Talk about the way I loved you
Once upon a time!
I will always be kind to you,
But keep your valentine.

What good would come of an empty notion?
I won't sop in your love potion.

Keep your hearts of candy handy,
You might need a snack.
Wrap it up in cellophane,
Send your entreaty back.

We had our time, you had your shot.
Let's just be friends, or maybe not.

I can't think of reason one
That I should take the chance
On trusting that you'd ever change,
No, I am not entranced.

Learn the meaning of good-bye.
Walk away on down the line.

Don't look back, don't dwell upon it.
Give it no second thought.
To be clear,  I'm not mad with you,
But feelings can't be bought.

At the close, there's this to find -
I don't want to be your valentine.
I wrote the componants to this poem in early January. About halfway through, I realized the rhyming pattern of the verses had changed from alternating to four lines of couplets I worked on the arrangement to break the couplets into beidges between the larger verses, and reworked the content for continuity. I was going to keep sitting on it till the 14th of february, but I think it's ready to send out. This one really was just a fun write. It is not super serious.
Later on, I might play around with it and turn it into a song.

We're taking chances
Every single time
Put our hearts on the line
Then you go and broke everything we made
But, I loved you anyway
Please stop wasting time
I'm grieving over my heart
Cause you took all
The sunlight in my life, the very air that I breathe, and the stars
Just when I thought we're reaching somewhere
Like a smoke you're gone
Chasing shadows along with your heart
You pin me down and blame me
Cause you found no one else to blame
You have broken every single word
Yet, I loved you anyway

From the ceiling to the floor
You're everywhere
Don't know why but I breathe you in
It reminds me you never left

My mind give in
Every time I think of you
How you keep me safe and warm
Even when I'm alone

You're on my mind
Cause my heart lost all its control
Feels like you're always around
Next to me surrounding me


Every second I'm without you
I pretend we're skin to skin
No skin, no heart, no touch
Can get me enough

No kiss, no lips, no rush
I swear no one can keep me high
You've released my darkest sin
Without breaking me down

I don't know what it is
But you've pulled me in
No one compares
Don't want anything else but you
Querencia describes a place where one feels safe, a place from which one's strength of character is drawn, a place where one feels at home.

I dream of a place,
Beyond time and space

Where blue birds dance,
On the streets of France.

Where heaven bleeds,
Over the American dream.

Where the Way, the Truth, and the Life,
Teaches love without the knife.

Where the Prince of Peace,
Dines with the Middle East.

I dream of a place,
Where the world embraces, "Grace."

Tersenyumlah selagi kau mampu
Tertawalah kalau kau ingin
Karena ada kalanya dimana senyumanmu akan membuat orang menangis
Dan tawamu akan berubah menjadi air mata yang kau luapkan
Hidup di dunia hanya sementara
Jangan kau sia-siakan hanya demi kesenangan semata
Seperti semua yang ada, hidup diciptakan berpasangan
Ada susah ada senang
Dan kalau kau hanya terpaut pada kesenangan
Kau akan menyadari suatu saat
Bagaimana waktu tak dapat diputar kembali
Dan hanya penyesalan yang menemanimu pada akhirnya
For eyang Rini, may she rest in peace.

As I started to think
how to put my mind into words
I read 'Title, Body, Notes and Tags',
The word 'Body' paralyzed me.

How many times,
have we offended our Body.
How many times,
We are ashamed of it.
How many times,
We spend thinking about our defects.
How many times,
We are not comfortable in it.

But most of all,
How many times we appreciate who we are?
The essence of us,
that freedom, energy
that makes us who we are.

We're always trying to be
anyone but us,
but there's someone out there
who wants to be like you;
because they see
what you can't.

So, love yourself
because if you don't,
Who will?

Love is a scary ******* thing.
There's three potential stages.
There's the love that hits so hard
That it rattles your windows
Like the rain that hits
Once you leave the safety of a bridge.
There's the love that comes so softly
That it's a breath of fresh air
Like the summer breeze
You receive when sitting under a tree.
Then there's the love
That means something.
It makes your heart flutter
Like butterflies in a field.
It makes your stomach flip
Like you're hanging upside down.
It makes your cheeks sore
Like you ran 13 miles.

The saddest part?
You won't know what stage you're in
Until it's gone.
