Saying 'I Love You' this very night...

Letting you die in my own arms,

so unfair, wants to slice my hands..

Finally, without nothing to say,

'Los Siento' Princess, I'll die today...

Love Story

We've met two years ago,

in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

At first, I was hesitant to get to know you, then lately, I realize, I smile because of you.

We've exchanged numbers, texting each other, Getting to know you, knowing me and so on and so forth.

Weeks later, the feelings getting high, loving you is different, I don't know how it all started but I don't know how to court you.

I used my singing talent to let you know what I truly feel.

Suddenly, you set things straight and told me how you feel.

Yeah, it was two years ago when you say the words 'I love you' to me, You don't know how lucky and happy I am when I heard those words from you.

Though we have some misunderstandings and we're alike in many different ways,

I never change, you never leave me, I just love you each and everyday.

We're just like best friends that no one can ever separate.

You and me, together, I will always be here forever, that's one thing I would like to dedicate.

Your eyes and your smile, your care, and your love, your understanding and honesty, those I prayed from God above.

Lastly, I am yours and you are mine,

Forever and forevermore, your love that I will keep inside…

Loving You

Why is it I can't understand,

this feeling that I have inside?

Infatuated in my thoughts, my mind.

Trapped by the truth without my own guide…

Why do I have to feel this way?

Seems normal, sometimes abnormal..

I can't even sleep, you ask me why?

You're in my thoughts, I think I will fall…

I keep this hidden for long time.

Your eyes, your face, even your smile..

Captured my heart, waiting to be mine, Saying "Hi" to you even awhile…

Watching the stars fall from the sky,

Knowing I have feelings for you..

I'm hurting myself, I don't know why?

My own heart speaks, "I felt that way too"…

Second chances knocks at my door.

Waiting to be open so soon..

Keys to unlock, love now to enter.

Remembering the day love was gone…

My family wants to stop this.

Don't fall in love or you're burden.

Do they think I'm answering a quiz?

To choose the odd or ignore even…

Wished they knew how much "I Love You".

Taking courage to say "I do"..

Respect you without further ado,

and loving you more than I used to…

This time, I have to end this mess.

I will choose you to be my own…

But, it doesn't mean I'm now hopeless.

Whatever my answer is, I won…

Memories

Something I will never forget, something I should have been forgotten…

Something that cannot be undone,

Something that can never be erased or rewound…

A nightmare to others,

But an encouragement to those who hurt, to move on..

A thing called happiness,

Or a thing called sorrow…

What matters most,

Memories still inspire us to continue, to inspire, and forgive others…

Missing You

You don't know how happy I am,

When I first saw you.

You cradled me in your arms,

And said the words I love you.

The day I took my first walk,

I saw the happiness in your face,

You guided me how to walk,

And caught me everytime I fell.

You never stop caring,

You never stop watching me,

You never stop hugging me,

We are so close and never ever leave me.

But those memories shuttered suddenly.

You've changed and leave me hanging so badly.

I don't know why all of a sudden,

I felt something in your hand, that burden is what you carried then.

I miss our laughter,

I miss our closeness,

I miss your concern,

I miss every inch of your love, of being you to me.

I don't know how to ease your pain,

I don't know how to make you smile,

I don't know how to take away your sorrow, What I only know is to hug you with all my might.

Years, and years, and years, gone so fast, If I can remember our closeness totally back, But a sudden disappointment,

Was just a blast!

You died without my loving arms,

You died without seeing me,

You died without telling me that you missed me And what is more painful?

www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 56

You died without saying the words, "I love you to me"!

I was shocked at the news,

I burst out into tears,

I cried for you every night,

Even in my dreams, I want to hold you tight!

I am sorry I was not there,

I am sorry you missed me,

I am sorry you have't seen me,

I am sorry because you never stopped loving me.

It is five years without your existence, It is five years without your hugs and kisses, It is five years of losing you,

It is five years of missing you!

Misunderstood

I was having a talk

to someone I knew

when all of a sudden

you came in and misunderstood.

You look so shock.

Surprised by what you see,

we were so sweet smiling each other,

then you slap me, again, you misunderstood.

How foolish you are,

doing such things without any manner?

She is not my other woman,

She was just my cousin, you just misunderstood.

Misunderstanding all the things you were seeing, Jealousy is what you are feeling,

How can I choose her if I already choose you?

Please don't ever misunderstood,

The feelings I have for you,

The relationship we had saved for years, www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 58

Of just a simple scene you are not clearly misunderstood.

Moving On

If we fail, we did not stop until we passed…

If we stumble and fall, we never backed down, we stand and continue…

If we feel rejected, we never stop hunting until someone will recognize our worth…

If we are haunted by our past, we never let ourselves to vanish but we fought for it to go away…

If we hurt, we just don't sit and relax, we always say the words 'move on'…

In every failure, there are hopes that we can passed.

Every time we fall, we stand and goes on.

Whenever we rejected, we look for something better and try again.

We fought for loneliness and never get discouraged.

Lastly, whenever we get hurt because of love, we never say never, but encourage ourselves to move on…

My Love, My Beloved

Man:

As I lay on my bed and began to close my eyes, I saw your smiling faces beaming across the miles.

Your eyes glancing at me beneath the starry, starry night, and your kissable lips, kissing me on the night so bright.

Woman:

While staring at the moon and the stars in my window, A similar looks that gazed at me like your own shadow.

Your expressive eyes winks at me like no one saw you, and your sweet tender lips that I always adore at you.

Man:

You captured my heart, my soul, and my mind.

You erase my sorrow, my grief, and my pain.

You make me stronger to face my greatest fears, And give me a second chance to live again.

Woman:

When I am alone, you are their beside me.

When I am afraid, you are their to encourage me.

When everything was lost for me, you are there to hug me.

My beloved, you are the only one I love that no one would envy.

Man:

My only wish from the skies Above,

That you, My Love, will forever be my True Love, I will do anything to make this love to last, That even Death can neither separate us!

Woman:

I won't give up on you, that's one thing I promise.

I will care and support you even if everything will perish.

You will always be My Beloved, a lifetime achievement, Loving you Eternity, to you, I am forever committed!

Nature Speaks

The birds chirping,

The lions roaring.

The flowers blooming,

nature speaks of happiness!

The sunlight saying ‘Hi',

The moonlight saying ‘Goodnight',

The coldness of air hugging me tight,

nature speaks of love!

The waves rising,

The clouds crying,

Rains won't stop falling,

nature speaks broken-hearted!

The twigs of the trees began waving,

The leaves began falling,

It's branches began swaying,

nature speaks of caring!

Never Give Up

In this fast changing world,

Where changes are the only constant,

Where humans fight for humans,

Where politics governed the entire being, Where poor were ridiculed and humiliated, Where rich were being praised and gain worthiness, Where teenagers become mother and father at an early age, Where little children forces to work at a very young age, Where science continues to discover medicines to cure our sickness, Where love nowadays are forgotten,

Where trust became betrayals,

Where honesty becomes disloyalty,

Where blood flows on the ground cryng for justice, Where injustice continues to prevail,

Are we going to give up?

Or find ways to cope up all our despair?

Papa

Since the day you left,

I thought I will easily forget.

How our life once became happy,

until you finally end your own agony.

You never saw your daughter born,

you never even seen us mourn.

How your beloved wife cried,

because you left us; all tears were needed to be wiped.

I was the eldest and your only son,

and responsibility was given to me all at once.

Taking care of them with pain and sorrow, staying strong as task continue to grow.

My life turned upside down,

with heaviness, overloading tons of works were given, just to prove, helping my family and siblings, things that were worth accomplishing and pursuing.

Loaded with perserverance and hopes you have given, I managed to sweep all trashes, stones, and things forsaken, Even fears, criticisms, bullying, and even words that were mouth-watering, A not-so important things to avoid me as a human being.

I was supposed to give up because of humuliation, but like what you have said, 'giving up is only for weak person'.

I changed my outlook in life and began thinking positive things, accept criticisms and ignore bad things other people were saying.

How I missed your jokes Papa,

but we know your happy and proud,

We never let discouragement pull us down says Mama, www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 65

we just raise our head up high and whispering your name from Above!

Sketch

I sat on the beach,

looking at the calm waves,

and feel the coldness of the breeze.

Together with my sketch pad,

I began sketching your face,

Imagining your beautiful smile that captures every inch of me.

My hands were very eager to draw,

the memories I had with you even during my sorrow, it's the only thing I know so as to remember you.

Every strokes I painted,

Every color I have chosen,

resembles your own beauty that was rare taken.

You are my only inspiration,

The love I will never forgotten,

The only one I will forever be painted, until we meet again!

Smile

Such a lovely day,

when people smile at you,

a feeling so true and makes you feel alive.

Man or woman, children alike,

cute little faces beaming and they do not hide, just give them a smile, and you will be surprise.

It will be a gift of love and inspiration, a smile that never cost a penny to get such attention, lifetime pursuit beyond our imagination.

Life is indeed wonderful, full of joys, full of love and determination never once a decoy, but a truthful encounter just like a little boy.

Each of us has no reason not to smile, but majority of us never fake a smile

A smile is effective and even last for a lifetime.

Always SMILE!

Songs

A short poem, a set of words,

set to music, meant to be sung,

by a powerful voice, a talent to unfold, that captures many hearts of human beings.

S ilently I listen,

about a song I heard very often.

O ut of nowhere, I began to sing,

unleashing my skills, once was told that I am dreaming.

N ever did I realized that letters were form into lyrics, and lyrics turned into a beautiful tune, full of love and emotions.

G od never fails us to show His love and affection, that's why songs were created to give thanks to His undying motivation.

S ongs sung and sing by many, little children, young and old, either out of tune or with a golden voice, they also tells a stories that was never told.

Sunset at the Bay

As I watch the sunset at the bay;

I saw;

Children's playing,

Families gathering together,

Lovers kissing,

Other's were stalking.

But most of all, I saw all of them smiling seriously, amazed at watching the beautiful sunset at the bay!

Temptation

I wanna kiss you,

I wanna hug you,

I wanna make love to you.

I wanna say I Love You.

I want you to hear my heartbeat,

I want you to taste my kissable lips,

I want you to feel my warm embrace,

I want you and me to become one.

I wanna see your lovely eyes,

I wanna smell your scented perfume,

I wanna pinch your pointed nose,

I wanna be with you each and everyday.

Whenever I say those words,

I keep controlling my emotions,

I keep on thinking temptations,

I just can't resist when I am with you.

The Admiration

Dear, I have something to tell you.

It's about the day meeting you.

We were talking, sharing our own thoughts.

It's a thing that no one can be bought...

I even tell you how I feel,

and even want to make it real.

Days, months and years suddenly pass by.

I thought of you every single day...

I know I don't have the courage.

Sometimes, I even ask a bridge.

Helping me to speak my own feelings.

Afraid to lose you, tested my being...

Whew, I feel like I'm now freezing.

Slowly, sweat continue falling.

I'm tongue-tied when you're in front of me.

You hypnotized me, how can that be?

Is this something infatuated?

or am I eliminated?

Why is it I haven't notice this?

I was being cheated, tell me please...

You broke my heart and now leave me.

Wounded not by a cup of tea;

But by your own selfishness and pride.

I have nothing more to say or hide...

Time, why did you not stand by me?

I've waited so long, can't you see?

Love, why did you cheated and trick me?

www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 72

I wanted you, you won't let it be?

I'm burning midnight candles now,

and still longing for you somehow.

How I wish it will end up like this..

My heart says, loving you seems endless...

The Heat is On

I can feel the water from the oceans rising, I can feel the fire from the volcanoes slowly erupting, I can feel the hurricane slowly twirling, I can feel the heat of the sun totally burning.

I can feel the temperature on my body slowly rising.

I am mad at someone, totally mad!

I can't control my emotions, the heat is on me!

The Past

It all started when my mother left me, I started to feel empty.

Days passed by, weeks slowly fading

months began hating me emotionally.

Years and even decades swept suddenly, My mind said to stop this agony.

I started to go, locked myself alone in my room, tears began to fall and saw flowers outside stop to bloom.

I know it was too painful but it keeps coming back, from dreams it turns into nightmares, wished they can talk.

But they're not, they're haunting me each and every night, they want my precious tears to fall, to cry losing my sight.

Despite all those hardships, I managed to be with myself, exploring different things, nurturing my talents, reading a lot of books in my shelves.

I grow up to be a good boy, a good man, reducing anxieties, stress, and pain.

Years later, I became happy and lively, Tears faded, smiles always came out easily.

It took me years to ponder,

then realized what I've missed and wonder.

Though, I haven't seen my real mother and lost my father, I still have people left of me, my stepmom and step siblings who stood up for me to remember.
