writing about cold days

grace

2008-06-23T23:04:00.002+08:00

i am above your still impressions
smiling at the sight of hearts in love.
this new flare,
is it worth your time?
i gave you so much
then you leave me behind.
the numbers
the figures
all amount
to nothing.
the pushing
the fighting
are beatings to noone
you don't even recognize my smile
and my heart any longer.
i am above you
with you
and a new flare
who seems to smile
a familiar one
a smile i see
each time i stare at myself
in your eyes.

not as cold anymore =)

the quiet is calm.
that's all i need..
the quiet.
the calm.
the sun is warm.
it's light
broken in the branches.
i love the touch of warmth on my skin.
that's all i need..
the soothe.
the warmth.
i remember her.
deep in the warmth of her arms.
in the calm of her hands.
the soothe of being next to her.
in the quiet of her memory.
i'll recover soon.
that's all i need right now..

the heart of God

2007-02-01T16:37:00.000+08:00

i hoped
for a lot of things.
share moments
with the ones that i love,
and fall in love.
the heat,
the conflict
is hurting me.
still i count my days
hoping for a lot a lot of things.
i tried to resist
but you're hard to battle,
harder still
to forget.
still lovely.
still the best of all the things i'm hoping for.
this will teach me
to wait further.
never to ask
if there really is forever..
i feel the battle
come to it's end.
down to the final people
i have to hold
and bury in memory.
i'll never regret
i'll never forget you.
i sought
for a lot of things.
to live suddenly
and die silently,
falling in love..

cloud

2006-11-20T12:01:00.000+08:00

i want to be a cloud..
a traveller..
a nomad..
a mask to a beautiful face..
a face filled with stars..
i wish to be blown away..
to places uncharted..
be purposeless..
yet commited to letting little kids imagine..
i want to be a cloud.
so i will never have to fall
deeply in love with ayone..

a ghost

2006-11-20T11:54:00.000+08:00

shuffling my feet over the waves of the sea..
newborn anthuriums stealing kisses from my hand..
they are the offsprings of winter
unmindful to the possibility of death
and the pain of loss..
tonight i'm a ghost..
a phantom in the moonlight..
relaying events
to an audience of stars and my reflection..
alone and bitter..
like her songs..
i listen to the music of the water crashing to stones..
and little pebbles making bautiful dropping sounds..
like a dive from the sky..
a plunge to the abyss..
my body will be a silohuette
when it touches the water..
slow to immerse..
unknown as love's departure..

we were both sojourners

2006-10-26T16:32:00.000+08:00

we stood
staring at each other.
with no words left to say
only tears and whimpers.
'it's almost time'
she said,
'but you will see me again.'
' will i really see you again?'
i asked.
'you don't have to wait'
she said,
'but you can always pray that you will.'
with that i held her words
and let go.
then she turned away,
still so beautiful
and faded slowly in the distance.

the silence of many

2006-10-22T14:57:00.000+08:00

all senses rivetting
the hand that saveth not bullets.
my God, such grace and power.
like flames to an arrow
the beginning of a new love.
envelop my heart in the sheath of thy mercy.
the willfull murders the skillfull
teach my feet to run.
to the final battle and the ages to come.
we wither like flowers
lose grace like orchids.
i am what i am because you chose to keep me.
your veil i will touch,
i will befall no evil.
the art of drawing near to Jesus.
open thine eyes
revere you in love.
two stars burning in the expanse of the sky.
with your love i forget her vouches.
i will fade like a dew in the morning and be forgotten.
memories ebb away
but never your promises.

the poetess

2006-10-18T23:29:00.000+08:00

with words you take me
with words i shatter.
so skillful and clever..
i drift like a feather
atop a stream of pleasant words.
this will take me nowhere,
but i heed anyway..
i'm sure there's nothing promising ahead.
i cannot be all the more concerned..
i'm not as skilled a writer as you are,
not as clever with words.
maybe that's why i stay afloat..
drifting quietly.
above your stream of pleasant words..

a laid back drive

2006-09-10T20:32:00.000+08:00

supressing the words i haven't said in years
i could feel our hearts race.
like galloping horses.
seeing you again
still not sure what to say.
days with you are always slow
and calming.
you haven't said a word yet
just busying yourself with the wind outside.
we pass by the park benches
where we'd sit for morning coffee's and jog home.
i glance at you from the corner of my eye
nothing's changed since.
i hear you sigh,
like a muted whisper of delight.
you still manage to warm one's heart,
like you always have.
now you're looking up the sky,
it's relieving to see you smile again in years.

Drop D for the one that i adore

2006-09-07T16:56:00.002+08:00

excited and all,
sparks all around the yellow and orange surroundings of your school,
an unwanted festival of strangers,
you make my heart leap.
a song,
plays in my head
as you walk by.
looking through the pearls of your eyes
there we have a conversation,
we exchange stories.
you're all around,
in my room,
and when i go out.
loving you is a no-brainer.
everything is dissipating like icing on left-over cake.
have i mistakenly forgotten what's delicate and what's never meant to be moved
or did i purposely touch on a non-beneficial subject?

the artist, the dancer

2006-09-06T22:05:00.000+08:00

you are pretty in that frame
your grace defines the night
dance away again.
your frail steps are queasy
beautiful, just sail
just move your feet,
leave me colorful trails.
and now i feel,
like walking away.
i feel,
like saying goodbye
to your eyes,
and everything you are.
but i know
that my heart
will always sing to you.
this hand will never tire,
and as much as it wants to rest,
it won't.
it forever will write
about the way
you easily move one's heart,
and how in-love i am with you.

my arms, your grasp, unending.

2006-09-01T22:43:00.000+08:00

i'll be home,
in just a while.
i'll wrap my arms around you.
slowly,
yet surely
i'll come home to you.
i left you waiting.
i've made up my mind
i'll be back,
leaving everything behind.
such a rush,
now i'm missing you.
so lost and tired,
i'm giving up.
i'm tired
still enamoured by your love.

the girl in my sleep

2006-06-23T20:19:00.000+08:00

we withered
so unexpectedly.
i caught a glimpse
of your eyes
an extension
of your memory.
until spring appears,
i will feel the same.
for the one
i know
i'm looking forward to.
i always see you in my sleep.
the girl
beneath
a flickering light
of hopeful promises.

she

2006-06-23T20:10:00.000+08:00

she passes you by
no need for so much words
she knows that you know what she wants to say
and she knows that you love it.
she sees you fake a smile
when she tries to ignore you sometimes
and she knows you'll never change
you'll be waiting for her,
she knows that you will
and she definitely knows how to keep a promise.
she's like a drop of rain in springtime
a shade when kids are playing
like a wish beneath a shooting star
she knows i'm always waiting.
she crosses your heart
your mind is filled with thoughts about her
you know she makes you swear to yourself
one day you'll take her out for coffee.
she crosses your mind
as your heart reminds you
that's why you fell eventually
and your heart knows that well.
she knows all your imperfections
still she thinks about you.
her voice is elsewhere
and you would like to be anywhere near it
just to hear her say,
just to hear her say.
and all this time she's owned your heart
and how it loves to be held by her loving and assuring hands.

around

2006-06-15T12:27:00.000+08:00

i can't be myself
whenever she's around
she makes me sigh
and smile
she breaks my heart to pieces..
rainy days are here
and i'll be thinking of her
all these words are not enough,
when the sun's not shining..
she seems farther with each moment she melts with the crowd..
i can't hold my breath when she's near
her hand is a mid-summer breeze brushing through my skin
like a voice in a field of tall grass and butterflies,
singing love songs
over and over..
one by one
these days will be done,
i'll move on only to find myself running back
to the one this weary heart is longing for..
she's still the hardest song to sing
so much that it pains my heart to hear her speak
whenever she's around..

my first post on my friendster blog (i changed the title though)

2006-06-12T11:14:00.000+08:00

winter

end this winter soon
you will then,
bloom with the flowers..
rest your eyes..
for a while..
i'll watch you unfold your thoughts in your sleep..
i stare at the water
it whispers quietly
your frozen aphorisms..
your smiles' reflection
on it's glassy surface
is a calming scene to a stranger..
someday,
the streams will have life again..
i'll find it once i see..
i'm sure i will..
we could always go back to the beginning..
as we were..
but for now..
life will be colder than usual..
