Sonnet 074
MMV Abad Sep 2011
A hymn inside my head, your voice so dear,
you haunt me in my sleep and in my wake.
Somewhere deep within, your whisper I hear,
crisp and clear, as perfect as a heart ache.
Sad images I keep, nightmares I take.
Still, I go forward onto my own road,
towards the rising sun for my soul’s sake.
How I’ve prayed my heart be free of this load-
of the memory of your lovely voice,
or a tomorrow not meant for this world.
Thus, heart’s happiness is always a choice,
to go on and live as a wise man told.
Forever lingering, scars will not mend,
yet, someday its feel a forgotten fiend.

Ten Minute Temptation
MMV Abad Sep 2011
Steady pour of the rain,
a hypnotic hymn.
The morning air grows cold,
a warm blanket’s comfort.

Must get up for the day,
no more time for delays.
Still the entranced mind sleeps.
Ten more minutes, please.

Some moments gone astray,
satisfying embrace.
The blanket’s coziness,
my sweet pillow’s softness.

Waking up with a start,
panic gripped my heart.
Peaceful moments, a bait.
Now, I am really late.

Just Saying Thanks
MMV Abad Sep 2011
Life can be a burden,
sometimes maddening.
One can feel the pain.
This world can be tiring.

In my darkest moment,
I wanted to run.
With such bitterness,
wanted to end everything.

But, there was always you.
In my desperate hour,
you’ve given me hope,
Shown me my path to go.

You might not realize it,
I’m so glad you came.
You gave meaning to my life.
Thanks for being here.

From Bright to Grey Skies
MMV Abad Sep 2011
Lovely day
sunny sky
Brightens me
Lifts me up
A new day
Full of hope
Inspires me
Excites me
Friends faces
Lots of laughs
Easy talk
Delightful walk
Then it pours
Icy cold
Spine tingling
Reaching the soul
Lonely day
So grey sky
Happy heart
Turning sad
No changes
Helpless case
My deep sorrow
I need to go.

The Gift of Time
MMV Abad Sep 2011
A little girl was excited,
on one special gift, delighted.
With the sweet thought, she slept,
hoped for the promise be kept.

Early morning, there were gifts,
boxes with beautiful lids.
From the love of her father,
pretty gifts like no other.

But the little girl frowned.
The missing gift was learned.
Her father, she was hoping,
had left for a meeting.

My friends, the message is clear
In love, remember so dear;
It is a commitment.
Let time be its fulfillment.

Christmas Angel
MMV Abad Sep 2011
They are charming figurines,
molded in smooth porcelains.
With the sweet face of a child,
their lovely wings speak their kind.
Garbed in robes of white and gold,
they are quite a dear to hold.
Such beauties in Christmas trees.
Some real wonders to see.
Yet angels are more than that.
They are messengers of God.
An angel represents hope,
a promise of peace and love.

'More than a Christmas ornament.'
MMV Abad Sep 2011
Three wise men searching.
In a wide desert, looking.
A child was promised.

Myrrh, gold and incense,
wonderful presents they bring.
Fit for a true king.

A bright star, their guide.
Its light illuminating,
showing the right way.

Upon a stable,
the star shines brilliantly.
At last, He is found!

Shepherds are gathered.
Animals around are hushed.
The place is tranquil.

Angels are singing,
voices soft yet glorious.
Rejoicing for Him.

And there, the child sleeps.
In a soft manger He lays.
The world is at peace.

Heaven in My Arms

You are my sunshine
A splendid warmth
Such a joy in my heart.

You are my rain
Innocent longing tears
I dry them with kisses.

You are my heaven
Enchanting face so bright
My little delight.

You were tiny back then
My little man
Now you’ve grown up.

Still you have that smile
So amazing
Simply dazzling.

You are my little one
Mine to hold
My gift from above.

Love and Deception
MMV Abad Sep 2011
It started with one call
A silly girl’s prank
I shouldn’t have agreed
I have my decency.

You were fooled by my friend
Gave you a false name
She laughed with you at ease
I listened with such tense.

Suddenly, she was gone
The phone was in my hand
I heard your warm voice
Reluctantly, I spoke.

You didn’t realize
Didn’t seem to notice
It had been a tease
Thus, began a tale of lies.

Some things to clarify;
I am a lady
I have my dignity
I think myself highly.

But to hear you- a treat
To know you more- a gift
What am I to do?
You know I love you.

For every deception
I’d given up my soul
For every sweet lies
I’d swallowed my pride.

Caught in my own game
A web of my own making
My conscience haunts me
The truth must be free.

Will you love me for being me?

Fruit Bearing Trees
MMV Abad Sep 2011
Criticism is a law of life,
and still, an awful price.
It speaks for the best of men,
and yet, crushes many dreams.
It is an excellent reminder,
for us to strive… work better.


We may never win, as we take the test.
We may please some, but never the rest.


Facing criticism may be tough.
We tend to break and lose all hopes.
Better think of trees,
bearing the most sweetest fruits.
And of little boys,
mischievous, hungry for sports.


How they ignore trees without fruits,
but love to throw at trees bearing fruits.
'Conquering criticism.'

Becoming a Man
MMV Abad Sep 2011
How she wanted to be a man,
to be the conqueror of worlds.
Glory will be in her hands.
She will speak of her mind,
and the nation will listen.

How she envied every man.
He who has the strength,
to make his dreams come true.
And he who has the pride,
to speak of all his women.

How she wished she was a man.
To be free from her disguise,
as she ventures through the night.
And to roam the wildest streets,
no chaperone… on her own.

Yet, she wouldn’t sacrifice,
Her pretty pearls and laces.
Some true lady’s delight.
And she won’t give up her gift,
to bear the child of her man.

Haven
MMV Abad Sep 2011
I can hear their voices
Bewildered, in chaos
No more laughter, no more cajoling
My turn to sneer.

A lover has come
Poor soul, how they mock him
How they tease him
But, they wouldn’t dare tell him.

Go on find me!
I urge them
My lover waits
Grows impatient by the minute.

Pitiful being
He doesn’t feel
He doesn’t understand
My heart belongs to someone else.

My back aches
My heart hurts more
Ironies of life
Unfair, unjust!

Here I am trapped with him
When I should be with you
Yet, how would you know?
You have chosen another.

Frantic footsteps approaching
Angry, worried whisperings
Searching for me
I can only smile bitterly.

Go on find me!
Burn this place if you please!
Warm liquid in my eyes
My soul cries.

Life barbarism!
Man selects his woman as he desires
A woman waits to be seen
Why can’t a woman walk up to the man she pleases?

Easy talk below, assurances
Finally he is leaving
But, I won’t budge
Not just yet.

I’m in the solace of my own embrace
Let me dry my tears
That I can be stronger
To crawl out into the world once more.

Internet Addict
MMV Abad Sep 2011
Sleep deprived,
I have lost weight.
With only three to four hours of sleep.
He said, "Quit it or I'll get it!"

Dark circles,
under my eyes.
I looked like a white faced zombie.
He warned, "Get in control or else!"

Unfocused,
hard to hear him.
I am entranced with great wonders.
He told me, he misses the old me.

Awaken,
my conscience stirred.
Yet, addicting power overwhelms.
Now he threatened me, he will cut it!

Unfeeling,
but still caring.
He said, he'll stop paying for the Net!
I laughed... shot back, "I'll rent somewhere else!"

A Poem for Me
MMV Abad Sep 2011
Do me a poem my sweet.
Recalling our younger years.
How we used to write notes.
Now, my heart longs for your words.

I want a poem my dear.
I’ll treasure every bit of it.
Make it sweet or corny,
I promise, I will be happy.

You said, you have lost touch.
Tried and tried but, no such luck.
No more beautiful rhymes.
Yet, still… I know you’ll find the lines.

I know you do love me.
This fact, I am always certain.
Your gestures say it all.
Do me a poem, don’t let me down.

Write me a poem, my love.
You know I can make the words.
I can say what you feel.
But, it is never the same.

I want a poem from you.
Write your promise that is so true.
Make me smile, my darling.
Let me fall in love again.

Not A Man
MMV Abad Sep 2011
He told you he cares for you
They are trouble
He doesn’t want you involved
He gazed upon your face
Tried to read you
You gave him your broken look
He wanted to soothe you
To speak of love
You didn’t want to hear more
He said there’s no other choice
No other way
So, he chose the other girl.

                                                          ­           '
How you’ve cried your feelings out
To trust in him
Believing into something
Cry no more my dear girl
He’s not a man
Not even, to stand for him
He said he’s in love with you?
But to prefer you
He simply cannot do
They will hurt you, he told you
He won’t have that
He can never protect you.

singing sweet songs for you.
They knew you were something,

You came to me as the sun,

You became my rainbow,
showed me the beauty of earth.


Hear the birds sing once again,
hear my voice sing for you.

wishing you joy in the world.

Honor Thy Old People
MMV Abad Sep 2011
Senior citizens can be a pain.
They could drive you insane.
Some can be so demanding.
Others so threatening.

No one can be deafer than them.
Most choose not to listen.
They could spend hours of debate,
on a topic all over again.

A lot, I had been enraged by them.
They had been a nuisance.
I had cheated and been triumphant.
Old people are they not?

Then, I realized; Young as I am.
Soon, my skin will wither.
I shall be one of those old Madame,
often not understood.

Light Bearer
MMV Abad Aug 2011
She is no goddess,
not even a beauty.
Just a plain old lady,
yet see her face.
How her sweet smile,
enlightens someone’s heart.

He is no scholar,
not even a wise one.
An ordinary man,
yet he listens.
How his kind ears,
saves someone from peril.

They are no angels,
not ethereal beings.
See their feet on the ground,
yet, light bearers-
stars of the lost,
sanctuaries of the sad.

Not a mere mortal,
you are something divine.
Let your light touch their souls,
heed their soft cries,
open your heart.
You are a light bearer.

Hear the children’s laughter,
it is all the same.
High pitched and infectious,
a dear for the ears.

Black, white, brown or yellow,
they have the same smile.
Well nourished or starving,
they have one desire.

Some good fortune for kids,
having a true home,
with someone to hold them.
Someone to kiss them.

But an ill fate for those,
having such a house,
and not a home to go.
No one to embrace.

Yet… still blessed beings,
seeing no evil,
hearing only good things.
Uncorrupted minds.

Let children, be children.
Make them see beauty.
Show them the precise way,
let love be their light!

He is an earthly warrior,
strong and bold within his soul.
Yet still a mere mortal,
his body suffers pain.


His battle has not ended,
much blood lost, but pride remains.
More trials still at hand,
sacrifices to face.


Courage will not desert him.
The cold may gnaw him tonight.
Wounds may ceaselessly bleed.
Then all will come to pass.


As dawn touches his sorrow,
night will soon come to an end.
He’ll rise again for war,
for his scars will soon mend.

No silver white cascades,

Not a porcelain skin.

An ordinary girl,
with a stance of a queen.
Her tender lips a tease,
her hardened heart, cold-ice.


Innocence has been lost,
such loathing for mankind.
To betray her trust.
To leave her  behind.


Love has broken her soul,
yet her destiny speaks.
Love will find her again,

Ending A Chapter
MMV Abad Apr 2011
Every novel has chapters.
Long and short divisions,
with beginnings and endings.
A truth for everything.

Some chapters are not their best,
We skip them for the next.
Others, some lovely read,
we never want to end.

Life has also chapters.
Beginnings and endings,
with unwanted periods,
and wholesome moments.

How we find it easy,
to let go of the bad times.
And difficult to rid,
of life’s conveniences.

It’s very frightening,
to wake up in a new world.
And quite depressing,
to see someone we love, go.

Yet, pleasant or bad chapters,
either has its own time.
Every chapter must come to an end,
for a new adventure to begin.

You understand my pain.
We share the same passion.
You look into my soul.

And I’ll always be proud.

Her tears wouldn’t stop.
The decision was in her hands.
She’s helpless… confused,
as she watches a loved one dies.

She loathed the fact.
Yet, she must face it and accept.
A real dead-end.
She only wished, she wasn’t there.

She hated herself,
to think its all for the best.
She loves him so much.
to see him in pain, an ill luck.

She cries, stares outside,
beyond the clearest glass-window.
She looks at the sky,
orange and violet colors.

Such beautiful sight!
Amazing… delightful picture.
More pain-stabs in her heart.
But then, her mind begins to clear.

She silently prays,
lets go of her precious father.
God will be with him.
No more suffering in heaven.

A Smile
MMV Abad Apr 2011
A smile is a joy for the heart,
an expression of being glad.
How people tend to fall in love,
with a person who smiles a lot.

Yet, people smile when they are sad.
They try to keep their grief inside.
Some people smile when they are mad.
They hide their rage in pretty masks.


Evil can lurk behind a smile.
Friendly and attractive, beware.
A lovely promise of allegiance,
and then, betrays you to your foes.


A genuine smile reaches the eyes.
It emanates pure from the soul.
Well described in innocence.
Seen, in the lips of a child.

for something serious

She’s a strong woman
with such great will
She’s a fighter
She would battle for her life
for us
She wouldn’t want to leave us
But, God has plans
And so, mother, we are letting you go

Onto the door, she knocks.

Part of her screams….
Decency!
She loses her color
But stands firmly by the door
Courage will not fail her!

It’s a mistake
Soon, her regret
She’s a fool!
Yet, who can blame this soul?
Waiting comes to an end
Finally, her heart speaks.

No promises
Some rejections
More heart-breaks
The yearning must be answered
Shattered spirit as it is
Love suffering must end.

She sees his face
Pure innocence
So naïve
How could he not notice?
I love you! Her soul weeps
Quivering, she spits the words.

She looks at him
Calm eyes of his
No replies
Unreadable expressions
Agonizing heart beats
Awkward silence ….

Silent Cries
MMV Abad Jan 2011
I can hear your sobs
You’ve fallen out of love
Regrets…. confusion
My heart bleeds with yours.

You tell me I’m a mistake
One awful nightmare
Anguished cries
Your gloom haunts me.

One bright tomorrow
Devastated beyond repair
Crushed dreams
Broken future.

I sympathize with you
Let my arms be your comfort
Let me shower you with love
But please, spare me.

They say I’m only a blood
Nothing more to waste
Yet understand my humanity
Let me live, my mother…

Dying Light
MMV Abad Jan 2011
She looks at the horizon,
blue-violet against the sun.
Fading into the open sea,
calm as her breath.

A sudden pain in her chest,
her heart beats fast.
Fear grips her down.
But, wanes with her moan.

She remembers laughter,
beautiful memories.
She remembers life trials.
How she conquered them all!

She remembers love,
all she took and gave.
She remembers nothing more,
no ill feelings within her.

She smiles and stares,
beyond the fading light,
past the emerging stars.
Finally, she’s at peace.
'A beautiful death.'

Birth
MMV Abad Jan 2011
When does life begin?
At the crack of dawn,
as a new born wails
in the arms of his mum?

In his early teens?
When discoveries unfold,
first heart-aches seen?
Trials of a man-child.

Or, in his forties?
Serious commitments,
responsibilities,
as the body deteriorates?

Life starts with a promise.
First rays of the sun,
then suddenly demise
into big drops of rain.

Life can be bitter.
Yet, if we can see through…
Accept life better.
Only then, we can breathe.

Nasty Weather
MMV Abad Jan 2011
Dark, grey clouds in the sky,
unending rain cascades.
Some chilly air blows by
as it swirls savagely.
Water drips everywhere,
icy cold and sticky wet.
Some inconveniences,
bad weathers of our lives.
How we wish for the sun.
How we hope for such warmth.
Then again, after the rain…
A rainbow may be seen.
And, there is always tomorrow
for the sun may chose to show.
But, then again, if not…
Just don’t forget our umbrella,
for us to make it through the rain.

Trust
MMV Abad Jan 2011
Many times, you have been fooled
of beautiful promises.
Yet, you still hold,
waiting for news.

Countless times, you have been hurt
of people you dearly love.
How you’ve grown numb.
And still you hope.

You’ve encouraged many lies,
smiled with your innocent face.
You can only sigh,
wait for the best.


You seek for sincerity,
of mankind’s pure honesty.
Imperfections-
such faults of men.


You can only sympathize,
being human as they are.
To trust and hope,
for the good within their hearts.

An Angel Without Wings
MMV Abad Jan 2011
Majestic ethereal being,
beautiful creature from above.
More than a perfect face,
noble heart without flaws.


He walks among mortal men,
in a darkened lonely path.
He seeks for the lost,
bringing them hope.


Only a few sees his kind.
Many take them for granted.
Blinded by selfishness,
corrupted by malice.


Earth angels are a rare find,
with broken wings and all.
Pity for those who seek,
an angel for a friend.


Yet a blessing for those,
finding an angel within a friend.
'Friends are heaven sent.'

Living Life With You
MMV Abad Oct 2010
You like beautiful women,
I admire them too.
Yet, when I point out a guy,
You’ll say he is gay.
You snicker at my music.
You sneer at my books.
You mess up with my cell phone,
as if yours, not mine.

                                            
You love horrific movies.
I would take a peek.
We watched Titanic once,
you fell asleep.
You grimace at my hair cut.
You shun my cousins.
You pass up many parties,
and didn’t ask me.

                                          
They say we do not belong,
different and all.
Still, you held on to my hand,
revealed me the way.
You kissed my laughter and tears,
heeded my ramblings.
You sacrificed many things,
that I’ve love you more.

                                          
Bear with me, my beloved.
Come grow old with me.
We’ll have our differences,
and always our respect.
I desire your sarcasm.
I want your nonsense.
Because without them from you,
Never can I irritate you.

Immortality
MMV Abad Oct 2010
To live forever is a gift.
Men can grasp unto their dreams,
incessant opportunities,
to try all over again.


Such chance is to nurture wisdom,
to understand the world,
and to discover the secrets,
of the past and present.


A delight to see the future,
and witness the rise of new worlds.
everlasting great breakthroughs,
a festive treat for the mind.


Yet, living forever – a curse.
Mind and body can grow weary,
to see everyone you know dies,
go  on and on, eternally.


Immortal men can be envious,
of souls at peace in heaven.
While they, forever remain,
wandering into the earth.

Sanctuary
MMV Abad Oct 2010
There is a place,
where you can go.
When everything has failed you,
and no reasons to suit you.

                                                                
There is a place,
where you can hide.
To act as your own self,
where you can mourn your grief.

                                                                  
There is a place,
where you can think
To clarify some things,
to gain back your spirit.

                                                                
There’s such place
To be at peace,
be alone and be at rest.
My place… my own embrace.
