Annabelle Lozada Poem
Many years ago, I’d been seeing
My whole life in front of me.
Like a tale, I could tell how it’d end,
By simply looking at how it begins.
Thinking I’d been born this way,
Without any luck.
With no other options,
Neither freedom, nor choice
to change anything
from which has already been written
in the past.
In fact, it’s nothing more
than a bird’s cage for me,
& even worse than the darkest dungeon,
Which has been keeping me locked up
All alone inside, for so long.
Till I realized I’ve been yearning
Something deep down from within
Which I myself, couldn’t even comprehend...
At the very core of my solitary soul
There was a space of emptiness
Seemed like a missing piece
of a jigsaw puzzle..
And like a pile of love letters
from a long lost lover,
it's been left unread
At the darkest corner of my soul!
Was it about my long forgotten dreams?
Or perhaps the things I’ve wished I had
But never had the chance to become my own?
What could it be?
It’s the greatest mystery I’ve been keeping in my heart, for so long..
I thought it’s just a myth
In my own wishful thinking!
Too good to be true or to be mine.
Therefore, should be kept ignored
Like those unread letters ,
from a long lost lover.
Or as an old file of forgotten
impossible dreams!
That should be left untouched
Until the very end!
One lucky day, I stumbled upon a special mirror!
So different from the one
I used to see in front of me!
Just a simple touch on it
with my fingertips
I was promised of the possibility
To live happily & free!
At first, I thought, it’s nothing
but reflection of my own self alone
But then, I’ve realized it’s beyond
What I have ever seen before!
My lonely face, which for so long
has never known how to smile again,
Had finally been smiling
In front of it for almost all day long.
Till many long days
of waiting & staring at it faithfully
I was at last! able to see clearly
behind its mystery!
Real connection I had
With the image inside,
It finally revealed the truth
Right before my very eyes!
The image of the one I see
in front of me, Is no one else ..
But the loveliest image
of the OTHER HALF of me!

Annabelle Lozada Poem
" IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU THAT I EXIST TODAY"
Tormenting pain of wounded broken heart,
Kept haunting me down, were all shadows of my past.
Extreme agony & sorrow had been killing me quietly..
I've been wishing to end them all,
So at last! I could truly be free!
Perhaps more sticks of cigarettes,
Or some bottles of wine can bring
me to death,
Easily & slowly everyday...
Staring upon the ceiling, right through my window, down to the floor, I see...
Then my door opens wide and closes whenever I want it to be.
Each tick of the clock and printed dates on a calendar for each and everyday..
Everything seems to be telling me this wonderful thing;
"Please..Don't ever give up...
It's because of you that I exist today."
Weeds and plants outside my home
Live and grow without my care..
The sun keeps shining everyday for me which never fails..
The same is true with the moonlight by the horizon,
Or the growing noise of the raindrops falling..
The fresh and soothing air
Can't hide the truth that keeps on telling me..
" Cheer up!!!..Don't you know? It's because of you that we exist today."
Looking at myself, my hands and feet, holding them gratefully..
Despite all odds & tough days
they've been faithfully serving me..
Neither one of them had failed
Nor a single beat of my heart
has ever said,
It is done! and it's giving up on me!
Oh! What life could've been for me?
When they fail to do one thing
As I do with myself today!
When I look beyond my eyes I can see around me..
All things therein have been crying out so loud & clear, I see!
" That I should never give up!
For it's because of ME that they exist today!"
If every breath I take each moment,
Is here in this world for free
And the Sun keeps shining everyday
For you & me...
All things I dream to have
Must've been waiting so long
to get to me.
Never again! would I ever complain except saying "THANK YOU" everyday!
For everything that ever exists today,
Are in MY world because of me.
Each smile I give you everyday when I pass you by..
Sweet hugs or kisses
Respect and kindness with all sincerity,
I can give them all to you now, for free!
For today, I've realized...
I LOVE YOU...is no longer hard to say...
So please believe me if I say..
"You deserve to be loved..
For It's because of you that I exist today..."

Annabelle Lozada Poem
Brooding over my desperate life,
Everything I see seems falling apart
Craving for some reasons to smile..
I tried watching closely at things nearby.
First, I saw a withering seed
I wondered why it's still contend to live..
Suddenly, I heard a whispering sound..
"Have faith my friend, for the best is yet to come.."
Looking above a lifeless tree
What a helpless plight I see!
I said, " Oh! Pity tree! You've no chance of living a better life just like me!"
Again, I heard another sound;
"Have faith my friend for the best is yet to come."
At last! A poor and ugly caterpillar came..
I wondered if it thinks just the same..
Perhaps it's been tired of crawling
Still, never have gone far beyond..
And it's ready to die among plants in this drying land..
I tried talking to this poor lil' thing..
Just as I did to everything I've seen
But again, I heard the same soothing sound;
"Have faith my friend, for the best is yet to come.."
For several times I just couldn't agree
I wondered so much, what they meant to say..
I tried to visit them again one day..
Something really worse must've happened,
I expected to see..
I no longer see the withering seed..
But a tiny sprouting leaves, instead!
Looking up above, a once dying tree,
Green new leaves, I was startled to see!
Then I heard a heavenly, wonderful sound
From a little butterfly flying around
Looking down at me, saying so proud;
"Have faith my friend for YOUR best is yet
to come..."
When stormy nights of LIFE have come
And beautiful things in it have gone..
The circle of life has just begun..
I FRET NO MORE, for I knew...MY BEST is yet to come..

Annabelle Lozada Poem
I have known countless men before you,
It was never a simple thing
for me to know.
Thousands of sweet words had been spoken,
Countless kisses & hugs had been done,
Before I've finally realized
How much I loved them.
But with you, I feel as though
We've met together before,
from far beyond..
And by looking deep into your eyes,
I see the one I loved
before this world began..
Holding your arms, I feel as though
I've been holding them so long,
Before I was even born..
Oh! My Love...How could this be?
How did it happen so fast?
We've attracted each other like magnets..
With love, so strong negating the space between us..
Could you be the one, whom they say
my very own SOULMATE?
Could it be what they call my real
TRUE LOVE?
Could this be the love,
Which only few believed
To be some kind of fairy tale?
Could we be in an Unknown Universe,
Where space & time had never
truly exist?
Is there really such a thing as they call,
the BEYOND, or MAGICAL UNIVERSE
in LOVE?
I hope this love is real
And FOREVER will last!
If I'm only dreaming,
I wouldn't ever want to wake up
from this dream!
Or if it's only true today,
And become the biggest lie tomorrow,
I would rather die now
With this illusion!
Than forever living in tomorrow's reality!!!
Your real LOVE is all I ever need today..
Even if it happens so quick
In this world of fantasy,
It doesn't matter to me if
I've been locked up so long,
And deeply wounded in
my real world,
Still begging so hard to be free!
Pleading to be loved beyond reasons as I've wished to be.
I may sound fancy or foolish,
For truly loving you freely today,
Within my virtual world of reality.
And may be crazily yearning to be desired beyond beauty,
which fades away.
All I ever wanted is nothing more
Than to be loved deeply down to my soul!
With all my flaws in me.
For, If nobody could truly love me
In the real world this way...
I would rather believe in my true love with you,
In this world of fantasy,
More than believing in lies or fancy love in reality!
Please..let me love you forever this way!
Even if you exist nowhere else,
Other than my so-called-virtual reality..
