I’LL STILL BE FREE

Someday you’ll be gone,

My heart, it’ll find a way,

And realize what you have done,

But I know it’s not today.

You’ll be forgotten,

My mind it’ll find a way,

And realize I’ve mistaken,

There is got to be a way.

And I still believe,

That I will still be free,

From all the memories that thieve,

Our future I wouldn’t see.

I’ll still be free soon,

From your voice and your song,

That make the sun go ‘round the moon,

Make it shine but not for long.

Though it cheers a bit,

Though I need your kisses,

I will learn to live without it,

Though my soul really misses.

Inside I’m dying,

Like, in a cage, a dove,

Can’t help it, I’m always crying,

I’m a pris’ner of your love.

And now here’s the deal,

It will all fade away,

But please let love take time to heal,

‘Cause I know it’s not today.

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU

Dark are those that cloud,

Yet the rain’s stopped falling,

Flocks chirp as smiles are on the crowd,

The birds are again flying.

Baby leaves blossom,

As verdant as the air,

While drops depart from the bosom,

Of the greener leaves in pair.

They touched the sunlight,

And they dried slowly.

As the scars in my heart felt right,

And relieved the aches solely.

Sometimes you do not,

Sometimes you cross my mind,

Wond’ring if you miss me a lot,

Or our ties you did unbind.

I cannot go back,

And it doesn’t matter,

Let it rain and ignored your lack,

Heard your reasons, whatever.

All I care about,

Now is “How do you do?”

No more colors or any doubts,

I would love to hear from you.

I won’t hesitate,

To wave to you “Hello!”

Though you get pleasure from your date,

I’d behave with a halo.

I wish you so well,

Don’t want to defriend you,

With sunshine, I would like to tell,

Keep smiling and welcome anew.

No, no bitterness,

Or any anguish inside,

What I feel for you now is less,

Like dry leaves, it almost died.

The rain’s stopped falling,

And cummuluses puff,

Trying to stop my hurting,

Though what I’ve been though is tough,

Baby leaves blossom,

Verdant and are not blue,

While aches depart from my bosom

I would love to hear from you.

AFTER YOU HAVE GONE

After you have left,

After you have gone, gone,

My life’s melody has turned deft,

No music has been done, done.

My song ain’t finished,

Lyrics are not complete,

But how would it be accomplished?

Only your words are concrete.

It goes better with you,

Words of inspiration,

Expressive lines, tender and true,

Filling my heart with passion.

Always out of tune,

Can’t we try, one more time?

A chance in a springtime in June,

To bloom some flowers and rhyme.

My life’s been empty,

It has lost its meaning,

Tranquility has gone petty,

The harmony is missing.

After you have left,

After you have gone, gone,

My life’s melody has turned deft,

No music has been done, done.

If the notes were sad,

How could I get along?

It’s like an out-of-tune ballad,

‘Cause in my life, you’re the song.

WHO AM I TO JUST DONT GIVE A DAMN AT YOU?

Here I am again thinking of you… I'm reminiscing about the two of us… The joy it brings when we're together but without hands clasped tight. No, we never did that.

I looked into your eyes and you looked into mine. I try to tell you something. Something that I should not say and something that I must not express. But it is also something you love to hear from me. And in that silent moment, we both see through the thought that is meant by those stares. That's how we got along.

Most of the time, you say you're tired with the hassles the day has brought you. You can't escape them. It is part of your daily life. But they have all gone when I caress you. Every time I impressed you with a shit, it makes me smile. I'm the only person who ever impressed you that way. And I'm happy for that knowing that you appreciate my being.

Aside from those, I also smile whenever I remember the idea of you feeling safe when with me. The way you slow down, wait and try to walk with me whenever you noticed that you are too ahead of me while walking on the street or me whenever I'm too ahead of you. Either way makes you feel safe for no reason at all, just because we are together.

We also have some fights but not huge. It should not be.

And in those fights, I thought of letting you go. I said to myself that letting go of you would prove how much I care for you. But the other side of me is saying that, "why let you go? Nothing was lost for nothing becomes mine." I think that is so true. You were never mine at all. I could hardly stand the pain that there would never be you and me. And for that matter, I would rather make friends with you again than losing you at all.

Now, it is all over. I'm happy this way. I hope you are too. There is no regret for my side. There is nothing to regret for.

Just always remember that whoever may be the most important person in my life, in any given time, you are just as important as that person to me.

Before, I used to tell you that perhaps we could never be friends again. You are correct that it is just me who believes and tries not to make us friends anymore. But then we have proven that my thinking was wrong. It was wrong because now we are back again on our amicable conversations and childish games. And if God permits that, who am I to just don't give a damn at you?

But now, here we go again. Doing things that I'd thought we would never do again. I do not know why!

 

Perhaps, it is because they are things that need to be explained for they are better left explained. There are also things that need no explanation for they are better left unexplicated. That is just because life has mysteries that we have to go through. That is why not everything that we seek can be found, and not everything that we ask for can be given.

And if those unexplicated stuffs that happened to us are of those that need no explanations, then I won't ask for any reason, who am I to just give a damn at those?

13 ALL I NEED IS YOU

Every day was sad,
But no one is to blame,
All day, all night the world is bad,
Until in my life, you came.
 
All I want is you,
Here in my world that’s weak,
With your warm arms not around me,
Oh, cold nights would make me sick.
 
I wanna hug you,
And feel your fingertips,
To cheer up my world that’s blue,
You just kiss my tender lips.
 
Sweet kisses from you,
Surely make me feel strong,
For living a life without you,
Thick loads, to me they belong.
 
All I need is you,
On you my love I lay,
My hugs, kisses, my soul, oh so,
Please say, in my life, you’ll stay.

12 LOVE IS

Love is so selfish,
According to others.
You would get wicked and foolish
Just to be sure it matters

Love for me is kind
It isn't really rude
It also can see, it's not blind
In rejoicing with the truth.

It's not self-seeking,
Love is so generous,
Neither proud nor overwhelming
Love's patient and not envious

.

Love, it always hopes,
And never gives up
Love always protects then it trusts
And eternally holds up.

11 I HEART YOU

Many still resist,
But it’ll surely insist,
Pick one and despair will desist,
Or the symptoms shall persist.

So I singled out,
It’s you I care about,
Like a gardener to his sprout,
Protected without a doubt.

No one can replace,
It is you I embrace,
Kind soul with an attractive face,
In my heart, you have a trace.

I heart you my dear,
Until the end is near,
Until there’s no vodka or beer,
Promise, your heart I’ll not tear.

Many words to say,
All in the game we play,
Come with me and in love let’s stay,
‘Til forever and a day.

10 YOUR SMILE

My days are bright and seem to be endless,
From the joy of a true companion bless.
You make me smile and cry a tear or two,
Over the worst things we would ever do.
 

 
You lift me up when I’m feeling down,
And bring me something but without a frown,
You show me that the world always goes round,
Bring to light the many good things around.
 
Though uncertainty is yet to be felt,
When trust and devotion begin to melt,
In times of hardships, we’ve seemed to be tough,
But with just your smile, oh, those are enough.

09 SAY MY NAME

No. it’s not the same,
Uttering “I love you,”
I’m appeased hearing my name,
After the phrase, please redo!

Spell it out to me,
To add a little flame,
While fighting for the love’s glory,
I want you to say my name.
 

 
Wreck my defenses,
Whisper into my ear,
Inspire my faltering senses,
It’s your voice I want to hear.

Until the day breaks,
Turn your sigh into fire,
Release it to resist the aches,
Darlin,’ express your desire.

Say my name out loud,
No one cares if you yell,
Our souls take flight to the ninth cloud,
Leaving paints from vivid hell.

Above perfect ten,
High passion I adore,
I am adjudging plain often,
So say my name three times more.

08 NO ONE ELSE KNOWS

Oh, no one else knows,
But the earth that revolves,
That its rotation merely slows,
When my love for you evolves.

You give my day light,
Each day with you is fun,
You give shine to my stars at night,
I’m like the earth, you’re my sun.

Oh, no one else knows,
But the water that runs,
To the sea, every river flows,
When a vision of you stuns.

As deep as the sea,
I fall like clear rain,
My love for you is meant to be,
A marvel I can’t explain.

Oh, no one else knows,
But the vivacious fire,
That I get emotional glows,
When you beam me with satire.

With you I kindle,
And I can keep you warm,
As charming as a miracle,
With open arms, with no harm.

Oh, no one else knows,
But the wind that whistles,
With alluring daydreams in rows,
In the air, we built castles.

Torments you exhale,
I’d blow it all away,
I wish I was the air you inhale,
We’ll get through, in God I pray.

I’ll be the water,
And fire at the same time,
The wind and the earth not later,
‘Cause loving is so prime.

But no one else knows,
Each day this passion grows,
I hope that my affection shows,
Or be living in sorrows.

07 I AM BY YOUR SIDE

I am by your side,
When you feel weak inside,
If ever failure will betide,
You’ll see I will never hide.

You can count on me,
When you feel like gloomy,
That heart of yours will come to see,
That you will be here with me.

When you need a hand,
Like a stone in the sand,
I am the one to understand,
Pick you up and make you stand.
 

I am by your side,
When you feel lost inside,
If in life you can hardly ride,
You will see someone will guide.

Oh, I will be there,
And make your days brighter,
For I am your ,well-wisher,
I am by your side, ever.

06 I WANT TO SEE YOU

I want to stare at 

Your EYES that are tempting 

I feel something shivers in me 

While they do slow winking. 

I do want to sight 

Your pretty, pretty NOSE 

Looking at it makes my day bright 

While it takes away my woes

I want to look at 

Your attractive red LIPS 

Eyeing at those makes me feel hot 

Thirsty to lick, taste their nips

Always, every day 

I want to see you 

Your aura that's so appealing 

It just makes me go "Ohh, Ohh"

05 I'M NOT YOURS

You can hold my hands,
If they really fit yours,
Tie ‘round my wrist precious bands,
Those with dynamic colors.

 My spirit behaves,
While your heart endeavors,
Turn my sweet fingers into slaves,
But think back that I’m not yours.

As the cold wind blows,
I’ll let you hug me tight,
While the biggest southern star glows,
In this starry, starry night.

Ask my permission,
My lips, I’ll let you kiss,
Don’t miss my amorous actions,
Come on and bring me to bliss.

But don’t get me wrong,
Teasing is what we call,
To anyone, I don’t belong,
I don’t mean to make you fall.

Kindly shake my hand,
Gimme five in the end,
I’m not yours, please understand,
‘Cause to me, you’re but a friend.

04 LOOK ME IN THE EYES

Say it to my face,
If the feeling is gone,
Please don’t linger this lonely pace,
If it diminished to none.
 

Take time to tell me,
That you don’t need me now,
The last to know, don’t let me be,
I’ll forget you, I’ll let how.

I thought we were cool,
I guess I was wrong,
Don’t try to treat me like a fool,
The agony, don’t prolong.

Do me a favor,
One thing is all I ask,
Your honesty and nothing more,
Admit it without a mask.

Look me in the eyes,
Disclose to me the truth,
If every day your fondness dies,
I’d embrace the downcast sooth.

I will be just fine,
Maybe we don’t belong,
I’ll wait for the one that is mine,
For right love to come along.

03 WHEN IT'S OVER, IT'S OVER

No more rousing calls,
Or fancy quotes from you,
Silence echoing on the walls,
Staring at the phone till two.

Even for a while,
I long to hear thy voice,
Our distance as stretched as a mile,
Doesn’t hold a second choice.
 

I communicate,
Disconnect peace and war,
Pull the moon and emancipate,
But there’s no falling star.

I can’t help but weep,
So say a li’l prayer,
Help me accept before I sleep,
When it’s over, it’s over.

To the twenty-first,
I wish I could go back,
Vivid colors that quenched the thirst,
Now have turned to gray and black.

02 SOMETHING ABOUT YOU

There’s something about you,
That makes me feel hot,
Sends shivers inside me,
And thrills me a lot.

Every time I see you,
My heart skips a beat,
There’s something about you,
That brings me in heat.

Your presence in the aisle,
Or maybe your smile,
Sails me to River Nile,
Even for a while.

Is it the glow that lies,
That blinds me so nice?
As bright as the sunrise,
The light in your eyes.

Cheeks as red as the rose,
Your attractive nose,
They urge me with my prose,
Like bliss is too close.

A beautiful soul,
Perhaps it stands me tall,
Jesse wants, I recall,
You rise above all.

I want to start anew,
I don’t have a clue,
But something about you,
Made me leave my boo.

01 WHISPERING VOICE

 I want to wake up,
And start a pleasant day,
So I’m filling my coffee cup,
That’s made from elegant clay.

But it’s incomplete,
My morning ain’t finished
Your whispering voice I can’t delete.
In my mind, it’s reminisced.

Inspired by your voice,
With a new poem it’s time,
Oh, Switchfoot plays and they rejoice,
While I’m scribbling proper rhyme.

I heard you I thought,
And so I turned around,
Surprisingly, I’d spotted nought,
Only sweet whispers rebound.

 As calm hours pass by,
I still hallucinate,
I hear your “Hello” and “Goodbye,”
And your sigh so intimate.

Darkness is rolling,
But your murmur maintains,
As the king of stars is hiding,
Behind forests and mountains.

Cool is the evening,
While I’m lying on bed,
Still your voice in my ear whis’pring,
Can’t get it out of my head.

Your voice on my mind,
And in my heart I keep,
In my dream your whisper I’ll find,
As I close my eyes to sleep.
