Deadly Enchantress

You have the world at your feet
Men are crawling over you
they are hungry as a beast.
You rule the colony under your own law.
One by one...follow.
All was hitched unmindful.
 
Gracefully your lips utter a word
Your eyes glisten like a sparkling sword.
Long black hair...everyone longing to touch it.
A beauty that lured Samson and bewitched. 
 
They didnt know what's beneath
The beauty just with in reach...
oh sucks...its deadly but no one has ever see.
Tempting...that's what a deadly enchantress is.

Me, Myself and the Mirror

I would love to see "twinkle" on my eyes,
but even the mirror seems in disguise.
I see myself better when my eyes are closed,
that way i am friend with my heart in trouble.

Fake me not, mirror in front
I let you you read me,
but could you really see?

Mind is in chaos,
wrinkles on forehead shows.
You see that I know,
but can you put words to it too?

I wish you could talk back,
so you could put back on track
my heart, my mind...
and thoughts running wild.

Hey Girl

When would you cease to fight
the pain you have kept inside,
When do you learn to let go
of love not fated for you.
When would you stop pretending
of things you think is  smooth sailing.

At night, I heard you weep
In the morning, I saw the stains on the sheet.
You deserve better,
better than those damn tears.

You think you are weak,
but I beg to differ you my sweet.
You are brave on your own fault,
giving your all to love at the most.
Unfortunately, to a man 
who doesn't see your worth.

Silent Hunter

You love adventure and love to catch

a wildest being with your bare hands.

Amidst in a dangerous path

you are armored with a brave solid heart.

Chasing something you could be proud of

is an unmeasurable pride you could ever have.


Your spirit is boiling with courage

it is flaming upon your soul to take.

Born to haunt yet fated to be in the dark,

you are a silent hunter

wearing a mysterious mask...

- Martyr -

" There is nothing wrong on giving all you have to that person who holds your heart, being broken-hearted is okay but being broken- hearted twice from the same guy is off the track. " 
 
 
 Girl, you've been lied,
you've been cursed,
you've been thrown,
you have cried, 
and you've been hurt.
Still your heart can take
so much of that.
 
 
 Sure you know
the difference between love and insanity.
Committing mistake and learning from it, its ok.
but committing the same mistake over and over again
is stupidity.
 
 
 You let go of your heart and your mind,
I hope someone will catch it at the end of time.
One day, I hate to see again,
in one corner you cry...
 
I may not know how is it to be on your shoes,
but I am pretty aware of the pain it caused.

That Story

My soul is walking above ground, 
when i found a love story that is as old as time.
Amazement was written obviously on my eyes,
wishing it was mine...
 
A love story that cruises oceans,
A love story that withstand ups and down.
A love story that no matter how many years were wasted,
their love endures and never fades.
Both emotions were strong and simply profound.
 
I am no Juliet who waits for Romeo,
Love isn't an island of feelings,
but rather an attitude... 
an attitude that says, " in love its never too late..
in love there is always a chance. "
Love makes relationships,
it begins with that ONE beat...

Dream Stealer

You snatched my dream
little rude night thief
i was in the dreamland playing with nymphs
when you showed and starting to mess.
How you could bear handling my fate
when you couldn't give destiny a face?

You are such a sweet liar in disguised
how could i be so trusting and not be so wise,
reasons are lame why i was blinded by your shade
or reality check I'm the one who was blind
not to see your dark motives.
A classic hustler for that matter.

Oh but unfortunately i should say,
of all the dirty tactics you planted along the way,
my dreams, my hopes and my will to be...
are the things you couldn't steal away from me.

Innocent Fruits

Gun fires...people screaming..

trucks running to-and-fro...

Endless noise ears are tired.

A scary scene fits not to the mind of a child.

Lifeless cold bodies are lying next to their innocent eyes

Self-centered citizens who could kill

to fight to what they think is right.

Pity those children who doesnt know the answers.

Everyone is longing for peace,

An army of souls hopefully appeal,

In every heart sobriety reigns at last.

Blood and sweat mix together

Who will be the one to first quit?

Those who anticipate holding their breathe

or those who struggle up to the last minute?

No one knows...no one knows...

Understanding seems hiding somewhere,

One blood...one race...

Now it doesnt even matter.

We are created in one same step

Why make it hard to who shall rightfully rule...

Exchanging words of different thoughts

Opinions are laid, one gets striked.

Hard to solve because of hard-headed people.

Ruthless hearts full of vengeance

Many lives are already sacrificed.

OHHH...aren't you getting sick of this???

Alluring Temptress

A one-of-a-kind precious gem to see,

And a whimsical rare beauty.

You would be enchanted

Once you lay your eyes on this lady.

Careful not to be carried by the spell,

Just in a second you're dreaming to feel,

Craving the face of an angel

but possessed by a devil...

Before you know, you are bewitched

You cant turn your back to this temptress,

and your self-control is at stake.

How can you resist this kind of "witch"?

It's magic mystic charm

is a weakness to every man,

Spell-bounded your heart

until it beats fast and tear it apart...

Unspoken Part

We all lost ourselves in the process of loving, our mind and our heart, but the worst thing that could happen is if we lost entirely our true self. The emotions that we invested, the feelings that we felt, and those things that we all do for the sake of LOVE and for the person itself. It's hard to gain what we have given, especially the time which can not bring back. Nothing is more excruciating than feeling your own heart being broken. Seeing your own tears fall down and out of nowhere you asked why.
              The heart could only take so much, you should not see on how it was broken but on how it will beat again. The strength of the heart depends solely on you, to regain its will to love again is all depends on how you see things.Hard but possible, isn't it right?
              Do not abused yourself til the time comes you have nothing to give that even a smile is hard for you to do, remember nothing in this world is permanent. Eventually things change in a matter of time, take it easy. Along the way we stumble yes, but so what? Once or twice or more? That should not matter as long as you keep going, the only time that you will be defeated is if you let yourself quit.
 
The unspoken part is that you can do it,but you choose not to.
You know you can move on,but you choose to hold on.
You know you can turn your back, but you choose not to break it apart.
You know you can fight,but you choose not to use your might.
You know you can stand, but you choose to stay calm.
Don't be a prisoner of your own heart, take the lead...
Welcome and feel proud that you can accomplish to regain yourself back.
