Reading Across the Universe

Today I feel sad and lonely

All alone, with nowhere to look

Deep inside this dark alley

So I sat down and open a book.

Page after page, my hands flipped
Word by word, my eyes ate

To what extent, my heartbeat skipped

Making me forget how to hate.

I looked around and saw the stars
They're beautiful, dreaming or not

Then I traveled, starting from Mars

Guess I really read books a lot.

I met creatures, aliens I think
I wasn't scared, but amazed

Not a second, my eyes dared to blink

Looking around the purple haze.

Then reality snapped back at me
I flipped the last page of the book

It's sad and it hurts to see

That I'm alone again in my nook.

Reading helps me escape reality
It gives me magic to break the curse

And travel to the other side of diversity

Reading across the universe.

*I made this poem when my sister asked help for her project. She's not the literary type of girl so I did it for her. She asked me to write a poem entitled Reading Across the Universe in the middle of the night and said she need it the following morning. Great. Just great.

The Leaf

Here I am once again
A fallen angel from heaven
I've always been too stiff
That's why I always fall, like a leaf.

My touch has always been soft
My pride was never been aloft
My life from the start was poignant
I didn't  want to be this stagnant.

Days passed by like pages of a book
While I stay here, alone in my nook
I once lived outside there, free
Happy with my family, my tree.

They used to hold me so tight
Never let me out of their sight
But in a blink of an eye, I was gone
And boom! By the rain, my life's done.

Poetry

Once again,
I understand.
I feel.
I yearn.
To read and write,
my own love story
and misadventures
through poetry.

A Knight's Nightmare

The sky looks so gloomy today
Raindrops doesn't stop falling
The wind is so strong by the bay
Behind the clouds, the sun's hiding

The flowers all seem to wither
The water on the river is dry
Birds no longer chirp with the wether
Like life seems to be just a lie

But I don't understand
It keeps on raining nonstop
But everything's dry as the sand
Leaving no signs of a raindrop

I have done everything I could
Spent sleepless days and nights
If I were given more, I still would
So I don't have to give up this fight

I feel so down and hopeless
Deep inside's none but depression
Everything looks meaningless
I need a taste of satisfaction

I guess the world's all messed up
Is it the world or just my life?
Happiness no longer fills my cup
But sadness that cuts like a knife

I lost everything in this war
Everything but my dear stallion
I wish he can still run and take me far
Because I knew he's one in a million

Should I give in?
Pretend I don't care?
Should I give up?
And fall into this nightmare?

No, 'cause I'm a knight within
And I'll never give in, never give up
Whatever keeps me from winnin'
I'll always keep my hopes up

I'm Not Sure If...

I'm not sure
If all the time here on earth
Is enough to spend with you
I'm not sure if the world
Will be enough to travel with you
I'm not sure if my hands
Are wide enough to offer you the biggest hug
I'm not sure if my body
Is warm enough to comfort you
I'm not sure if my lips
Are sweet enough to give you the sweetest kiss
I'm not sure if my heart
Is big enough to give you all the love you need
I'm not sure if my words
Are enough to tell you how much I love you

But one thing is sure
My love is enough to make you feel loved

Unan

Nakakalungkot, gabi nanaman
Nasaan na kaya ang aking malambot na unan?
Isang araw nanaman ang nakalipas
Ngunit sa lungkot ng kahapon, ay di makaiwas

Nangungulila parin sa'yo aking sinta
Gabi gabi'y nakadungaw ako sa bintana
Hanggang kailan nga ba maghihintay
Sa araw na tanging ikaw ang taglay?

Tuwing gabi'y nais kang mahagkan
Ang iyong mga labi, nais kong mahalikan
Sa halip, pangungulila'y sa aking unan naibabaling
Upang makatulog lamang ng mahimbing

Certainty in Uncertainty

He is the one who keeps me inspired everyday
Just a text message from him, all bad vibes go away
We've been through a lot for the past years
We shared sadness and joy, laughter and tears
Our plans for the future are already secured
All the trials and problems, we're ready to endure

I never even thought a man like him would exist
He is the type I just couldn't resist
He may be that I-am-always-in-trouble type of guy
Yet he gives that wink and smile that reaches the sky
He says for him I was perfect
That it's my beauty within that reflects

He may seem so far away from me
But when I close my eyes, he's all I see
He painted my life with the colors of the rainbow
With him by my side, I never feel low
In his arms, I never have to worry
And that I will never be sorry

Just like fireworks he took my fears away
I promised that for as long as he wants, I'll stay
Yes, we're apart and must stay in touch
But this only made me love him so much
I miss him every second, every minute, every hour of the day
And I know he feels that same too anyway

I really hate it when he acts cold like the ice cream
But with his sweet nothings, my heart would scream
I love the way he tickles me
'Cause I know it's my laughs and smiles he wants to see
During my bad days he makes me laugh
In his jokes I just can't get enough

When he chats with other girls
I want to straighten his curls! XD
I want him to flirt to no one but me
He gave me his honesty and loyalty
Missing him is such a terrible feeling
Day by day, the pain is only increasing

He made me hold onto his words and promises
Promised to give me more hugs and kisses
He's the only one who made my feel this way
My heart doesn't want him to go away
So, the question is, "Is he the one?"
Well, I guess the answer is YES, he is the ONLY one.
