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..

MAGING SA DAPIT HAPON

Poem
Sa gabi na walang
tala.
Sa panahong
mapanglaw.
Mga pusong di
naawa.
Mga hinimok na
pananalanta.
Sa bingit ng basag
na salamin,
nabubulok na
kahoy,
nalalantang bukid,
nagbabadyang
alanganin,
kasiguraduhan ng
hamak,
kaisahan,
kawalan ng
nagmamahalan.
Sa kawalan ng
sinagtala,
sikat ng araw,
at kung kailang
dapit hapon
at takipsilim ang
nangingibabaw.
Heto’t payabungin
ang baga,
ang liwanang ng
kandila
Kailan Man Hindi
ako Mawawala.

Poem
Lonely nights passed me by
and I thought I never had anything
But you came my way
and you gave me everything.
Time has passed us by
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
and now nothing can tear us apart.
You fell in love ... Continue reading ...
Forever.... You and Me
Posted by Lawrence Corpuz on Wednesday, May 4, 2011,
In :
Poem
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 ...
Im Home....

Poem
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
For my peace-lov... Continue reading ...
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

Sentiments of Thy Heart

Poem
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

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 ...

Love
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 ...

Am I OK?

Love
“It will be okay…” But I know it won’t. And that’s
the truth, it won’t."
It's never okay to lose someone important to you.
You can never really let someone go but all you can do, and in fact, what you
should do, is move on. You, after all, are the master of your own life.
Therefore, you are responsible for your own happiness. And the only way you can
be happy again is if you recognize this fact. God, after all, gave you free
will. In life, we can never have everything we want b... Continue reading ...

All About Love

In :
Love
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 ...

ON LOVING
Posted by Lawrence Corpuz on Thursday, March 17, 2011,
In :
Love
When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in th... Continue reading ...
