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.

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

...

You are sensitive,

A beauty so delicate,

Maiden well-cared of.

***

Your blooms are unique,

Unusual, yet so simple,

Lovely to look at...

***

Offering the White,

Lilac seems an endless love

Forgot what we were.

***

Have you seen this one?

Do you remember this flow'r?

You said I'm the one.

***

Decipher the words,

Scribbling because of sadness

Orchids we were once.

The Woman In The Mirror

The woman in the mirror

I always see a smiling face
No matter what life dishes out
She still has poise and grace.

So many troubles

Life has been all wrong

The woman in the mirror

Still sings a happy song.

The woman in the mirror

No one sees her grief

She learned to hide it well

Though she knows no relief.

Sometimes sadness overrules

And she wants to let go

And the journeys of life

Are often too much to know.

She finds the strength somehow

To carry the heavy load

Two steps further forward

Along the endless rocky road.

The woman in the mirror

Her beliefs have made her strong

Knowing there is happiness

That will someday, to her belong...

*A shared photo and a message that captured my senses. Reading this poem.. it pulls on the inner emotions of the poet for a woman. I have this feeling that the poet's subject is the woman herself. I may be wrong ..or he/she had been a witness to another woman's experience..somehow, the poem also reflects me...

The Sunflower in Me

📷 image by EmilyM

As the bright sun shines

What a smile sunflower brings

Brightens someone's day!

Radiates joy, beauty

A positive energy

Good vibes from within!

Unwavering faith

And unconditional love

for someone adored...

Absorbs emotions

Sensitiveness for its kind

Let the pollen spread!

If you meet someone

With wits and intelligence

Catch and don't let go!

If you haven't found

Hunt one for she brings beauty

Across the ages!

Aurora

Your light glows into the night sky

Amazing splendor through the night

Joy, excitement in one's eyes.

How magical! How wonderful!

Enchanting, captivating lights!

Created by One so Powerful!

One of the most marvelous creations,

Not all people are blessed to witness...

Aurora why aren't you here?

How can we see the splendor,

your natural beauty presents.

Follow the dream, follow the sky,

Follow the land where Aurora is...

My Star

📷 image credit shutterstock.com

I gaze through the lens,

I thought you were a star.

Your love touches my eyes reaching me,

touches life, outlining your presence in me.

Your warmth never burns,

your hug glows inside me.

Your brightness, is subtle, impressive,

a love that knows no distance.

You speak through my heart

without even opening your lips.

We consummated our longing

every time the world darkens.

You are humble enough

to reach me beyond the expanse,

telling me there is something

rather than nothing.

I then realized that you saw me before

or is it I that saw you?

Every night, our future meets from a distant past.

I wonder if you are still there.

Winter-Spring

📷 image credit shutterstock.com

Flowers bloom in spring, snowfalls in winter...

Is it possible that two different ideas would connect?

Blooming flowers in cold winter snow...

How ironic these two seasons would meet...

Will the winter snow protect the blooms in spring?

Will the snow save and preserve its blooms,

or the snow will crush and ruin it?..

One born in spring, another birthed out in winter

Is it possible that two different generations would meet,

and forego their dreams together?

Decades apart we could never say...

Differences in style and ideas could make or unmake them.

The warm breeze of spring could melt the winter snow,

and yet the freezing air of winter could preserve the blooms of spring.

Somehow one could never be prejudged what would really transpire,

for only humility, submissiveness, and sacrifice of each one,

could make it work, though perils and trials are way ahead.

YOU ..Despite It All

📷 image credit cuded.com/anime-illustrations-by-cartoongirl7

YOU hurt me and; then YOU say sorry...

But you hurt me again...

YOU say you don't love me..then you show some love..

Then you ignore me again...

YOU treat me just as a toy...which you need when you are bored..

Then you throw it away...

Just like a thing that you pick up in times of need...only in need..

Then you find it useless...

But my heart pains each time I see you happy with someone else...

because I Still want you to be happy with Me..♥♥

And just want YOUR arms to die in...

SUNSET

Sun engulfed by dusk

Promises new day and hope

Dawn peeping through clouds

~~o0o~~

Beauty of Sunset

Unspeakable awareness

of what lies ahead.

~~ o0o ~~

Sunset gives us hope,

Another day's gone away

New day rise again

I belong to God

I am His beloved child,

whom He surely loves.

I believe God's Words

He is our true loving God,

who promised me life.

I believe God's works

Created all things that we see

for us to enjoy.

I believe God's will

He knows what is right for me

and the best for us.

I believe God's ways

He's our Father who knows best

to set things straight.

Love Lost

📷 image credit slideshare.net/arrariv/il-gerriero-dela-luce

From that day when you left me,

my whole world fell apart...

my heart has broken into pieces...

and yet you were never satisfied...

never expected that you will step into it...

You asked me what was wrong,,

but I refused to answer what is inside of me...

I just said, "NOTHING SERIOUS"...

but when you turned your back on me,

I just whispered "EVERYTHING"...

A broken heart never really heals...

it was just kept in the deepest part of your life...

it was too funny to say that you've broken my heart,,

but still...

"I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART"...

The spaces between your fingers should be filled with mine...

but now it is filled with hers.

I never thought that the person whom I've loved so much,,

cause me so much pain...

I've tried to forget you...

but no matter how I've tried,

I just can't let go of you...

I just wish that dreams and wishes do come true...

because in my dreams you were always there...

just like living in a fantasy,,

but when reality comes..you weren't there...

I've tried so hard to pretend that everything in me is doing alright...

but when I am all alone..the pain..the agony...

it's just like a wound that heals but the scar remains...

I've tried to cover it with a fake smile,,

and act as if it's not hurting me...

now I feel like I wanna hate the word "LOVE and GOODBYE"

I've foolishly held on tightly for our love...

even though I know I'm no longer the person in your heart...

a lot of my friends say that I should let go of you...

of all the things that connected us in our past,

I just smiled at them and silently cried...

you've torn my whole world apart and you don't even know it...

you were the one who set it up,,

now you're the one who wants to stop it...

it's so hard to accept that everything between us is over...

you're the only person whom I cared for...

but you left me with a broken heart...

you've once made me feel like I'm on top of the world...

but now I am nothing but a living corpse...

Everything I've learned in breaking up...I learned it from you...

everything ends like how it begins...

love is like heaven but it can be like hell when breaking up is already there...

and the pain strikes your heart...

moving on is the hardest thing to do, especially when your heart wants to keep holding on...

And now I'm living in my own world...

pretending it was nothing...

I've tried to reach for something,,

something that will make me a new one...

though it was unreachable...

I go to a place where I can shout and scream out all the pain inside my heart...

but after that, I just kneel down and cry...

I have written your name on the sand,

but the sea washed it away...

just like how your love had been gone...

maybe I just need to write your name in my heart...

so that it can stay forever...

cause I know that my heart will always be yours...

now I know what true love really means...

once you love someone so true...

the person stays as part of you... forever...

Starin' At The Moon So Blue...

Gazing At The Stars, I Feel You!

Just Wondering If There's A Clue?

When You Smile At Me Like The

The way I Do.

Even If I'm Not Perfect!

I'll Try My Best Be Full Of Respect,

I'll Promise To Share My Life With You...

Waiting... Until You Love Me Too.

Your Face Makes My Mind Going Crazy

Your Smile Makes My Life Perfect

The Squint Of Your Eyes Saying...

I'm Your Perfect Combination.

In All My Day And All My Night

I'm Admiring You With All My Heart,

Hoping You And I Will Fall Apart

And You Become The Meaning

Of My Life.

The road is filled with flowers, thorns, leaves.

The air blows

carrying along some from the field.

As it blows,

some fell to the ground,

some stay but fell

on the other side,

some stick where it's being carried...

Battle for Life

📷 image credit to catholictothemax.com

Along the path of life, there's a battle to fight

It wouldn't be given if we couldn't carry the fight.

It may seem too heavy for us

But God is larger than our battles...

Hold on for this is the way we're being tried,

Surviving the call of fate...

Put on the armor of faith
that you shall win this case.

Slide on the sword of hope

that you will stay on hold.

Girt your loins with love

for it will protect your cove,

and redeem your throne.

Be a king of life,
soar up the flight,

hold on to the light,

so you can win the fight.

May-December Affair

📷 image credit irodalommindenkinek.eoldal.hu/fenykepek

Flowers bloom in spring,
snowflakes fall in wintertime

What if these two meet?

~~~oOo~~~

Blossoming flowers,
covered with cold winter snow.
Preserve or destroy.

~~~oOo~~~

Snow preserve the blooms,
as the love of two people
save it though diff ' rent.

~~~oOo~~~

Snow can destroy blooms
as the love of two people
tear each other's hearts.
