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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Better to Let it Go

Love needs to be flourished

not be wasted away.

Respect and trust make it blossom

every single day.

Love is not selfish nor wicked 

never egoistic and narrow

Any relationship will fail...

then parting ways will follow.

One Heart, One Soul

Love can be expressed in countless ways

Some would show it distinctly

While others just do it beyond notice.

Whatever the means will be..

accepting the person's goodness and imperfections

will make a difference.

Love is not about having similarities

or common fondness and likes

It's about the inner sense of oneness despite diversities.

Starting Over Again

When we fall, we feel pain.

When we fail, we feel hopeless

Love may end in many reasons...

and starting over may take a while.

If we tried hard but still we lose

If we cried out all but still we suffer

Love may deserve a second chance 

if fate allows, it will happen.

Forget the past that causes pain

Savor the present that makes memories

Look beyond tomorrow...

Old love may never rekindle but a new one may begin to flame.

Love in Action

It's not enough to say you love a person

Words will not prove it until actions are done.

It's not enough to thank a person

Gratitude comes from an unpretentious soul.

It's not enough to give praises

Doing right is different from doing good.

It's not enough to have pure love

without a pair of hearts that beat as one.

Love and Pride

When it comes to LOVE, 

we are victims of our own judgments and decisions. 

We only hear our own sentiments 

and never listen to what other's may say. 

Listening to understand 

is different from listening to respond. 

If only we have the heart 

to let pain be the strength to accept 

and let love weaken our pride... 

no wall can ever go between two people 

who desire to live life together... forever.

Quotes by SIMPLYMARRIMYE

"In any relationship, when pride steps in, 

don't close the door of your heart 

to let understanding overpower the ego."

"Commitment is a lifelong gift of a loving heart."

"If you think you've already given your all ... think again.

The relationship won't work if you have nothing

left for yourself."

Quoted Photographs

"If only LOVE is as naive and innocent as these young hearts do,

LIFE will never be complicated."

If Nobody Discriminates...

Our world is an open avenue

open for opportunities

communications and possibilities.

There is freedom...

freedom of self expression

Let your voice be heard... speak out your emotions.

A Special Surprise on Valentine's Day

Valentine presents from our 3 precious jewels

Gifts come in small or big packages.

They may be costly or cheap

but whatever size or price 

the presents may have...

there's no importance to such

because it's the thought that 

weighs so much.

Valentine's Day is not only 

for couples or partners to share

but is more of a day for giving 

LOVE 

and receiving it.

Flowers and chocolates are being offered

 to make this day complete.

"Sikreto ng Matagal na Pagsasama"

SIKRETO ba ika mo,

Meron nga ba?

Sa palagay ko... 

WALA

pero may mga paraan 

upang ito'y maisakatuparan.

Depende sa dalawang 

nagdesisyong magsama

sa hirap o ginhawa

sa lungkot man o saya.

Meron bang "formula"

ang wagas na pagmamahalan

at walang hanggang suyuan?

Babae ba ang nagdadala

o ang salitang

FAITHFUL

ang dapat na sangkap para

mapanatili ang tamis at sarap.

Miles Away

The future is promising

And blessings are abundant

Working hard to provide

Even it means being away... miles away from home.

There are moments of joy

We're not able to share

There are moments of worries

With no shoulder to cry on.

There are times of sickness

I feel not your warmth

But I have to be strong

for our kids and their future.
