A Time for Everything

A couple preparing for their wedding

Suddenly grows cold

Relationship fall apart

A worker waiting to sign an offer

Everything is done until

The company changed their mind

A woman about to give birth

Then the doctors says

They can’t hear any heart beat

A desperate man in love

Learning that the girl he love

Already is with someone else

No matter how hard we

Try to control everything

We lose those we value the most

Perhaps it is God’s way of reminding us

Not to rely on material things

But put one’s Faith in HIM

Our Lord endure forever

While everything may pass

Only He will remain.

For there is a time for everything

And everything happens

In His time.

Selfie Poem

Is it the mystery in your eyes

Or the magic of your smile

That seems to always awaken

In me this feeling of desire

Is it your seemingly innocence

Or those playful cheerful acts

That seems to captivate

My thoughts of you each night

Why oh why you’re made

Perfectly the way you are

It makes me lose some sleeps

Or dream in broad daylight

Is it silly of me to try

Reach you without you knowing

Or perhaps I’ll just let time

Flies and wash away this crime

Oh my oh my, when can

I come closer to you again

Or will I just keep on

Staring in all your selfies.

When you take those pictures

Do you ever ask if you

Are beautiful or captivating because

I say… you are

LIFE

Months later we’ll find ourselves
Awed wondering where we are and where we are going
Having surrounded ourselves with friends to forget
About time, an evil adversary stealing our lives
Luxuries we spend to make us feel
CONTENTED.

Knowingly friends do come and go
In time some of them die, some we want to die
That luxuries becomes obsolete
All new things come
The fact of life is
ALWAYS changing.

Now what remains after everything has pass
Are but memories of yesterday
Is this feeling constant over time?
Spur of the moment maybe
All of my pasts have already been
ELAPSED.

Perhaps several months before we saw ourselves
Uttering to accomplish gigantic feat, like a fire engaging
So much so we found ourselves
On the company of each other wondering about
…
LIFE.

Until Now

Night after night
I keep on thinking about you
Your eyes that seems to shine
Your lips that is always filled with laughter
Your skin so warm and supple.

You are everything that I hoped for
Everything that I dreamt of
Being with you makes me want to
live life to the fullest.

I never knew that life could be
as wonderfully colorful
In fact never knew life
until you came.

You understood me better
Than anyone else
You can see right through me
And hear my thoughts.

You are always all smiles
Whenever you're with everyone
Always full of laughter
No wonder you attract a lot of men.

Seeing you dance seductively
Hearing your melodic singing
Reminds me of someone from the past
I never knew that I never knew

I feel that we've met long before
Somewhere in the intersection of time
That I was not able to tell you
Something which I can't even tell you
until now.

Time

If everything else
changes
will it mean
the end

or perhaps
just hiding
behind the
intricacies
of time

if seeing her
once means
living forever
is it worth the wait?

time maybe
evil but it is what
brought thy heart
closer

Will wait forever
just to see her
even if she never
knew

When my Heart Stops Beating

I have known no love till you came into my life.

Every time you smile, all day’s anxieties seem bearable. My aggravation fades away as your subtle voice whispers its melody to my ears. Whenever we meet I distraughtly try to put my best foot forward, hoping that somehow you’ll notice. I never known how to gag but I tried anyhow just to see the child in your every laugh. I texted you and called you more often, pretending to be just a friend.

You gave me gifts and helped me with my school works. I did appreciate all your efforts. You shared with me your time and I did call you friend.

I have asked about your likes, queried about your dislikes. Chuckled upon hearing you spoke of the peculiar name of your father. I also ceaselessly pay attention when you recount the love story of your parents. I’ve called you Ate, thank God you didn’t call me Bunso. Then there was this moment that I asked whether you are already attached.

I said no, knowing that you might leave. I’ve told you my likes and my dislikes. I related to you my reminiscences from High School days with my peers. You seem to be pleased hearing my stories.

All my weaknesses I have made known to you. I have shown you that I am no superman. I’ve told you even the concealed moments that I’ve cried. You then comforted my weaknesses with your soothing smile. I felt strength growing inside me whenever you’re around. I promised you that I would always be here for you, to tap you on your shoulder, to slap your head playfully. I said that we’ll be just like kids enjoying each other’s company. However, there are times that I am troubled, whether you’re just feigning exultant when I’m around.

I’ve affirmed that I have not feigned any act. I’ve told you that I don’t fake emotions. Yes, you did tap my shoulder and cuff my head. You always tell me how picturesque I look. I tried not to get carried away with your flowery words. I sometimes assume those as part of your jokes.

I have ascertained to you the fact that my intentions were no jokes. I showed you that I am a gentleman and would endure anything even the whole of everything for you.

You hold my bag when you thought I felt tired. You’ve cosseted me from the heat of the sun, asked if I’m alright every time I cough. You were so concerned for everything that I am. Sometimes, it seems that you no longer trusted that I can do things on my own.

I have trusted you.

You always tell me that you miss me and that you care. But, hey, we have profuse studies to attend to, right?

That’s why I offered you my hand, a hand that you often ignored.

Because, I can do it on my own. I don’t want to bother you so much.

I’ve always told you that I would always stand for you. There are the times I even act a little zany telling you that you are my “only hope” I really didn’t care being crazy if it is for Love, more so if that Love is you. I have given up my pride because of you and would give myself only for you! But it seems to me that you just didn’t care and you just didn’t mind.

I did care and I did mind. I just have too many things to do.

I understand, no matter what I say, no matter what I do, I would always remain unworthy…undeserving even of your acquaintance! Thanks for being a friend!

I know you love me but…

But what? I guess you are right no matter what your ‘but’ pertains to. You wanted me to leave and the message of your dodging is clear.

You never texted till then.

I never texted because I promised that I’ll no longer bother you. I’m letting you do what you want. Till then, I have tried my best not loving you. But your memories have already left too much marks to my once unhurt heart…

You never did call and I’ve never seen you. I have texted you twice to query if you’re alright. I again called you a friend but you never replied…

You have shown me Love and for a while, let me felt Love. You have brought life to my lifeless soul. You have caused my heart to beat for the first time, without you my heart will never beat the same.

Without me, your heart will remain beating.

My hearts beats only for you, now that you’re gone, now is when my heart stops beating.

Adieu

Adieu à mon inspiration
Adieu à ma grande joie
Adieu à espérer

Si je reste cette nuit
Les choses seraient-elles différentes?
Ou tout simplement le restent les mêmes

Comme je ne sais pas
Que réserve l'avenir
Je suis juste obligé d'aspirer

Un jour, je voudrais
Pour vous revoir
Et j'espère que je suis prêt

Comme je le disais, pas plus
Je cesse d'être romantique
Tout espoir
