Oh dear Chrysanthemum,
You look so joyful dancing with the summer wind.
And your petals are the testament
of your courage and hardwork.

Hello dear Chrysanthemum,
You look so lovely under the midday sun,
But the world has yet to understand,
the pain it took you to bloom.
Germinate.
Pauline Celerio Jun 2019
Small frame but big ambitions
Small steps but a steady direction
Small girl with a great mind,
Strong, independent, and kind.
The world is big and the road is tough,
You may be small,
But you are more than enough.
For a friend. You are more than enough.
Pauline Celerio Feb 2019
Cold February wind
Blows unto my face,
Bold dandelion skies
Whisper their goodbyes.
Busy streets alive,
As many tread on the roads.
And darling you might be far,
But to you I’m coming home.
Through the music in my ears.
Through the rhythm of my feet.
Through the replays of my memories,
And my unbridled heartbeat.
Even when we’re apart, I’m coming home to you.

Wrote you a letter
With words I never said
Thoughts running in my head
From the day we first met.
I found us a reason
Why this couldn’t go on
You needed time to be alone
So you can be stronger than before.

So when I said goodbye
It was for the better
Better for a reason.
When I said goodbye
It didn’t mean I don’t love you
But I have to do this
for you to love yourself.
“Don’t let someone find you until you find yourself.” Truer words have never been spoken.

The night grows
The wind blows
Unseen stars
from windows
Tamed heights
Untrained eyes
see hope in
city lights.
But my soul longs
for starlights
with you
by my side.
When I look at the city lights from my window, I wish you were here  by my side.

Oh how long I have been waiting
Alone in this table for two
But one glance from across the room
I knew it was you.

At the right time.
At the right moment.
Pauline Celerio Aug 2018
Velvet dusk
And the city opens its thousand eyes
Busy streets and tired minds
My heart longs for your touch

And I go home
With traces of you in me.
And I sleep well
With you in my memory.
