Except My Tongue
JK Cabresos Oct 2011
Estranging those dusts of the morn
Truth be restored; peace be reborn;
Eyes can reflect each grief and gloom,
Scrutinize me 'fore world's doom.

Ne'er build fences for your heart!
Mark my footsteps o'er my past,
Hold me nothing than your parlance
Thus, adore me — except my tongue.

For eterne time may show my lies;
Howe'er, don't mourn upon each night
Open those eyes for who I am:
Then behoove me — except my tongue.

For future may seize you to change
But my persev'rance lasts no ends;
Bestow love with mere words to drown
And cherish me — except my tongue.

You're my breath, my ears and my voice
Tho 'tis diff'cult to be your choice,
I'll exult to all things I've done
If I'll be loved — except my tongue.

Don't Run Away
JK Cabresos Oct 2011
Doing this confession that I have never done before
'cause I don't like this aching heart to be prolonged:
I know you want someone more than I have been for,
but can you even treasure something about my words?

You were just a dream, I never thought I would have;
you were just a friend and it was change to love.
I would grab the opportunity just to tell everything I'm hiding:
and the reason is that, I can't go on just pretending.

But why can't you even look straight through my eyes?
Is there anything wrong if I say all the things I lied?
'Cause you know what? I'm the happiest person to have you
so please don't run away, I'll color up your days with my rainbow.

And now, it seems different 'cause you don't feel the same way
you can't even utter just a single phrase to make it clear to me:
please don't judge me from that moment I have found you,
'cause there was nothing which motivated me to tell these to you.

I just want to be honest as I'm now reading between the lines,
and please don't run away, please just stay by my side:
I should've told you lately when it was never too late,
'cause now the time has come for us to be fluctuated.

Better Than The Moonlight
JK Cabresos Sep 2012
You are better than the moonlight,
That lights my dark empty room;
That kisses the stars, that beholds the skies,
You are my every emotion,
My every piece of refined happiness,
Better than the moonlight, tonight.
Memories evoke every whisper of the wind,
You are everything I desire not to change
For in your eyes, is where my soul restores
And in your heart, is where my love ensures;
Better than the moonlight,
That carries us to a better place in Heaven,
That takes us to wishes, hopes, and dreams;
Better than the moonlight,
That resembles the truth of becoming as one,
That distinguishes the pain which now is gone;
And I wake up every lovely morning
Only to love you even more.

Peccavi
JK Cabresos Oct 2011
My weeks have been fluctuated since you were gone,
delusive questions are still thirsty for real answers.
My cries are prolonged beyond
these sweetest smiles,
and my heart beats for no one, like it never had.

The days turned cold because my arms are alone;
nothing but only you, can make me less forlorn.
I showed you diff'rent love, so unrequited
thus, 'tis my fault:
mistakes are undressed; I am lost.

'Twas just because we're becoming strangers again,
that your absence is taking me further with this pain.
I don't know how to perish sadness;
it already perished me:
and all I can do is to chase butterflies
on the isolated rain.

Truth was void, and I hope you understand,
that ev'ryone of us will be leaving from this land:
I never told you about my situation;
but belive me, my life is defined by loving you,
more than else could ever do.

May you will be moving on
because I will never be back here anymore;
and as you read this letter;
save your tears for tommorow.
My life was a journey, and you left me
along the diff'cult roads;
our love we conquered, was against all odds.

The door was closed; 'tis all set and done,
our mem'ries will be withered anyway on the ground.
and as you read this letter;
save my love for last.
Sorry and goodbye, are the best words to utter,
now that I'm already dead;
well, now that you already know what happened.
The rain was over.

Close Enough
JK Cabresos Jan 2013
We shared memories through the rain,
sharing pavements for every pain.
You cried for every moment I cried,
smiled for every moment I smiled.
You are my friend, my very best friend
who are there when I needed someone,
who makes me feel complete when I'm not
and stays even in the depths of my despair.

Suddenly, I fell apart that time I fell for you,
I'm scared, really scared of letting you go.
I tried to hide and just run away,
but it only lead me back to you.
I just couldn't even say each word
that was left hanging on my mind,
somehow, every little thing we shared together
was just close enough to make you mine.

I Was Perfected By You
JK Cabresos Feb 2012
And then I found my way back to the corners,
draining salty tears running on my face;
believing for someone's words to whisper,
then you came in the midst of my darkness.

Sudden shivers of my body may never calmed,
midnight sorrows, turned to calling her;
but I was strong enough to bury the pains I had,
for you told me to stand still when I was cursed.

And now loving you is still shrouded in mystery,
but these artifacts will remain for thousand years;
I was perfected by someone's imperfections, indeed,
and then I found my way back to the corners.

Alone
JK Cabresos May 2014
I thank you for the memories
I survived
Thank you for the time,

I thank you for the pain
And all the lies
That made me realize,

But now that I’m alone
How can I walk through the storm?
How can I move on?
Now that I’m alone
How can I be strong?
When there’s no love, no more,

I thought that will be forever
As we dreamt that night
Our love just fades away,

I thought you would never leave
As we promised that night
Why did you walk away?

I know someday
Someone will stay with me.
JK Cabresos Jan 2018
It’s easy to break
a loving heart,

perfect love
in ruins and scars,

he walked away
from her loving arms.

It’s easy to break
a loving heart,

perfect melancholy
of honeyed cries,

she’s a victim
of a troubled mind.

It’s easy to break
a loving heart,

perfect smiles
lost in wilderness,

once broken
it can’t be replaced.

An Old Odd Kiss
JK Cabresos Jun 2012
That moment
when you stood close
to my eyes
was when I felt
like dying with surprise,
I don't know how, or why
but those feelings
still abide.

Your love always satisfies
my deepest affection
towards you;
words may be left unspoken,
but I admit the fact
that I'm still stuck
with those
bittersweet memories.

That moment
you wrapped your arms
around me,
was when I couldn't help
but tremble;
so, why do we always eclipse
in this situation?

You came to conquer
these fences of my heart,
you're an angel
from a once Heaven's delight;
that old odd kiss
will ever stain that night,
and I would be hungover
whenever you left,
for it was very the first time...

I was drunk by your lips.

Hate
JK Cabresos Oct 2011
You are better than the best for me,
and I'm kinda shy, so I sometimes
     walked away;
I hate the way you caught me
     staring at you,
I hate the way I looked around,
     but there's nothing I can do.

So, I wearing all my favorite gestures;
much more, I can't stop reading
     your mind:
perhaps, you're the only exception
     I include
for you are the one who turned back
     my smiles.

I hate the way I can make you laugh,
for some reasons, you might recognize
     I'm into you:
yet I hate it when most of the time,
     I hide,
so maybe you think every time
     I'm dumb and cold.

But most of all
I hate the way I don't hate hate you
not even a blink,
not even a sound,
not even a word I pronounced.

Valley of Love
JK Cabresos Oct 2011
Lost,
with thy stranger in this valley of love;
we know nothing when it started
      and where the edge will be found.

Entrapped,
from thy mem’ries, but we’ve already escaped;
we hold each other’s heart and mind
      to consume the eterne time,
      with this intimacy we couldn’t e’er forget.


Wand’ring,
with thy stranger who changed my plans;
and now, if the world seems to blur,
      I’d rather to behove thy loving arms.

Trials,
sometimes could lead us to separate the walk;
but in fine of ev’ry misunderstanding,
      we could still foresee those chances
      to meet our hearts and minds at the same road.

Lessons,
as we crossed thy rivers and climbed thy peaks;
and tears, and smiles defined ev’ry chapter
      where this valley that we would take.

Estranging,
thyselves away from the woods, full of dangers;
thine eyes, was once puzzled,
      becometh our ways to be unknown:
      but still we promised, no promises shall be withered.

Forever,
might be benighted, thus, ne’er enough;
as long as we stand still
      with thy hearts and thy minds,
      we’d be together walking through this valley of love.

Thy Love Is Pure From Thee
JK Cabresos Oct 2011
Thy Love is pure from Thee,
no lies, nor fears
no pain, nor tears
for His Light is the reason I can see,
for Thee is my Savior, my Shepherd.

The Love is pure from Thee,
no boundaries, nor walls
no changes, nor faults
for He showed me the Right Path to take,
for Thee is Everything in Everyday.

Thy Love is pure from Thee
no numbness, nor dumbness
no loneliness, nor sickness
for He had forgiven all my wrongs,
for Thee's Heart is what I can call my Home.

Thee loves us unconditionally.
God Bless.

'Tis Christmas Time!
JK Cabresos Oct 2011
Let's now take our best bib and tucker in the closet,
'Tis already Christmas time all over the earth!
Wear your smiles that could turn on the day,
Bury all the worries, and don't forget
     to kneel onto Him and pray.

Giving presence is not the essential part
     of this most-awaited holiday,
Love; the thing that should surrounds us
     on our chosen way.
And we must have to celebrate this
     with a peaceful mind and a pure heart,
For 'tis Christmas time, and there are no reasons
     to be sudden apart.

He will be here again just to be with us,
And we ought to confess all the sins
     we made through the year:
Throw your pride on the garbage can
     and blow each imperfect ash;
'Tis Christmas time, and treasure all your peers.

He's the feather in one's cap;
     He's the Light!
For with His words and doings,
     we are healed this much.
Let's jump at the chances from this season of smiles,
For 'tis Christmas time once again,
     there are no reasons to be sad.

Beyond Compare
JK Cabresos Oct 2011
I've tried to balance my weight of love.
And I want to reach out again your hands:
Thus, here I am now thinking back all the care;
For I'm always falling for a girl beyond compare.

Even if I used to stand when I stumbled down,
I still prefer to hear your beautiful sound.
And when the chances are already closed for me,
Maybe I can wait forever, forever to make see.

I need you more than I have needed you yesterday:
And there are no doubts now which I could ever be,
I might have taken all those precious things for granted;
But, I'm here knocking once again before I'll be drifted.

Your heart is the most expensive gem I ever lost,
And I could find it again, but with a love as a cost.
If only I could freeze some moment that are gone forever,
I can show that I'm still for a girl beyond compare.

Empty Glass
JK Cabresos Apr 2012
I'm thirsty.
She haven't felt our hearts beat as one.
She let the tears spilled out
from my eyes;
caged me in this solitary moments.

I can't give her a perfect love story,
so caved for my own treasure,
but my treasure was a fool's gold;
when a girl's kisses,
suddenly is cold.
I refused all the pavements
for every wound she left to remember,
for I'm still searching for a person
who could fill this glass with water.

The end always the end.
But I still see
some of her refracted lights
on the mirrors;
forced me to recall
about the poignant past.
I admit, I let her expectations
perished into ashes of disappointments.

And I still do love her!
She always comes to visit in my dreams,
drawn me not to forget
every detail of her name.
I know we are only separated
by space and time
so I'll wait for her
till no more morning arrives,
for many have tried,
and many have failed;
still no one--
could fill this glass with water.

Staring at the ceiling
trying to hide from mem'ries
we've been through
now, I'm free from tears,
but why can't I still forget you?

Your shadow crossed mine
but it never took so long,
your lips touched mine,
your arms wrapped around me,
and then left here so alone.

Why did you go away?
When I've almost given ev'rything.
I trusted you.
I forgave you.
Why?

I'm free from being intoxicated.
I'm free from being insane
but why am I still looking after you,
thinking where have you been?

Free.
Yes! I'm free!

That's what I believe.
I don't know if I'm lying
or what.

But at the end of the day,
I keep on running from the past,
I keep on rememb'ring some mem'ries of us
and it brought me...

Must I fear evil? I should not!
For whom I must fear is my God.
Who cares me. Who departs not;
Who shares love. Who gives light
(To which its lurk showed me the way).
For God, Himself, is the beauty of every purest day.

I am blind, yet I can perceive.
I am dumb, yet I can speak.
I am poor, yet I am rich.
I am rejected, yet I am accepted.
Must I fear evil? I should not!
For God saves me from that Land of Nod.

My heart dwells always upon His arms
When there’s no chance, He delivers chance
With this Nature, I can wander not alone
With that Heaven, Heaven is my Home;
For my God’s Love, time can always reveal
That I should fear Him, Jesus, not the evil.

If Thy Love Has Begun
JK Cabresos Oct 2011
If thy love has begun, foresee but lies
It might be the ruins to things which rhyme.
Minds be awaken haply ev'ry morn
And perceive a day as if 'tis the last:
Trust thy heart to a tongue, resembles truth
Walk a road that'd ne'er lead to a lost,
And teach oneself to be freed from the scars
To forget the pain from those lonely cries.
If thy love has begun, sail through the wind
Ne'er be afraid to fall, ne'er be afraid;
Smile for happ'ness, grieve for the hard times:
Let thy love decides diff'rent kind of eyes,
For no one can resist or hide from this
Thus, if thy love has begun, accept it.

L-O-V-E
JK Cabresos Oct 2011
Love is not love —
at first sight,
'tis ne'er love
if there are lies;
'tis neither a rainbow after each rain
nor a remedy for once yesterday's pain.

Love is not love —
with just words to express,
'tis should be drawn to actions, ne'ertheless:
'tis neither steepy mountains
to be moved
nor clouds at the azure sky above.

Love is not love —
if tears weren't shown for distances;
but being far away
  is just a matter of time:
'tis not an air that can make us breathe,
but one of the reasons
why we live.

Love is undefined —
from the absence of two hearts,
'tis should be distinguished
among all the odds;
'tis neither an ocean,
  a pearl, a sunshine
nor the dawn, the day, the night
for love — is love.

Never Knew Love
JK Cabresos Oct 2011
Stranger came into my nights, and changed it;
the stars shines along the eyes of the moon,
the wind blows perfectly where time meets dawn
and the seeds of thy journey grew e'en more.

This stranger showed the strands of ev'ry truth;
I could still see her between horizons:
whenever love is just, thus, love's a proof
ev'ry pain will be healed for ev'ryone.

The voice of an angel, so sweet and soft;
I fin'lly found one of those things I lost,
through the world laughed upon my countless fall
she were there to remind me of my worth.

She's the reason why sun rose inside me,
why I can still walk, though I stumbled down:
she offered love, thus, love is in return;
I never knew love until I found her.

I never knew love then, 'twas hidden
now, 'tis in my blood which runs through my veins:
for love be pured, thus, ne'er to be declined;
and only diamonds could break its kind.

     I have now my only one, I'm complete whenever he's near."


Months later...

She said:
     "Will you come to me, and hold me tight?
     He was just a man of broken dreams to take those bites:
     I was under on his skin, but I swept the dusts away;
     so now I'm running back, back to the place I have stayed."

Only If…
JK Cabresos Sep 2012
Now I’m drawn to looking at her pictures,
whispering words; I do really miss her.
She doesn’t know how much I do,
but I have to hide my feelings then;
I could have told her that I like her this much,
suddenly this heart of mine always refrains.
So crazy as it sounds, so crazy as it seems,
so crazy, yes! I’m crazy falling out for her;
but I want to send her my kisses and hugs,
just in case, she might still be needing my love.
I want her to know how much I treasure her,
with all those memories we spent together;
but there’s no chance at all, indeed
for maybe her feelings for me has already faded.
If only I could bring back the way were before,
if only I had never left her lost in the woods,
if only I was the one who made her smile when she was sad,
if only  I could still be the one she ever loved…
…only if…only if…only if….
A poem for my special friend, well, it's a long story. Now, I don't know if she could still recognize those feelings as it was yesterday.
