My poem got published in a textbook!

     Hey guys!  I'm BACK!

     Did anyone miss me? 

     To those wondering where I've been --  I went home to my province last March to celebrate my dad's birthday.  Mom said I should stay 'till Holy Week is over.  Then Mother's Day was approaching so I gotta be there too and  after that -- Father's Day.  And then, cousins having their vacation in the Philippines was also visiting.  March became April, April became May, May became June...  I was having so much fun until -- it's already July!

Heartaches -- A Sad Poem

     I finished the first five verses within two hours.  Then for wanting to make a positive ending, got stucked on the first line on the 6th verse.  I stopped and went back to it 15 minutes ago.  (The time is 10:24 PM now, March 06, 2011)

     So here it is, another figment from my clouded imagination.  To those who are suspecting that I'm going through something, I can neither confirm nor deny that.  You can only speculate. Bwahahaha!

     Have a great day!  I hope someone can relate to this humble piece of work.  Take care!

Heartaches...

How can love bring too much pain
When it's supposed to be a bliss
Why is it a hollowed life
An agony worse than death

Each time I close my eyes
I see just mem'ries of you
Then my weary heart just cries
How can love be so untrue

The world is vivid with life
But all I see are hues of gray
Every soul is full of hope
Still I'm lost in disarray

Just move on, I tell myself
Put a cogent happy face
Force a smile or sound a laugh
Hide the hurt thru all the haze

Dear fate, please, I beg of you
Lead my heart to someone's soul
Who'll look at me with eyes of love
And bring me pain no more

To Him I pray, heal my heart
Mend my broken self, make me whole
So I can be a worthy man
When the right one's at my door

Post Script:  This blog is still about looks.  Whatever season of life we go through, we need to have a look.  So go be sad, be happy or whatever, and choose your wardrobe appropriately.  Sometimes, it's how we carry ourselves that helps us cope.  *wink*

(FUCK) LOVE -- A Poem

     Madam President might've told me one time that poems are like biographies of some sort.  They mirror one's feelings and life's story.  I should believe her, she's an authority on that area having taught Literature for so many years and having written many books and pieces on the topic.  Anyway, I still argued that it's not entirely true and there are a few exceptions.  Just like now, I have written this poem out of spite. Or maybe out of depression.  Whatever.  Haha! Here it is!

(FUCK) LOVE

Love is the most complex of all nouns
It's the truth that tells of many lies
It's the joy that causes pain
The sun when you wanted most, the rain

Love is the most complex of all verbs
To love is to die a thousand death
To think when all you need is to feel
To wound when all you want is to heal

Love is the most complex figure of speech
How ironic are its metaphors and similes
Its paradox are such an understatement!
Its thoughts and meanings are bent

Love is the most complex of all words
It can mean the ocean, the skies, the trees
It is solitude, contentment and peace
Sadly, it is also fear, our pain and tears

Love is the reality that never exists
It's that dream which won't come true
It's the light which got lost in the dark
It's the winding road that has no stop

My heart sored with wounds, eyes dried of tears
My sorry would have lost its meaning
Fuck love -- i say, but for sure you know
My fragile heart just won't let you go
