Shirlyn Ledesma Poem
All in that road
I find myself full of tears when I imagine it again
The bright light that used to shine for us so brightly
So bright that I can almost see what paradise is
A paradise designed for the two of us
And then in a blink of an eye it’s gone
That beautiful and lovely paradise was gone
Because there was no road to lead me there
I walked home alone in a long and dreamy boulevard
I wrote those names in the midnight stars
And I said to myself you will be the last star
The last star that will ever lead me to that paradise
Where no reason at all to cry in the middle of dawn
Though you break my yearning heart
Your name that was beautifully written among those stars
Your name that makes me weak whenever I hear them
It will never stop from adoring your sweet presence

Shirlyn Ledesma Poem
Petals over the wind
Misty morning light up the world again
The smell of cool wind embraces my chest
Striking colour of red and white trapped me
Wondering how they become almost perfect
I sat down on the grass above the earth
Unseen atmosphere calling those petals
Living me curious if I can go with them
Circling me around, suddenly I’m in dreamland
Wind and petals where dancing harmoniously
Singing birds harmonize with every beat they make
As they follow the current of the stream, they mingle
Laughing while I watch it I felt like drowning
From that moment I abruptly realize
Unseen happiness can never be blissful as you thought
Like the invisible wind calling those petals to make happy moments
Going to a place where they can bring delight to somebody

Shirlyn Ledesma Poem
Like my song for you, my love will never fade
Like the sun who never leave the perching sky
Like how the cold rain kisses the ground every time it falls
Like how the wind embraces the emptiness inside me
But the distance between us makes me feel so alone
The silence that I used to hear since you were gone
It grows faster than I ever thought
The leaves over my glass window keep on falling
My wiping eyes unconsciously shed tears
Tears that I kept for a very long time
Because I do recall what happen that night
And it never crosses my mind that this will come to end

Shirlyn Ledesma Poem
You’re Here No More
I used to lie down in a bed full of teddies’
But I know I cannot be in that bed anymore
In the middle of the night I am missing those bear hugs
Those warm cotton that used to comfort me whenever I got scared of the whistling sound from the outside
But it was long gone and I am in a queen size bed where I can only feel the coldness of the night
No more warm cotton to make me feel I’m not alone
No more whistling sound from the outside that will make me feel scared
No more reason anymore for me not to forget you
I can’t find any more reason for me not to let go
So I’ve decided to stare at my window where flowers of red and yellow blooms
And there I saw how the rays of the sun struck through those flowers
I was just surprise on how the ray of the sun makes those flowers blooms
How it affects those blooming creatures
How it reach out for us to make them witness
To witness and to realized that no matter how long the journey
At the end of that journey we will have the chance to see how beautiful and magical life has prepared for us to see

Shirlyn Ledesma Poem
Stream runs dry and its summer time
Rivers trickle over my thoughts
Birds flew away when the rain starts to tumble
Fireflies dim their fading light
Calm blue sky fill me some rain
Wash away all the pain I kept
Keep me numb all night
So I won’t feel any fright
Fall me to sleep this time
And give me those goodbye kisses
As your shadow gets blurred
Make me dream sweet paradise
Keep me in those tight arms
Remain my illusion in my mind
Create haven in our beautiful field
And dance with me in moonlight

Shirlyn Ledesma Poem
Caught
Don’t you know that I was thinking of you today?
I was thinking of our sad affair
Of how sad it was and how lonely it was
Don’t you know that I've got caught because of you ?
I've got caught by my instructor smiling
Smiling because I remember how sad it was
How terrible my feeling was when I realized here I am again
I was thinking about what we could have if there is “us”
If there is a beautiful affair between us
My happy dream became nightmare when I realized it
When I realized how fool I was
How fool I was to think of you
When I know you can’t even look at me
When I know even once I never came in to your mind
And now I’m here looking in a blank page of our chapter
Imagining how will it be if we give it a plan
And there it goes that page was turn into crumbled piece of paper
Crumbled like how it should be from the very first hour

Shirlyn Ledesma Poem
When It’s Gone
On this evening I didn’t know if this enticing land will be gone
My thoughts keep on worrying about something
Something that will turn this land dark and gray
Like a fading photos from yesterday
So I take a quill over the cluttered backyard
And write something that will keep me motionless
If only this ground was not injured
If only this calm ground was kept holy
Somehow we will not be like this
We will be not be regretful of what we’ve done
Somehow we will not wait for the clouds to turn dull
For the ocean to soar high and for the mighty trees to tumble
And as my blood scatters under the moonlight
And when the morning light make it dry
I will wish this enticing land to be safe in another moment
I will wish a bountiful period where natives lend their sincere affection

Shirlyn Ledesma Poem
Senseless
It doesn't make the rain stop when I stop to cry
It doesn't make me feel me alright when you leave
If you fly away like strings of daffodils you make me sad
If you fly away like broken dreams do you think I will be fine?
Though the sun can’t measure my burning love for you
Though the sky will cry out a million tears, it will not change
Though the water from the river runs dry, my love for you will overflow
Though the wind will make the falling leaves tremble I will stay here for you
But now I should say ,Please just don’t come over my dreams
Just don’t make me feel that it won’t last
Because I know it will, maybe soon
And just don’t make my day bright and visible
My nights grew darker as my blurry eyes
Eyes that started to make tears as you love me
Eyes that witnessed all the broken and unbroken heart
Eyes that used to be happy but now was confused

Shirlyn Ledesma Poem
Uncertainly Wrong
Should I believe that I’m breathing?
When I know I’m just suffocated?
Should I believe that I’m alive?
When I know I’m dead?
Should I wait for the time you will be here?
When I know you’re not coming back?
Should I stop myself from crying?
When I know my tears can’t stop from falling?
Should I end mending my heart?
When I know you’re the reason why it’s broken?
Should I turn off the lullaby in my head?
When I know it’s the only thing I can keep?
Should I go back to every moment we’ve made?
When I know it’s fading swiftly?
Should I stop screaming your name?
When I know that my lips will always remember it?
