Lines and Shades

Lines and Shades
(poem comment)


they hand me a pen
and asked me to draw
the reason for my smiles
and the love they saw.



i told them i cant
coz love cant be shown
through curves and lines
nor by paint alone.



yet my hand moved
and i saw it has been made
as i started to create
the beauty of your sweet face.



i shaded it with charcoal hue
coz it showed the truest you
gentle was the line of your nose
sincere as it hid not your flaws.



your lips that tear the sweetest smile
that can take away even my content sigh
i tried to make it soft and real in my sketch
as i dream of kissing when i lay the final shade.



lost in luck, i cant draw your eyes.
and i can tell a thousand reasons why
because your true beauty lies in it
that even the greatest artist cant keep.



the eyes that shows your sincere soul
but sometimes of a mischievous kid.
the eyes that shows the truest joy,
but sometimes its where the pain was hid.



so i decided to hide it too...
by shading it in a darker hue.
its for them to find out
behind it is the real you.




Wish Kiss


Wish Kiss *

050513 


It's destiny's trick or maybe just fate's magic,
When time and chance made us meet
By God's grace I was swept on my feet
When I saw you, a thing of beauty, so sweet.



I asked for a sign if you are the perfect one
You smiled and all my worries were gone.



I was stunned, rendered speechless
When you showed me your soul, flawless.
I was touched by your candid gentleness
And you filled my tired heart's emptiness.



We walked through the crowded place
Leaving at every step sweet lovers trace.



You made me love you so much
that I cant help but cry.
I cant contain the feelings 
that builds so high.
Overjoyed by your mere presence
even just by walking by
I promised to love you
and forever's not a lie.



We went to the place where Gods reside
We knelt and pray, you by my side.



We lighted candles and uttered our wishes,
Warmth our hearts with sweet hush whispers.
And beneath the trees you asked for my wish
Before you leaned and rendered the sweetest kiss.



I smiled and to God I uttered my silent thanks
Then I looked at you and answered "wish granted"

Forget me Not

Forget me Not
042213 

You told me you tend to forget,
Something that bothered me since we first met.
How could a sweet carefree soul like you,
Denied by memory and have a cruel fate too.

You were not governed by rules
Nor living the path taken by fools.
But your smiles hide your fears...
uncertainties...and a future of 'what ifs'. 

I knocked the door of your fearsome heart
Intimidated; but yet driven by luck.
By chance you opened your heart again
Knowing for a fact that I might be forgotten.

You gave me a chance that worth everything I have.
A risk taken that may cause my last breath.
But I'd rather take this lone gambled line,
To show my love even untill the end of time.

If by chance you'll forget how it feels
The warmth whenever I kiss your lips
Worry not I'll still be holding you tight,
'till you wake up from that lost cursed night.

When everything seems to be in blur...
When nothing seems to be sure...
When you lose me from your memory's core,
I'm still be loving you, I wont break, I wont fall.

And if my love had been forgotten
When my face seems unfamiliar, lost in vain.
It may take a lifetime to feel the pain,
But I promise you, I will love you over and over again.

"Hello, Old Friend"


"Hello, Old Friend"
June 09, 2012

Hello old friend?
I'm glad we meet again.
You traveled far, Are you tired?
Come and sit for a while
And tell me about your gold mine.

How are you old friend?
It's been a while...
since the day you said your goodbye.
Did life been good to you?
Or has it been a little cruel too?

You said your long forgotten 'Hi?'
I can see it from your familiar smile.
That you've gone a distant mile.
Did you find what you've been looking for?
The things you said I didn't have before?

Why are you crying old friend?
Why are you feeling my old pain?
Aren't you the one who seek for the dream?
The dream where I wasn't belong.
Did you find it all along?

What are the tears for, old friend?
Aren't you happy seeing me?
Oh, I shed them before too.
When you found your way out,
Leaving me shattered with a broken heart.

I missed you and I will miss you again old friend.
There still be tears just like it has been.
I won't hold you now and beg you to stay,
This time it doesn't feel the same,
Because its been a while, old friend.

You


You

The sun shines though your eyes.
Everytime I’m on my darkness hours.
You gave me strength to carry on.
Everytime hope drains me.
You made me smile when tears started to fall.
You hold my hand whenever I’ve no one to call.
You took away all my sadness.
And my worries to regard less
You show me what love truly means.
Everytime I felt your kiss.
You made all things easy.
And show the best out of me.
I never heard you complain.
Nor overcome by anger.
But shows how lucky you are.
For having me nurtured onto your heart.
Oh! Have I told you yet today?
How much I love you too.
That may the Lord bless us.
And to never let us part!

Why People I Love Leave Me?


Why People I Love Leave Me?

CAS 1st flr. OLFU



I don’t know why they have to go.
If they had demanded me my exclusivity!
They used to promise me one thing.
“We’ll be together & never shall I go.”



But when times get tough
They would just hug me and laugh.
They will hail their goodbyes,
sometimes they cry.
Hoping for another chance,
maybe for some other time.



They said they’re happy when with me.
But maybe they didn’t know.
Happiness can be breach by sacrifice.
They said they didn’t want to lose me.
But losing means gaining another one
Something sweeter, something better!
They said forever we’ll be together.
But forever is a myth.
A dream beyond reality!
They said “I Love You.”
But love means setting free.
So I must go.



Why people I love leave me?
Am I not a jewel a jewel for keep?
Then why there are goodbyes?
Why not just hellos?
When will the time come?
That I’ll be the one to bid farewell
Even with a broken heart…
A broken soul!

Why Does God Cry?


Why Does God Cry?

I’m standing on the summit of this mountain.
I’m looking down the valley and below the plain.
I spread my arms, my wings.
And I embraced the coolly wind.
The dew wet my shirt.
Look at my shoes filled with dirt.
The wind blew and raffled my hair to mess.
Grasses surrounded me - taller than me.
That dance with the rhythm of the wind.
And sway with my every heartbeat.
I saw the forest before me.
Wild flowers clustered at my feet.
The birds the hoppers the ants,
So modest, tranquil and carefree!
The sun shines above.
Strained by the clouds and shaded me.
It reflects the river, snaked through the sea.
Shows streams of lights, dreamlike and surreal!
Then showers came.
The rain started to fall.
My co-campers’ yelling a call.
I wonder why?
With all the beauty in this paradise,
Why does God cry?

White Roses

You bid me now to strike my last song.
Coz I kept myself mute for so log.
Now given the chance and bid my last goodbye.
Coz I was born and destined to die.
Here I am laying my last farewell,
Of the last memoir of my day!

Blood of life flows out from my veins
Leaving me drowned with agony and pain.
Remember those white roses clinging?
In the garden of my life their living,
As these bloody liquid stained my memory.
Those roses turn to crimson red.

My Muse! Mother, here you are crying so hard.
And in thy hands I saw not the gambling cards.
I saw the love in thy lonely face.
But now I bid you to lay my last ace.
My bedtime stories, childhood days I long.
Mother, did the mouse chase the lion?

My King! Father here thy servant.
Sorry if for once I’ll break your commands.
With you tears, I saw not the wine but,
I bid you now to gulp my last shot.
Your untouched stick for times I feared.
Here it kept waiting for me to be punished.

My Confidant! Sister I’m leaving you.
Maybe for sometimes I had broken your heart.
Your dark lonely eyes always had been sad.
To see me in throne that would make you glad.
But now the throne is shaking the king is gone.
Sister, from this day on I’m His servant.

My greatest foe, only brother I’ve got.
We’re always in brawl and have the line to cut.
But I’ve never kept any grudges or wrath.
Coz I know every brawl will end to hug.
Now I’m leaving you I’ll miss those smiles.
From thy lips my guidance upon I fly.

My beloved your name I bear.
That once caused me too much tears.
The love I longed gave nothing but pain.
Pain that leads me to another love’s flame
Farewell my love, once true love.
Hope no tears will fall s I’ll be gone.

Best of friends my brother I lost.
Memories of the past, wealth of no cost
Though sometimes we lived in fancies and doubt
For once we shared the arms of someone we both loved.
Eventhough we traveled using different codes.
Destiny’s always lead us to one same cross road.

Friends the old and the new,
Your tears, memories of endless dew
You laughed even on my silliest jokes.
And admired even my senseless thoughts
I’ll leave but never will I be gone.
Memories stay even this tired body was done.

Fellow! Let my body be burnt to the tongue of fire.
Let it tear my cold body leaving those lustful desires.
Strike the lire when my flesh turns to ash.
Sing my lyrics as memories flash.
Cry no more near I’ll be at peace.
As I gently wheeze my final kiss.

With your hand on the polished jar,
Take my ash and blow it afar.
Let it feel the gentle eastern breeze.
And let the sea water to kiss.
Let me feel the warmth of the glowing sun.
Hugged the gleaming moon before will I be gone.

When thy crimson flowers wither and die.
Take my ash and let it kiss where it lie.
And tomorrow there I’ll spring to life.
In my garden there I’ll grow wild.
For these roses once watered by blood.
Someday again they’ll grow in radiant white.

When a River Meets another River


My first vacation to Pamplona after almost 3 years,
I broke my promise to never return to this place not until I graduated.


When a River Meets another River
January 24, 2007
STR; January 01, 2007

When a river meets another river…
It will create a pool.
Where the water flows in contrast;
And to where the waves dance,
In a disrhythmic tunes!
The pressures created in friction;
It feels amazingly cold.
To where it freezes;
Those unlucky wishes:
It filed the rough rocks.
Breaks it into polished stones,
And where the rusty debris,
Formed pebbles on the shores.
From a distance still you can see.
Mirrors beneath…
From its shallow depth,
The unfathomable daze!
On its elemental force,
Where these two rivers met,
A bond was created
That can’t be lost till the end of time.

When a river meets another river…
It can break promises.
To the water where memories flow,
And with the waves,
Are the forgotten thoughts:
The past will blend on today.
And the future with yesterday:
The current may pull back the time.
Or make the present to redirect.
Beyond its shallow shadow
Beauty and love lies.
You can see those frozen memories.
Serve as a pensive for the heart.
Eyes been burned by tears.
Melted and refueled the desires.
Desires to come back,
And to meet the other half;
Anger may have been polished to vindication.
But it breaks down into fair redemption.
Had been kissed by the waves of forgiveness,
And washed away the curse of grudges!

Waiting


Waiting 
090406

I’m sitting on the sand along the shore.
And waiting for the seagulls for them to soar.
I’m alone in this gloomy somber place.
Dreaming of your lovely candid face.

Playing the hymn on my untuned flute.
This lonely heart remained to be mute.
And as the waves gently kissed my canoe.
I am waiting here on our lost rendezvous.

The sun hid beyond the horizon.
Twilights near to vanish soon be gone.
The night had come the moon gleamed in full.
Yet this heart of mine nothing can lull.

When you said its over I cried not.
But I felt the pain of getting dumped.
In this place where the world once ours.
I saw it shaking and wretched by lies.
