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.

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!

(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.

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.
