Sometimes life loves to spite
And sends those we love
Far away and out of sight
Making them hard to think of
We measure distance by inch
We measure time by the minute
But friendship it won't infringe
Because love isn't easy to forget
It isn't something we measure
Love is what we always keep
A feeling we forever treasure
In our souls, ingrained deep
Distance may cause heart ache
But our bond it shall never break

seeing him took a day
deciding my feelings took a week
getting to know him took a month
spending life with him took an eternity
but loving him took only a second
another short write by yours truly. this is a part of the 13-pocket-poem (or pocketry) series! :)

The crystal structures that shape

tears of Joy are not the same

as tears of Sorrow;

Peace glides gently through

veins of an uplifted Spirit, a corrected

perception! Virtuous

steps of shedding and unpacking,

ascending on ladders built from

everlasting arithmetics.

Driven consciously by the heart,

as the mind smiles and takes

a break from its usual dance.

No need for measure,

simply present within the

strands of silk,

strengthened by the agreement

to let it be.

Babangon para sa 'yo
Nandito ang pangako
"Grabeh! Ang liwanag oh."
Kahit ano pang layo.
Ito ay isang halimbawa ng isang tanaga. Isa siyang apat na linyang tulang may sukat na pitong (7) pantig sa bawat  linya at lahat ng dulong tunog sa bawat linya ay magkakaparehas. Ang maganda sa tanaga, may inilalarawan siyang bagay na hindi dapat nasa loob mismo ng tanaga, pero kitang-kita kahit hindi banggitin. :) Sarap maging Pilipino!

If love is the measure of a man, then what is a man without love?
A man without love is a man without pain
A man without grief
A man without love is a man without responsibility
A man without humility
A man without love can do as he wishes, for he has not a care in the world.
If love is the measure of a man, I'd rather be unmeasurable.

I said to you the words he didn't say.
I did all the things he didn't do
Every day I told you how beautiful you are
I reminded you how special you are
Yet I still don't measure up

'If you are fat then what am I?'
No you are mistaken
I do not see others as measurements
that is something I hold to myself
I need to loose weight
for the achievement
for control
for me to feel mentally stable
I need not hear about how
'it's not attractive to be that thin'
because I don't give a ****
What is time?

Ya,
I know time is a unit of measure,
A way to compare events in the universe,
A how to why things happen,

But truthfully,
                          What is it
                                            And will you last through it all?

Is love a desire or a crush?

Can it be bottled?  Can it be rushed?

Why do we love?

Do we control?
Is it our soul?

Is love measured by:
Greater than?
Equal to?
Or Less?

Can it grow and prosper?
Left a lone, will it fester?

I have a confession to make
I am in Love and it's so great
It's equal to none
'n it's not the same

My love claims
she doesn't feel the same
'n one day she confessed
In a low tone voice .. she whispered

"I feel the same as you do
Not one sided, but it's mutual"

I couldn't believe what I heard
Was it my imagination?
Or hallucination
I was happy I could fly
Another day
I had a sigh

Was she serious?
Or just curious?

Should I wait to see?
If her love was true for me?

Maybe one day she will care
For our love and she would dare

I would measure my Love for her
By the times as I would purr

She asked:
What if I love you the same?
Will I be bored?  Will you blame?

I said then:
Our love will be great
It will grow,
Lets start the flame
If you'r wise and nice
Please give an advice
