Why do they fight?
My soul cried in vain
How do I hide my fright?
Sometimes I wish they would bring light
Everyone has embraced pain
Why do they fight?
Many have suffered from sleepless night
afraid to see the soldiers gain
How do I hide my fright?
What can we do, what is our plight?
My heart is broken in twain
Why do they fight?
Just when I ponder if they are right
They lost their heart and brain
How do I hide my fright?
Countless innocents strive with might
Sorrow is filled like a train
Why do they fight?
How do I hide my fright?

Insurmountable Regrets
A blazing regret haunted me for years
Like a river of guilt pushed me to tears
Relinquished with solace, I'm left behind
Trapped in a pit, helpless and darkened mind
A thorny path unfolded, lost its veers.
Who could help me from this torment and fear?
Stunned my hopes and my dreams, nothing to cheer!
Regrets waxed my inner feelings, where’s divine?
A blazing regret…
Crumbling inside, struggling for better sphere
Words poisoned me, killed my nerves was it fair?
Rage emotions embraced my soul entwined
Poignant countenance, why you’re so unkind?
Winds of failure encompassed my primer
A blazing regret…

I Wish Families Are Forever
I Wish Families Are Forever
A silent small voice whispers my heart
“Families are forever” don’t you know?
I am surprised to know but loved to feel
‘Cause I have a family here to me so dear.
A family that loves, understands, and cares
Will you not miss if anyone bids farewell?
I wish love won’t just end in every grave
If it does, I will ask God why He creates love.
It is a solace to me knowing that someday
We will meet at Jesus feet with a family
“Welcome home, my son, my daughter!”
“I miss you too my mother, my father!”
A tender soft voice knocks in my heart
“Prepare your family and now is the time.”
I am excited to respond but love to hearken
I wish families would mean to last forever.

Are You Happy?
ARE YOU HAPPY?
“Happiness is not easy to find
But it’s not possible to find it elsewhere.”
That is what Agnes Repplier has said.
How do you find happiness within?
For me, “Happiness is a precious gift.”
Wherein it abides in us only if we permit
Be it known that our reason for existence
Is to have joy and all are fruits thereof.
Happiness is like a fragile white glass
As sweet as a new blossoming rose,
A sure feeling of tranquility and serenity
It is out of reach to most but a treasure to a few.
Are you happy? Don’t deceive yourself
Face your mirror and you’ll find an answer
Ask your heart and the beats of it will tell
Look into your eyes, the truth will set forth.
An inspiring song, “Count Your Blessings”
Says, ‘When you are discouraged thinking
All is lost, count your many blessings and
See what God has done.’ Isn’t it so great?
If you’re feeling down and lonely today
Sing with gladness and remember this song
Every doubt will fly and you’ll be fine
Happiness is restored and makes you whole.
Are you happy? Don’t answer it quickly
Ponder, meditate, and discover who you are,
What makes you happy is what matters most
For happiness can wait ‘til you’re ready.

Let It Rain
LET IT RAIN!
My heart sinks in sorrow
for you're no longer mine,
My mind dulls in confusion
for I'm not in your thoughts now.
Let it rain for a moment!
To freely shed my tears and pain.
Let it rain for eternity!
To vanish my weeping soul.
My heart cries for happiness
for sorrow wraps this whole life,
My mind dreams in true light
for a smile to refresh.
Let it rain, Oh let it rain!
To clean away my stains of guilt.
Let it rain, always let it rain!
To reclaim you back my love.

Waiting For You
WAITING FOR YOU
How long could I stay waiting for you,
Time runs so fast and I'm getting weary?
How many songs would I sing for you,
Just to relieve these immense feelings?
My eyes couldn't hold many tears
My heart might suffer and would sink.
How many dreams would I dream,
Just to fake myself you're here by my side?
I am waiting for you, oh please come back!
A hope that I would cling ‘til my last breathe,
Maybe I could see you in my mirrors of sadness
Then hold you tight and embrace you warmly.

I don't want
to cry
my eyes hold back the tears from falling,
to smile
I lost the luster to do it because of too much pain.
I don't want
to love
my heart is empty and has no feeling,
to hate
I'm clueless as to whom I will blame.
I don't want
to share
my poor soul is what I left for me,
to ask
everyone is closing their ears.
I don't want
to live
my world becomes upside down,
to die
for I don't know who am I.
In Your Eyes
IN YOUR EYES
Pain and misery
Embrace your sad, weary eyes
Tears start falling down.
Rage, vengeance, and guilt
Color your alarming mind
Seeking of justice.
Regrets and failures
Strike like lightning in your heart
Showing no mercy.
Where's your inner peace?
Why do you hide it with your swords
Of malice and death?
Your vague eyes painting
A breathless hope and luster
Waiting for sunshine.

Think Of Me
THINK OF ME
I am facing this mirror
naked to the truth that
you left me without a word
not even a shadow of yourself.
I am lying on our bed
searching for your hands
but found no traces even of
your fumes nor of your memories.
Think of me wherever you are
as I am thinking of you always.

Graduation
Graduation day comes at last
Refreshing the many years I've spent
Amaze to know that I gonna walk this aisle with
Dignity and pride that I did it
Under much pressure from my teachers and friends
Alas! I spend more than 100,000 hours of
Tutelage from this dear school
Interestingly, I laugh and cry seeing myself
On this stage receiving my diploma
Now where are the salutes and praises?

FEELING THE PINCH
Painful attempts I've tried
Interestingly none of them worked
Now, I must stay and go home.
Checking what's new in our house,
Happily they welcome me with pinches.

at least once in a year.
Yammi is a hardworking guy
he loves his girlfriend

I wish Yammi will come back
soon here in WDC and when
that moment comes, I will still cry.

who can cure this aching heart
It's my only hope.

Drowned By Betrayal
I felt the scorching of the sun
as I sit impatiently on a wooden chair.
My face unleashed the anger inside
hidden for long numb years.
Memories of hatred and distrust
overflowed my nerves as I felt
the ramblings of my fainting emotions
reflected in a mirror of bitterness.
Ambiguity and darkness became my companions
dictating me the chaos of deceit,
lurking deep inside the venom of my feelings
shrinking me to the bottom of torment and pain.
Where's the solace that once embraced me,
Why there's a dark cloud of thoughts disturbing?
Soon I found the ocean of guilt spitting its
waves of disappointment to my shadows of doubts.
In regretful tears I saw my lifeless body
floating in a dead river of loneliness,
thirsting for a place to rest away from
troubles, malice, and betrayal.

All My Life

All my life was spent
meaningless
hopeless
sadness
and tedious.
The morning to me was
dull
dark
unrefreshed
and a failure.
I spent my evenings with
nightmares
tears
headaches
and in fright.
Feelings of love to me were
regrets
agony
anguish
and betrayal.
How I wish I could
wake up one day
with full of spirit, invigorated
and with grateful heart.
Sadly I couldn't dream of these
because I slept for many long years
in this cold, silent, and lonely grave
indeed my life was spent nothing.

Because Of You
sun refuses to shine
stars lost thier glitters,
sky gathers dark clouds
I am with you 'til the end.
Even if our
world passes away
time stops to move,
ocean changes its course
I will always love you.
Because of you
I have the reasons to smile
My heart continues to beat,
I have the strength to live on
My soul delights in love.
Because of you
My life is filled with light
Tears take no place at all,
My days are prolonged
Death is not a sting anymore.

I'm Dying Inside
Poisoned words have killed my mind
Left me wandering to grasp for light,
Nowhere in place, so hard to find
Exhausted care, losing my might.
Left me wandering to grasp for light
I've been neglected in all my days,
Nowhere in place, so hard to find
Groping for spark of sunlight rays.
I've been neglected in all my days
Nothing left in me but unwanted gift,
Groping for spark of sunlight rays
I'm dying inside and begging a lift.
Nothing left in me but unwanted gift
I learned to accept this game of life,
That passion and thoughts have its shift
Courageous enough to face with strife.

Carnival
Can you see people in the throng?
They come and go with big smile.
Apparently they go to the carnival
To experience hilarious rides and shows.
Regardless of cold, frosty white snow,
Eyes are bewitched by coasters and slides.
Now ready for a family surprise treat,
Children are eager, pleased to wait.
Interesting lights and music fill the air,
Making a carnival a perfect season.
Vast of friends saying, "Hi and hello"
"Come with us, and let's have some fun!"
An annual gathering of tricks and games,
Most awaited by children and folks.
Laughing all the way, the cool carnival
Will be coming next year, horray!

By The Blue Sea
By the blue sea
I watch the beautiful sunset.
By the blue sea
I sip my cold, refreshing tea
Running, playing with sands, I bet
Searching my lover caused me fret.
By the sea.
Feeling her love
Flies me to the majestic moon.
Feeling her love
Helps me spread my wings like a dove.
Coming to her way very soon
Kissing her sweetly, is my boon.
Feeling her love.

Life's In Vain
Clothed in white apparel
Stood in the air waiting for someone.
To trap people in snare and be numbered as one
In weeping souls and shattered hopes were sadly gone.
Anguished soul with unbearable pain
Forever marked by stain
Life's in vain.

Grant My Wishes
An abounding love for me and for everyone
Where hatred is no longer a word or a feeling.
Be more forgiving and not easily provoked
Subsue my heart with Christ-like attitude.
To rise above the blue and possess inner strength
With this I will be happy and have contentment.
More wisdom with an understanding heart
By this I see everything in proper perspective.
Prioritize others if they are more needful than myself
In this way my patience is tested and improved.

A Ladder To Heaven
If I ever had a ladder to heaven
I would be there and ask everything
Knock on heaven's door and wonder,
To witness a concord of angels in praise.
If I ever had a ladder to heaven
I would be there each cool and clear night,
Eager to capture the moon and stars above
Standing in awe of these grand creations made.
If I ever had a ladder to heaven
I would look for the great and noble men,
Willing to learn from their endless wisdom
Follow well-trodden footsteps to be with them.
How I would these things will come
While I live, I know it couldn't be done
A ladder to heaven is just my sweet dream
Sweet dream coming true when life here is over.

Happiness glitters those with willing mind
Sadness haunts most in cruel intentions
Charity sparks bright to those who are kind
Greed stains one's soul with bitter emotions
Success radiates those who follow their paths

Life crowns those men having hope and glory
Death paves the way to justice and mercy.

Take The First Step
What makes your first step a hard one my dear?
Know that your God the greatest of all will be there,
To assist and guide before your life's journey
Take the first step and I will take the rest of it.
If your love for me is less comparable to wealth
I can wait, but be in a hurry 'cause now is the time,
To worship me with all your might, mind, and strength.
I have a trust on you that you can do your best.
Take the first step to honestly forgive your enemies
I will forgive those whom I will forgive, but of you
You ought to forgive all men though it cut your heart
Only in that step you acquire solace to your soul.
Don't be weary in doing good things for they
Lay great foundation and add oil to your lamp,
For where your treasure is, there your soul also
Take the first step to love one another as yourself.

Happy Birthday My Son
Do you know that you're now four years old?
It's just like yesterday that mommy bought you a cake
And I gifted you with cars and balloons
With hugs and kisses you loved our presents.
Hear your daddy's wishes though you're far away
Keep that pure smile always and be good at all time
Mommy is crying whenever she sees you in the frame
She loves you like her own son out from her womb.
Happy birthday my son, a simple wish is cheerished
'Til we meet again in this life or on the next world
Where we bind again our ever precious moments
Your dad and mom will patiently wait until that time.

Tell Me That I'm Wrong
Tell me that I'm wrong to love you
My heart breaks into pieces
Poor soul of mine cries too
So where are you now?
Hear my misery
Can't you feel
My all true
Love?
Don't care what the people may say
You against the world I dare
Unjust with their feelings
Mind becomes so dull
Darkness wraps me
They forsake
My last

Do we have a great chance to meet
This sojourn full of questions?
I want you to know that
I miss you so much
Let these feelings

An amazing person who hides
himself from the world.
Never to expect praises but
a grateful heart is enough.
Onward to extend his arm
his mercy is unconditional.
Nobility is his character more
precious than a rare diamond.
Yearn to seek those who
stand in peril and in need.
Mystic he may be but rewards
everyone's acts heartily.
Optimistic views spring out freely
no shadows lurk in his soul.
Undying love he purely gives
his emotions are sincere and true.
Selfless sevice towards fellowmen
makes him a saint, a real disciple.

The Sting Of Death
The last breath is given up hardly
Soul departs from this mortal clay,
Body lays like cold lonely lamb
Now lifeless, now it's crumbling.
Leaving this unfair world behind tears
Trodding shiftly to mysterious veil,
Tis an everyone's ordeal to pass
Waiting for the Almighty to confront.
Behold the bereave they wail at you
Why rellinquish us your love unfeign,
Memories are cherished, we miss you
Deeply aware you move on with might.
Is the sting of death worth for fear?
To recompense earthly measure of acts,
Death is both losing and winning
A choice one cannot simply ignore.

Wandering alone in vast ocean.

Forward to crown a destiny,
Go for a delightful journey
Press on, march on.

Love Me
Love me before you go away
Let us stay together once more,
Feel each other's touch and kisses
Through this lonely and endless night.
Please don't go, say you never will
Love me before you go away,
Hold my hands and pain melts away
I'll be there for you oh baby.
You gonna leave me all alone
Go on, do whatever you want,
Love me before you go away
I want to be with you tonight.
Wonder why you have to leave me
I thought this love would never end,
Where would I be without you now
Love me before you go away.

You Just Left
Beyond my dull imagination you just left
You just left
Breaking my heart in two you just left
Do embraces come to naught?
I miss your loving arms
Sweet caress throughout the night
Loosing my endless charms
You just left.
How painful it is that you just left
You just left
Memories are wilted so you just left
Do you think at all of me?
Everything turns to gray
My faculties becoming numb
Afraid to wander, stray
You just left.
A pact of togetherness oh you just left
You just left
I lay soon to grave why you just left
Are you happy with someone?
My poor heart beats so slow
Calling you from nowhere
Blood never comes to flow
You just left.

Samisen is limited to three stanzas of 8 lines each, with a 3-syllable refrain appearing at the end of lines 1 and 3, and standing alone as lines 2 and 8. The defining the meter has been difficult to find because it has been described many different ways, but it appears to be a regular trochaic pattern ('u) with amphimacers ('u') for the refrain and for the end-rhyme in lines 5 and 7. Lines 1, 3, 4 and 6 have four feet, lines 5 and 7 have three feet, and lines 2 and 8 (the refrain) have one foot.

What If God?
What If God Will
answer all our supplications
punish all the wicked and ferocious
reward always the righteous and holy.
What If God Will
prevent all the tragic accidents

intervene in nations' disputes.
What If God Will
wipe away all our tears
heal all our endless infirmities
restore deaths to glorious life.
What If God Will
cease to show mighty miracles
manipulate our thoughts and actions
grant us all with eternal life.
Would He Still Be Our God

Who Shall Take The Lead?
In our world of turbulence
Where peace is hardly spelled,
When chaos seems so endless
Who shall take the lead?
Moral decadence comes as natural
Scams are hitting the innocents,
Infidility rises to a new height
When to take the the lead?
Nuclear weapon threatens our habitation
Mother Earth cries for medication,
Love among men fastly wax cold
Heroic acts slowly been told.
Who may take the lead
To combat these evil deeds,
Are we left to go astray
Groping in the light of day.

The Morning Breaks
The day dawn breaks
Sunlight spreads its rays,
With a message to convey
Marks a beautiful day.
The sun rises brightly
Casts heavy burdens away,
Radiates a warmth of peace
Invites solace to a new day.
Wake up and do right things
Fulfill your given calling,
Cheer up the lowly and sad
And that's makes you feel glad.

I Walked Alone
A stranger I've met
We danced sweetly all night long
Kissed the night goodbye.
I walked alone dear
Facing pains, tears, and failures
These worth any price.
Why you have left me?
Life's empty without you near
Will we meet again?
Mirror stood so proud
Reflecting our thoughts last night
Shunned cluster of memories.

Sometimes On Heavy Rains
Sometimes
We are lonesome and
Nobody's heart is willing to feel empathy
Confused where to go in this dry and dreary world.
Questions
Keep bothering and ringing in our
Darkened minds while answers are eroding quickly
From much troubled, bruised, and hopeless hearts.
Are we
Courageous or valiant enough
To gladly experience the frightening heavy rains to come
Just like a dear child who humbly submits himself to his parents.
Well..
Here am I and remember
I will be your anchor, your refuge, and your trusted
Friend who embraces you with hands openly to catch you fall.
Don't
Allow blurry vision
Distract your handful hopes
Cheer yourselves with vigor and I will lift you up.
IF WE WERE
If We Were A Tree
Shall We allow loggers to rudely cut out trunks,
Will we amuse them with beauty til we rot?
If We Were A Fish
Shall we ignore the arrogants to kill us,
Will we live long and enjoy the corals for shelter?
If We Were A Bird
Shall we be comfortable with iron cages,
Will we continue chirping and give melodies?
If We Were A Water
Shall we evaporate and be seen no more,
Will we spring out and give life to mankind?
If We Were An Earth
Shall we lose our hope and choose to decay,
Will we move on and live to the extent?
If We Were Them
Shall we feel the same as theirs'
Will we make no thought at all?

Below are some reviews received-
Susan: Http://www.writing.com/authors/rainbowwalkers
I really like this because I think we, as Poets, can become the voices of those that can't speak out: our wildlife, nature, disappearing at such an alarming rate that it scares me. I am frightened if ever to walk out my door and there is not a tree in sight; or birds stop singing or the waters are dry with drought.Its coming if we keep at the rate of destruction we are going. It frightens me. We, as Poets, have a voice, a voice they don't.We NEED TO SCREAM LOUDER for it to stop!
Anthony: Http://www.writing.com/authors/anthonycreed
It is kind of okay. It sets up some emphasis on the viewpoint of nature. the prose is great, and it gives a clear picture of what you are telling, but it isn't catchy enough to make the readers relate to such. for me, the best thing here is to rearrange the construction and selection of words, and this does make an ideal poem item. anyways, keep writing and best of luck!!!
Sherri Gibson: Http://www.writing.com/authors/sherrigibson
This poem says so much to the reader. If everyone would put themselves in the place of our environment, animals, and all of the other beautiful things in the world, maybe they would think twice before polluting and destroying it. More thought should be given to these things, which you relay perfectly in the poem.

PICK THAT PRICKS
Path is rugged and steep
Thorns spread on the unlikely way
Sharp stones cut your helpless feet
Hopes are crushed and vanished like dust.
Hidden wedges come along to weigh
But arise and shine in splendor
Come out from clouds of darkest hue
Look upward in delight and joy.
Rivers of seemingly endless sorrow
Transform into glowing fountain of rays
Sunlight of happy hearts, flowers and tress
Shelter one's pure and unfading love.

Day and Darkness
Twas a lonesome and lifeless night
Stars in heaven lost their bright sight
Tryin’ to mend an ambiguous feeling I have
Looking for love that comes from above.
As I watched the glorious sun
Comfortless day of mine had just begun
Thought my sad expression had vanished
Hoped for things with radiance I cherished.
Prickly high noon road I traced
Saw behind a face flushed from the heat
Deep sorrow painted her fragile face
No hesitation I wished an immense love could give.
Fool was I to close my eyes off from her.
Warmth of peace, where could I hardly grasp
Wounded soul, what happened to me
Quite hand to calm, why there’s none
I walked and contemplated throughout the day.
Alas! A pathway bright to me was unveiled
Sunshine filled my hungry soul at last
Glowed like an earthly clear sky
Silence had been broken turning darkness into day.

Faded Photograph
Faded Photograph
A sight of one faded photograph
Halts my pace at a moment
Asking myself why are you so real
Where are you now, where is our love?
For that precious photograph
Mem'ries of yesteryears come alive
"Shall we dance our song?"
Are the same words I sweetly offer.
There is something on that faded photograph
Only you and I care to know,
Not what the world believes
Not what the people conceive.
Hold still my faded photograph
Can I bring the time back?
Where only the two of us
Separated to live, destined to love.
My one and only photograph
Lies the meaning of my life
Restores the happiness I lost
Fills up my empty broken heart.

Crownless Queen
Your Highness, Your Majesty!
My Beloved, My Light
A mighty ruler, a lovely queen
Where is your crown?
Your love is of pure gold
Patience unmeasured
Dedication unquestioned
Why empty the throne, queen?
Your scepter is our light
Law is your voice
Your palace is our refuge
Hope is your kingdom.
My reigning queen
Look at the grand ball
What do you see?
How do you feel?
The Royal Court, the chariots
The soldiers, the maids
Necklaces and earrings
Long gowns and silver shoes.
Why forsake them all?
Where are you my queen?
Why leaving us in pain?
The king, princess and prince
Your entourage is waiting.
Arise and be with us
Gather us in your wings
Feel our love, and
Sleep again with all our cares.
Rest now my queen
Till we meet again
In your new heaven
My crownless queen.
AN: This is a tribute poem fo rmy mother who passed away.

Life Has It
Life has its up and down
It is our crown
Life is very precious
Why are we so envious?
Life has its mask
Wonder whom to ask?
Life offers bitterness
To sweeten one's idleness.
Life has its gift
Live, treasure, and lift
Life is a stage
Come play it with courage.
Life has its rainbow
full of colors-red, yellow and blue
Life is a melody
be merry, happy, gay.
Life has its ev'ry thing
get hold of anything
Life is a journey
Life is a foray.
It is our crown
Life is very precious
Why are we so envious?
Life has its mask
Wonder whom to ask?
Life offers bitterness
To sweeten one's idleness.
Life has its gift
Live, treasure, and lift
Life is a stage
Come play it with courage.

Missin' That Little Boy
This night, I have this feeling I can't bear
I miss a little boy to me so dear,
It would be forever and never be
Life the same when he came to me.
I miss his laughters
Couldn't help hold my tears,
When he called me "daddy!"
He brightened my tough day.
What could he be today?
Was he happy and gay?
Sayin' prayer night and day
"I love you mommy and daddy."
I miss our plays
I miss his hum
I miss our rides
I miss his dance.
I miss that little boy
Keepin' his lovely car toy,
I dream of his kissess
I long for his embraces.
I miss that little boy...
My foster son...my boy...
