Love and Heartache

In the quiet of the night, where shadows softly blend, 
I trace the echoes of a love that won’t amend. 
Your laughter’s gentle trace still dances in my mind, 
A melody of moments we were destined to unwind.

In every sunrise I find the ghost of your embrace, 
In every fleeting twilight, I still seek your face. 
Yet time, the cruel thief, has stolen what we knew, 
Leaving me with memories, and dreams that we once grew.

Your absence is a silence that speaks in aching tones, 
A void where once our hearts beat in harmonious zones. 
Each heartbeat is a whisper of the love we used to share, 
Now fading into shadows, lost within despair.

The promises we made, now fragments of the past, 
The tender words we spoke, just echoes that can’t last. 
I wander through the remnants of a love that used to be, 
Holding on to fragments of what we once set free.

Oh, how the night winds carry the weight of dreams undone, 
A heart that’s torn and tattered, in the wake of setting sun. 
Yet in this sea of sorrow, where heartache meets the dawn, 
I cherish every heartbeat of a love that’s now withdrawn.

For though the pain is endless and the tears may never cease, 
The love we shared was worth the cost, a bittersweet release. 
So here’s to love and heartache, to the joy and to the strife, 
For in their tangled dance, we find the echoes of our life.

Tears in Waiting

I think it is now the time for me
To weep and let my tears fall down
For I now slowly feel and see
That it’s time for you to leave the town

Darling, when it’s time for you to leave
Please hold my hand and say goodbye
Then a hug is all I have to give
And whisper you that I’ll be standing by

I’ll wait until you return dear
Even if my waiting is vague and nil
And even until the end of my life comes near
For time may pass but I will stay still

When you're gone, I’ll set my eyes to no one
And keep myself in a solitary place
And once I hear that you’re back in town
I’ll seek for you to fill my heart’s empty space

However, when we’ll meet again dear
And I’ll find that you’re no longer mine
To bother you I will do never
And keep my tears until my dying time

Stay Beside Me

Come, listen to the sound

of the chirping crickets,
of the night bird,
and other insects.

Come, we sit
on the fallen tree,
reclined on the earth,
then we watch the stars above.

Come, place your head
on my shoulder,
and your long hair,
the fragrance I smell.

Come, feel my warmth
and I feel your warmth,
in the cold night,
I hug you tight.

Sometimes

Sometimes in our life, there’s an instance,

that we were given a chance,

To choose the road to take and walk on,

and decide on things that come along.

Sometimes, as we walk along the road,

we meet someone we can’t avoid.

That no matter how we try to evade

the heart always takes the lead.

Sometimes, we try to fight it out

to overcome the things we doubt

But no matter how strong we are,

the heart prevails in this war.

The battle between the heart and the mind

is a war so hard to beat and bind.

For when a feeling is at stake

only the heart will reign and direct.

Sometimes, no matter how a thing is wrong

the heart sees nothing but beauty alone

And whatever the world will comment,

the heart will follow what is meant.

The bottom line now is to face reality,

to follow what your emotions say,

But never sacrifice what makes you happy,

At the end of the day, your decisions stay.

Seasons of Love

It was in fall when I met you

As you walked with a gloomy face

There’s no one cared, neither one had noticed

But in my fleeting look, I saw some grace

Then fall had petered out and winter came

Fate had intrude and I met you again

I thought I saw you appeared so calm

With a graceful walk but a cold grin

When spring had arrived I was hoping

For interference from a prowler fate

Then I saw you with a genuine smile

A stunning beauty had made me quiet

The summertime was the most wonderful

Strolling around holding each other’s hand

The fulfilled time and cheerful hearts

Changes the life that used to be bland

Simple Christmas

I have a wish on Christmas day

not for me but for everybody

a wish for all to be merry

but celebrate in a simple way

As clock ticks and years are fast leaving

Christmas celebrations are changing

from simple one to profit-making

It becomes the way for carousing

So thrilled that people tend to forget

that Christmas is not for sumptuous feast

neither the reason for pricey gifts

It’s Christ who makes the Christmas complete

To rejoice depends on your belief

and it’s not all about the word thrift

perhaps it’s a pleasure for yourself

but Christ came with nothing for Himself

Sure, you have the right to expend  

and. . . we have no right to contend

but if you have the means to spend

let Christ be as the pleasing end 

I Will Go Home (tribute to Fallen 44)

I will go home now, my dear

After a day of sweat and fear

After a day of fatigue and hunger

After a deafening noise of blasts and flare                  

I will go home and rest, my dear

I will be home soon, honey

After a day of precious journey

A journey to unfamiliar territory

For it is part of my sworn duty

To protect you and our country

I will go home now, mother

Knowing that I have done my share

In ensuring that everyone out there

Would be out from any harm or fear

I will go home but can't hug you, mother

I will go home now, my children

Not to answer your questions of when

Of when are we going to play again

Or safely stroll every now and then

I’ll be home to be with you, my children

                                              

I will be home to be with you, Father

For I have nothing more to render

The end of my journey is now near

Near until I’ll be by your side, Father

I’ll be home to be with you, forever.

Happy Life

Music to the ears, the sweet words to hear

Saying “I wanna grow old with you”

How to fulfill, could it be true

So easy to speak, yet, not easy to do

A thorny road, a windy path

A narrow-mind, a jealous heart

Petty quarrels sometimes the start

Words are easy but deeds are faint

Not as easy as the dream you paint

When the mouth speaks, actions should present

Love is the key and not some luck

But others say you must have pluck

For love vanishes once hardships struck

It’s not her or him to adjust with you

But the other way around and should be you

It’s not a hoax but a factual view

For if both of you have the same thought

And the complex life you have fought

Not only one will benefit but both

Happy life commence not with I love you

Neither completes with I love you too

Giving and giving in is the right way to do

If Tomorrow Comes

If today, there are things that I do,
And tomorrow you won’t see me doing so,
Do not wonder nor perceive any fear,
For sometimes there are systems we need to alter.

If tomorrow you won’t see me smiling,
Don’t ever think that I’m sad.
If tomorrow you won’t hear me laughing,
Don’t ever think that I’m mad.

If tomorrow you would see me frowning,
Perhaps there is something in my mind.
If tomorrow you would see me departing,
Don’t ever think that I’m leaving you behind.

I may be gone tomorrow but fleeting,
And meet you again in the right place and time.
When tomorrow becomes yesterday parting,
We’ll look forward to a new season and clime.

If the new season becomes our today,
Perhaps, ‘tis the time that I longed and pray.
But, if I could only restrain the moving time,
I will rend tomorrow’s leaf so it won’t come.

Sometimes... Heart prevails (re-post)

Sometimes in our life there’s an instance,

that we were given a chance.
To choose the road to take and walk on,
and decide on things that come along.

Sometimes, as we walk along the road,
we meet someone we can’t avoid.
That no matter how we try to evade,
the heart will always take the lead.

Sometimes, we try to fight it out,
to overcome the things we doubt.
But no matter how strong we are,
the heart prevails in this war.

The battle between the heart and the mind,
is a war so hard to beat and bind.
For when feelings is at stake,
only the heart will reign and direct.

Sometimes, no matter how a thing is wrong,
the heart sees nothing but beauty alone.
And whatever the world will comment,
the heart will follow what is meant.

The bottom-line now is to face the reality,
to follow what your emotions say.
But never sacrifice what makes you happy,
At the end of the day your decisions stay.

All About Heart

A poem about heart

Words from the heart

Posted everywhere

Scattered everywhere…

But sometimes hard to understand

A heart that smiles

A heart that bleeds

A heart that weeps

A heart to keep…

Only a lover could understand

A song from the heart

With love and harmony

A melody that soothe

A symphony for both…

Music that keeps lovers bind

Love is for the heart

And for those ready to be hurt

Love is not all a heart’s gain

So think likely about pain…

The vagueness of love that drifts around 

In a Trance

In the silence of the night, I hear...

the gentle steps that are coming near.

My heart beats faster as I waited...

for the familiar voice to be heard.

Seconds count, a minute, then an hour...

waited ‘til my spittle comes to sour.

I rushed and opened the timid door...

and saw none but footprints on the floor.

I come after the footprints and search...

saw a man, on a bench he perched.

I look around hoping to see you...

and the man told me where you went to.

Then, I realized I’m in a trance...

and from the corner I see your glance.

You’re in a frame with a simple smile…

darling, you’re gone… not just for a while.

A Strong Heart

As dark as the clouds in the sky, telling

that a heavy rain is about to fall;

a poignant heart is about to burst

and tears would fall while looking at

the shadow fading, swallowed by the dark.

As vague as an object standing

from a distance, of a pale color,

unknown to the viewer; a stranger?

a feeling inside quite hard to explain;

love or hatred? Trying to decipher,

but now and again it exists and contend.

As searing as the heat of the sun in

a summer-sky; the intense heat that 

withers and annihilates the green fields

and the flowers, and thirsting the birds;

a heart that was warm and loving

which becomes weary, now refrains from

sobbing, piling-up some strength.

As odorous as the fragrance of the flowers

that blossom in the month of May;

a new love blooms that gradually

brings a smile to a worn out heart.

As calm as the tranquil sea after

the storm had passed, with the seagulls  

flying or resting upon the peaceful water;

a soul that used to battle against

life and love’s hostilities, now

more composed and vexes no more.

As happy as a child that plays around,

so carefree and frets not of any peril,

for there’s a hand who will catch and

pamper, and caress the battered flesh;

a woman who weathered the storm

of infidelity, now stands strong and

positive, for now there’s a shoulder

to lean on, stronger than before. 

Love sometimes is full of complexities,

at times down and battered, but

a strong heart survives nevertheless.

I hope it's gone

There comes a time that I feel like stopping

In watching the stars in the grayish sky

For it appears that they have stopped twinkling

And they no longer smile but rather cry

I wonder if it’s because I’m mourning

And everything I see is black and blue

I wonder if it’s because my heart weeps

And beauty was no longer in my view

I mourn, I weep, tears falling on my face

Stars falling like fireworks in New Year’s Eve

The full moon’s bright but shadows hiding me

Hiding my heart which smiles no more but grieve

In the morning when the sun starts to peep

It does not shine but I see it frowning

It startled me and so I blink my eyes

Only to realize I was not dreaming

Perhaps the sun condoles with what I feel

Or marvels about my disposition

I wish to answer but none can be grasped

For my heart quivers and finds no reason

Tomorrow, I wish that my mourning’s gone

And I hope my tears will stop falling down

So shadows won’t hide me from full moon’s bright

And the sun will shine and no longer frown

Be My Wife

There will never be someone

who could replace you my dear

for I can’t find anymore

someone who’s very sincere.

Someone like you who’s simple

and whose love is so ardor

for you are far beyond compare

and only you that I adore.

If there are times that you hear

saying my love is not true

please don’t take it in your heart

for they’re just envious of you.

Today, I say it to you

that I will never depart

tomorrow I’ll say again

forever, you’re in my heart.

I felt that I am so blessed

for having you in my life

so blessed that I now promise

I want you to be my wife.

I Let You Go

Felt a little ennui

As I waited for the midnight hour

Then I heard the footsteps

Drawing near towards the door

I heard no word but a sigh

Which a weary sign of goodbye

Then the sky beams

With the fireworks cracking

Painting the grayish sky

As the midnight-clock rings

It’s a new beginning

And I heard the door snapped

It may not so loud

To contend with the outside cracks

But to me who is in woe

It was a deafening sound

I gazed at the stifled door

And the shoeprints on the floor

Thinking to follow you

But, I never did

And so. . . I let you go

I let you go

I let you go

Leaving my heart in blue

But in melancholy I’d rather be

So your heart would be in glee

Trust Me

So many times you’ve asked me

If how much I care for you

So many times I answered

More than anyone else can do

The question you asked to me

Seems to bother me my dear

For it appears that in your heart

There is uncertainty and fear

I feel your lack of trust

And fear that I’ll leave you

For your action speaks of your thought

Even if you won’t say it so

I want to tell you to relax

And have peace within your heart

Don’t get upset with useless thought

For we will never be apart

I will not run away from you

Nor I will hurt you my dear

And to give tears in your eyes

Is what I will do never

Wishful Thinking

At the flourishing tree, I stare
blankly,

While imagining your face that looks

so lovely,

As the wind blows its leaves

gently,

My memory runs back to

yesterday,

When we dreamed to be together

‘til eternity,

The glorious days that we shared

happily,

Those times when you and I walk

unreservedly,

Passing through the bumpy road

so bravely,

And sailing on a tamer sea

so smoothly.

Then, I questioned God when you

left me,

Why you had to depart from me

too early?

Leaving me in this world being

so lonely,

Now, what I have is just your

memory,

And a picture in a frame smiling

at me.

Darling, I long that you’ll return

one day,

A wishful thinking that will

never be,

For you are now in the arms of

The Almighty.

When She Passes by

I gaze behind the curtain

Draping at the windowpane

The rain is falling outside

And I see a woman standing at the roadside

As she moves, I watch her carefully

As she impatiently waits for a taxi

She waves at every PUV that pass

For half an hour one had stopped at last

Suddenly, I felt the loneliness

And to hold her was what I wished

But all I can do was to watched her

As she hops in and commanded the driver

The taxi moves from slow to fast

Until it was gone from my sight

Then I look again at the curtain

As it gently swayed by the wind

The rain had stopped falling

And so I went back to thinking

Dreaming that at this time tomorrow

She’ll pass again to ease my sorrow
