FOR DEAR SAM

He truly makes me smile
Like the eagle flying high up in the sky
I look up to him with my eyes so wide
He shows the boy in him and for that I’m glad

He never fails to amaze me
When he talks about life and love with all sincerity
As I hear him talking, my heart beats so fast
I know from my heart a spell has been cast

He can make me cry
When times get rough and down and he would say Hi
Like my knight on his faded jeans he would rescue me
I can't blame the guy who only wants me happy

He is my dear Sam
Coz even on my silent, he always understand
He goes with my mood swings every now and then
And even I’m away he will always be my friend

HELLO DEAR LOVER

There he is! Oh, how can I forget his very face?
The face that for all these years I truly missed
A familiar thud in my heart I can't deny
As I fight back the tears that start to fall from my eyes

Those eyes, now staring at me across the room
Of longing and pain, of love I can't fathom
Wish that the earth beneath me open up
And swallow my whole being just like a flop

The voice that once makes my heart skip a beat
Is the same voice I'm hearing now, I just want to faint
After all these years, I thought I have moved on
But why this simple meeting makes my life in full turn?

I give a deep sigh gathering all the courage I have
I have to face the man I once promised to love
I know I can't just avoid you forever
So be prepared for me: hello my dear lover

CONTENTMENT

Ten years from now as I lie on my bed
My dear daughter would come up to me and said
Mommy, mommy will you tell me a story
The love story you had before you met my daddy

Then I would cuddle her in my arms as I smile
And I’ll close my eyes as my mind flew back in time
That boy, my child, is the first love I once had
I love him and he loves me until the time we depart

She would ask me then with eyes full of curiosity
If he is your first love, then you never loved daddy
Before I could answer, daddy will enter the room
He would kiss me on my lips like we we’re on a honeymoon

He would reach for my hand so he could give me a squeeze
Our baby will call our attention with that question on her face
Baby, I will always be grateful for that man, I would say
We may have a past but in my heart he will not stay

Those heartbreaks I had were God’s own little ways
Coz He already prepared me for the love I truly deserve
With my arms around him, I would look into his eyes
Your daddy is my present and my future and that couldn’t be denied.

unfinished

I kiss his tears each time he starts to cry
And when he sobs, I give in to a deep sigh
Seeing him so down, feeling his own fear
I can’t just take it….it breaks my heart, dear

I keep in my mind the memory of his smile
So his thought won’t leave me even for just a while
The way his cheeks turn red, and as his eyes dance
I wanna freeze every moment, Oh heavens, I’m in a trance

I can hear angels sing when he laughs so loud
My heart knows where he is even in midst of a crowd
And each time I close my eyes, I can see his face
Saying those words of love, my life is in bliss

If only I could keep him here in my heart
So I can protect him from pain and from all those who depart

MY DANDELION

she reminds me of a dandelion, standing so tall
white as the snow, soft as the cotton ball
dancing in the rays of the sun
sharing joy and happiness to everyone

and as the wind blows from the east
i'll chase you my friend and would never rest
until i catch that smile in your eyes
coz life's beauty is where our friendship lies

dance, my dandelion, keep on dancing in the air
don't be afraid to fall, i promise i'll be there
and on this beautiful day, to the Lord i pray
may your happiness and beauty last long till eternity

MEET ME IN MY DREAMS, SIR

Meet me in my dreams tonight sir
When everyone is asleep so they wouldn't care
I'm dying to hear you call my name
Coz i know that would be the sweetest thing i hear

Smile at me in my dreams tonight
As i imagine that smile to my heart's delight
The flowers will bloom, the trees will dance
Each time I catch you smiling in a secret glance

Come near me sir and hold my hand
Is this a dream coz i don't understand
This hand of urs so warm against mine
It speaks of a promise ready to face the time

This dream will end in no time soon
And this moment will surely last in my imagination
But hear my request, please always be here
Meet me in my dreams every night, sir

NOT AN ORDINARY LOVE SONG

Every time I heard that song on a radio
I can’t help myself remembering you
It seems like a déjà vu
The odd thing is I really feel blue


The memories of ours lingers on my mind
Surely, pain doesn’t easily heal through time
At night, it is still haunting me like a ghost
Why is it hurting to lose the one you love most?


If you really love me, why must you go?
No one makes me feel so loved just the way you do
You’ve been my paragon of strength & love
You’re all that I want, all that I have


Now you’re gone life isn’t that easy
I must learn to survive each night and day
Just like that song on the radio
Our story has ended I must let you go.

HOME

I want to hear that old song again
The song that dad used to sing to me back then
Back when I was young and the world for me was small
When the flowers were blooming and the trees were tall

Let me hear that melody my heart used to know
As mom would caress my hair all night through
She would whisper those lines to my ear so gentle
If only I can freeze that moment, the memory so valuable

Chattering of my sisters, all my brothers’ laughter
All like a music that keeps on playing to my ear
Let me cry, let me smile let me dream like this
Let me dream of the home I truly missed


Coz despite the fame, and all my acquired success
I will stand up again and pick up all the pieces
So even for just a moment please play that song
Coz I intend to take that long road back home

MHEY

My life changed when you walk through that door
We instantly make a hit that I couldn't ask for more
From then on, my life is much easier
Coz I have a friend, one who is always there

Happiness and sadness they come to our lives
No matter how we play, those tears we despise
But as long as I have you friend
There's no mountain I cannot bend

Everything is in constant change in this world
But I fear nothing coz I have someone to hold
I may smile, I may laugh, I may fall and cry
But I know this friendship will stay till I die

Your friendship is always a treasure
That showered life with a different color
May God give you everything you need
Coz you deserve that best, my dear loving friend

DON'T MAKE ME FALL

Don’t let him take me home every night

He will asked me if I’m cold so he can hold me tight

But I want to be in your arms as we watch the sky above

As we gaze at the stars, whispering words of love

Don’t let him hug me whenever I’m in pain

When I lose all my hopes and that darkness came

It’s in your shoulders I wish to cry and sing a song

With you by my side I know where I belong

Don’t let him make me smile with his silly joke

I’d rather to be with you all night and talk

He can make my lips smile, yes he can

But my heart always laughs whenever you’re around

Don’t make me fall in love with him

Coz my heart will never follow to your orders so lame

My heart’s desire will always be my place in the sun

In your arms, in your heart, you are my chosen one.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

The cold wind of the east

Is blowing my hair from my face

Cheerful smiles from the lil’ children

As they run to the water for a swim

I don’t mind the sun burning on my skin

As I stroll along the shore with a smile on my lips

I put off my sandals and feel my feet sink on the sand

Simple joy like this I should’ve experienced beforehand

I looked up and saw a man walking towards my direction

His eyes are beaming with youthfulness and anticipation

As he walks passed of me, I almost took my breath

He smells like dew, he makes my heart melts?

I close my eyes to cherish that so called magic

When he called my name, my heart almost in frantic

With apprehension I looked back and saw him waving

“I’m gonna call you dear before the end of this evening”

Questions are written all over my face

“Don’t worry about anything dear, I have ways for this”

I shook my head and give him a smile

Then I started walking again after saying good bye

As I stepped on the cottage, a paper I noticed

Shock came to me as I stare on my own face

Then I remember the man who promise to call me this evening

coz below my pic he wrote, ‘this is just the beginning’

SOUL IN THE NIGHT

The cold night wind is blowing on your face

As if, I myself planted that soft kiss

I know your mind is so far a way

Hoping that somewhere else, you’re dreaming of me

I can see your face from the dim moonlight

And I want to hold you in my arms so tight

I just have to content myself looking at you

That’s all I can do just before I go

Sleep tight my little on, dream of me

Later you’ll accept these things, you’ll see

Always remember that even if I leave you

I love you with all my heart and soul, yes I do

You will never see me again, my love

So treasure all the memories that we had

My voice cannot be heard by your ears anymore

But this soul of mine in the sky will soar

I will tell the morning wind to give you a kiss

And pray to the angels to keep your day in bliss

My dear, wait for me at night I may come

Just to be in your arms even in your dream

My life is short but full of meaning

You are the song of my song when you came in

I will long for those moments that we shared

By the thought of leaving you, my heart in tears

Its time to leave, my love, accept my apology

I’m sorry if I have to leave you this way

Pursue the dreams that we have started

And I will keep your day and night well-guarded

Don’t weep, my bundle of joy, for my sudden death

Trust in the Lord because it is our fate

I love you and you know it right from the start

I may leave this world but I will stay in your heart

F - R - I - E - N - D

Friends…….a sweet word that brings a smile

On everyone’s lips with thoughts so worthwhile

And each time I recall the friends I have in mind

Friends speak of the commitment that we’ll grow old in time

Reminiscing memories of yester years

Of joyous laughter and of painful tears

We sometimes eat ice cream while playing in the rain

As I wipe those tears falling when you are pain

I will be there before you even call my name

Holding your hand when you lost in life’s game

Trials may come to our lives but we will fear not

Coz we have each other and we’ll make a big shot

Enjoy in each other’s company that’s how it’s meant to be

From our younger years till our hairs turn to gray

Together we will dream, and stand up each time we fall

Coz success will just be a grasp once we conquer them all

Never lose a faith for the friendship that I offer

Distance may come between us but I will always be there

To hold you when you’re down, here to understand

I will cry with you when things come out of hand

Dear friend, our friendship lives forever in my heart

And we both saw it coming right from the very start

This thing we are sharing is wonderful and true

With you by my side I will never ever feel blue

MEMORABILIA

Things between us will never be the same again

Since you walk to that door and let me cry in pain

You have your life ahead and I have mine

That’s what you said to me, you broke my heart

Tonight, I’m gonna cry a bucket for you

And read again your letters all night through

I’m gonna scan our pictures again and again

And ask myself: how could this happen?

I’m gonna put them in a box and lock them forever

The right thing to do before my heart grows bitter

I expect to spend sleepless nights ahead of me

Till then, I would wipe my tears and accept the reality

I would meet men….hundreds of men better than you

Hope one of them would fix my heart in blue

But if in time I accept his love I pray that it’s true

Before anything else I have something to do

The box I kept with your memories I will then open

Read your letters and scan our pictures now with no pain

Surely memories of one’s love is hard to forget

But they will remain as memories so I keep them in the cabinet

Now I have to face my newfound love

So I bring in another box that I have

Hope I will not lock this box like the other

Coz that would mean that this new love is my forever

MEMORY

The sky started to darken as I fold your last letter

Years already passed but I’m still a loner

I keep asking why things went the wrong way

When I know that I loved you and you loved me

I can’t help but sigh as the cold wind blows

That’s all I can do to somehow ease my sorrows

My heart embraced the loneliness and my tears went dry

I blame myself for the battle I never tried to fight

When the rain started to fall I went to the window

I looked up to the sky as if I can see you

Until now I still regret to lost the chance given to me

The only chance to be with you till eternity

I close the window as if closing the ghost of the past

But I know for myself that to forget you is a must

These tears in my eyes won’t bring you back to me

One thing will be left between you and me…that’s our memory.

MY TREASURE

If I have a power, I’m gonna be a sun

The burning sun that will always be there to shine

For you and for all the days of your life

Be at your side in facing hardship and strife

When you feel all alone, I’m gonna be a wind

I’ll blow all your worries to nowhere I send

To freshen your day like a sweet gentle breeze

And make you have a smile until your problem disappears

Let me be the star that you keep on staring

All through the night when you don’t feel like sleeping

The shining star that will serve as your only hope

To conquer your dreams and win the battles you fought

A light of love, that’s what I will

For you, my dear, and catch you to a spell

I’ll live in your heart in my own little way

Coz I love to be with you all night and day

In whatever you do, I’m gonna be your shadow

Through good times and bad, I will stick to you

Wherever I am, no matter what happen

I assure you that my love will always stay the same

But I’m not what I wish to be

So let’s stop dreaming and face the reality

I’m not a sun, a wind and never will be a star

A light of love or a shadow to guide you from afar

Because I’m just a person who loves you a lot

And thanking you for conquering my heart

So come and feel my love, unconditional and pure

Then I’ll keep you in my heart, for you are my treasure

MY AVID FAN - - - - - - -- for my dad

For all these years, you are the only man

Whom I consider my avid fan

Who never leaves me in the midst of my grief

And takes all my sadness just like a thief

You’ve been my paragon of strengths and principles

And the pride to face unashamedly other people

You are the wings that carry me up high

Because you really believe that I belong to the sky

You are the sturdy wall that I always lean on

And encourages me to run when I think I can’t move on

I really thank God for having you as my father

Coz here in my heart I will cherish you forever

I, eternally thank you with all my heart

Because in my failure and success you never depart

And whatever circumstances to my life may come

I will fear not, I have you, my avid fan

MOMENT

Freeze this very moment as you stand there

I’ll run to your arms and tell you how much I care

Wrap me in your arms keep me safe from harm

Whisper those words of love…so gentle so warm

I wouldn’t know if a moment is enough

For you for me I think it will be rough

Flowers will bloom…all things will be bright

For that one moment when you are in my sight

Kiss me now…kiss me like there’s no tomorrow

Take me to the sky coz I belong to you

Don’t look back to the things you once care

Look into my eyes….i promise you forever

Let me love you with all the feelings I keep

With you in my mind I can smile on my sleep

If this moment will be our last one together

I want to keep it in my heart till life is over

LIFE’S INCOMPLETE

My body is falling straight down to bed

It’s 3 in the morning but I cannot sleep

Every part of my body is screaming for some rest

I’m pretty tired but my mind still in a mess

I still think of her no matter how I try

My heart is craving for her that all I can do is sigh

This hidden feeling I have grows more and more each day

But I know for myself, I can’t give the love she deserves

I’m stuck my love in my dream when I was a kid

Never thought that you are the only one I need

For my happiness, for my life for everything that I am

Giving up for our love, I’ll be forever damn

But life is not always a happy ending my dear

It’s not lying on the bed of roses for all we care

Don’t cry for the love that we are about to lose

Coz it’s hurting deep inside me, if only I can choose

For this path I’m taking I might attain success

But I’ll forever longing for your hug and kiss

I wearily close my eyes and try hard to be asleep

I can only love you in my dream but in truth…my life’s incomplete.

Poetry in Conversation

GIRL: Your lips are smiling but never your eyes

I know not to ask you coz you’ll just tell a lie

All I can do is look away and give a sigh

You still want that girl, you just can’t deny

BOY: Look into my eyes, can you see it glow?

Never my dear, but heart always do

If you think I still crave for the girl I used to know

I never mind her now that I have you

GIRL: I know you can hear the stories I tell

But you’re not listening you still miss that girl

The girl who broke your loving heart

Who left but never loved you from the start

BOY: Don’t think that I don’t listen to every word you said

Coz I keep them in my heart on that area she failed

Every word, every story I think of them each night

Savoring every moment as if I’m holding you tight

GIRL: Sometimes, I’m thinking of leaving you

So that you would miss me like the way you do

It pains my heart when you still crave for her

When I’m always here for you coz I really care

BOY: Don’t leave little one, stay here beside me

Envy her not coz it’s not your personality

She is now a past, just another person

When I can feel you here, you are my emotion

GIRL: Wish someday I could be the sole reason

Of that smile in your eyes…of your passion

That you will listen to every word I tell

Could you blame me if I wish I was that girl?

BOY: That wish of yours won’t happen someday

Coz we’re starting today, will you accept me?

Believe me dear one, believe the words I tell

Stop wishing coz you’re different from that girl

KISS IN THE SKY

Moon….stars…..shine so bright

Send this kiss to my heart’s delight

May he think of me on this pale moonlight?

Coz I imagine myself in his arms so tight

Is he seeing what I’m seeing tonight dear love?

On that part of his world, is he looking above?

Will his lips give smile for the stars that shine?

Will his heart jumps if I told him his mine?

Is he feeling cold with this tender breeze?

If only he can hold me now, my life in a bliss

The night still young and all I can do is sigh

When can I see myself in his very eyes?

Sky so wide…night so dark

Kiss my dear one….kiss him like a spark

Now I’m ready to fall into sleep

With a smile in my heart, my night is complete

NEVER YOU AND ME

There she is….sleeping like a child

Expressions so soft, so gentle, so mild

A glimpse of tears in her eyes caught my attention

I still hurt the girl I love I’m back to desperation

And here I am, sipping my second coffee

Trying to make some sense before I give away

Before I run to her and cuddle her in my arms

Before I lose my mind and give in to her charms

I love her truly…yes I do

But I can’t have her, my mind tells me so

If only love can free me to this wall around me

Then this love of ours will take us to eternity

But we can’t live forever in a dream like this

It’s breaking my heart, your lips I’ll surely miss

Who will hold you tight when you feel so down?

Who will make me smile when I wanted to frown?

I wish to wake up every morning with you by my side

Spending each night together under the moon so bright

But all this things will just a fantasy

Coz in reality there will never be you and me
