Nobody's Perfect

To win pride over 

humility is plain 

hypocrisy

What is more difficult

 than to cleanse ones heart 

with hate and anger…

 to wash out overflowing pain 

and leave agony behind 

No such being can keep 

a faultless life.

Only a lucid conscience 

will survive and prevail.

Equality

Understanding the world that is 

far different from the ordinary 

demands openness of mind 

and full acceptance of the fact 

that we all have the same right of existence...

Bed of Thorns

Expecting, waiting, dreaming...

Love is so cruel that brings agonizing pain.

True Love

It is deeper than words.

It can be easily experienced but hardly defined.

You know it when you feel it.

It is indeed the greatest emotion of all.

Destiny

Where do you belong?

Where are you heading?

Are you taking the road less traveled

or the path with curves and hurdles.

Are you happy and contented

or are you lost and worn out?

Don't keep chasing the wrong dreams

Luck cannot be won but hard work will pay off.

Do you know yourself enough

or do you wear a deceiving mask?

If you wish for a life worth living...

be reminded of the footprints in the sand. 

Beginnings may have endings
But life is a journey...
that starts with a single step
until you reach the the goal you most deserved.

Emotions Written by Hand

Pen and paper

on top of your desk.

Thoughts are yet

to surface

and words are

filling up the

blank piece.

Your mind is telling

what your heart contains.

Sadness, joy

gratitude, sorrow

or maybe fear

excitement and thrill.

Every stroke of your hand

conveys your innermost.

It's something much

more meaningful

and romantic.

A letter written by hand.

a treasure to keep...

A memory of sentiments

marked with the ink

of your heart.

Wake Up Call

When our life is being threatened

we need protection and security.

When our home is being invaded

we need stability and unity.

When our health is being jeopardized

we need to recover and rehabilitate.

When our mind is being depleted

we need faith and resurrection.

When our heart is being broken

we need comfort and relief.

Only when we reach our lowest point

that we learn to kneel and cry for help.

Dreams. Pain. Time

i couldn't help but remember him...

his every part.

from head down to his favorite shoes.

i couldn't help but miss him...

everywhere.

from that spot he used to wait

to that chair he used to sit.

i couldn't help but think of him...

over and over.

from the time i wake up

till i close my eyes.

how could i possible discard all memories

if all thing around...

remind me of him?

how could i forget him...

and let go of the feelings

if my heart still couldn't take it?

how could i rescue myself

from drowning in tears

if my eyes never stop weeping?

Blue Isn't Sad At All

Blue is the color of the sea 

reflecting the sky

We see the beauty of day... 

so promising

We see the wonder of the beach... 

so inviting.

The sand is smooth 

yet blazing hot

It welcomes any soul 

to be cuddled and embraced.

There's euphoria and hope

upon looking up

It's brightness constantly glares

The atmosphere is an Arcadia of bliss

We wish it will never fade...

and never disappear.

We are sad when we feel blue 

but not in this case

The color means... 

seeking peace and tranquility

It's nostalgic, persistent and determined.

LIKE Poles Attract

LIFE is not only 

a mixture of

sweet and sour

liquid and solid

high and low

smooth and rough

MAN and WOMAN...

but anything in between

is no longer unusual.

Why do some people prefer something different? We all have choices to make. We are born with own distinct identities and as we develop into an adult capable of knowing and reasoning, we are exposed to an environment with extremely wide variety of values, social norms, rules of conduct, customs and practices. As human beings, we have the desire to understand every aspect of the world we live in. Our natural curiosity of the many things around us will lead us to defining our own self and bring us to a journey of limitless exploration.

Who are we? What are we?

These questions now lie beneath the realm of self individuality.

The discussion of gender preferences are predominantly articulated for centuries by philosophers, religious leaders and writers. From ancient times to today, there are countless reasons and diversity of opinions regarding the theories of engaging to same gender relationships.

To live life as how we desire to live it.

Nowhere To Find

We've been to many places

have met people along the way.

We've heard some good stories

and weathered some bad days.

The past is no longer visible

yet remained in our reverie

It has brought weeps of sorrow

and tears of pride and glee.

Our hearts may keep seeking

the love that is lost.

The quest may take a lifetime

we have to pay what it costs.

You have loved and failed...

but whatever reason is behind such struggle

you have to keep your heart alive

even the search has come full circle.

"Are You Tired Enough?"

How many times 

do you have to keep saying...

"It's over!"

but your heart can hardly 

bear the loss.

How many times 

do you have to believe in 

promises...

when trust is gone and words are doubtful?

How many times

do you have to give up and

turn your back

if your heart overpowers your mind?

How many times

do you have to be beaten

and bruised

before you surrender and give up the fight?

Maybe, you never get enough of

love and hurt

until you are emotionally 

drained, exhausted and tired.

Looking At The Brighter Side

I know it's been a while...

Things changed but for the better.

Some are not meant to unfold

yet there are good ones that happened.

I lost track but now I'm back.

Hoping for the best to come.

I wish to forget the past...

keep the faith and move forward...

I've never been so passionate

to write what's on my mind...

This time I want  greener crops

that will bring abundance...

Retrospect

The beauty of life may come in handy

Morning brings new hope and fresh starts

As we open our eyes... we gaze upon sunrise

As we sleep at night... we glance at moonlight.

Look around... a brief smile may capture your soul

A vivid retrospect flashes back from a distance

Leaving a shadow of someone in your past

An awakening of the mind... made you deaf and blind.

Light is what you see when darkness subsides

Now you can seek whatever  had been lost

Let the wounds be healed by the passing of time

It's your turn to restore, recharge and regain to finally relieve the pain.

The Bridge Of Life

The bridge of life may be strong or weak

It may be high but never too low

It may be long but never too short

We start in one end...to reach the other side.

It is a journey to a destination

We keep going without obstacles

We may halt, if something hinders.

It needs support to carry the weight of heavy loads.

The bridge of life may collapse or fall

When its foundation is shaky and unstable

It may break apart and leave us hanging

With nothing to hold... but only faith to lead the way.

"We'll cross the bridge when we get there."

Whatever kind of bridge we have in our life

If we remain firm and determined...

No bridge is long or weak enough to make us stumble down.

I'm in Cloud 9

The reasons why I'm in cloud 9

Beyond happiness is what you feel

when you're in cloud 9

It's like you're floating on air

and you wish to stay there forever

Living a life in comfort and wealth

brings an extreme euphoria

but  a castle is an empty place

without a loving king and queen to embrace

Life is Colorful

My youngest son made this canvass

If you will just look at it,

different colored lines are entangled

Like LIFE, 

it's simple yet complicated.

We live in a world 

where black is black and white is white.

It's how we see the color of life… 

our own life.

Sometimes, it’s blue…

We are sad and regretful

There are times, 

we’re in flaming red…

We feel passionate and aggressive

We always hope 

for greener pasture

Abundance in any aspect

But life will never be constant.

Change is inevitable 

and time is moving fast-forward.

If we are slow, we'll be left behind.

The colors may change

but how we spend every moment of life

is what truly matters.

The choice is ours...

It's how we paint our own canvass

Broken Vow

Expectation comes with love

Whether we admit it or not we tend to hope for things to happen

You promised me a bed of roses
but thorns are scattered beneath our sheets.

You promised me the stars in the sky
but I always see them every time you punch my face.

You promised that you'll never leave me
but now, I'm alone and miserable.

You promised me love everlasting
but you broke my heart and crushed it into pieces.

Your every promise is a broken vow
that never should I believed at all.

Forgiveness

Indeed, to forgive is hard

and sometimes we cannot give it overnight.

Some people may need more time...

more courage to heal the wounds of the past.

It's a decision to make...

a choice that will set us free from the chains of hate and anger.

GOD's Intervention

Failures may come any time

and hit us out of nowhere.

They may defeat us

and put our lives in shame.

They may blow our mind

and eat up our sanity.

They may bring us frustrations

and leave us in total despair.
