Sunday Night

It was a Sunday Night
when the lights came on
when you said hi

and i drew a smile

it was a Sunday Night

when my world changed

and never again

stayed the same

it was a Sunday Night

like tonight

Only

We are in the middle of a fight

Third Poem

I didn’t know you’d last

until I write my third poem

I thought you we re feather like

Light

Unsaturated

Fleeting

Vanishing

In my silence you’d come

Rumbling

Shaking my skin and beneath

Leaving me

Slackjawed

Blue

Drenched

And when my gongs sound

Neon and orange lights dancing

And colored gumballs raining

On my usually cluttered life

You remain

Silent

Placid

Undisturbed

Careless

Unmindful

Guess you are more like the moon

Constantly changing your face

Ephemeral

Unmatched

Waxing

Then waning

Yet ever so uniquely

Illumines my night

This is one of my favorite poems from my 'vault'. I thought it would be nice to dig some pieces from there as my present situation doesnt allow me to produce some pieces. Its been a struggle writing these days.

I am finally ok. I thank God for the 'mind'. It helps us make sensible decisions. I thank God that after everything that has happened, I have only good things to remember. Well, its more of a choice to remember only the good things. What's the use of hoarding things that wont make you smile, right?

Well, here's me wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas. I'd be back for that well flavored Christmas post.And hoping I could write again with more depth. hehe. I kinda am embarassed at how shallow I have been writing.

thanks fro dropping by! Ciao!

Today, A Sunday

I saw you today

over at Uncle Ray's

I heard you tellin'

about how you wooed them

and how you are takin'

this world for some spinnin'

I must say, Baby

this made me happy

watching from where i was sittin'

with the smoothies i was sippin'

i giggled for each of your laughter

i doodled my heart on a tissue paper

so here i am writing you a poem

could have been better if i can sing you a song

well,

i just want to say baby,

i am happy

to see you happy

I saw you today

over at Uncle Ray's

I usually don't go there on Sundays

i think

the clouds are clearing

i think i am hearing

the sunshine singing

and the daisies dancing

i think i have finally

let go of you

darling

JUST?

I pray to God you would know the truth.

I pray to God he would reveal to you the truth.

because it tears me now everyday

to hear you say:

"She just walked away"

Do you know,

I now fight wounded?

I now live with only half a heart?

I now sing with a half-finished song?

Do you know,

I can no longer finish my poems?

It pains me to hear you say:

"Phew!!! She just walked away!!"

Hometown Hero

You strut the streets

like you own the town

and they come buzzing

to offer you a crown

you drop a word

only what you can afford

hiding fear

behind your sword

i heard you are the best of them

conquering kingdoms

with one arm

and a pen

i heard you led enemies to death

drawing owed breath

with a song

and a string

but your eyes

your eyes

they know not

how to lie

and my heart

my heart

has mastered

your art

that amidst this dancing

and ladies lain waiting

this chanting and swooning

of your homecoming

is a heart that longs

for the peace of the night

a heart that longs

to live right

just alright

i refuse to listen to the crowd

i sit proud

here by my window

covered in a shroud

Secret Love

Love abundant

Kept in secret

is

Like burning coal

Never flaming

Slowly turning

To gray ashes

That will eventually

Be blown by the wind

Miracle

Miracle

you are to me

A miracle

you will always be

A miracle

brought us close

A miracle

entwined our souls

A miracle

will make us see

This miracle

between you and me

A miracle

It will take a miracle

a miracle

to set us free

Wrong Song

You sang me a melody

it ended with a broken chord

or was it I

who heard it wrong?

My ears must have tuned

to the wrong song

By The Way

By the way

I forgot to say

I love the sight

Of you devouring porkchops

I love to stare at your feet

And your crooked teeth

I love your sarcastic laugh

And that crease on your face

By the way

I forgot to say

Don’t look at me the way you do

I start to melt away

Everytime you turn your back

A part of me

With you is stuck

And by the way

I regret to say

My heart sinks

every time you walk away

and when you are around

I fasten myself to the ground

scared to be displaced again

by your electrifying presence

My November

It wasn't long ago

when I was lonely

and I met a soul

in

November

It wasn't long ago

when i watched the scene change

by my window

one

unsuspecting November

It wasn't long ago

when my world was changed

rearranged

one

cold November

It wasn't long ago

when love visited me

one

beautiful November

and

left

one

month before

this November

It wasn't long ago

yes,

you must now have an idea

how it is

how it has been

and how lonely it will be

this

NOVEMBER

November Dawning

November is dawning

was it just yesterday

when you said

you'd stay?

and now

November finds its way

into my heart

this poem has no art

can you tell?

?

I know you shut me out

but how far

can you hide

from the thoughts

that stir you inside

leading you

to me

and to

the beautiful

memories.

I miss you

tell me

how do you live

without me under your breath

how do you breathe

without me filling your air

tell me how

tell me now

because in this world

absent of you

i die every second,

every minute

that i think of you

truth

Waking up again

questions in my head

do i start to explain?

or do i whisper in the wind?

truth will set us free

truth will

truth is

free

Stay Here Forever - Jewel

One of my favorite songs. Baby, let's walk...

Bad As it Gets - Jewel

I ache

My dear,

I saw a tower tall and I saw it slowly fall. It was devastating.

I didnt know how we got here. I dont know the truth in all these. It is painful to see something i believe in so much, die.

I dont know what to do with my pain. Suddenly, I run out of options. I dont know what else to say.

I ache.

and i know you do too.

I am truly truly sorry. I think i told you that, remember?

sad sunday!

i miss you!

here we are we are talking but it feels like you are so far away. your mind is filled with things. tonight, i was hoping i could squeeze myself in. but maybe, your life is already too crowded for me.

or maybe, im just putting too much drama in everything. if i am, im sorry. I just miss you terribly and my heart could almost burst from not having a way to let you know that i love you. my silence is hard, but i will get by.

my heart hopes every minute that you wil stay fine. i care for you. and tonight, a silent sunday, may you find a small spot in your heart to care for me too.

i remain...yours.

My dearest,

its hard to see you sad. I wish i could be the same to you as i was in the past.. vibrant...clumsy... enthusiastic... LIFE. But darling, things are diffrent now.

I watched Dear John last weekend and i cried buckets. I thought about you. I suddenly missed you so bad that i wished i could tell you how much. But i know i couldnt.

Sometimes, i fear that I would lose you. If 'letters' is the only bridge that gets me to you, what will happen now that I CANT WRITE to you? its hard. it gets harder everyday.

But there is only one thing i know: If GOD who made this universe brought us together... he will surely bring us together again...if our story doesnt end here.

i miss you. I never lack the longing to be with you... but for now, we shall be STRANDED.

i love you still. You may not have heard me say this for a long time now...but my silence has not changed that fact.. not a single bit.

I remain...yours.

You probably wonder why I left just like that. Or, you might be already used to me leaving at any random moment that you don’t attempt to see the logic anymore in this.

Darling, as of the moment, i will let God explain to you why. I will keep mum and let God’s time and arrangements defend me.

Its only been two days, but I find my nights empty. I am always half asleep, as if half of my body is else where, seeking to be beside you. The distance now is made larger. It is painful.

But soon, we would be in one vast land, unseparated by water.

And sooner, I will walk your soil, and sit under your shadows. I will breathe the air you breathe and sing your song in your ears.

We will sit beside each other and look at the blue ocean… yours not mine. I will giggle at your orange soil and you will squirm at the sight of my dusty feet. Yes, they look like ginger slabs.

We wouldn’t be looking at the moon. Your face and my face are too much beauty to behold.

I will trace the vein marks on your right forearm. I have always wanted to touch them from afar.

I believe you and I will be together… soon. I just wait for God to make that arrangement.

Baby, I love you…. And I miss you now more than ever.

I remain … yours.
