Poem
I toil for self approval, And work for bitter praise. Digging down into the darkness, Of a slowly growing grave. My bloody hands lie broken, And my shovel scrapes on stone, Until the hole that I´ve been feeding, Is the only thing I own. I stand, alone and empty, And lose all hope within, I´ll keep digging to the bottom, Until they throw the dirt back in. Continue reading ...

Autumn Leaves

In :
Poem
The moon cast a muted glow in my darkened room
Trying to lift my spirit from gloom.
But her attempt was all in vain,
For in my heart, a deep rooted pain
I use to believe, all is ephemeral,
But my heartaches seem like eternal.
I grew tired wearing a clown's mask,
Hiding the shadow of sorrow in my eyes.
Yes I cried not for my loss........
The dreams we shared, I tried to live,
Started to fall like an autumn leaves..

Poem
Living again
The feeling's too familiar
Forgetting the end
To start yet another familiar beginning.
Pain of disbelief
Within this darkness you cast
I'm not there, and I don't want to be here
Come watch me shed my tears.
The undying connection
The misinterpretation of my heart's desires
The failure to understand could take me
Away to the self-providing world of insanity
There I will run in the open wilderness of the
night
Running and hiding and searching for the one who
will fight the fire
O... Continue reading ...
Storm Hunter

Poem
Searching through the trees
Today there's a strong breeze
Residual hauntings resonate here
Desecrated by disgraces who never tasted fear.
Haunting through the storm
For things I may never know
Seeing your stride in my mind
Walking free for all time.
Come see my thoughts
Memories you awakened
Not one time you fought
Will ever be forsaken.
With a shield of thunder
And a sword of lightning
Storm hunter, yes, I am
Deep inside shivering with pain.

Enter into an obscure world
Im a prisoner that is seen with the eye.
I am your soul
I am I
And I can see you right through... my view
As I wait for you... to watch me.
And I'm waiting
I'm creating
For you...
Take me to your world
Every day, your slave.
And I won't be a fool...
and I won't be afraid...
You betrayed
Play me now
Ruin my purity
Like silk from a spider... and I'm filthy.
I'll be it -- you'll see
You carry me around
Until you want to hear my sound
I once did too...

Some kind of redemption, no protection...
Those dead days... I can't breath
Like I ruined... oh no... no!
Makes me sick
Definite hypocrite
Remember me, don't try to forget me
You made me afraid
You flourished while I decayed
Everyone said I was dead
Wandering like ghosts through my head
Your punishment found in flames...
I'm sorry, my love; pay no attention to them
They are what remain from a past that is dead
Can we be together?

I'm screaming behind this bars
On this world of selfish desire
Want no more than to escape
Free myself, that's I want to have.
But try hard as I might
I always get lost every night
Each passing day my strength grows weak
No one to hear me as I speak.
So I pray my breath to leave
Take away my life with it
Consume me with fire from hell
Go forth, you have a story to tell.
And leave me alone crying
With burning tears never ending
Making a pool of blood beneath my feet
My reflection laughing, ...

Lonely nights passed me by

But you came my way

but we didn't realize anything
We talked all night
and that night we found everything
We saw something in each other
that would last a lifetime
and that night that we talked
I wanted to make u mine.
There was something about u
so I just followed my heart
so I told you and you told me

We have passed through so much time
Merely existing as spirits soulfully entwined
You happened across my path one day
And decided that you’d like to stay.
Now we look at each other
And we are amazed at how far we’ve come
How our spirits have grown
And how quickly the seeds of our life were sown.
Someday, on the other side of forever
We will look back and reflect
How wonderful it was
How we’ve come to expect
More of ourselves and the world
Knowing how truly wonderful life can b... Continue reading ...

The night was dark, cold,
foreboding
The ark I had hoped never to need
Sat ready and self- sufficient, awaiting the drops
The sky opened with gusting winds
and torrential rain
The new ocean tossed
and tumbled my simple craft
All alone a midst waves and thunder
I sit in my misery and wonder if the light will come
Forty days and forty nights passed over my dark soul
As the last drop falls and eerie silence descends,
I feel a new hope spring forth
But the time is not yet right

What a Fool is a Lover Could Be (A sad story...)

Poem
Diamonds shimmer
in the depths of the
calmest pond.
I reach for one,
but I can't touch.
Instead I create a current
and stir the murky depths
Mud and clay
cloud the once clear pool.
Only evidence is washed away
in a roaring wave.
The wave descends
and shatters the once still air
Into the voices
of a thousand tiny angels,
Each one crying out
for a lost soul to save.
As the river breaks
into the ocean of dreams,
I stare and wonder
in it's magnificence.
Dare I?
I stand at the banks

Even though you
are so very far away,
You somehow seem nearer to me each day.
You are the life of my soul,
Making me feel whole.
You are the forever flaming fire,
Everything I could ever desire.
You are the spark of my dreams
All the ambition in my schemes.
You are my true best friend,
Someone whom I can always depend.
You are my star that guides,
Always there helping me to decide.
You are as close to me as can be,
Because you are a part of me.

Better than Bitter

In :
All About Life
Many people are afraid of getting involved again after
the collapse of a relationship. Some people would call
them embittered, but beneath bitterness is fear. We have been hurt. We are
afraid of being hurt again so we stop trusting men, or women.
I don't want to be one of those persons. This is
not to say that I don't have my own fears. I do. Sometimes my fears are so huge
they feel as if they will engulf me. But I'm willing to sit quietly in the
center of those fears until they become some... Continue reading ...

Some days the right person comes along at the right time
and reaches inside
the churning maw of chaos and doubt
we have
slipped within
opens a hand
we take hold
and choose to walk
out
It's funny how a
few well-placed words can offer clarity
and the world
tilts
slides open
a sigh escapes our
weary hearts
and
we realize we've been holding our breath
for years
And quite suddenly
we know the singular joy
of sitting deeply
in the stillness of our own truth

Through sheer insanity, I jump off the ring of fire that kept me in prison, consuming all my strength. Then freed0m on the apex of it is finally on my reach, disregarding all the pessimisms, resentments and sarcasms.. I become whole again.. Which I've wanted years ago..

Cry over my grave when I die, That I could swim in the sea of your sorrow. But please, never come in black, I might get lost in the dark. Keep the candle burning, Never let the wind blow. For as long as the flame is dancing, I can find my way home. To eternal bliss that can give me peace, In your heart and mind, I shall rest.
When the sun bids you goodbye and take refuge for the night, I shall rise from my coffin to give you warmth. And when at night the moon refuse to glow, worry not my love for the stars w... Continue reading ...

When the world is resting, and the night is still. When the moon is the only source of light, Can't help but think of you my love.
As the cold breeze passes by, It brings shivers down deep in my spine. Missing once more, the warmth of your love, Oh, I just can't live when you're not around.
I close my eyes, I see you in the dark, And feel your presence like a teardrops. I open my eyes to tremble at your sight, Holding me close, surrendering your life.
The feel of your body against mine, Stir a sensation s... Continue reading ...

Those who do not like it call it responsibility. They play with it, calling it a game. They are not living with it, calling it a dream. Those who love each other, call it destiny. If we lose love, then there must be a reason behind it. The reason is sometimes difficult to understand, but we still have to believe When He took something, He will be ready to give us much better. We just have to wait patiently. Why wait? Because even if we wanted to make a decision, we need not want to rush. Because e... Continue reading ...

Most of us are
subject to guilt feelings. We may be spending so much time feeling guilty
everyday. Guilt for the most part is very constructive. It's an important
civilizing influence that keeps people from hurting, distressing or
disappointing others. However, the system that works for good can also
malfunction.
If your guilt
feelings don't lessen after you've tried to make amends, or if you are feeling
guilty for things you can't control, you're probably suffering from false

"Thank you, Sir.
Praise the Lord!" the old beggar exclaimed in clear English as I shove a
five-peso coin into his hand. I was on my way to meet a friend at a restaurant
near Raja Solaiman Park one rainy October day when I chance upon the kindly old
man, charming passers-by for alms with his tooth-less smile and sunny
disposition.
Minutes later, as I sat
comfortably in the restaurant with my friend, the memory of the old man
lingered in my mind. After our meal, we go to the spot where I left... Continue reading ...

Need to look busier? Make sure your office appears swamped at all times. Your desk should always look like you're in the midst of some incredibly time-sensitive project. This way you can safely maximize the time you spend checking your facebook. For added protection, make sure the papers on your desk are arranged in stacks. A calculator, a few stray apples and a strategically placed pair of eyeglasses will round out the organized chaos effect. Finally, some work on your computer screen that yo... Continue reading ...

Win-win. Win-lose. Lose-lose. We all hear that terms not just on games we play but also on our every day play of the game called LIFE. What does it mean, one may ask. Well, if I’m the one to answer, it refer to the possible outcomes of a game or dispute involving two sides, and more importantly, how each side perceives their outcome relative to their standing before the game. For example, a “win” results when the outcome of a negotiation is better than expected, a “loss” when the out... Continue reading ...

First love, I thought, may cut and mark us the deepest, but love that lasts and grows does so because it joins and nurtures what is dearest, finest and noblest in two people. And because it understands and forgives what is less so. First love may register in the blood with dizzying effect, but the love that endures takes up residence in the soul. In this way, love becomes something far more powerful than bone and flesh. It completes us, gives us the wholeness we need to navigate safely through... Continue reading ...
