I am haunted by the kiss in your eyes, the kiss you can’t give me. Your family disapproves of me, and so do your friends. They will probably never approve of me but in the end they are going to admire my strength and faithfulness. They are going to realize that I will never, never give up on you no matter how hard they make it for us to be together. One day, they will understand that this kind of love, in itself, deserves to be returned.
When I am in bed, about to sleep, or when I’m alone and lost in my thoughts, suddenly I meet your face, and I know you’re the one for me, no matter what stands between us.
I love you more because I have to fight for you.
Ignatius Hosiana Oct 2015
The foot paths are no longer small because I walk them solo
As the wild flowers are wilting in revolt of your absence
I dropped from the high to ocean bottom low
But I'll just keep acting like I second your renaissance

Days which were brief in your presence are suddenly longer
With every minute circumventing slower than a year
But boredom doesn't **** so I'm masking myself to look stronger
Painfully bleeding inside and soaking my heart with every tear

Because we once spent the hours and days together
Listening to your favorite songs and sniffing at wild flowers
Besides promising we'd be two together forever
Playing in the storm,tramping on fallen petals of April showers

The birds now sing to the weighed down beat of my heart
Attempting to stitch every cut from the broken glass of we falling apart
Ignatius Hosiana Sep 2015
Piercing through the air seeped the mist
Dragging along memories long forgotten
Thoughts of the many opportunities missed
And haunting truths that were never spoken

Stabbing down earth splashed the rain
In a terrifying storm that only washed the tears
But never could that storm cleanse the pain
Stirred by the agony of losing dears

Glancing through the half closed door
I see leaves struggle to hold to their stalk
Contemplating the loss of everyone I adore
Wishing I could have another chance to talk

The rain, the pain, the storm far from home
All inside is frozen, only my thoughts roam
Ignatius Hosiana Sep 2015
There are times, like a bee life's got to sting
When we look in the wild and only thorns we see
Deaf to the beautiful songs the Nightingale will sing
We weren't taught how to swim yet this life is a Sea
Sometimes we wish its just a song that'll beautifully come to end
Yet it keeps playing on and flowing like a river or stream
We try to fit in for emotional safety but succeed in failing to blend
We pray for an escape as we silently scream
Can you tell the difference between reality and fiction?
Is never forgiving time and stopping to believe a crime?
Is it a fault to render it an unfair jurys Diction?
Isn't that similar to forcing every poem to rhyme?
There's a song that we sung when we still hoped
And our shattered hearts still sing even if our mouths stopped
Ignatius Hosiana Sep 2015
A world we found naturally beautiful and green
We've painted a variety of taunting colours
So that its bloated with colors to the brim
And there's barely  any green to see, alas!

We found the world ****** raw and pure
Peacefully enjoying and willing to share
***** and infected her with ails we can't cure
And in return world stopped to care

Now we fight each other everyday that goes by
We build neat roads and she sends quakes
To reveal truth hidden beneath the roofs of our lies
She kills the flowers of our hypocrisy by storms and by flakes

We exist at crossroads and all we do is feign remorse
We nail the world, only to find ourselves on that very cross
Ignatius Hosiana Sep 2015
If only my purpose was curved in clay
So that I would know what lies ahead
And charge for it without wavering or delay
Hurtling through quag of uncertainty with my hope dead

If only I had a manual on how to navigate this sea
To avoid the waves or to battle them all harder
If only every opportunity was clear enough for me to see
And make out the one to seize and the one to ******

Yes, sometimes a life of not knowing what awaits
Not knowing when the ocean of life will be calm
And when to hit the waters and peacefully plant our baits
***** for we cannot predict who we ultimately become

Boring is the story whose end is clear from the start
But reading such once in a while wouldn't hurt
Ignatius Hosiana Sep 2015
Why must we fall even when there's none to catch us?
Why?
Is love a blessing or a curse?
Is it truth or lie?
Why must we lose our hearts to their breakers?
To little palms that will ultimately release them aground
Why must we be seekers?
Why do we only feel at peace with another soul around?
Why must we spend sleepless nights contemplating
Who our hearts whole shall mend?
Why not opt for self electro-plating?
So that we own hard metallic hearts to the end?
Why do we embrace vulnerability in the name of being human?
Why is passion such an embraced tumor?
Ignatius Hosiana Sep 2015
On petals of roses slid the rain drops after the storm
It was so lonely and the winter cold badly stung
All she wished for was another chance to be home
While somewhere in the wild a seemingly sad Nightingale sung
The variagated cloudy lining adjacent to a pink horizon
Held so much promise that after her storm there'd be a rainbow
That she would find her way out those concrete walls to liven
And re-kindle the flame of her life and never stumble
She had seen the roughest storms come and go
Witnessed the birds in the wild struggle to survive
She had thrown tantrums till time forced her to grow
To the realization she'd eventually safely arrive
To a promising destination, one filled with milk and honey
No matter how rough the road was and length of the journey
Ignatius Hosiana Sep 2015
Since you are getting to know me quite well
And to know when I am and when I ain't myself
You're ignoring the signs of a looming hell
And getting tempted to think that with me you're safe
But you better know there's a monstrous side
That lives behind this shining warm moon you see
There're moments when its not me to decide
A time when I lose control over the sails to the storms at sea
I know its starting to feel comfortable for you and I
We are bonding more than I ever thought
And it all seems picture perfect as days go by
That we are meant for each other is one cheap idea you've bought
But the oceans and seas are rough even as you near the shores
I warn you, Love,my dear has never been a smooth course
Ignatius Hosiana Sep 2015
You could leave on the next jet plane
And go to whatever destination
Without having to explain
Without I asking any question
You could walk out that door
With your bags and baggage
Take the best car in the lot and go
Covering whatever milage
You can walk away at any time
Incase you feel loving me is tiring
Satiety has never been a crime
Even as a child things kept expiring
You are free to leave though its bound to hurt
Venture far away but I'll still have you in my heart
