Kismet

She always wants to be alone and sits under the mango tree behind their school. She writes poems and letters about love. With a pencil, a notebook, and her heart bursting out her feelings and emotions for the boy she's yet to find.

He always walks by the mango tree behind their school building, watching her. Wondering what is it that she's writing. With a pencil, a notebook, and his heart bursting with imagination, sketching the face of the girl he always sees but never saw.

And then one day, their eyes met.

She found him, and he finally saw her.

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
