If……
If I were a star at night, I would fall for you
So you can make a wish that I would grant to come true
If I were a rainbow, I’d paint myself outside your window pane
Every time you feel sorrow, whenever you feel pain
If I were a river, then you would be the sea
Cause I would always be coming home to thee
If you were a rose then I’d be the thorn
So then I could protect you from love’s scorn
Only My Heart
I have been waiting all my life to finally love neither without
having my heart broken into a million shattered pieces nor
without having to feel pain. I have experienced this kind of
love with you. My eyes no longer cry, it only smiles with my
heart. My days have never been so brighter, since the day
you came into my life. With you I loved without having to shed
a tear of pain, only of joy. In the past I gave my heart away
to someone who never really cared to have it in the first
place. I’m glad that this time around I gave it to you, as you
in turn gave your to me. There’s nothing much I can offer you,
just my heart, and the love it holds for you.
She Once Fell In Love
She once fell in love
But now she’s out of it
Snapped out of the dream
That one day he would learn to love her too
She has finally awakened
Has brushed the tears off her face
And she has started picking up the pieces of her heart
Someday she’ll fall in love again
And when she does
She’ll fall in love with a smiling heart
Not a broken one.
Thank you for loving me
The very same way I loved thee
Thank you for the smiles that brightens my day
And for brushing all the tears away
And if by chance one day you’d say goodbye
My heart would break and I’d surely die
But before you leave I want you to know
The stars would refuse to shine if you must go
And that I thank you for loving me
The way I know that you loved thee.
Then Came You
Once there was me with a lonely heart
Which has been broken many times, all apart
But then came you and suddenly
Everything in my world changed so beautifully
Now my heart knows not anymore of loneliness
Nor do my eyes weep from sadness
Once there was me with a world so blue
But now my world is filled with colors, when then came you.
14th of February
This 14th of February
I would like you to know
What I feel inside of me
You know I love you so
I’m not asking much from you
I just want to have your heart
But I can’t find the words
I don’t know where to start
All I’m asking is
Will you please be mine?
And on this 14th of February
Will you be my Valentine?
One September Day
Both of our paths crossed one September day
I was broken then and you came to look my way
Not much, between us, was needed to be spoken
Instantly there's a bond between us that can't easily be broken
I love it that you make me feel so good inside
You look beyond the part of me that already died
I appreciate the short sweet mails you send each day
I can't be thankful enough that you came my way
Your friendship means so much to me and I must say
I'm forever grateful you came in my life that September day.
THE PHOTOGRAPH
I held against my palm a photograph of you. I still have it after all these years. I wonder how you look like now, if you still smile the same smile that you wore on this picture, the same grin which used to melt my heart like butter. It's been such a long time since I last looked at your picture, long before I placed it ensconced inside this box tied with a ribbon on it... together with all the poems I wrote for you and the letters I never sent. Funny how I loved you so much but you never knew. You never knew how I would cower each time you would pass by afraid that the drum beat of my heart would be audible. You never knew how I would look out to the sky each night and enunciate my love for you unto the effulgent stars and nor the times I would steal glances of you from a far and the times I broke down and cried over you.
So for the last time I look at you as you stared right back at me from your photograph. Funny now as I recall, I noticed the pain has eluded by time. And as I look back on all those times, tears no longer fill my eyes nor no bitter after taste fills my heart. Rather, a smile curved on my lips. I replace your picture together with all the mementos of the past inside the box, tied the ribbon and placed it right where it had fallen from my top closet shelf. I realized after all these times that somehow still love you, but I also realize that I'm no longer "in love with you". Yes, I still have the photograph of you, the one you thought you had lost.
Internet Love Song
And so it plays on and on, over and over inside my head
And because, there aren't any words I find myself humming instead
It's quite a surprise how a flash of your name could instantly make me smile
The same way you stick your tongue out with a "smiley", once in a while
It's funny to feel my heart beaming, whenever I see you type my name
Although I've seen it being called by others, with you, it's just not the same
It's like I'm caught up by the magic of this internet love song
Although the music isn't there, I can hear my heart singing along
It's quite silly, but frankly I don't seem to care at all
Every time I'm with you, I hear this tune, and I enjoy the fall
Even Before We Met
I have felt your touch even before you held my hand.
Because I have had you hold me in my dreams each night.
I have felt your lips on mine even before our very first kiss
I have imagined it vividly in my every retreat to fantasy.
I have had sang love songs for you even before you heard my voice
I sang each night to the sleeping city.
I knew just how you looked like even before I caught a glimpse of your face
I have memorized every angle, every inch of your shadow.
I have known the color of your eyes and saw how deep they go even before our eyes met.
Yes, I have fallen in love with you even before the day we met.
I have fallen in love with the promise of you one day, coming my way.
The Color of Red
You're the color of sunshine on a bright sunny day
A dash of rainbow after the rain came my way
You're the color of the green that soothes away my pain
The perfect mix of therapy when I'm about to go insane
You're the color of yellow on the flowers in the field
A knight in shining armor complete with a sword and a shield
You're the color of crisp white on a clear perfect sky
The shoulder I could lean on when I'm about to cry
You're the color of the blue on a wide open sea
A sparkling star in the sky gazing down at me
You're the color of red on giant beds of rose
A nice warm blanket draped on my shoulder keeping me warm and close.
I'll be Okay
Weep not for me, for I'll be okay
The sun would soon shine on me one day
Weep not for me, I will be fine
I've already accepted, you’re no longer mine
Weep not for me, for I'm still alive
And this hardship I know I'll soon survive
Weep not for me I'll be alright
As long as I keep my heart out of sight
Weep not for me my wounds are nearly healed
Flowers will soon be blooming in this beautiful field
Weep not for me my dreams are not dead
They will soon be woven back together by hope's thread
Weep not for me for my heart did not perish
Your love I can let go now, but your friendship I'll cherish
Calm After the Storm
One after the other, pieces of her heart soars furiously in the wind gone for eternity
One storm after the other she ends up standing in one piece yet she’s forever incomplete
She has been ravaged so many times by tumultuous funnels of winds, sucking her soul dry of dreams and hopes
One by one she picks up the pieces of what is left of her putting them back together to no avail
Day by day she drags herself to survive although her heart is near succumbing to death barely breathing
Minute by minute her whole being is roaring with thunder and lightning, she is drenched in cold rain, shivering
Each night she goes to slumber wishing that he would be her calm after the storm
Though it’s not unknown to her that he is now the storm inside her heart
He has saved her so many times whisked her away from all the other storms in her life
But now they both know he can’t save her, not this time, as much as he wants to
Still she clings on to the storm in her chest with all her might knowing that this too shall pass
And then when it does she knows that he will always be her calm after the storm
LET LOVE ALONE DIE
I woke up this morning feeling different inside
Somewhere inside me the pain of losing you has died
I carried on the whole day with a smile on my face
I had even began to talk about you with not a single tear's trace
I saw you walk in the room and my heart didn't flinch
It felt so odd, yet and still, I could barely move an inch
I took the courage to say "hi" and you said "hello" back at me
That's when I realized my heart is now completely free
I'm glad you're back although the love we had is gone
But this new journey we embarked on has just begun
Welcome back my friend I missed you so that I could cry
Thank you for your friendship, let love alone die
I'd settle for being friends than forever losing you my dear
Things have fallen into place, all to me now is clear.
BIRTHDAY POEM
I wanted to paint the sky with a giant rainbow today
So as soon as you step out it would brighten your way
I wanted the flowers to bloom in radiant colors for you
And for the birds in the sky to sing you a line or two
I wanted the clouds to form your name in the sky
Have the trees give you shade whenever you walk by
But lacking a fairy God mother and a magic wand too
All could make was this silly birthday poem for you
Why Do we Love Men
1. We love the way our hands fits perfectly inside of theirs
2. We love the way they play with our hair and run their fingers through it
3. We love the way they would wink at us from across the room
4. We love the way their voice sounds when they whisper in our ears
5. We love the way we can rest our heads on their chest and feel so safe
6. We love the way their shirt smell and how good we look in them
7. We love the way they deny that they liked that cheesy love song
8. We love the way they compliment us when we're not even wearing any make up at all
9. We love the way they say "I love you" out loud even when their buddies are around
10. We love they way their arms feel around our shoulder
11. We love the way they act like it didn't hurt when we punch them on the arm
12. We love the way they stare while we're walking towards them
13. We love the way they would steal a kiss and glance if anyone saw
14. We love the way their hands perfectly cup our face to wipe our face
15. We love the way they look inside our eyes that it touches our heart
Now That you’re Back
The storm has passed, now the vast ocean is calm
The love that was lost is now back inside my palm
The clouds are no longer grey and the sky is painted blue
My heart has been revived, no longer breaking in two
The pain no longer exist, it is now part of the past
My dreams no longer shatter, beyond sleep it will last
The empty space in my heart is now full, no longer hollow
My eyes no longer cries, now at last I know not sorrow
Now even my nights are bright and sunny, it's not pitch black
My smile has now returned now that you are back.
September Mistletoe
You picked me up at home it was a lovely Sunday morning
We sat side by side, to the country side we were driving
You took me to your special spot a magnificent view of a fall
The one you said you'd someday name, would it be "kismet" after all?
We drove to your house and promised to bake both of us some muffin
We ended up with a "flour fight" inside the kitchen we were loudly laughin'
I still remember how you patted off the flour from my dark boring hair
And how we just sat there holding hands on your comfy kitchen chair
I recall how we kissed under the September mistletoe with our hands clasped tight
Too bad all of it aren't true, it was just a dream I had last night.
The phone call
The miles between us disappear as soon as I hear your voice
Picking up the phone you say "hello" and I melt like I had no choice
My heart starts beating fast as soon as you start to speak
And for some reason I start getting a rosy color on my cheek
You ask me how my day is and I ask you the same
And in case you didn't know, I love the way you say my name
I love the sound of your laughter like angels giggling in the sky
I can't wipe the smile off my face no matter how hard I try
My heart flutters when you say you love me and saying goodbye is the hardest part
And as I put the phone down I smile and carry your voice inside my heart.
One Last Cry
Picking up the tiny, shattered pieces of my life
I put them back together, overcoming this strife
Not once looking back on our yesterday
Instead wishing for a bright tomorrow to come my way
Shaking off the pain from a heart that’s broken in two
Rebuilding my sandcastle dreams, trying to forget you
Storing away all the memories inside a wooden chest
Kissing away all the sadness, just wishing you best
I walk towards another day without you by my side
Knowing I will be okay even after our love has died
Finally, I see the sun and not just the blue in the sky
I know I’ll soon get over you after this one last cry
LIPS COLLIDE
Lips collide capturing shallow breaths in between
Fleeting touches slide across both their dampened skin
Drunk with passion thunder roars inside their chest
Slowly they move together their warms bodies compressed
Pillows and covers lay sprawled across the wooden floor
As both of them explored each other’s core
Mouthing incognizant words as the sky starts to break
Filling her heart with so much more than it can take
He holds her breathing in what she breathes out
As the rain seemed to drench the long summer’s drought
She falls into slumber as he holds her in his arm
Knowing that he’s forever captured by this woman’s charm.
With A Smile
Thank you for all the times that I will cherish for forever
You’ll always be a part of me, even if we’re no longer together
Thank you for the memories that bring laughter and tears
All of them, I keep inside my heart, like precious souvenirs
Thank you for holding me then when I felt all alone
I will always remember your voice like it was carved in stone
Thank you for wiping the tears that once filled these eyes
Remember that friendship in a love never, ever dies
Thank you for the love that used to brighten my days
For always painting a big smile on my face
Thank you for loving me as long as you could
Remember our love with a smile, because I know I would.
Crescent moon
I'll be waiting no matter how long it takes for you to return
While you are gone this fire inside my heart will continue to burn
I will wish you happy days and peaceful nights while you're away
No matter what happens, good things, for you I will always pray
I'll drop coins in the wishing well for you to find your bliss
I will have the angels sent out to you my goodnight kiss
I will have the moon wrap it's rays on you when you feel cold
In my dreams I'll come to see you and there I'll have you to hold
I will wish you only have sweet dreams when you sleep at night
When you're lost and it's dark I will have the stars be your light
Please have a safe journey and I hope you come back soon
Until then I will whisper my love to you to the crescent moon.
Dear Japs
In the past often times I dream of finding my prince charming, my own
knight in shining armor, who would sweep my off my feet and carry me to
his magical castle to live happily ever after. To me then, it was but a fantasy,
a dream concocted in my mind. But that fateful day our paths crossed, the
fantasy that I've ever so vividly pictured in my head seemed to have been
transformed into reality right before my eyes, in the form of a man who
loved me for and in spite of who I am.
Though you were not clad in a shining armor and even if you don't live in a
castle, I thank God for you. You are more than I've ever dreamed love to be.
Thank you for making all my dreams come true, for sweeping me off my
feet and for building me sand castles. You may not have a prince but you
have made me your princess.
On Christmas Eve
Two friends walking side by side, sharing similar fates
Although worlds apart from each other, life splattered the same colors on their slates
Both badly hurt and broken by the people they loved so well
But with smiles on their faces how could anyone really tell
12 hours separating them as they talk over morning mist and evening dew
Not letting their loved ones hear their hearts breaking in two
Venting and mourning, soothing each other with each other’s pain
Both not understanding why their worlds have gone insane
Through typed-up words they try to decipher what their minds can’t conceive
As in unison they wish for their love would come back for them on Christmas Eve
Even If My Heart Would Break
Here I lay inside an empty room
Realizing that in my heart something has bloom
Love has slowly been growing inside
And it’s something I think that cannot be denied
Sitting here all alone I just think of you
Wondering if ever this heart will break in two
But I don’t care even if my heart is at stake
Cause I will love you even If my heart would break
