Stanley crawled along the shore
Holding the ocean in his hand
Bearing the words "Nevermore"
He was quite justifiably mad.

He had without, a coin to his name.
Nor the age of someone wiser.
Stanely, without thinking met a dame.
Who shared his love of a ****** writer.

I refrain from telling you so thusly.
But I authored this text thinking of me.
In my room, on a bed.
Too bad no one likes reading about poor people.

Stanelys dame had given him hope.
And tore it slowly without a sound.
Crushing, to his very soul.
He refused to swim, preferring to drown.

But I dare not say where stanely ends.
Or where his story dared to lead.
He did not drown within those depths.
How poetic that must have been.

Stanely looked upon the beach.
Feeling four winds at his heels.
His writers note had overreached.
And stanely cried, forgetting that girl.
I'd prefer dark comedy writing.
There's a lesson to be learned
In crying at 3:00 am
Missing the one
You never got along with.
And how lonely it is
To constantly know
That you are the one
Who cares the most.

I traveled to a city where the buildings kissed the clouds and the streets were so loud I couldn't even think
but in the midst of all of the beautiful chaos I still managed to think of you
we weren't even talking at the time and I thought of you
I thought of how you'd admire the city with your excited eyes and squeeze my hand every time something caught your interest
I thought of how we'd walk the streets and parks for hours and just talk about every little thing
I thought of how we'd lie awake at 4am whispering sweet sleepy words
I thought of how I wished you were mine
I was in the middle of such a beautiful city
everything was so new to me
and all I wanted to do
was share it with you

Life is like a sea
Our problems, feelings memories
Are its tiny creatures
Our body is like an island
Floating into its water........

Life is a lie
But i dont know why
It is like an illusion
Which has many great fusions
The fusions of emotion, devotion and expression
Who cant get out of these illusions
I think life is a lie for those humans
Understand the meaning of life
As if you dont life can become a lie for you
But if can understand you will be alive only because of you
Life is not just about #sadness #tears #problems ... It is beyond these illusions

nagsasayaw nang hubad
ang aromang umaaso,
kumakabog ang dibdib,
nanginginig ang mga braso,
daluyong kang raragasa
sa lalamunan kong tuyo,
ang tambalang pait-tamis
pulot at dagtang pinaghalo.

DEAR DEATH:
not today will I yes play
within your mystery door.
For I have dreams to for-fill
so I will say no more.

now I come to write
DEAR LIFE:
Come, embrace, so fine.
I have visions now so bright.
to live and write in rhyme.

Come sweet life anoint me please
with your winds and rains.
They drift in my wake of day,
as my gifts I do claim.

DEAR, DEAR LIFE,
I do confess I love you so you see.
I have grown to love myself,
to prosper and be free.

Free to wander, free to roam
inside life I’m here.        
On path of life I shall stay
so death door disappear.

One thing about the rain
It's not just water nor droplets
But bullets of different emotions
A match stick that burns your soul
In a deep, vague coldness

Some found happiness from it
I once did
And some did find something
They did not want nor expect

But a thing about the rain
You will always find something
It will always give you a thing
Even if you're not aware
And when you're not aware
Let me tell you that it's the rain

A thing about the rain
It's a door that leads to places you once went
It opens widely for a rent
More than being water, it is a memory
Although you cannot tell
If it is the same place
You once longed to be
We cannot say that the door is safe
Nor is it free

Some were trapped
Some managed to escape
Some managed to smile
And I managed to fear
I fear that rain would prolong and
Would bear a fruit
But it didn't
It just plucked up a great root

How wonderful the rain could be
How it crashed to ground a resilient tree
How one could change with a single memory
And how rain triggers my anxiety
