
We're perfect together,
but not forever.

Lean on me,
tell me your deepest lies.
Show me your true self,
what's under that disguise.

Spill your secrets,
Color me grey
Tear off my edges,
Mean what you want to say.

Fill me up
With your darkest thoughts.
Leave me stranded,
Alone in your room.
Let me down
With your fancy words,
And leave me to my doom.

I'll shrivel up over the ages.
With your secrets locked inside.
But you'll forget me and move on,
For the world I have died.

Because I existed
only for you
for your smiles
and the pictures you drew.
But I guess I was stupid
you never even knew
how much
I truly...
Loved You...
And now I'm just a forgotten broken sheet of endless memories with no purpose...
Sugar on your lips
I like the taste
My hands on your hips
Makes home on your waist

Pull me in close
Let's ignite a flame
You are a drug i overdose
I'm a wild dog you need to tame

Honey from your tongue
I take a sip
It is with you I belong
Your being is my keep

Sincerely Em
I've been sailing the galaxies
Through a strong wind of stars
Many times, Gravity called upon me
But I've laid my anchor on Mars

Of all the wide seas and vast oceans
From Earth I chose to be afar
Here the heavens swore me an oath
Near me shall come no harm

I swing my anchor and climb to the moon -
To count my blessings upon stellar skies
My sight falls to the dock near Mars
Meteor showers fill my sailboat with sighs

It is longing for home, my little wooden boat
White clouds hugging blue waters
Take your anchor; sail to your heart's desire
And tell Gravity that I've grown fonder -

Of my soul that has spread its sails
Across waters of black and winds of shinning hue
And when night comes to mother Earth
Let them gaze upon my soul a-birth, anew
Clouded emotions then clear emotions then denial were basically the recipe for a writer's block. I feel grateful for the split second these words came rushing into my soul. Acceptance was the key.

Sincerely, Em
Verse 1:
Wala sa yong mga mata
Ang kinang, kislap, na dati kong nasisilayan.
Bakit? Yan ang sinasabi ng
mga tala, buwan, maging kalangitan
na tuwing gabi’y ito ang nakikita
sa piling mo’t tabi. Ako’y nasasabik
sa yakap at halik.  

Bridge 1:
Aking inaasahan
na sanay di sabihing mawawaglit
ang oras, natirang sandali.

Chorus:
Sa pagpanaw mo nagkakadahilan
kung bakit ako’y nanatili’t,
naniniwala sa walang hanggan.

Verse 2:
Kahit may ibang magparamdam
Sayo ako, pangako yun magpakailan man.
Bakit? Dinig ko sa paligid ko
Sayo lang nabuo wasak kong mundo
Nang nag-iisa’y ikaw lang kasama.
Sa yakap at halik, sayo ko nabatid
na mahal kita.  

Bridge 2:
Aking inaalala
Sa panahong ika’y nabubuhay pa
ang oras, natirang sandali.

Chorus:
Sa pagpanaw mo nagkakadahilan
kung bakit ako’y nanatili’t,
naniniwala sa walang hanggan.

Sa walang hanggan
Naniniwala sa walang hanggan

Ang oras, at natirang sandali.
Naniniwala
