Yellow Moon

She watched as the earth fell asleep

Waited for the yellow moon

soft kisses of unfaithful wind..

Images..Images on her head

Nostalgic memory of a forgotten love

Flashes of things she tried to forget..

Her eyes caught the reflection of the moon

locked inside the rain on her cheek..

She was standing alone..

Her grieving heart sought

solace from the moon

She petitioned the stars

Where is he this very night?

Cruel..oh so cruel..

Beneath the silence of the sky

she bowed her head and cried..

To My Inmate

how can it be?
how can you suddenly
be so far away from me?
you cant come with me
so I will have to miss you so very badly..
the food trips
the late night talks
your laugh everytime i tripped over something..
your 'your-so-dumb' look eveytime I talk like im out of this world
and Icould not thank you enough for that
I do not want to feel sad..
Out there, i'll be looking forward
to be home again.
so don't be sad too..
Just think of the day
when I was just sitting here
I am not really gone..
i haven’t left ur side at all,
not even for a short  while..
I apologize I cannot see you on your big day..
but on the next 'big day' I promise I'll be there..
so dont think this is parting..
for this is not..
Just think I'll be away for a short vacation
a trip for a better start..
I will miss you my inmate..
but who knows?
Who knows indeed?
maybe I haven’t really left
maybe the friendship Ive always kept
has woven a golden thread
a thread that shall remain
forever
and we’ll never ever need
to say goodbye..

The Call of the Wild

Sharp fangs flashes as he growls
threatening to bring death
the eyes flames in fury
looking for an escape

He once ruled in his kingdom
the predator in a solitary wild
strength was his armor
never feeling sorry for his fights

One day a trap caught the king
in an iron throne, a crown he was given
yet he rejects the admires
for it is not what his heart desires

he longs of his life back
he was a beast, fierce and wild
freedom is his definition of love
one the master will never understand

The death that echoes in every flight
the chase that severs wretched life
the danger of the wild
now he cries his lonely howl in the night

You'Re My Star

hey there,
You have lighted up my world..
Now you're the one I am dreaming of
Dont you know,
I can sit here forever,
Just looking into your eyes?
The things I see there
Always take me by surprise
but I don't see you coming...
I see you standing there;
so close but still barely out of reach;
I want to be closer to you,
so I'm on my way...
I will be missing you
I will be missing the places we used to know..
wish i could carry you with me
I hope I make you a little happy too
I am not saying goodbye
I know I'll see you again
I would be crying in that strange city
and you wouldnt be there..
but I will carry on..

Just So You Know

I am hard to understand
I am hard to be with
I am hard to love
just so you know..

If you choose to be with me
It will never be easy
I fight. I claw. I kill
just so you know..

But if you are brave to take me
I might take you too
And you cannot turn back
just so you know..

To a Beautiful Stranger

Id like to think about the time when we first met,
Sometime about a year ago,
The words we said, our first exchange of hello's,
Something about, you know

I saw you just about all the time,
And suddenly because of you I was smiling again,
Though I can't seem to say when
You brought back the sunshine into my life,
unknowingly..accidentally

And though it's hard to define certain things,
Even now it is still confusing,
what am I to you..
but I know what you are to me
And how much I care about you..

But I must hide the love in my heart,
Beneath a laughing face.
And though you think I probably never cared,
I doubt anyone can ever take your place...

I miss you so much..

Paramour

His brown eyes
She still feels them looking at her
His smile
She still see them smiling at her

She still remember their first time together
She still recall his touch
and she fell in love

The world was perfect
the colors were alive and vibrant
She was in love

He was a beautiful stranger
A stranger that caught her untamed heart
She was so in love

She remember how he cared about her
She remember the sound of his heartbeat
or was it just a make believe?

She thought he was her hero
didn't he try to rescue her?
and she gladly ran to him.

She thought his arms are her castle
as her head rest on his chest
there is no sky she couldn't fly

but she never knew..
She wish she had
the shadow of someone she thought he'll never be..

She thought he was her Knight..
but she didn't see..
the same knight whose sword is meant to bring death to her heart..

to him, she was nothing but a Paramour..

I Want To Fall In Love Again

I want to fall in love again
I miss the feeling
I miss the joy
It was like being under the sun
and melting..
it was like being under the moon
and shining..
I want to love again
I look at lovers
and they seem so in love
but it's lonely to have someone
and feel nothing
I want to fall in love again
But...
my heart is scared
I could not feel it
It may be missing
It might have died a tragic death
the lies, the betrayals and the hurt
I don't think it could endure again
my heart is full of doubt
afraid to take step 
for I might fall down again,
be stepped upon, crashed and broken
I want to fall inlove again
but my heart is SCARED..

Samson

I lay there in a daze
watching you sleep
with thoughts racing in my head
as I was trying 
to memorize your face.

I just wanted to hold you,
Wishing that I could show you how I feel
for it might be the last chance..
the last day together
one moment I would cherish forever

I know tomorrow 
I'll be watching you walk away,
not wanting you to go..
but I must and I have to find the strength somehow,
To kiss your lips goodbye...

Daffodils and Dandelions

There were times in this world
when I stopped dreaming
when I had ceased to believe in love
Then you came into my life
and without you knowing
you showed me back my heart
I thought I lost it,
I realized, I did not..
then I started to smile..
I am grateful for everyday
that I am living
because each day
becomes more and more beautiful
to be living in.
you inspire me..
I have belief  in myself.
I have belief in this world.
and I have belief
that anything is possible
and that nothing
is too big or too small to handle.
This world is a better place
because you stood up
and reminded me
that life is too precious to waste
and that only we can change
who we are, no one else..
to keep on believing..
to keep on looking forward..
to wish upon the stars
to look up on the clouds
to be better..
to be calm..
to be HAPPY....
