caught from the blue,
with my polished
and sparkling eyes.
all that everyone saw was beauty,

while deep inside pain crept.
forgetting of its existence.
to me it became profane.
refusing to speak of it
Allowing myself to forgetting.

then at my cheerful being of night,
you saw through me
what i had forgotten.
it was the pain that dwelt.
and all the broken pieces inside of me.

lost in the dark night with a fake smile,
i would have never known all was wrong.
and healing could have never come.
but you helped me admit to my wrong.  

today i look back at the lost time in darkness.
all the happiness wasted.
i could have been cheerful then,
but now that am at ease,
solace came unexpectedly
gratitude is the token of appreciation i have for you.
Thanks to a dear friend

The Lord your God
           in your midst,
the Mighty One,
          He will save;
with gladness      
          He will rejoice
over you,
         He will quiet you
with His love,
         He will rejoice
over you
        with singing....

God's love is so amazing.   He puts such a value on us.....so incomprehensible.....
Dear, I'm going on an adventure and it's beginning now
Away from the heartache, away from the sorrow I go
I'm letting the light in
This is where my adventure begins
I choose to no longer be the shadow cast by the light
Instead I've decided to be a candle
Though it be small compared to others
One day it will spread and become a roaring wildfire
There are so many negative people leading negative lives
I've been one for so long
But that part of me is dying
Only the light will remain
As I sit here with the path rocky and unclear
I cast my eyes on the sky, I know
I'm leaving for my adventure now
It may take a while for me to reach my destination
But no later than a lifetime
Which is rather short after all
My heart was weighed and burdened
Now it is a candle
While being small
I worry not
It's soon to be a roaring wildfire
Burning bright among the night
It's mile away from home
To feel with gladness inside
It was rainy day
While I'm driving motorcycle
As I pass the bridge
The music get through
While the rhymes of the rains
Cool's down under inside
As I start to remember
the past year I was there...


Far from home
A time to enjoy my vacation
Oh~  how nice it is
To be found in

      ~ TAGBIBINTA  FALLS ~

      Once again.
written in May 1, 2015 @ Tagbibinta Falls
A year to end
within it …~
Many of  untold
stories of time
again.


A new journey  
to discover…~
So as this heart
would learn to
embrace.


As this year
says goodbye…~
Let thy new songs
serenade my soul.


While this fruit
my present was…~
Am being thankful
and grateful.


Because in Thee,
Words in tune.
So, that this spirit
may fills with ~ gladness.
the phrases of your words
it lights within my room
words tho' sweet to absorbs
so, dear to ponder the lines


your words like  honeyed
to my lips when i used it
gather years for my days
and make my lonesome heart beat


it's like treasures of a lifetime
that truly grows within my veins
as my heart felt with gladness
that helps me free ~ indeed.

— The End —
