grandpa's flight to heaven
Sunday, March 7, 2010 1:52:00 AM
Okay. So I'm here. Just a reminder. Guys, when you post your poems here, use
BLOCK QUOTE. It's located right above the text box when you're composing your post. Its symbol is the quotation mark ("). Check it out when you update this blog.
Okay. I'm posting one of my sonnets here.
'Twas a sunny Sunday of June
From the living room, a phone rang
I was listening to another tune
When a new feeling sprang
I heard my godmother's voice
That suddenly broke into sobs
A surprisingly disturbing noise
Caused by the death of someone she loves
I leaned in closer, straining to hear more
And the news reached my curious ears
I found out what the sobs are for
When I saw her crystal-like tears
So I went back to my room and pray,
"Lord, please do not lead his soul astray..."
I started to write this on... well, I don't remember. All I know is that I wrote this a few months after my grandpa died in 2008. After typhoon Ondoy, 6th day of October, I was alone in our house and I was so bored so I grabbed a pen and my old English notebook and I accidentally flipped to the page where I wrote half of this. I ran my eyes down to the last line and decided to finish it. So there. When I went home in Batangas after prom, my sister saw the paper where I wrote it (well, I tore the paper from the binder)and she was awestruck when she read it. She suddenly ran to the stairs when I heard my dad and I heard her
whispering so loudly to my dad about my sonnet., ha ha ha!! I dunno what his reaction was 'cos I was busy playing Plants vs. Zombies. Ha ha. :D I should've turned around to see his face. :/

DEDICATION!
12:53:00 AM
Hey, who's updating this blog? Is it only me? haha.. Now I'm the one who's using this blog... Hey guys, how about updating this blog too? .. XD
I won't post any poems today, just a song that i heard awhile ago. Its an old song.. well not that old i suppose. This song was revived by NiNa and its a cool song actually and the acoustics sounds good.
I dedicate this song to the person I love most.. You know who you are.. :D
I Love You Goodbye
by: NiNa
Wish I could be the one
The one who could give you love
The kind of love you really need
Wish I could say to you
That I'll always stay with you
But baby that's not me
You need someone willing to give their heart and soul to you
Promise you forever, baby that's something I can't do
Oh I could say that I'll be all you need
But that would be a lie
I know I'd only hurt you
I know I'd only make you cry
I'm not the one you're needing
I love you, goodbye
I hope someday you can
Find some way to understand I'm only doing this for you
I don't really wanna go
But deep in my heart I know this is the kindest thing to do
You'll find someone who'll be the one that I could never be
Who'll give you something better
Than the love you'll find with me
Oh I could say that I'll be all you need
But that would be a crime
I know I'd only hurt you
I know I'd only make you cry
I'm not the one you're needing
I love you, goodbye
Leaving someone when you love someone
Is the hardest thing to do
When you love someone as much as I love you
Oh I don't wanna leave you
Baby it tears me up inside
But I'll never be the one you're needing
I love you, goodbye
Baby, its never ganna work out
I love you, goodbye
I just found out that the composer of this song is Celine Dion. NiNa's voice is much better.. ha ha. I tried playing it in my guitar and its sounds so cool. Why won't you try listening to it?
That's all for now...

Bye Bye
Wednesday, March 3, 2010 7:00:00 PM
Hey, its my first ever post in this blog... Actually this is my first ever blog... I never had a blog before. I don't even have my own personal blog... Because I don't have time to create one. But I might create one someday... I don't know..
Hmm.. I don't usually write poems.. Because I suck when it comes to poetry... But I guess its better to write something rather than to write nothing. So here it goes... Some nonsense poetry by me...
Bye Bye
I wanted to show her how I really felt
But nothing happens I'm just so scared
I love you, do you love me?
I'm doing everything for you can't you see?
Loving you is so hard
I need to end this, so goodbye my sweetheart
I don't even know if you would call that a POEM... I'm a disgrace. oh well I suck really bad..
Hmm.. I might post again tomorrow or maybe not. I don't know. Lets see..

raindrops
Wednesday, February 24, 2010 7:33:00 PM
Hiya! Back to blogging! *Wide grin*
I wonder why my blog mates don't update our blog. I mean, maybe they at least sign in or visit this, but why don't they post their poems? I hate being the only one who's so eager here. Anyway, I'm posting one of my favorites. It's called "Raindrops"
I watch the raindrops fall from the sky
I watch them fall and wonder why
They fall and stumble, but what do they get?
Sometimes I wonder if falling is regret
I watch them collapse on the dour ground
There they shatter like crystals around
They fall like the tears of a woman would
Tears that fall and hit the hard wood
As I watch them fall, I suddenly knew
These raindrops are the tears I cried for you
They shouldn't be shed for someone like you
But here they are, running after you.
Okay. Best be off now. :)

"imperfect truth with my PERFECT LIE"
Friday, January 29, 2010 6:38:00 PM
My eyes strolling the mountain sky,
seeing nothing but lies.
He wiped the teardrop in my eye,
smiling at him without fear but a lie.
Butterflies flipping in my stomatch,
with a heart full of luck.
Knew he'll be by my side,
no lies I could ever hide.
A hug that comforts me and my mind,
kiss that make my heart at ease.
this could be a imperfect truth,
with my perfect lil' lie.

Twilight at Escort Street
Monday, January 25, 2010 9:03:00 PM
I was so tired and frustrated after a long day in Subic last Friday but still I managed to write a poem. Haha. :)
As I walked along Escort that night
I tried to pinpoint what boggles my mind
My desperation is up at a certain height
When would this convoluted trip unwind?
The stars watched me from up above
I tried to search their eyes for answers
I'm feeling numb; where is the love?
It got carried away by heart breakers
I'm tired of searching and finding nothing
I stopped on my track and started to cry
The dead night's wintry air got me chilling
I shivered when a firefly flew by
I watched it instead and suddenly thought,
"How come you're here tonight with me?"
Realization hit as the firefly joined a moth
Could happiness be with me?
So I wiped my tears and smiled at the stars
And continued to walk along Escort Street
I'm free of desperation's iron bars
For the sun and moon are about to meet.
Hayyy... For the first time nagkaron ng happy ending ang poem ko. Haha! God. I'm confused. Everything's so complicated. I wish I had given us a chance... :(

The First Rose of Winter's End
8:40:00 PM
Right. I woke up this Sunday, January 24, at around three in the morning and then I couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided to spend my time writing. I came up with this:
Winter is over, now here I sit
Beside the trunk of an old tree
Watching a butterfly skip a beat
While dancing in circles over me
The sun shines shyly today
Half hiding behind the clouds
But still giving warmth to where the buttercups lay
As I try to listen to other sounds
I hear nothing but the quiet air
Giving me perfect tranquility
Nearby sits an old brown hare
Enjoying the sun like me
I look around and thought, "Spring is here,
Generously breathing life to everything."
A gazelle runs after a deer
But I'm still here, deliberating
Something's still missing, I can tell
'Cause I'm feeling not half so happy
The big red rose I've known so well
is nowhere, where could it be?
I stood up and searched for my flower
Starting to lose control, I feel like shattering
Desperation pushes me everywhere
But I'm still finding nothing
Crying in defeat, I fall on my knees
And watched my tears hit the ground
The wind brushed against my face
I wiped my tears and turn around
I stare in awe to what I saw
On the wide field's less gramineous bed
In a space under a dying mistletoe
Lies the first rose of winter's end.
:)

delusions with illusions
Sunday, January 24, 2010 7:48:00 AM
I heard your voice anywhere
I knew it was a delusion
I saw your innocent face
I realized it's just an illusion
I get insane thinking of you
heartaches and heartbreaks
having my heart in to two
tears flow like waters from lake
--DRAFT. :)

across the buttercup field
Saturday, January 23, 2010 4:18:00 PM
I was lying on my stomach on my bed with my eyes shut, thinking of my favorite flower: buttercups. I haven't seen one of those, but they look lovely in pictures. Spending a day in a wide buttercup field with my loved ones is one of my life-long dreams. I love them because of their color, yellow. It makes me think that happiness isn't too far away, always within reach.
So, I was thinking of a buttercup field. I got lost in my imagination. In my mind, I was standing at the end of a buttercup field with my eyes closed, smiling and feeling the heat of the sun on my skin. When I opened them, I suddenly froze on my spot. At the other end of the field, something terrible was happening. A war? I dunno. I got poor eyesight. Everything was red, and bloodlust was evident in the cannibals' eyes; and then people were dying and crying in pain...
I couldn't stand it so I opened my eyes, trying to pull myself back to reality. I realized that I was breathing heavily, almost close to hyperventilation. I put myself in a sitting position and scanned my room for a paper and pen. I found what I was looking for at the south end of my bed. I grabbed those and here's what I wrote:
I open my eyes
And I hear painful cries
Across the buttercup field.
By the grave they yelp
And they scream for help
Across the buttercup field.
The fire of hell flares
And the dark sky glares
Across the buttercup field.
Blood-red tears flooded
But their pain never ended
Across the buttercup field.
And I gasped at their faces
Over time's convoluted paces
Across the buttercup field.
Across the buttercup field,
things were awful.
Across the buttercup field,
torment never leaves people.
Across the buttercup field
Across The buttercup field
ACROSS THE BUTTERCUP FIELD...
I see the picture of hell
Across the buttercup field.
I wrote without stopping, letting my imagination do the writing. I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing. I was thinking what it was trying to tell me...
After a few minutes of deliberating, understanding lit up my obfuscated mind. :)

helluva crap
Thursday, January 21, 2010 6:50:00 PM
Oi ako nauna dito!! Hahahahaha! Magpost na kayo ng poems-slash-songs-slash-stories niyo.
English isn't mandatory. I don't speak English. I just dunno how to. :D
I sacrificed my fucking poem entitled "Shooting Star" just to get a view of this freaking blog for edits. Haha. Kidding, LOL. No, honestly, I can't view this blog without even a single post. It's much easier to edit the codes if I can have even the preview of this bloggy blog blog. LOL.
Alright, alright. Enough talk about crappy stuffs. Read it--if you want to. Lol.
Looking up at the stars tonight
I remember your tearful brown eyes
It was filled with loneliness, wide with fright
But there's resentment, as cold as ice
I couldn't fathom the way you look
I could only make out the beat of my heart
I was trembling by the time you took
A deep breath for a start
I knew lightning's gonna strike soon
So I braced myself to endure the pain
But then I heard the sad old tune
And raindrops fell on the window pane
You walked out the door without a word
Leaving me behind with emptiness
Pain stabbed my heart with the sharpest sword
The sword of the deafening nothingness
Looking back at the stars in the sky
I closed my eyes and refused to cry
But even without these tears I can't deny
That you're just a shooting star passing by...
Lalalalala... LOL. Hahahahaha!! Hyper!
