Jay-R Capiz Poem
The Traffic Moves On, So Do I
I
Stuck on the road full of a heavy traffic
Inch by inch , no movements are automatic
Drivers do rant, shouting their personal tactic
Someone says “hey, go ahead.. damn pathetic”
II
That loud voices echoed in my ears
Recognize voices who caused my unstoppable tears
The pain of betrayal that brings back my fears
And carry the burden throughout the years
III
Red lights are blinking, some are high and low
Telling them to stop, so everyone should know
That love is like a road full of unintentional flow
Like the way you let me stay seated on an isolated row
IV
I cried for days, more than 3 times in a day
Asking what I did wrong, begging you to stay
No words cannot save, you fully walk away
Then life suddenly turns dim like a vanishing sun ray
V
But as the car moves forward, I suddenly comes back to reality
I cannot control things with freaking instability
Letting us go, gives you clarity
But letting you go gives me serenity

Jay-R Capiz Poem
Let’s Play The Game of Falling out of Love
Throw a card, show the deck with ace of heart
Open the journey with a good memories from the start
Then get the deck full of ace of spade
For the good intentions that didn’t want to fade
Because any 7 and 2 will always be lucky
Even 9 with 10 can be part of same identity
But 2 with another 1 should not be together
Neither 1 an 1 especially when you left the other
Move a horse, let the move be unknown
Same as you did when left me all alone
Slide the rook from one side to the corner
Think twice before you decided to enter
The king may be big, but truly the real weak
Like on how you forget to clear things whenever I ask you to speak
You spiced up, disguised like a queen
Ensuring things under your plan to surely win
Now roll the dice, find your luck in the numbers
Aim the 6 to successfully climb up the ladders
Be careful before you roll again, think for your sake
‘Cause you might be beaten by your own freaking snake
Because every number has consequences
Like your actions that make me speechless
Though ladder leads to the beauty of success
But snakes can ruin all of your good images
So lets play the game you created
Target the feelings that are not anymore heated
With love, understanding, caring, and thoughtfulness
Because I can also be a player who will make you winless

Jay-R Capiz Poem
You made me Dauntless
Part of me is half full and empty
Like a right-handed person trying to be lefty
Trying to scribble down the chaotic memory
Of the hurt I got from ignoring me totally
I try to break my own rules and standards
‘Cause I thought you’re the ace in a card
I dive too deep into the false hope reward
I just realized that you are a real coward
Late-night talks and calls are useless.
You changed instantly and left me clueless.
I threw away the feelings too effortlessly
It made me confident, braver, and dauntless
I’m fed up with trying to make things keep going
It’s you who stops holding and believing
I’ll never let myself fall again for nothing
‘Cause often looks and words are deceiving

Jay-R Capiz Poem
Loving From Afar
Staring at you even only from a distance
Is enough for me even without a chance
Your presence I always got from a glance
Making my heart comes out to dance
Suitor of a dream, catching a midnight
Sailor in the sea, waiting for a twilight
Breaking the horizon, nearly left to right
Loving from afar is like losing on a fight
The hundreds of but, what if’s, and maybe
Are the cycles of love and what it can be
It may be romance, subtle, or tragedy
Just like loving you without knowing me
But no courage to show the feelings inside
Doubts are dominating with fears alongside
Beats of the heart doubled like a riptide
But I will always here loving by your side

Jay-R Capiz Poem
What is Love?
A four letter word comes from heart
Where faithfulness established from the start
I never imagine how it feels
When I found the person whom I can shared the reels
Then I wondered why and what really is?
The memories or language of love from this
I surrender to the genuine thoughtfulness
I divide my heart and open for forgiveness
Now it was still confusing the real meaning
Of love and how it can be dealt, too confusing
I just know that love is boundless and true
No one can ever give its exact value
Just love, feel it, share it and endure
This is the meaning of love when pure
Intentions, attentions, perfect combination
You and I can love, no buts, ifs or question

Jay-R Capiz Poem
Echoing Silence
I
Isolated in an echoing unending room
Where loud noises destroy the silence
Breaks the confidence into million pieces
Nobody wants to pick the entire brokenness
II
Drowning under the shallow regrets
Unable to go further, not even a single step
Both hands are tied up and mouth is covered
No time to think clearly, nobody wants to listen
III
Loud voice, breaking the unbearable silence
Digging the root of uncontrollable violence
Crying from the distance, not once, twice, but till hundreds
Looking for hand to hold, and someone to be with
IV
But sun never kissed the sea, even winter never meets the fall
One mistake in life delivers an affliction
Both cry and laugh, the value is a gemstone
But echoing the truth, still silence holds the dominion

Jay-R Capiz Poem
Solar Eclipse Brokenness
The moon covers the sun’s bright lights
And brings a total darkness in our sights
Fades out the figure of fake possessions
Cuts out the string of short time connections
It brings cold feeling and gloomy emotion
Suddenly makes a person stuck in motion
The beats of the heart skips for a while
Not longing for love, the heart is now fragile
As dark as the eclipse, the broken heart was
No rhythm is on point, the melody is bass
The flare circulates the tears of longing heart
The dim hue deleted the hurt of the start
Let it be, the hurt, and pain, feel and endure
Like moon covers the sun, safe and secure
Love as the eclipse, embracing the flaws
Love as you love, ready to break the laws

Jay-R Capiz Poem
Options
You call me by my name, too intentional
I gather all the courage to think more rational
You always held me when I’m available
But truly who am I, for you negotiable?
Your time is priceless, I cannot bargain
Mine is typical, but I can always sustain
I never asked for more than everything
Just be part of yourself, I can do anything
I hugged you at the worst of your moment
You hold me, when nothing seems permanent
You showed me that I am not a rebound
But you cannot show it when people are around
Stay with me be part of my world
With you I can be brave, I can break the stronghold
Let me know what you really want to keep
Our friendship, relationship, or just situationship?

Jay-R Capiz Poem
Cyclical Reminisce
Pendulum skips one bang to the bead
Triggers the feeling to turn it off lead
Allows memories to run and circulated
Reminiscing promises you once articulated
Deep in mind are the guilt and regret
Keep looking back and wanted to reset
If only not tempted, no hearts will be broken
If only not lusted, no trust will be fallen
Fridays are bluer since the day of part ways
Laughing is not better than shared as always
Messages are sent waiting for responses
Hoping to be seen even it is now nonsense
Memories suddenly comes in cyclical
The unfold pages comes in unintentional
One day the fate will surely cross again
And surely, that will never cause any pain
