A Love Tested and Tried

Its my life so i decide, 
That you'll be forever on my side 

I know Im gonna be a happy bride
For our Love, is my joy & pride.

my happiness i cannot hide
I have a family who support & guide.

Until your loyalty had been tested and tried           
what you have done i cannot described

How long did you hide
The anger you build inside

I thought you just want to divide
The things i was gladly provide

Turns out your just envy inside
All the bitterness in your heart collide 

Just wish u just put the hate aside 
Considered everything in good side 
 
The people i love, You spied.
And Spread bad rumors so wide

Suddenly your not on my side
I am shock at your betrayal and pride

How can u be so mean to me and lied
You took everything from me, even my pride

The only thing i can do is sigh and cried
Dont you know you broke me till i almost died.?

Mother

though my life is rougher
Compared to some other
And constantly i suffer
Never will i trade it for another
Even if its a life much better
To me it will not matter
I will be just stronger 
And try to be much wiser 
Protect them from danger
Give the best of life i can offer 
For there is no greater joy
To be my childrens mother.

GLORY OF WAR

The smell of fear is on the air
But still i keep on marching...
Side by side with my ally,
I find courage to face what's ahead

With shaking knees and fearful heart 
Ubruptly I stop!
and bravely face the enemy
What will happens next is on gods will

Like a hurricane,
they come with a roar
Death is coming,
violently.!
I hold on to my shield,
fiercely.!
Unsheath my sword swiflty.

Every dagger that pierce,
leaves an ugly reminder;
A battle scars that will remain.!
I stab and kill endlessly 

Though a shield protects,
a great blow will still put me down
On my knees and gives bruises!

Still, i keep on fighting...
Hoping they surrender
The pain of loosing always breaks me..

But no matter, 
never will I,  be a bystander
That stays on the side while a battle unfolds.

ROCK FROM HEAVEN

It was unexpected when it fell...

I carried it.
Though i had questions..
I dont complain..
Even those "what's not mine to carry",.
I Just put it behind my  back.,

It was not easy...
It is painful.

But no matter how heavy.
I'll still choose to carry.
The weight is scary
Hurts me so badly
It cuts me deeply 
made me ugly
I suffer silently.

Queenly

I look at myself in the mirror quickly
Satisfied with what i saw, i smiled sweetly
With a head held high i walked out confidently
all eyes were staring at me intently
Whats with me they think deeply?
So i smile slyly.
I know im not that pretty, 
Nor i cannot be that sexy,
But believe me, i can make u look twicely!
I have the grace and aura that u want so badly,
And just because you cant act like me exactly,
U started to hate me willingly,
So you try to imitate me desperately
But darling, U failed completely :)

With a gentle hand

This is a classic story to share.
About the best grandmother ever
She was the person who truly cared.

Back when I was still a little girl
When nays are not that old
She buys me a wooden slipper.
Together we tend her garden

She's a good storyteller.
We are never bored with her.
She got our back when we needed her.
Every problem we have, she's always there.

She always carries her magic purse.
Inside there are lots of stored memories.
Bobbies pins, gums, receipts and more
Old notes, mirrors, even photos galore
Reading glasses and lipstick all in there.

Our grandmother has a magic wand 
That makes us smell delicious air.
Cooking us our favorite meals to share
For every summer all her grandchildren
Will come to her house to gather 
Our dinner is always full of laughter.

Everywhere she goes, I'm with her.
All the things that we do together
It is a memory that we'll always remember.
We all grew up with her love and care.

Sharing with every piece of her 
The love she gave us is so rare.
In our hearts she stays with us through prayer.

Happy

You don't have, to have many
To put a  smile on somebody
To share a penny to a needy
Keeps your heart humbly
Makes less one hungry
And a blessing to everybody

We Co-Exist Panacea or Pain

I like Pain!  
Panacea and I are the same 
We co exist with pain,!
Since i was often used to cover up a pain,!
Just like a panacea,. Im a goddess of cure
A solution to every hard problem they may have,!
Regardless of what disease it carries...
afflictions to any...
Difficulties to bear...
You dont need to worry... 
For you got me,. as a remedy.! 
You dont need to believe if i exist!  
Panacea comes from different sizes and form,! 
So if you seek for me, just know...
All you need is follow, where the pain is,... 
And there i am.... a goddess of remedies

LOUDEST SILENCE

Can't you hear me calling out your names?

Why do you have to leave in such a haste,
leaving me alone in this cold cruel place,!

All i need is the warmth of your embrace,!

I look down to see all your names,
Written down in those shallow graves,!

A single tear falls down my face,! 

And all you could give me is your,Loudest Silence.!

Dear Daddy,

My Dearest daddy
When I was still tiny
I remember clearly
When you visit daily
Just to see mommy

Today, you shut the door suddenly.
It makes us all uneasy.
We all look at mommy
Scrubbing the sink furiously
It gives us all anxiety.

My Dearest daddy
Every day, you bring me candy
And told me stories so funny
That makes us laugh loudly.
You smiled and hugged me tightly.

Today, you shout at us so loudly
We looked at each other sadly.
You say bad words frequently.
Like it was nothing to you really
Mommy shuts her mouth tightly.

My dearest daddy
When you left us suddenly
And choose another company
Mommy drifts away slowly
You hurt us so badly.

You come back unexpectedly,
We welcome you excitedly
You had a second chance truly
Mommy had nothing but a penny
You provided for us just like any

My dearest daddy
Before, we had lived a life comfortably
Because of mommy's family
We are all satisfied and happy.
She was your number one priority.

Today, you tell us not to worry.
Now that you have money
You will provide for our family.
For you, everything will be easy.
But all you ever do is sit tightly. 

My dearest daddy
Do you really love us truly?
And say's for us, you spend all your money...
Do you really have to talk to us arrogantly?
You put all the chores on mommy.
While you lock yourself in the room daily.

We always love you wholeheartedly,
We respect your authority. 
Yet it makes us feel uncomfortable.
Your mood shifts very swiftly. 
That every day, we could guess only
Which daddy would you be?

My dearest daddy 
All I want is a complete loving family.
Not just a picture-perfect family 
That you post daily.

Can we be normal just like any
Put your differences aside and be friendly.
After all, we both love you endlessly.
