Away From Here

In this world nothing is free
Even the air we breathe seems to have price
Even love is for sale
     though I hate to agree

Here, nothing is constant
Nobody is permanent
They all vanish in an instant

A place where money is made god
Where everything is bought
And good things are truly bad

I want a place somewhere
Where money has no power
   and love is free
Just somewhere away from here

Paradise In My Dream

The flowers bloom as I approach
And the birds sing to welcome me;
My mind is fumbling what to broach,
But my heart decides just to let it be

The stream flows and it is crystal clear
And the winds blow a kiss on my cheek;
My ears can't believe what it hear,
But my eyes can't keep to do more than just peek

The butterflies are coaxing me to dance
And the grass paves a way for my graceful move;
My feet say it's okay to miss this chance,
But my arms gesture to begin the groove

Time is so fair in this world I'm in
And fate forbid to keep me out for I will surely scream;
My body is shouting to leave and I hear its din,
But my soul wants to keep such paradise in my dream

The Poet I Am

When I am in pain, I am a writer, 
I'm not more of a fighter. 
I always become a poet, 
Especially when I am upset. 

When my heart is singing, 
I then begin penning. 
My happiness dictates the words 
So my poems seem to have some chords. 

I am just an ordinary poet, 
Someone who writes her frets. 
I also put my joys in history 
And make my life a happy story.

Meteor Shower

The night skies glimmer
As they rocket up and down
Dazzling and dancing

Awaited by hearts
Hoping that wishes come true
Gazers left in awe

Come, adorn the night
With beauty I was enticed
Bring me to the skies

Rainbow

You color the sky
With your magnificent arc
Please end at my palm

A Lonely Walk

I walk through a lonely road,
With burdens and heavy loads;
I don’t know where it leads,
Not even certain how the signs would read.
 
Been trekking this harsh, gloomy nights
And only on wishes that I see the light;
In dreams, I pray that the sun will rise,
But I know I still have to pay a price.
 
At times, to hope I dwell,
And if it is real, I can’t even tell.
All I’m sure are fears and pain,
That mess up with my tears and the rain.
 
I’m sick, I’m tired, I want to rest.
Oh, how I wish the birds would share its nest.
And so I’ll stand and walk again;
This time, through happiness that I long to gain.

Be Wise

What really can wealth do in this world?
And where does its power extend?
If all things are bought, if all things are sold
In what way then will the world end?

Dreams, illusions and ambitions
Can sometimes lead us to the road of destructions
Aims, goals and principles
What's the use if love is it cripples

There should be no room for confusions
If what are we supposed to choose
If it's love, if it's wealth needs a wise decision
Be smart, be witty so tears won't ooze

Always remember what love can do that wealth can't offer
It can save, it can heal, while wealth can't do any better
So realize that love's spell is lasting and infinite
Be reminded that wealth's power is fleeting and indefinite

Until My Heart Forgets

I lie awake, engulfed in your memories
Drunk in bliss that only my fancy creates
It's vivid in my mind  how your presence made me grin,
How your hackneyed jokes still rolled me laughing.
How we waited for the full moon,
And gazed at the stars begging for them to fall.
Even listened to the thunder roaring, found the lightning amazing.
How we kissed as we danced in the rain

But here in my reality
Thoughts of you bring me joy,
Yet pound my brooding heart to bleed.
There's no more joke for me to laugh
No more stars to fall
No moon that waxes, only wanes
And thunder sounds like my loudest cry
As I am being deluged in my own rain of tears
My mind thinks I am brave, but my heart believes otherwise
The pain is pierced, like the sharpest spear
Deep into my heart, down into my soul,
But I have to heal
Heal myself from my desolation
I will get through, 
I'll get over you
And when I do
My mind may still vividly remember,
But my heart will surely forget.

A Special Wish

People die for no good reason
    neither they kill for any good one
Endless animosity we spread through the world
And all we just do are vying for the most precious    gold
Christ's love we just seem to ignore
Extending our interests to only those worldly 
    things we want to explore

Pray, that's what I always do
Enkindle our hearts O God,
  not to be drowned by our bravados 
As I utter this prayer fervently,
  I also wish that peace would come true
Change our hatred to love and let us get through
Endlessly, I hope of this special wish,
  let there be peace.

If I Pass Away

If I die and go
Will lonely tears fall?
Will the butterflies,
The birds in the sky
Sing and dance sad songs?

Will they miss me?
Grieve and deplore?
I now wonder
What would they feel?

If I leave
My spirit
Will remain

Like clouds
Drift in

Bliss
