Keeping the Fire Burning
MMV Abad Aug 2010
In a dark and serene place,
An empty heart achingly beats.
The cold night touches his soul.
He is lost but not alone.
                                                      
Suc­h gloomy uncertainties,
Fear for his sweetest love and life.
The changing world, his menace,
to keep a devotion alive.
                                                      
Her­ kiss awakens his senses,
fiery and passionately.
He engulfs her in his arms.
She’s his for all eternity.
                                                          
No more fear for the unknown,
As their racing hearts beat as one.
Her hold, a satisfaction,
With her tender arms, he is home.

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!"

No Good Byes
MMV Abad Aug 2011
The sun sets in the East.
Never good bye my friend,
tomorrow we shall see.
The sun will rise again.

A lovely page has turned.
Only the beginning,
never the end my friend.
A new tale is written.

Never farewell my friend.
Not good bye but good day.
I will see you again,
in my heart you will stay.

Alone
MMV Abad Sep 2010
He says he’s going to make it,
no friends and all.
Who needs people to rob your trust?
He tells me so.
Abuse you with their evil deeds?
Best be alone.
And so, he lives all by himself.
Rises and sleeps,
enjoying his tranquility.
He writes and reads
to live… keep his sanity, sane.
Some perfect life.
No worries, no disappointments.
Yet, no laughter.
No one to share his dreams or joys,
no one to love.
Now, how can he call that living?
No life at all.

Heaven in My Arms
MMV Abad Sep 2011
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.

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.

You lay sleeping.
I watch your face with a smile,
knowing you are mine.
                                          
I kiss your cheeks,
So warm and soft… heaven sweet,
all mine for today.

Thinking of you.
Enjoying each passing days,
my heart swells with pride.

Mine for today.
Your smiles, your hugs, your kisses,
treasures of my heart.

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.

Glorious Sun
MMV Abad Aug 2010
The sun,
symbol of life and death.
How the flowers bloom,
with the right warmth.
And wither too soon,
with its mad heat.

The sun,
lovely and glorious.
Dawn’s promising light,
a heart’s pleasure.
Beautiful twilight,
as it sets in the east.

The sun,
is like a special friend.
How his comfort brings,
warmth to the heart.
Yet, his oath of love,
a scorching hug.

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.
'Moving on to the next.'

Thanks for the 51 Years
MMV Abad Feb 2011
She was a great cook
a good wife
the best mother
If you need a friend
If you need a sister
Someone to talk to
for a decision
for something serious
or just plain silly
she’s here
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
Thanks for your kindness
Your guidance
Your love
Thanks for the memories
Good bye, my dearest
And, to our good Lord
Thanks for her 51 years!

Time Flies
MMV Abad Aug 2010
Time can be an eternity,
Ungenerously slow and cruel
How it affects one’s sanity,
to wait as it painfully rolls.

One may choose to sleep it all.
Take no notice, just let it pass.
Others try to tolerate time,
Opens their eyes, no other chance.

Thus, time can be strikingly fast.
No warning, no roars of thunder.
Just some merciless lightning flash.
It hits at life’s finest hour.

Have you told her how much you care?
Have you grabbed that opportunity?
Move on for your destiny,
Waste not, time can really fly.

Heart Courage
MMV Abad Jan 2011
Heart beating wild
Stomach aches
Her knees shake
She’s in terrible fright
Slowly, she lifts her fist
Onto the door, she knocks.

The urge to run
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 ….
'Every lover’s challenge.'

Day Break
MMV Abad Aug 2011
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.

Heaven's Promise
MMV Abad Apr 2011
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.

Your body weakens every day.
Let me be your strength,
I’ll assist you along the way.
Let my strength, be your strength.

Your eyesight starts to fail you.
Let me be you guide,
I’ll lead you everywhere you go.
Let my eyes, be your eyes.

You misses her very much.
Let me give you her affection,
know that I miss her too.
Let her actions, be my actions.

You’ve grown tired of living.
My father, please take heart.
Do go on breathing.
Never, I can take that part.
In memory of my father: December 28, 2009. With all our love, hugs and more kisses. You are in heaven with mother.

I
see you
Walking with her
Love is in your eyes
You
Adore her
Your actions show
She means much more
I
Can only
Stare and smile
Mixtures of odd feelings
Some
Small stabs
In my heart
I can still take
My
Soul longs
For your love
Do anything, I would
But
I won’t
Be a pain
To your sweet life
I
Want you
To be joyful
To be with her
Your
Treasured love
My greatest sorrow
And mine to endure
Still
I’ll stifle
My prettiest smile
Only for your happiness
I
Solemnly pray
That your heart
Find mine, somehow, somewhere
Someday.

He Could be a Friend
MMV Abad Aug 2010
They say, first impression lasts.
How he talks,
how he smiles.
If he’s an agreeable person,
we would love him.
Then, trust him.
But, if he’s a nuisance,
we would hate him.
Then, avoid him.
We are not God to judge.
He could not be perfect.
We are all imperfect.
Like it or not, he is also human.
He has flaws.
We all have flaws.
There is goodness in every being.
Give him time.
Give him a chance.
Who knows?
You might had gotten unto the wrong foot.
Indeed… He could be a friend.

Stolen Beauty
MMV Abad Feb 2011
Vibrant look vanishes.
A bright face into gloom.
Pink blush diminishes.
An ashen pallid look.

Lovely smile, gone astray.
Cruel bed of tranquil,
a sorrowful embrace.
The true beauty remains,
her pure loving soul.

Old Age
MMV Abad Sep 2010
She reminds me of a withered tree
Leathery and dry
Gone is the luster of a skin so fair
Diminished beyond repair
Her jet-black hair, shiny and vibrant
Turned snowy white
Fresh and sweet aroma of her youth
To a scent of an old rose
Her healthy frame lost its vigor
My ancient lady
So delicate… so fragile
Time awaits her
Yet, her eyes speak
Wisdom of the world
Her toothless mouth smiles
The joys of her past years.

The Child in You
MMV Abad Aug 2010
To be a child is a gift,
laugh and play all we desire.
Delightful unending search,
of things, some treat for the eyes.

Some people stay as a kid.
Real grown men as they are,
or with children to take care,
they choose to stay young at heart.

Not with selfish childishness,
with them as the sole center.
But keeping courageousness,
compassion for the others.

Evil people my harm them.
Yet they forgive and forget,
believing in Someone,
to comfort them of their hurt.

We may feel alone sometimes,
Best bring out that child.
Because there is a Father,
always here by our side.

Is It Love?
MMV Abad Aug 2011
You do not see my eyes.
Never can you tell I’m sincere.
Eyes are the windows of the soul,
and you can never tell.

You do not see my smile,
lovely with the mention of you.
Smiles reveal heart secrets.
This you can never taste.

You ask me, is it love?
Never can you savor my lips,
or touch my chest for my heartbeat.
Words, all you’ll ever have.

Is it love? Is it love?
Now I achingly ask myself.
At the right time, at the right place,
I will find the answer.

Poetry Writing
MMV Abad Oct 2010
To write is to be free.
An expression of one’s feelings.
It is a way to breathe,
to shout, cry and even to laugh.


Writing is to embrace,
A fantasy world you can own,
have a life you like,
aches and triumphs of your choice.


How, my heart beats to write-
My serenity… my passion!
Poetry is my sin…
my escape from realism.

There is a place,

When everything has failed 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.

To be at peace,
be alone and be at rest.

They are trouble
He doesn’t want you involved

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.

He simply cannot do
They will hurt you, he told you
He won’t have that

And I’ll always be proud.
Never shall I regret,
