Poetry anyone?

[<SMILE>]

---

why am I a slave when my heart speaks in front of you,
soundless words blank gazes silly smiles all hidden and always in lieu,
the burning ember of something wonderful melts my being in awe watching that eye with an almond hue,
trembling soul floating minds reveries of of a serene moment reality in adieu,

You own my every seconds of the day,
the thought of seeing you guides my journey placing it astray,
caught in your gossamer to be near you is where I always wish to stay,
blissful it would be to relinquish everything than losing a single moment without you it would be so dreary,

Why do I pluck those blossoms of implore,
to emulate it with such a beauty that I truly adore,
humbled still the rosy petals by such a facade only Aphrodite could claim and clamor,
prodding eve wishing that in her gardens I could find an equal an could explore,

Love is a play in five acts

Love is a play of five acts.
First:
It is an adjective, a multitude of descriptions,
a subject of teeming pictures.
And while it blossoms, it blooms
like a garden of flowers.
Second:
It becomes a noun, following the birth of each side,
a start of becoming new persons.
And while it personifies, it grows
into a mingling of meeting characters.
Next:
It becomes a verb, a succession of effortful actions,
love made into a visible entity.
And while it goes on, it burns
slowly into either of two directions.
Then:
It becomes an interjection, an exchange of outburst,
and a point of making or breaking.
And whether it is one or the other, it dictates
whether the next act is necessary.
(Otherwise, finally:
It becomes a question.)

"Reluctant Heart"

The first time I met you,
Seems like you're just a no-no,
But things twisted,
I found myself now hypnotized by your charms, boy.

Don't know what's gotten into me?
Why a sudden change of feeling?
Is this some kind of a joke?
Or a reality that sucks where my
heart is the one at stake?

Wish there's a way to escape from this actuality.
Coz I don't wanna fall for you,
Don't wanna think of you,
For I don't know if you'll gonna love me too.

Otap

I remember every intricate moment.
I see your hands needing, molding, shifting
I feel everything that’s been added
I remember feeling so delicate

A dash of cinnamon, a hint of tears
A sprinkle of sugar and a spoonful of emotion
Take one bite and hear the crispiness
Take another bite and you’ll feel all the madness

Pair it with coffee, bitter-sweet coffee
Smell the aroma of sweat building up
Hear the teaspoon clicking as you stir
Listen to the sound of heavy moaning

After everything all that’s left are the crumbs and shame
You stand up and take a bow and I keep my head down
You go start making the next batch of those delicious otap
And I, I simply become tainted.

[Rodrigo Busa]

I made this poem for my dad, I presented it to him on his birthday.

Small Tribute to my dad

When I was small, so wee and tender
I look up to him so tall oh such a wonder
his face lit up at the mere sight of me
it's as if I'm all he see

He toiled day and night for us his family
Caring not for fatigue bruise and weary
Armed with dreams for us he strived
Till his hair grew white, Un-dyed.

On this day you are now fifty-five
With your family, friends, and your "lovely" wife
Together we wish you a merry life
Happy Birthday! God Bless A well lived life.

"Dreamed Acceptance"

Im thinking of you every day and night
Though you're reluctance enveloped with might
My heart keeps on beating with desire
Like a shunshine in the meadow, makes me warm like in fire

I was wondering how and why
Im fully troubled and grasp a gentle sigh
My heart was broken hampered like a thunder
Time pass by makes me sober and sober
@xetorkaiba and @peacetalk give me comfort if you're there

How lucky I am as I could imagine
When we're together, it would surely be heaven
In my arms I'll embrace you with care
No one could touch, even mosquitoes dont dare

[xetorkaiba]

"Broken"

the love you offer
i'll cherish it forever
i'll always be here no matter
even if others will hamper

you promise to love me
but now where arth thee
you just left my heart wounded
and now it's shattered

the pain i receive
is what i deserve
i can never retreat
cause it's inevitable fate

it hurts like hell
that i can never go well
the feelings that i bear
seems i'll be holding it forever

[brilumz]

@xetorkaiba you're holding it forever?
seems it would not be the answer
Come to me and I would advice this help
Go to your room and do the "all by myself"

When done, dont hesitate to come back
Im sure you're terrified and shocked
How those aches gone anywhere
By simply making wet your underwear
