Smile love and take a deep breath because this forever just you and me. Holding hands and kissing while laughing is showing all the love we have. Your touch is like a spark. Seeing you smile means the world to me. Dreams are sweet when you are next to me. This is what my life is all about. Just you and me.

Just you and me is all I ever wanted. Our memories float like dreams. Keeping us aloft and above the trees. I don't want to let go of your hand. I feel safe when you are near. You erase the pain and all my fears. Just saying I love you can bring me to tears.

Seeing stars in the sky reminds me of hope. I know this from the look on your face together we'll stay. You kiss me lightly but love me hard. This is something everyone has ever wanted.

Wanting is an understatement. No words can possibly describe. The look thats in your eyes sends a chill down my spine. A shiver of excitement and a shake of anticipation. There is something that I have never felt and it keeps me alive tonight. No matter how far I seem to fall, it seems there is always more depth to this hole. A hole that is never-ending and with feelings like this why would I want it to end

Love is something everyone deserves. Finding it with you was something unplanned but very exciting. At the end of each night being here with you I thank god that I have all I need. I couldn't have anything as important to me as you.

Love is amazing, like a bright and starry night. It can make sadness fall away in tears of joy or anger subside in fits of laughter. Love is the purest emotion that one can feel but the hardest emotion to give up on. Love will build you up and make you strong and make the days easy to take on. It is the strongest four letter word ever created and the hardest one to speak unless you mean it

Hate isn't a thought for you or I. This ring from you is nothing but the symbol. We give love a definition and nothing breaks the bond we will spend a lifetime building. It's just you and me together forever babe.

An eternity together and forever in love. Seems like something from a fairy tale. I will  try my best to keep the bond. I will do my best when it comes to our love

Proving love isn'ty needed when it comes to you. I know from the look in your eyes and the smile on you face this is it. I maybe a very big dork but you are always there with me. This is as real as anything could be

It is so real to both you and me but for some reason it feels like this is a dream. If it is then I never want to wake and if it isn't I hope I never go to sleep. To keep you safe in my arms is something I long to do. To keep you close to my heart is something I can't live with out. Some say its like Romeo and Juliet but who are they to judge? We aren't what others wish us to be. We are just... you and me and together I want us to be...forever and eternity

You would only be crazy to call this a dream. But you always do have your head in the clouds. You say I'm beautiful but I never do think so. We are two peas in a pod like rebels in a small town. They said we would never last but here we are in love as ever.

rebel against the views they hold. Tear down the walls they set before us. We will overcome any obstacle and any failure that may come before us. Even if I have to carry you on my back and bear the burden of their criticism alone. I promise you I will never let you go

You are dear to my heart and I pray I'll never lose you. Arguing with you is the funniest thing ever. I couldn't ever be mad at you no matter what. I can't even think of my life without you and though we are only so young planning a future together is something that will only take a lifetime to do. The only thing I hope I do right is that I make you happy.
*This poem was written as a back forth between myself and an old girlfriend through text messages. I finally took the time to write it all on the computer.
Does happiness ever actually come?
Day to day I tell myself
that it's just around the corner,
but it seems these days like
I'm stuck in an infinite cul-de-sac.
A dead end that I've been stuck at since
the time we were no longer on this
road together.
I desperately need to know what
it's like to not wake up everyday
and question if I'm ever going to
get better. If there will be a time
in which I no longer need my poetry.
I no longer need a source of venting.
Venting that only spirals me down,
down a path that is impossible to climb
back up from. From a tortured soul, I
wish you could see that I'm not healing.
Healing only happens to those strong enough
to fix the pieces of themselves that
the world so effortlessly shattered.

Shattered. You left me broken, in
a million puzzle pieces that no one
can put back together. I'll
never get to be whole again. The image
of myself you left me tainted with is
a disaster. It appears as though
you took my edges,
and no one ever starts a puzzle from the inside.
Just some words to fill my semi-daily, heartbreak-venting quota.
A leaf fell,
Trees grew burnt,
Had lost our names inside a heart.
Time gone apart from the clockturns;
We forgot where we sat.
A leaf fell, ever gone away.
Your heart longed cold,
Had swum the abysmal depth of forgetting.
I have this friend across the pond
As bright as clear-night stars
Intelligent and talented
And faster than souped up cars

But she has her flaws, alas
As all the best poets do
I know this to be a fact, of course
Who hasn't got one or two?

After all, it has to be said
Perfection is lack of character to me
So I'm keeping my eye on my talented friend
And watch as her mind flies free

                                                By Phil Roberts
As i wait, the sun dried all the leaves
Days have become dull and boring
Picturing you next to me is hard to imagine
Even the smile in your photograph is not helping me

Cobwebs starts to form in the ceiling
Your scent still lingers on my pillow
I miss your whole being
Your sweet talk at nights is what i longed for

Nothing but you, who floats in this clouds of thoughts
Come back and make this fantasy come to life
I don't see anybody fulfilling my wish but you
Lay down next to me and forget the world

Come out of the lamp and be my genie tonight
And hear my simple wish of three, Stay with me,
Love me and Understand me
Embrace the concealed scars deep in my soul
Catch the sickness that makes everyone leave this place called 'home'
Get in touch with the part of me that you haven't seen
Cause you have to love me for what i am

I am one of the pages in your book
That you cannot skip, scan or skim through
Every definition of the words, you have to expound carefully
The context seems difficult to understand at first

But i can promise you this,
It will be the best read you'll ever had
We could start on a blank page to write our own
The ending doesn't need to always be a happy one, i know it won't,
I just want you to be the one who will make it all alive

Never underestimate the power of persistence
It is one of the many forms of love

Don't judge the book by it's cover,
Cause you know covers don't lie
When you picked me out of a million stars in the night
I knew right then why some people cry,
From so much joy, it felt like my heart is going to burst

You can comeback to recall the memories
That's all the things that you know about me,
I'm just a memory,
Someone that you used to know

Until today, i'm waiting for someone to love me for what i am
Like you promised me to
I hope i can get access to real love for just temporary
Like how you borrow books from the library

Even if it's time is limited,
You are the pen that has power to write this romance
But it wasn't about us,
I wanted to see, hear and feel love even if they're words on a paper
Even if it wasn't for us
Kay dami nang hindi mo katulad ang sinarahan ko ng pinto
Hindi labag sa aking kalooban na mag papasok kung sino-sino
Para mag kalat, mang gulo, at bantayan ang mahalagang bagay sa akin
Dahil alam ko na ikaw ang tahanan ko
At nakalaan to para sayo

Ikaw ang banyo na binabalik balikan ko na parang balisawsaw ako

Ang kusina na nagsilbing lugar, para iluto ko ang putahe na mas matamis pa sa mga ngiti mo

Ang silid kainan, kung saan lahat ng gusto mo ay inihain, dulot ng pagmamahal ko

Ang sala, kung saan ang tinig ng halakhak at tawanan ay maingat na tinatabunan ang pintig ng puso,

Ang aparador, kung saan nakatago lahat ng liham na dapat basahin mo

At ang kwarto, kung saan bumubuhos ang luha, na naging takbuhan ko tuwing nalulungkot ako,

Sabay mahigpit na yakap sa unan nang hindi ako bitawan nito

Ikaw ang susi para mabuo ang tahanan ko,
Isang katok lang ang tunog na gusto kong marinig galing sayo
Kung pwede lang tanggalin ang pinto na nakaharang dito
Ito'y gagawin ko

Isang sulyap lang kahit may harang na matataas na bakuran na nakapaligid sakin ay masaya na ako
Ipaalam mo lang na hinahanap ako ng mga mata mo dahil para sayo ito

Gusto ko nang ipaalam sayo,
Ang mga lihim, na wala nang espasyo para ipaglagyan pa
Gusto ko nang ipaalam sayo,
Na ikaw ang gusto ko, sya lang ang kailangan ko
Gusto ko nang ipaalam sayo,
Na tunay kang mahal nito

At sana'y alam mo ang lihim ko,
Na gusto kong ako ang maging tahanan ng puso mo
first ever tagalog poem
A hollow monster
Swimming through every vein
Residing in all of my heart
Slowly flaming its destruction
Across my drying flesh
With every timely beat
Of my chest's sorrow tune

A disruptive demon
Always whispering in my ear
Bringing doubt to every occasion
And igniting the past's hold
Like a noose as a wick

A tiresome moon
As little a companion to the night
As the love that died in one month's time
A dim crescent
Hanging from the vast empty black
That hides all that is a hope too far

A horrific thought*
That walks through my door
Uninvited, as a regular guest
And takes his seat at the edge of my bed
He tells his tale of how all will fail
And my grave will be dug for one
A birdy once told me,
It is not who you are,
that makes the difference,
it is what you're
able to become
that defines who
you really are.
