Thankful For The Day

"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.

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.

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.

In This Life Without YOU..

My love, in this life without you

I am lost...

I remember you as if it was only yesterday.

The way the morning sun danced in your hair

as your smile and sweet good-morning kisses woke my world.

In this life, I have been searching for,

But cannot seem to find you.

Where are you, my love?

Was it all just a dream?

It feels so real and I see it so clearly.

It must be. My heart is yours.

I remember you perhaps from the heavens or another life.

I promised you then, I would find you...

so I will search the world over...

Until once again...

your sweet morning kisses

wake me from this slumber...

we call loneliness...
