Have you heard of Him?

Have you ever heard of a Man
Who dies for his friend?

Have you ever known of a Man
With a special purpose
With pure love and devotion
Who had saved mankind?

Have you ever known of a Life?
Which has changed the entire world?

He must be very special
A life which lived in solitaire
Endured sufferings just so
Any man is given hope.

There are times when we feel
Life is unfair.

But we’re just having a taste
Of the most unfairly treated
And most ignored
Life on Earth.

I don’t have absolute understanding
About this Man, nor I believe you do.

But there’s one thing I’m certain
About Him; He was true
He is true, and He will
Be true forever.

I discovered this poem from a small draft book that I used to keep four years ago. Fresh ideas and mumblings were scribbled in this book. It's barely half full, ignored and forgotten. I saw it this morning while I searched from my piles of books and notes, I opened and read it, and found this piece.

I wrote this poem as an introduction to a song that the church choir which I used to sing with performed in a concert. The song was titled "One Life".

Sometimes

Sometimes I wish I had a different life.
A life with so much freedom
One that allows me to explore,
Risk and try different adventures
Sometimes life is pulling me down
Too much work, too much pressures
It’s sickening to have a life
That’s getting routine.

Sometimes I look back and I feel bad
Remembering all the hardships I left behind
Yet they make me realize how much
Further I had gone
How much trials I endured
How much challenges I have won.

Sometimes I dream for wonderful adventures.
A ticket to Paris, or a tour to England.
But there's no better than
To hike the tallest steeps in Cambodia.
Sometimes I just want to sit and write
About how the hero comes for the rescue of
his fragile lady. His masculine arms carry
The girl with porcelain hands.

Sometimes I long to stay in the mountains,
Where the perfect paradise blaze whenever
The sunset flash her bloody dim light
And I will paint. But Sometimes
I’m just too tired. My bed’s so inviting
And I would get an afternoon nap.

I came across this old poem that I wrote sometime in 2006 while scanning through my old diary. How I wish I can stil retrive most of my early poems that have gone missing. There were about 40+ of them.

Fragrance

A fragrance very manly

Still fills the air

In spite being lonely

I embraced your trail.

Here in my room,

Alone.

Broad shoulders

I used to lean on,

Strong muscled arms

Those serve as my pillows

Are gone for tonight

More nights.

The last vision I saw

Your arms around me

Sitting on your well-built leg

I smelled the perfume

On your neck

Secured.

But you left your

Heart for me

And brought mine

With you.

I will endure

For you.

I LOVE YOU

[dedicated to Joaquin Glenn Sarabia
Happy 5th Monthsary]



When I wake up in the morning,
First thing in mind is you.
It brings me smile
All the while.

‘Cause the love that you have for me
Is too big and too much
To fill my heart;
Takes all part.

I’ve never been loved like you do
Nev’r been taken care of
As much you do
Just from you.

And because of this I love you.
I wish to share my heart
My love even life
Only with you.

Yes, there are times when I am scared
Scared that I might fail you
But I’ll try hard
To be true.

If God has plan for me and you
A future together
Then don’t ever
Let me go.

I will love you with all my heart
Will try my best and be
Good girl always
Not bad girl : )

I know I can hurt you badly
At times when I do that
I feel so bad
I am sorry

Before I close my eyes at night
Last words I hear from you
Magic words: One
Two Three Four

And I thank God for having you
A gem that’s rare to find
I can shout loud
I love you.

Adieu to my Sunshine

photo by: fantasystock

The stillness of my room

And the coldness of the walls

Defeat the warmth of the foam

I sat, alone.


Staring through the window

Pass through the balcony

The sky bestowed

It's gloomy.


No stars.

No moon.


Searching for the light

My eyes tried hard

Even just a candle light

I looked forward.


My heart yearns for that light

Is it shy?

My head faces the plight

Did it fly?


But I said goodbye

to that sunshine.


Not that I didn't want it to shine

Nor did I want it to hide

But that it was mine

for a short time.


Not that he didn't bear his light

Farther than a far he shined

But with curtains of light traps

He was trapped.


Who am I to free his snares?

If I'm, but a silhouette?

Blessed by that sunshine, I was

A treasure, he was.


Should I kill to reach the rays?

What's the price?


But I had to let go.

With a smile on my lips

And tears in my eyes,

Let me say "Adieu"

To my sunshine.

Sunshine at night

Fingers tangled together
Wrapped upon each other
The feel of his skin
Tucked above my shin
Is heaven

The warmth of his hug
And the smell of his neck
Are too strong for a tug
That sends my heart to its peak
Not bleak

A raise of his eyebrow
Means, a punch line he'll throw
With lips forming a line
Gives a handsome smile
Worthwhile

The feel of his beard
Upon my fingertips
A chuckle is heard
When I touched him
Above the lips

The strength he gives
In my heart lives
Regardless of fear
He remains so dear
And bear

In the dimness of the night
Saved the shy moonlight
A question came unexpectedly,
"Will you wanna be with me?"
Struck me

As free as the river
So rich were the emotions
I never felt ever
Arms stretch wide in motion
Came a loud "Yes!"

Three common letters
Why-eeeh-esss
My whole life is at stake
But I won't break
Promise

Sealed by a bear hug
Our hearts met
Await may the fog
Who would bet?
But God

I offer him a clean sheet
As white as a sheep
Yet to be written
His love statement
I'm waitin'

Isn't he brave enough
to take the fight?
Isn't he bold enough
to follow his heart?
Yet, isn't he trapped?

Moon and stars were shy
Giving way for that sunshine
In his arms that very night
A silent prayer in my mind
"Deliver him for me, Oh God!"

Unresolved

Would you dare?

It's tempting
It blesses your soul

It's addicting
It has power too strong to pull

It's fascinating
It brightens your day

It's overwhelming
It teaches you how to play

It's disturbing
It feels like flame

It's screaming
It leaves you for blame

Would you dance?

Would you taste its sweetness
and bear its angst?

Look ahead

Danger!

Attraction!

Decisio n!
