Poetry anyone?

Why come with me to my darkened sea?
The pit of all despair is what you see?
The waters' depth, but no end.
Do you think I would unknowingly lead a friend?

I know you don't want to go deep,
Yet, further into this dwarfing darkness we creep.
Is it out of mischief, or just plain interest?
It is you, not I, who will not go to sleep.

Still, I follow you, only out of concern.
My heart wants to go back to the surface,
but, without you, it will yearn.
My heart grows accustom to this new and profound land.
I start feeling lonely and reach for your hand.

The pressure is too high; you are running out of air.
You scramble to the surface, but do not find me anywhere.
I'm in the waters below, searching for you.
Why did you run away, why did you desert me, too?

As my heart- as my anchor, I stretch and I reach,
only to realize I'm drowning. Can't you see that I'm frowning?
I have no where to go, no where to hide.
I guess I can go to that empty feeling inside.

I hope you are enjoying what life has to offer,
what life has to give.
Understanding what you have done to me,
don't you think... I want to live?

As time passes on, I think of you often.
I remember you making my heart grow stronger,
wishing we would have lasted a bit longer.
But my heart begins to lose consciousness,

I begin to push and shove
in anger that you didn't want to swim longer
and find the hidden cave of love.
As I die, crying you name, my heart loses its weight,
bringing me to the surface, my body is stiff and straight.

I float to the shore; people see me and begin to ignore
the very fact that I once had a love,
a dream, a goal, something to look forward to.
The tide goes away, it leaves me there to lay,
only waiting for the next day... when I find you.

how many lost memories
are sucked down into
that cesspool of madness
and despair

perilious journeys littered
with eyes weathered
in pain and agony
watching life pass by

what should matter
are the feathers that one carries
to the grave
unfettered by worldy inhibitions

and how must you carry
the burden of love
that nourishes you
to be slaughtered in the end

you die unknowing of the hurt
because all your memories are gone
as you take that journey
down under for love

my eyes widened
i never saw the sun set before me
i felt cold
i turned around... though i usually don't
my hand felt numb
but i must go on
rain fell, still i haven't rest
can't feel the rain pouring
can't even see the sun setting

what rain?
what sunset?
i'm only looking at myself

GURL POEM

A poem for us...

I shave my legs,
I sit down to pee.
And I can justify
any shopping spree.

Don't go to a barber,
but a beauty salon.
I can get a massage
without a hard-on.

I can balance the checkbook,
I can pump my own gas.
Can talk to my friends,
about the size of my ass.

My beauty's a masterpiece,
and yes, it takes long.
At least I can admit,
to others when I'm wrong.

I don't drive in circles,
at any cost.
And I don't have any problem,
admitting I'm lost.

I never forget
an important date.
You just gotta deal with it,
I'm usually late.

I don't watch movies,
with lots of gore.
Don't need instant replay,
to remember the score.

I won't lose my hair,
I don't get jock itch.
And just cause I'm assertive.
Don't call me a bitch.

Don't say to your friends,
oh yeah, I can get her.
In your dreams, my dear,
I can do better!

Flowers are okay,
but jewelry's best.
Look at me idiot...
Not at my chest?

I don't have a problem,
with expressing my feelings.
I know when you're lying,
you look at the ceiling.

Don't call me a GIRL,
a BABE or a CHICK.


I am a WOMAN.

Get it?! you dick!?!

[glimpse]

You changed my world with a blink of an eye
That is something that I can not deny
You put my soul from worst to best
That is why I treasure you, my dearest

You just don't know what you have done for me
You even pushed me to the best that I can be
You really are an angel sent from above
To take care of me and shower with love

When I'm with you I will not cry even a single a tear
And your touch have chased away all of my fear
You have given me a life that I could live worthwhile
It is even better everytime you smile

It so magical those things you've made
To bring back my faith that almost fade
Now my life is a dream come true
It all began when I was loved by you

Now I have found what I am looking for
It's you and your love and nothing more
Co'z you have given me this feeling of contentment
In my life something I've never felt

I wish I could talk 'til the end of day
But now I'm running out of things to say
So I'll end by the line you already know
"I LOVE YOU" more than what I could show

the day hope was born
was also the day that so many of us died..
unable to see the streak of light
that wud b able to cure our illnesses,
our angst, our confusion...our fear
our emptiness..
twas jz minutes between its birth and our death
a painful synapse in time...

but then, a voice hollered out to the dead,
"sleep tight, children of the night
for tomorrow you'll wake up knowing
what you wanted to know,
will feel what you've been wanting to feel
and live according to how you should..
tomorrow will begin forever,
and forever will be but a dream.."

Let the past be a dim distant star
in the universe of your life,
shining softly in predawn light
with the thousand other stars of who you are.
Let memories be gentle in your heart touching you lightly,
a spider's web caressing your face
on an early morning walk down a wooded trial,
just as the sun comes to show your way.

Let the future be morning`s sharp cool air,
a new breath for this bright day
that enters your body and awakens your soul,
as you walk on from a shadowed still valley
to join the mountain in vivid sunrise...
Let now be the breeze born of light and warmth,
warm air of the sun playing with the cool of night
tickling soft new leaves and bring
stars of day the play in a crystal stream

Dance in it... Live in it... Love in it!!

just today in the corner of my mind
i saw you walking, smiling..
should it had just been peripheral vision,
it wouldnt really matter coz
i believe i saw that sweet curve on your lips
...the most comforting thing that happened to me today...

but lifting you up had not been that easy
i never thought you were so heavy and stubborn
but now you're spreading ur own wings,
and the air is nothing but a playground for you...

today has been great
i saw you smile at the back of my mind,
and it pleased me more than ten thousand flying kisses would ever do...

[SAUL]

pain is th essence of this life..
i found ...oopps naa ni tawag ...kaon sa ko sa pantry..oops unya na lang..oi con call d-ai...

Oh, when I was in love with you

OH, when I was in love with you,
Then I was clean and brave,
And miles around the wonder grew
How well did I behave.

And now the fancy passes by,
And nothing will remain,
And miles around they ’ll say that I
Am quite myself again.


by E. Housman (1859–1936). A Shropshire Lad. 1896.
