Shoes Of Life

my shoes of life are faded

as my socks in it are limp

they are companions to my journey

in roads, cold and weary

rain poured, we're both drenched and wet

sun blazed, we're both scorched and yet

they accompanied me, day and night

walked together, dark or light

alas! found home again, journey had ended

took off my shoes, and there i laid them

on the window, i stared with awe

as they rested, as if they're thoughts are so far

the cool wind brushed the white curtains

as i smell the roads and paths i have taken

the journey had been rough, hard and difficult

scraped knee, swollen feet, and tired legs are the results.

why voyage through the hardships you may ask?

why walk if i can smoothly accomplish the task?

the answer could never be plain

success is sweeter when hindered by pain

White House

felt the wind touched my hand

Leaves falling from tree to land

Unpaved road of dirt and stone

Grasses sings a soft, gentle tone

I walked barefooted, on the road side

Waiting for a friendly ride

Then I saw from far ahead

An old white house with roof of red

The house is lonely, windows of broken glass

It stood at the middle of the sea of grass

As the wind blew its frail body

i hear a silent cry, sad and eerie

I walked through the path of stone and mud

Minding not the tired feet that i have

Curious of what a lovely house this must have been

And what stories of life it might have seen

I stepped on the deck, wood creaked as i land

birds are chirping, as if watching every strand

Of my step as i enter the house of white

Showered with tiny beams of light.

Nothing of any matter was insight

Just a hollow space of dust and light

A door at the back creaked as the wind blew

i step closer, then, i saw a view

The view was spectacular, nothing I have seen

A heaven on earth this may seem

The sun was peaking through the mountains

Orange grass swaying in the bed of plains

I stepped outside as if the air

was pushing me on to something that's not there

I walked on as if a child for the first time

walked like i never walked, run like the earth was mine

then i looked back and saw the house of white

so this everyday what he sees looks like

I thought, the house was never really lonely

Just seeing this place, can make you happy.

-End-

The things in life that you like to get

are never really the ones you needed

happiness is found when you stop looking for it

and look behind to what really is worth it.

Contentment is always with us, we just don't notice it

But if we start to realize what we have and be thankful for it,

We can be happy and optimistic

Dream if you would, just don't forget to be realistic

It's all in the power of the mind

the secret to living a happy life is just behind

yourself, a true person with a kind heart

Not what they thought of you from the start

i always believed that everything has a reason

but don't blame anyone, if your life becomes hell risen

Cause the mistakes that comes to your life

is because of the choices you decide.

A Friendly Love

It hurts to hear the song

we used to sing together

and the memories

back then when we were together

We're friends, that's all we are

until one day, i felt something bizarre

is that my heart beating so noisily?

Is this true or am i being silly?

We were torn apart by time and circumstances

we paved our own paths and took our chances

but still, we talked often, everyday we shared

the problems we had, yes, we still cared

i can't believe, of what i am hearing

as i sing the love song we used to sing

i held my heart and cursed

this cannot continue, in tears i burst

you have told me then that you liked this girl

she's beautiful and kind, i heard

perfect you said, she's the one for me

i am glad to see you happy

i have to see this girl, my mind came to speak

and then there she is, my knees went weak

she's beautiful like the girls on TV

a kind of girl I can never be

i told my heart to stop this foolishness

the feeling I'm feeling i can never express

for never you can love someone like me

A friend to you, I will ever be.

I guess I'm happy as long as you are

Whenever you're near, its as if you're far

But true, I'm glad to see you smile

Maybe I can get used to this for a while.

If you sacrifice your own happiness

And wishing he'll love you becomes less

And when the song doesn't hurt anymore

That' s true love, my friend, and nothing more

Written Thoughts

I have always seen you

through the windows of my soul

you have captured everything of me

but i never want you to know

im scared i guess

telling you wont be the best

so better keep this in locket of my heart

till my world tears apart

i know im not the one for you

so whats the use of telling you

i know im capable to be loved

falling for you, i should not have

so here i am, staring at your eyes

hoping that you'll stare back to mine

if there could be a medicine take this away

ill die of overdose today

The night wind knows this secret

i guess the full moon too

he saw me tearing last night as i went to sleep

crying till i drown deep.

One day, i just realized

while i was waiting for a ride

my mind came to speak to me a

nd what it said, engraved in memory

i deserve so much more of what i ask for

more than what I was wishing for

all it takes is patience and time

wait and the dream you'll find

as i write this feelings of mine

sewn in words of rhyme l

et my hands speak for me

of thoughts that can't be free

Misiing You Today

I saw your eyes
Its staring back at me
I touched your face
It is only a picture I see

You're far away from me
Miles and miles away
Today, I'm not happy
I don't know if I'll ever be

We're friends, that's all you know
And that's what I intend to show
I took the risk when I held your hand
I stared at it, hoping it'll never end

I smile when I know you're looking
My heart jumps when your mentioning
my name, oh how I miss you so
I guess you'll never know

Why do I love you like a crazy person
Why are these sleepless nights you're the reason
Why do I miss you so, oh I don't know
Why do I care for you, more and more

I write these words of sadness
Scribbling away with words of mess
Just to show that I miss you today
And I'll be thinking about you everyday

I guess you're asleep right now
Letting you know, I don't know how
I wish these words would fly away
And kiss you in the cheek, as the wind sway

Fate separated me from you

And this what’s makes me blue

I have nothing to do, but to write all day

Until this pain goes away…

Simile and Metaphor

It's like hanging on dead clouds

Nothing's gonna happen

It's skydiving with no wind

You fall straight to the landing

It's writing without ink

Like words left unsaid

It's digging for your grave

when you know you're dead

It's talking with no lips

It's looking without eyes

Driving through miles

When you know it's a lie

It's like loving you true

It's deafening and mute

I'ts like a door, you cannot enter

Until you finally surrender

Its thinking about you

When you're right here with me

It's like dreaming of you and me

This feeling, I have to set free

I may not carve to a stone or tree

That this will be the last

Of a thousand poems

For you, I'll cast

As I stare through the blackness of the night

I know you're alright

Hoping through a speck of a second

You'll realize you're my reason

Someday, I may forget what I feel

We may live our own lives, with or without fear

Hope you'll remember a friend you knew

Thing is, she's in love with you.

Jump

The wind is strong, as if ready

For what they will have to see

My feet are wounded from journey

I spread my arms freely

I looked down, rocks falling from my feet

Its a high jump, to myself i repeat

I'm waiting for you to stop me

When I fall, are you there to catch me?

i glanced back one last time

hoping to see your there

I teared as i saw not even a single face

this is it, im tired of this chase

i took one deep breath

then jumped into the air....

i was hanging...

wanted to go back to know if he's there..

too late..

i already ended my fate..

i felt i was nearing ground

i looked at the skies one last time

catch me, i whispered..

then silence..

Untitled

whenever i walk by myself

whenever i ride the bus alone

whenever i hear a love song

its you i think of

i cant help to cry inside

but i cant let my tears show

coz i dont want you to know

that deep inside all i want is you

beside me all the time

whenever you're inside my head

my heart aches with pain

the realizaton that im alone

hits me in the chest

i cant breathe

i cant speak

i cant cry

all i is want you

all i want is your love

Maybe

i never had this feeling

when every breath seems to be the last

when every blink is every second passed

time wasted

time thrown away

i wonder where you are tonight

wonder if you're thinking the same things as mine

memories playback inside my head

my hands to my face when i reminisce

those times that i thought we're the same

i thought it was the time, my time

of all the people that i loved,

of all the dreams that i had

you're the one that came to life to make them come true

i was excited

i was exhilarated

i was happy

i was in the middle of the road

dancing in the rain

celebrating my time

but then the truth hit me in the face

that's all a friendly gesture

friendly gesture i repeat to myself

my old lonely self came back to me like an old friend you dont want to see again

saying, you never really lost me

i was here all along. i know he's never yours to be

i looked up, tears started to rain on me

but i cant show it

this feeling i have to hide it

hoping to end this by myself

not letting you know.. you'll never know this

that everytime we're together

i look into your eyes

hoping to see a little love from you

now all is left are memories

of things misunderstood

of lies

of too much expectations

of regrets

of what ifs

of i should have done that..

of everything

of wishing

that those never happened

maybe im not like this now...

maybe im not lonely right now

maybe i dont love you now..
