Unrequited Love

📷*image credits to www.keyword-suggestions.com

Eyes staring at, hearts thumping for,

Shows the menace of unspecial.

Create nuisance for one unheard,

Unrequited love, it may seem ...

Keeping the sake for its one love,

Anything belongeth to thee.

Though it despiseth thee,

Unrequited love, it may seem...

Hearts cried for secret it ruleth,

Can't be returneth unto thee,

Ne'er be requited unto thee...

Yet in time, love might be it is.

Stareth for one more thing the pain,

The tragedy of unrequited,

Though boundeth by time and belief,

Forget or wait if required.

Never Come Back

📷image credit to deviantart.com/vvbornofdesirevv

I am alone

but I'm at peace.

I am crying,

so I can blow off the sadness.

I'm staring somewhere,

'coz I am thinking.

I am drifting

though I'm still on my feet.

I am sitting here,
seems like I'm waiting

yet I am not.

I am having the best of my time,

until you came along...

again...

An unkempt existence

I do not want to be,

A poignant memory

I never wanted sight again...

You insinuated,

I have tried,

but you cannot hold it together.
You let it pass,

So I say,

Never come back,

Never again.

Yours only hold the best for you.

So never come back,

never try seeking any of me,
I'll just look away...

and you'll dread the day,

I do not sense any of it...

Each ..We Would Never Have

📷image credit to Final Fantasy characters

We have met..

We fell..

We loved..

We shared..

We have drifted apart..

One love

we should never have...

One moment

we should never share.

Time isn't only against us,

but love itself.

It seems right,

but wrong in its sense.

Time goes..

And you're here again..

Time flies..

Yet it is still the same...

Memories coming back,

Pains wanting recall..

We have met..

We miss each other..

We love..

We kissed..

We held each other..

I cried..

We know..

We would say..

our final goodbyes..

You can say..

You would never hear..

the lips of an angel

again..

This one love..

We could never have..

Someday, Somewhere..

May it never happen again,

May it be given a chance...

To love..

Each ..That we would never have.

A Father He Is...

He is the foundation of every home,

Giving the home its epitome.

Holding each wall that represents its home,

To protect and to guide its clone.

He is the strength of its wall,

For without him it could crumple.

Battling the storms destructing what he builds,

He should stay strong for the trust that its wall clings.

Whatever it may, the foundation would stay,

Though walls might crack and leave their grip.

The foundation would lay its way,

To gather once again, the wall that was stripped.

When The Clock Strikes 12

📷image credits to wallpaperaccess.com/cute-cinderella

When Cinderella almost didn't make it to the ball.

It was the time I die when you left.

When the fairy godmother came

in the nick of time to save the day.

That's when God lifted me up to save the house.

When Prince Charming asked her to dance

to let the crowd know whom he had chosen.

There is that one who has helped me carry

through the darkest night.

When the clock strikes 12 and it was time

for Cinderella to leave.

The time has come for me to go

and leave from your sight.

Thankful For The Day

📷images credit to wallhere.com/en/wallpaper/523336

"How precious is that moment,

walking freely through the meadows...

How golden is that time,

sniffing aromas around the bushes...

How blissful is that day,

opening my eyes for these wonderful creations...

For every moment that I could stand,

I would cherish it.

For every minute that I could breathe,

I would be joyful.

For every single day that I could wake up,

it would be a relief,

that YOU have given me another day

with those so dear to me.."

**I was able to compose this poem
when I had been able to get up
and feel no more the throbbing pain for days..

Freedom in Waters

Imperial Palace Hotel & Resort-Cebu

Breath in, dive in, swim through...
refreshing it is!

Bluish soft-cradle wrapped around me

Lulls me to silence underneath the surface,
Freedom as it is!
Swirl around, moving freely underneath...
Seeing it clear..
the sun's reflection dancing with me!
I can smile..
playing with bubbles
as I breathe out...
If I could only stay for long...
and leave the surface behind,
forgetting the time...
It takes courage and faith
to move freely on this crystal.
But once you embrace it...
the joy it brings
can never be counted.

Your Kiss

📷image credits to the owner

It's been a long time

How would it be..
to look in your eyes again...

The answer is in your kiss.

It's been a long time,

nobody dared..

for me to feel

that amazing moment..

As your hands reached for my face,

our lips locked..

and from there..it all comes back...

the tenderness..the sweetness

of the moment..

Your kiss..

brings back memories,

of what it feels to be wanted.

Your kiss..

takes me

to what I've been missing.

Your kiss..

soft and tender,

yet can't tell what's in it...

but at least..

that kiss..

wakes up the undead..

I hadn't recalled how it feels,

until you..

again..

Remembering Earth

credits to the owner/images are not mine

Its green pastures, our bountiful harvest...

Its detailed landscape, our breathtaking view
Its blue waters, our refreshing crystals...
Its fresh monsoon wind, our vigorous life...
Its clear blue sky, our hopefulness abounds.

Where is thy golden age? Poisons stink everywhere...
Where is thy glorious past ? A sore blinded our eyes...
Where are thy shining glass - broken pieces we no longer admire...
Where are thy blooming fragrance - a death given to our children...
Where is thy infinite light - darkness looming over our lives...

What shall we do... the trees no longer bear fruits...
What shall we do... destruction blinded our eyes...
What shall we do... the thirst can no longer be quenched...
What shall we do... the air suffocates the life it brings...
What shall we do... our home became history for the unknown.

Blue Sky

Looking up to you,

So soft and cuddly it was,

Cloud in a blue sky.

~~oOo~~

How I am amazed,

A deep sense of serenity

Rarely seen and felt.

~~oOo~~

White in a blue sky,

An angel-like in the midst,

Reaching out to touch.

~~oOo~~

Imagination
Different forms we can see,
Asking if you were there?

D e s i r e e

The name of the one desired,

A heart that of a sweet child.

A mind of a simple lass,

A dreamer of her own truss.

With her extravagant smile,

To welcome you from a mile

A refreshing scene to see,

Jolly companion to be.

Trials and sufferings abound,

Her faith had made it all bound.

All of it she would lose sight,

But never her friends all night.

~~~oOo~~~

The moment I lay my eyes on you,

the face of a sad angel,

Thinking out loud but never said anything.

"This girl looks like my daughter," so I thought...

I have noticed, have asked, and found...

yes, it's true...

The reason for those sad eyes...

yet, talking to you...

I could see...

I have seen the beauty of your heart,

the kindness of your soul...

'till it uncovers the refreshing smile,

and it never left my memory...

until we meet and see each other again.

From then on, you've been like a daughter to me.

Swaying movements from afar

Seeing it goes side to side.

I'm looking like a czar,

Guarding every move and tides

I have seen the angry waves,

I can feel the silent mood.

Deep within, a hideous grave,

A mystery behind abode.

I'm an island all alone,

Yet, a sight could make one turn.

Though, too many years have gone by,

My tower still stands and burns.

I'm the eye that guides the dark

Giving each vessel a sight,

Keeping the night to send spark.

I am the house swirling the light.

What Am I ..Becoming ..

I once had a beautiful mind,

and I thought I could fill somebody's gap.

I once had a sensitive heart,

and I inspired and motivated someone's craft.

I had that freedom to play under the sun,

unmindful of the rains whenever they came.

One sudden gush of wind...

it came from nowhere.

The once bright and joyful laughter

swallowed through the dark...

never to see it again...

What am I becoming? .. the voice within asked.

The mind that fills,

now sorting things out

to a scheme that she was not.

What am I becoming? .. the voice keeps ringing,

the heart that moves,

now, frightening the scare out of your door.

I become one's nightmare

entering the dreams

of what I thought I would not become.

Drag anyone close to my face,

let it consume or be with me.

Find happiness at night,

afraid and hiding when the dawn breaks in

Wanted to lay eyes again on the bright morning sun

yet, it would only forecast my doom.

A Pair To Remember

We are not Romeo and Juliet,

but the way we look at each other

is like we love till death do us part.

We are not living in the castle,

but our way and demeanor

are like the princes and the princesses.

We are just like a pair of the plate,

giving food to eat at someone's table,

to give life.

We are just like a pair of ceramic,

adorning the table for somebody's delight,

to give color.

We are a pair who bore fruits,

tending them to live and grow

A pair who gives the time

for these fruits to shine.

~ €mpêråtrïzV

~~~oOo~~~

Far Away

I am looking at you, but you didn't notice.

I am talking to you, but you're not listening.

I am touching your face, but you're fast asleep

I am holding your hands, but you take them away

I am trying to make you laugh, but you just frown at me

I am kissing you, but your thoughts are far away from here.

The stare you had set on me before

.. is no longer there.

The eagerness you shared with me when we talk back then

.. is now lost in the air.

The attention you had given me even when you're about to fall asleep

.. is nowhere to find.

The touch you had more than lovingly returned

..is nothing but an ice-cold treatment.

The smile you had shown me

..is now complete sarcasm.

The love you have so confidently expressed whilst will not change

..is now a dire insult to my womanhood and sanity.

The times you have never filled in the tank,

you never let me do too.

The times we fight, we have never talked it out.

You're far away now

..and I'm becoming for what it causes.

Time flies...

I too would be so far away from your sight.

Emily Faith Princess

My daughter with Princess Belle on Disney Princess mall tour, all in a yellow gown

A special gift has been given to me

Extraordinary and unlikely

To keep and to be taken care of.

Who can't comprehend love's so Motherly?

Believing for greater things to happen

Trusting and hopeful for things not yet seen

Her name is a reminder, Faith it is,

Adorable! What a Princess she is!

~ €mpêråtrïzV

(a poem celebrating my daughter's 10th birthday)

The Dawn

..dawn in Boracay..

Peeking through the clouds

A morning-glory behind

Waiting to be seen.

~~~oOo~~~

Do not lose the hope

Each life has its own morning

Wait, the dawn's coming.

~~~oOo~~~

His blessings are new

Every morning forever

Jehovah Jireh!

~~~oOo~~~

Alone waiting for you

Seeing you was a great joy!

Gray with orange hues.

Baguio Blooms Festival

One of the Float in the Parade with a theme "Save Our Forest", used a variety of yellow flower blooms as design.

BAGUIO

City on a mountain, your glorious beauty mesmerizes

Your greens, and fruits, and flowers, morning dew I cannot forget

Above in the clouds, your majestic view epitomizes

A beauty that I long to see and my lens eager to set.

Come back again as your enchanting beauty whisper to me,

Pine trees pointing towards the sky welcomes me as I come near

As you touch my face, I can feel your soft embrace, swinging me.

As you entangle my hair, I can smell your breath, I am here.

~ €mpêråtrïzV

~~~oOo~~~

Farewell

If you will see the sun coming from the east,

remember me.

If you see the sunset in the dusk sky,

try to whisper my name.

If you see a butterfly flying on its colorful wings,

follow it and rejoice for the happiness it brings.

If you see the sunflower in the meadow,

remember my face who walks with you in the willow.

... I love you till the morning after,

... love to see and hear your laughter.

... I cry when I remember the past,

... I die when you breathe your last.

Golden Pearl

Pearl of the Orient,
Captivating golden pearl,
Rare beauty to find.

~~~~~oOo~~~~~

Beauty from the deep
A Boracay find for keeps,
A treasure to behold.

..a pair of freshwater golden pearl earrings
from Boracay, Philippines
..according to the natives they are rare to find

just like the deep sea
saltwater golden pearl.

Shunning The Past

📷image credits to the owner

I am dreaming

..shunning
..running away so fast...
that I don't even want to glance back.

My heart is beating fast...
I'm gasping for air...

I don't wanna let this time pass

..shunning

My mind is hoping, it isn't true

they are coming..to get me...

run..run

I do not belong here..but it isn't fair...

regret

...

let me go..let me go...

crying..sobbing..too late...

they are coming to get me...

please...please..let me go...

out of this castle!

..' shun'...

I don't wanna go back.

they say.

"You can't get undone what's been done!"

I've tried... but I can't... I can't...

I don't wanna wake up...I don't wanna feel it...

Yes... I wanna go...I wanna go...I wanna go...

I am still here

..Stuck

..Alone

..Staring..somewhere...

then...

reality...
I

here

...

The Spider Mums

Stalk like a spider
Clawed by the enchanting beauty
Spider mum you may call

~~~oOo~~~

Simply beautiful

The time it blooms radiantly
Eyes fixed and wonders.
~~~oOo~~~

Unusual flower
A hand that grasps to hold one's sight.
Radiant to behold.

Fogs Everywhere

📷 images by EmilyM.

Keep your eyes awake,
For the fogs is everywhere,
Engulfs who passed by.

~~~~~ oOo~~~~~

Can't see what's ahead
Fogs cover the entire road
The walk to the future.

~ €mpêråtrïzV

Mountains' misty road

Wreaks fear for uncertainties,

Yet life becomes it.

~~~~~ oOo~~~~~

Amazing sight comes

And hands catching air as mist,

Cold nature embraced.
