Bitter Sweet

Posted on Monday, November 5, 2007. Filed under: love, poetry |

If love could buy me daylight,
I would gladly fall head over heels over it.
The truth is,
It spends more time robbing me of daylight.
So, don’t blame me for stinking love:
Love is justly blind faith.

I’m in a good mood today!

Dear God, I’m in a good mood today! Do you know why? Daddy has finally looked at me today! It was such a magical feeling! And I counted; he looked at me four times!
I woke up this morning, thinking that it was just going to be another day. In fact, [...]

Enough

Posted on Sunday, August 26, 2007. Filed under: feelings, love, poetry |

Look into my eyes.
You know I love you.
How could you doubt me?
Had I not done enough?
I have always believed,
I have never stopped trying.
So, I thought you were with me,
I assumed you would work for it.
How wrong, how naïve,
How disillusioned I have been.
Don’t blame me,
I’m just trying to make things right.
Please forgive me,
I’ll make it all [...]

Sunrise

Sunrise
That was all I asked for
You told me I would get it
First day
You said you had a gruelling night
Second day
You said you had forgotten about it
Third day
You said the weather forecast wasn’t good
It went on and on and on
And that day never came
Differences were there for all to see
But I chose to hang on
I chose [...]

Songs of the Father and His Son

Posted on Tuesday, May 1, 2007. Filed under: family, feelings, human nature, life, love, people, poetry, thankful |

David
Beholden with deep gratitude
Not knowing the grounds
Of which this grace came to being
An austere life devoid of fanfare
Hallowed nuptials with a gorgeous nymph
Wishing an epoch of gaiety
Along came an unblemished progeny
A gratification that surpasses my own love
Solomon
Yielded by the heavens
Farmed by the man and woman of old
Pure in the heart
Virtuous in the mind
Nothing in the [...]

“Hi!” he said with a certain intensity.
“Hi!” she uttered, feeling a little nervous.
“Thought I just come by to visit you,” he said, almost losing control.
“Sure. Come on in,” she beamed. She opened the door, paving his way.
He stepped into the house, heaving a silent sigh of relief. Her home was simple, but [...]

Promising

Posted on Saturday, April 28, 2007. Filed under: death, human nature, life, love, poetry, prose |

Look at the beautiful night sky
With the twinkling stars and the elegant moon
It certainly promises much
The cool sea breeze
And the salty smell of humidity
They definitely promise much
How I wish all these had come earlier
You know, we could have really lived happily ever after
We could have realistically grown old together
Pity the human nature is such
That we [...]

8.59 p.m.
Tonight, I really had a wonderful time spent with you.
I’m not very good with words. I just know that my feelings for you have grown stronger by the seconds. As I walked you home, I wanted to tell you how I sincerely feel for you and how much I want to be [...]

till life do us part

Posted on Saturday, March 31, 2007. Filed under: death, life, love, poetry, questions, reflections, resolution |

your words convinced me
your love warmed me
your actions melted me
your sacrifices nailed me
you were meant for me

so, it really puzzles me
why you didn’t do it, for me
why you didn’t put in effort, for me
why you didn’t trust your faith, for me
why you didn’t insist on showing the way, for me

well, i guess this is it
you [...]

Helena’s Note

Posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2007. Filed under: family, human nature, letter, love, people, poetry, questions, reflections |

I was naïve
To think that I’d be cherished
I was foolish
To believe that I was the special one
I thought
I was brought into this world
As a result of a conscientious effort of love
I’d never imagine
That I was a reluctant and unexpected mistake
I could never tell
That grudges and resentment and worse would follow
That my name was conveniently given
Because [...]

poor girl

Faith has fallen sick. After a rather nasty fall which had her lip cut (leading to two ulcers) last Friday, she now has a runny nose and teary eyes, and a little phlegm in the throat. Jennifer took a day’s leave to take Faith to the doctor who found a little ear infection [...]

have i lost it?

Feeling a tinge of nostalgia. Remembered this song yesterday. Can’t help but feel with the words. Have I myself lost it? Is there something wrong? Or is it normal?
Anyway, enjoy the song.

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.
And there’s no [...]
