three magic words
gabe Apr 2017
i don't know when was the time i realized i have fallen in love,
i have no idea when was the first time i told you those three magic words,
and since then, i never felt a slightest hint from the hands of fate, that we would ever come to this.

but what i do know is that, in each passing day, my heart only beats louder for you;
that those three magic words grow more magical as it escape our lips;
and that as days, weeks, months and years pass us by, i will forever be grateful that the universe graciously led us to each other's arms.

there is
gabe Apr 2017
a man out of his wits,
hopeless,
what a pity he's become
another casualty.

loved ones, betrayed him:
left to oblivion,
only girl she ever loved,
ran away with
another man.

all sense has left him,
they say.
but he's listening
to all the bickering.

hoping one day,
a voice so familiar,
he'll hear,
the sun rising
after
a complete darkness.

the island
gabe Apr 2017
a question troubles, island’s peace is lost,
am i who i am?” eager land inquires.
disturbed, the once serene and calm water,
enraged waves sent off, crashing onto shore.
the answer that you seek i cannot speak,
straightforward answers, never meant to please.
a storm threatens a downpour of yes, no,
confusion flooded, train of thought submerged.
surveying islands, bird’s eye takes the view,
clouds fleet along, marveling at it all:
a lake, a river, waterfalls of hope,
a hill, a valley, mountains of regret,
grown with experience, plants and trees stand,
learning through challenges, animals flock.
what an amazing sight!” wind blows soft breeze,
what an amazing mind!” whistles the bird.
land and water, both finally, calmed down,
resolves to address the troubling question:
am i who i am?” echoes the island.
wind and ocean answers in unison:
a tiny plot of land, blessed by the gods,
but with one’s hands, an island has emerged
."
this is a poem in blank verse i wrote for my shakespeare class

How...
gabe Jul 2015
how many?
how many hearts have you broken?
how many people have you left unmended?
how many innocent people have you torn apart?

how much?
how much pain have you caused?
how much tear has been shed?
how much trust has been crushed?

how?
how can you sleep at night,
knowing you've hurt more than a fly?
how can you eat a lot,
knowing you made someone lose their appetite?
how can you still stand still,
knowing you never bothered catching  anyone who fall?

**how...    how could you?

Rain.
gabe Jul 2015
"Oh, how I love the rain,"* she mutters to herself, feeling the rain trickle from her face down to her feet.

Most people loves the sun,
she prefers the clouds.

She loves the rain,
for it keeps her sane.

It keeps her safe,
and serves as her escape.

Through it all.
gabe Jul 2015
through the dark,
you guided me
through the drought,
you strengthen me
through the fall,
you were there to catch me
through it all, through it all

through the waves,
you surfed with me
through the wind,
you flew with me
all the distance,
you traveled it all
through it all, through it all

feelings left unsaid.
gabe Jul 2015
I've been ready to wrap my arms around you, but I saw you wrap yours around someone else.

I've been willing to kiss your tears away, but you chose to let it flow as you watch her walk away.

I've been loving you and watching you from afar, but instead, you decided to love her like how I love you.

*Unconditional and hopeless.

Pain...
gabe Jul 2015
Pain?*

     I got so used to it,
it seemed like a normal thing to me.
     I became so obsessed with it,
I can't stop yearning for more.

Pain is such an inexplicable feeling leaving me breathless and desiring for more.

Hope

I cry,

I try.

I feel,

I heal.

I stood,

I could.

I fly,

*so very high.

I took the ride just for a thrill,
I didn’t know this is what I would feel.

I pushed myself to stand up and fight,
but I fell on the ground filled with fright.

Filled with hope, I took the chance,
smiled and hoped for a better dance.

But you pushed me away like I was trash,
I’m back down the ground with just one flush.

Remember...
gabe Jul 2015
Remember when we used to dream about our future?
Remember when we both can't sleep without a tight warm hug and a sweet goodnight kiss?
Remember when we can't last a day without at least seeing each other once?
Remember when we felt happy together?
Remember when I wake you up each day with the smell of pancakes and scrambled eggs?
Remember when you always say I have a future in the cooking industry although I always end up with burns?
Remember when I always take hours in getting ready in our every single date?
Remember when you never complained about it and instead, assured me by saying I'm worth the wait?
Remember all our plans for each other?
Remember all our promises to one another?
Remember us?

Remember... me?
