A Poem For Mama

A Poem for Mama

Gnarled hands that caressed a dozen face,
Wrinkled eyes of aging, a woman full of grace.
Through thick and thin, she stood by me,
Lucky and grateful, ‘til death I will be.

When I was younger, she would say,
“build your dreams, never fall astray”.
Those words she uttered, I pondered thoroughly,
The principles she taught, I followed faithfully.

I tumbled, I stumbled, as years went on,
She never left me, from dusk ‘til dawn.
My teenage struggles, the heartbreak it brought,
Instead of judging, my feelings she thought.

Sooner I recovered, I matured, I grew,
In her arms I mended, all bitterness I threw.
She made me realize, that love is not life,
Beyond relationships, true happiness rife.

Now I’m full-grown, by myself I can rise,
Due to her guidance, I’m prudent and wise.
My mother, my hero, can’t compare you to the rest,
It’s true what they say, that mother knows best.

I Love It

I Love It

I love it when you look at me with tenderness,
I love it when you smile and say you care.
I love it when you kill me with your sweetness,
I love it when you stay and lay bare.

I love it when it’s just the two of us,
I love it when we go back to the first time we met.
I love it when things run smooth without a fuss,
I love it when we solve our problems without a sweat.

I love the way you say my name,
I love the way you hold my hand.
I love the way you stay the same,
I love the way we kiss in the sand.

I love the way pout your lips when you’re mad,
I love the way you pinch me when I’m late.
I love the way you need me when you’re sad,
I love the way you tell me that you’ll wait.

Just Another Fern

Just Another Fern 
(A confession…) 


Love at first sight this must be, 
Such beauty and grace I live to see. 
Portrait of perfection in the spring air as you dance,
My precious daffodil, spare me a glance.

I peeked, I stared, I witnessed, I died, 
By the sight of a foe longing to be at your side.
Jealousy whispered, its icy breath I felt, 
Packed with love and courage, to your highness I knelt.

You answered my prayer, even said you were pleased, 
But why do I feel that your happiness I seized? 
It struck me like thunder, your coldness revealed,
You’re in love, but not with me, an ugly truth unconcealed.

I dreamt, I saw, I tried, I failed, 
Disappointed and hurt, but love never paled. 
I would rather go blind, I would hold on ‘til I dry, 
I would keep on hoping, I would try and try.

To retreat and surrender, I will never learn.
I'm just another lover, just another fern.

I Hate It

I Hate It

I hate it when you’re acting like a brat,
I hate it when you don’t care.
I hate it when you’re screaming like a cat,
I hate it when you’re not being fair.

I hate it when things go crazy between us,
I hate it when we don’t talk.
I hate it when you say nasty things and cuss,
I hate it when instead of listening you mock.

I hate the way your friends back you up,
I hate the way they hate me when they should not.
I hate the way you lie a little and start acting like a pup,
I hate the way people look at you when you dress up hot.

I hate the way we make up and make sweet promises,
I hate the way we break them and start fighting again.
I hate the way you don’t respond to my kisses,
I hate the way we have to do this every now and then.

Hearty At 40

Hearty at 40
(A poem dedicated to the love I lost)

1, 2, there’s me and you,
3, 4, to the sky, let us soar.
5, 6, your broken heart, I’ll fix,
7, 8, say yes, don’t make me wait.

9, 10, you’re Barbie, I’m Ken,
11, 12, 13, such beauty I’ve never seen.
14, 15, to my shoulders you can lean,
16, 17, 18, be with me, my queen.

19, 20, my Aphrodite,
21, 22, do you love me too?
23, 24, only you I adore,
25, 26, 27, can you take me to heaven?

28, 29, I am yours, you are mine,
30, 31, 32, we will make it through.
33, 34, 35, I’m happy and alive,
36, 37, 38, a promise bound by fate.

39, 40, I love you, my Hearty,
If you ask me why, reasons I won’t deny.
Don’t mind what they say, together day by day,
My feelings are sincere, so baby have no fear.

Helpless

Helpless

The night is dark and the world is sound,
The cold wind touches my face with a warning.
I’m all alone; I hear footsteps on the ground,
From a distance, a young man is mourning.

“Close you eyes and count to ten,
Walk away and don’t ever look back.”
Slowly his face fades beyond my ken,
I wish to run but courage I lack.

I’m torn between reality and dream,
Shall I hold my breath and wait for death?
I feel guilty, my urge and conscience scream,
I want to help but I’m catching my breath.

I see the culprit; I want to shout,
Who is there to help me? Who is there to care?
He flees and takes it all without a doubt,
I stand still before the corpse with a prayer.

If I screamed for help, would he be dead?
If the bastard saw me, would I be spared?
Too late for me to try, much has been said,
Too guilty to admit it - that I was just scared.

Gone

Gone

I touch your face with my sweaty palm,
I see the love but the feeling is gone.
You look through me, your smile so calm,
I remember that feeling, when your love was won.

I hate to feel this, but it’s no longer there.
What used to be happy now is no more the same.
I used to be faithful; I used to really care,
Now I don’t feel serious; my excuses are lame.

Maybe I’m tired of all the screaming and shouting,
I blame myself more than I blame you.
Maybe I’m sick of all the cussing and doubting,
I can’t stay this way; I know you feel it too.

It pains me to see you cry, to see you walk away,
But I’d rather hurt you now than lie forever.
Find someone else, there’s no use for you so stay,
I’m sorry for the hurt, but happiness you won’t find with me, never.

Have You Been Good

Have You Been Good?

I look at the grey sky smiling at me,
I remember the previous years that passed by.
I think of those times when I couldn’t hear, couldn’t see,
“Have I been good?” to this question I couldn’t lie.

Okay I was bad, but that was the past,
I learned my lessons the hard way.
If then I would quit, would decide so fast,
Now I think things over, pros and cons I weigh.

I’ve gone crazy, I’ve gone mad,
Stupid people, my honesty they judged.
Instead of being thankful, instead of being glad,
My good intensions were painted with fingers ink-smudged.

Thanks to you, who always believed and prayed,
Shame on you, who always misunderstood.
I am who I am, all my cards I laid,
Ask yourself this, “Have you been good?”
