Raindrops
It glides without a sound yet it’s gracefulness speaks volume
It’s been an unusually cold Sunday, summer morning
As I sit on this old wooden bench soaked with a feeling of solemnity
My lips slightly curved upwards as my gaze wanders off to the sky
Staring at the rays of the sun peeking in between pillows of clouds
Nearby the leaves creates a melody that reminds me of a lullaby
One that used to croon me to sleep when I was still a child
These are moments in life that I would have loved to share with you
But what we had was short lived, one that I could only wish to come true
If raindrops were like stars I would have made a wish on each drop
With eyes shut I’ll ask for this numbing pain in my heart to stop
Poetry
Took a pen in my hand
And poured out my heart in writing….
Vowels and consonants they spell my emotions
It’s been ages since I’ve come back
To this place inside of me where I feel most at home
A small corner in my heart where I store bittersweet memories
And paint them in poetries, reliving each moment
It is in writing that where you can see my soul
A piece of paper holding my entirety
Squall
Taking shapes and forms of familiar things
One, far across the East looks like a heart
But as fast as it took shape
It changed back to being just a simple cloud
Warning me of a possible downpour
The sky mumbles in thunder
As I stood in awe at the greatest show
Enfolding right before my very eyes
A perfect storm cloud in the making
Rummages for strength in the wind
I hear a rumbling in the skies throat, and I shiver
I held myself tighter than I normally should
Anticipating the chilling wind
It slams across my cold pale face
Touching me with a tinge of dampness
The trees sway in a synchronized motion
I know it’s preparing to dance with the rain

Buwan
With elegance so refined
Showering her moonbeams
Like life’s grand design
She watches over the sleeping city
Like a mother watches her little one
Weaving her magic spell
Leaving no choice but sleep to none
Only the fairies in the forest
Can dance under her radiant light
Her luminous face so gentle
Spinning her protective web tonight
Keeping me safe in my slumber
Making sure than when I wake
I have nothing but sweet dreams,
When the dawn breaks, for me to take.

Night Drive
The street looks after it rains
The way the pavement shines
And how slightly different
My footsteps sound on wet concrete
As I walk back to where I parked my car
It was a little past 10 and
I was in no rush to get home
I had the window rolled down
Letting the wind blow on my face
It still has the feeling of rain
And it smelled so good
I sniffed and let it fill my lungs
As I drove by, one by one
The shops in town closed for the night
I was headed home and the radio
Was playing a love song I knew so well
I sang as I took in the beauty of the evening
The streets and trees glimmering
As raindrops reflect the lights in different directions
And I say to myself, “I can drive all night.”

Photograph
Or your sweet, gentle smile
Nothing for me to come back to
To remember you once in a while
All I have are old pictures
But they will never be enough
It is void of the beauty of your heart
And laughter cannot be captured in a photograph

No Rain Today
“Sway with me.”, the daffodil seemed to whisper
As a sudden gust of wind blew from the south
The grasses created a mellow sound
As they all danced together with the breeze
I twirled barefoot on the grass
They feel like velvet under my stripped feet
I twirled around looking up to the sky
As my skirt ballooned below me
It was a perfect cloudless blue
I said to myself, there will be no rain today
As I brush a single teardrop from my eye

Star Dust
Venus is falling from the sky
It seems to scatter stardust in my eyes
No, don’t think that these were tears for you
It vanished behind the hill
Leaving not a trail in a sky
Only star dusts in my eyes

Peter Pan to Wendy
Come sit down with me
Let’s listen to the sea
Come lay with me
Let’s set our souls free
Come hold my hand
So you can feel my heart
Come dance with me
Our feet sinking in the sand
Come fly with me
And we’ll reach for the stars
Come away with me
Let’s go to “never Land”

Waiting for Spring
The snow on the ground begins to melt
making way for the flowers to sprout
The chill in the air dissipates
as the day becomes longer than night
Winter will soon be a recent memory
and colors of the earth will come alive
As roses under the snow arouse
from it's deep slumber under a blanket of white
Trees will soon grow back their leaves
as birds begin to fly back from south
Filling the air with their melodious cheep
as if singing the flower buds to come alive
Finally, when the season has arrived
and the frozen teardrops have washed away
All hearts filled with winter's chill,
will find their warmth in Spring's sunny days.
Kissing Frogs
I know that you will never be my prince
And that I will never be a princess
Fairytale endings only exist
In pages bound by book covers
Written by silly writers
I know there will never be a
“They lived happily ever after”
Not in the story of my life
I will cease to be nothing
But a naive girl, kissing frogs.

Little Poltergeist
I can feel you’re on to me
Though you are never there
Invisible to my eyes
Yet I know you are anywhere
Your touch can feel chilly and cold
Like this January night
Making the hair on the back of my head
Stand on their ends because of fright
You make your presence feel breezy
It’s almost like a waft
Playing tricks on me, at times
I sometimes feel like a daft
But I should not be scared of you
Because in my mind I know
You’re just as scared as me
And you are not a foe.

Not Quite
I can almost taste the rain
And imagine dancing under it
I can almost feel autumn in the air
And see the warm colors of the season
I can almost hear the waves splashing
And my feet touching the grainy sands
I can almost feel you loving me
The way destiny should have plotted
I almost had your heart
Almost, but then, not quite.
If It Ever Snowed
If we ever had winter
I would love to spend it with you
Sit by the cozy fire place
As we share a story or two
I won’t drape my self in a blanket
But then, instead, wish
That you would snuggle close to me
Let the world around us vanish
I would spend it all day
Making snow angels on the lawn
Throw snow balls at your face
From noon until dawn
If it ever snowed, just for a day
I would make a snowman just like you
Then I’d buy a giant freezer
So it won’t melt ‘til summer is due.
War Cry
She breaks her silence
A flash flood of emotion
Breaking serenity
Like heavy clouds
She spill rain of anguish
Pouring down this parched land
A roaring cry,
Blasting through the night
Electricity, splitting the sky
Her heart rumbles on.
….A war cry for love
Jaded
Your warm smile faded
No longer smiling at me
The anticipation has wane
You have become jaded
Things are definitely cold
And you leave me chilling
Now there’s nowhere to go
Just stuck between here and now
Should we move forward?
Or take a step back?
Should we have not said what we said?
Tell me-
Did “I love you” get in the way?
Silly Birthday Poem
If I was to be with you on your special day
I would make the sunshine come your way
Let the rainbow be your bridge to anywhere
Hold a firework display with a thousand signal flare
I’d let the trees salute you as their leaves sway
Fill the air with scents of flowers all through out the day
Have the angels sing your name down from the sky
Even for just one day, give you the power to fly
But given the distance and the lack of a magic wand too
All I could make was this silly poem for you.
Kept Inside
My heart was shattering but you didn’t know
Just because I guess, I didn’t let it show
You were causing me pain but you couldn’t see
That’s why I guess you keep on hurting me
My world fell apart when you didn’t love me
And now she holds your heart, which I can see
But how are you to know what I feel inside
When I didn’t let you see the tears each time I cried
Who’s to Blame?
I blame you for the tears I cried
I blame you for the dreams that died
I blame you for the pain I feel
I blame you but I love you still
I blame you for this broken heart
I blame you for tearing my world apart
I blame you and I blame myself too
I blame me for falling in love with you
Last night
I cried last night
When I thought of you
And I wished to a star
That you’ll love me too
I cried last night
‘Cause I felt the pain
While inside of me
My heart wept like rain
I cried last night
Because you don’t love me
You don’t have to say it
It’s obvious, I can see
I cried last night
When my heart broke
Because you can’t seem to hear
The words my heart spoke
I cried last night
But what good did it do
Even after all the tears
I’m still not over you
I Never Wanted This
I never felt much pain
Until you broke my heart in two
I never felt this way
Until I fell in love with you
I never wanted this to happen
And then turn out this way
I never wanted this feeling
I want it to go away
I never wanted to fall in love
Not with you my friend
I never wanted to play the part
Of another fool again
I never wanted this
So please do not blame me
It’s not my fault dear friend
It’s my heart you see.
Linger
There is a feeling dwelling in this heart of mine
But my mind tells me I should not cross the line
Because people, like the wind, they just come and go
They may be here today, but tomorrow you will never know
You keep them in your heart not knowing the danger
Anytime they can just leave and you are left to suffer
But I will stand by you and shelter you from the rain
Shield your heart with mine to spare you from pain
This I tell you friend, I am here to stay forever
I am not like the wind, and in your life I plan to linger.
Blind
Maybe you didn’t know you hurt me
Maybe you didn’t know I cried
Maybe you didn’t know my dreams are gone
Maybe you didn’t know why my heart died
Maybe you didn’t know you’ve cause me pain
Maybe you didn’t know you broke my heart in two
Maybe you didn’t know what I felt
Maybe you didn’t know how much I love you
I’ll Try Not To
There was a time I swear I heard you say you love me so
But if you do I ask myself, why did you let love go
I can recall so clearly when you told me you’ll always stay
Then why am I here all alone why did you go away
You told me the love inside your heart will never die
But when I found out the love is dead, I wanted so much to cry
But I’ll try not to for the sake of my heart and me
And if ever I do I’ll turn my back so you will never see.
Phone Call
I’ve finally decided to call him up that night
Cause I want to hear his voice
As he picked up the phone and said hello
I had to say something, I had no choice
Yet I found myself hanging up on him
For I got quite scared in the end
But deep inside my heart I’m happy now
Since I heard his voice again
Cobwebs
Intertwined and overlapping a sinew of thread
Hanging in corners forming a silent death bed
Capturing tiny creatures that go bump in the night
Almost invisible when hidden from the light
Consuming spaces where ever they may
Children around it would never dare to play
Spooky at day and more so at night
These sinewy threads capture the light
Confession
You held me by the hand
to show me you understand
You brushed the tears on my face
leaving not a single trace
You told me that it was alright
as you sat by my side that night
Holding me close as I wept
Confessing the love that I've long kept
Realize
I wanted to go away because I wanted you to realize that
when I’m gone, I also meant something in your life.
That I wasn’t just the girl who fell in love with you
Because I was more than that, .I was your friend.
Autumn
The leaves are falling from the tree
Like the tears that you now see
And when they fell onto the ground
I heard them make a rustling sound
Once my heart of glass fell too
When I lost hold of it and loved you
Like the leaves my heart once also fell
I know, 'cause not it's broken, that's why I can tell
Question and Answer
Q:
How could you love him when he doesn't love you
How could you when you broke your heart in two
And why dud you ever give him your heart
When you know he'll just tear it apart
A:
To tell you frankly I really don't know
All I know is that I love him so
Just A thought
.
..someday someone will break your heart too
and you'll feel the pain I felt when you broke mine in two
A Broken Heart
what's this i see, a broken heart
who could've been the guy who tore it apart
and why did he have to break the heart in two
when the owner did nothing wrong, I just loved you
The Promise
I have never loved someone
as much as i loved you
And hear my promise I'll never
break your heart in two
You may not believe me but
this is true
Just promise me the same,
don’t break my heart in two
Once I'm over You
Don't mind the tear in my eye
Or the heart that's breaking in two
For someday it'll also mend
Once I've gotten over you
The Locket
All that's left is this locket
I hold from inside my pocket
it's the only things he's left of me
Aside form a broken hear and a memory
Criminal: The Victim
If loving you was my crime
then how come I'm now the victim of a broken heart
probably because everybody's a victim
of their own crime in love
Irony
In a blink of an eye my life flashed before me
My heart was gripped with fear, I was under his mercy
I was face to face with death in a dark corner street
It's sharp knife pointed against my neck I was cold down to my feet
I wanted to succumb at one point and let him take me away
But someone sent beautiful angels to save me that day
I looked death in the eyes and it wasn't really that bad
Cause life is as cruel anyway and that's what make me sad
If I elope with death then life can no longer hurt me
Can death become life and from it's pain can it set me free?
Where is my heart?
Where is my heart,
is it with you?
It is quite fragile
so don’t break it in two.
Almost Believed
I almost believed that I wouldn’t
get my heart broken when I loved you
But the fragments of what my heart
used to be proved me wrong.
Not Me
