MY p.o.e.m.s.

exhaustion
this time I thought it'd be different
that you'd want me for what I am
and not what I can give you
but so foolishly and absentmindedly
I let you take away my stability
and here I am again
filled up with vulnerability
when will it end?
my decisions made so blindly
the worst part of all
is the simplicity of my mistake
liking you was too easy
and the assumption you liked me too
it all seemed to fit so perfectly
and yet without any struggle
you managed to wrest what you wanted
out of me
and so I fell submissively
into the common trap of duplicity
you're all the same aren't you
deception really kills me
and my hopes endlessly abandon me
I thought it'd be different
and I was wrong
which I might as well inevitably be
if I keep letting this happen to me
but I now realize
that your wit and unique vivacity
are really disquising your dishonesty
and no longer will I entangle myself
in these webs of treachery
where trickery is displayed as your specialty
I'm stepping back and allowing myself
to have a lengthy break
I just don't desire for my uncertainty
paired up with your illusory
to lead me to another heartbreaking mistake.

dad
you will have victory
be strong
when you want to give up all you've fought for
when all the doors have closed and no more are opened
just wait for one more
focus your eyes on all of life's beauties
among the tragedies, injustice and bleakness
search for something worth discovering
don't let your strength lose to your weakness
when darkness is cast upon you
for seemingly no reason or purpose at all
embrace what it is that you're given
and rise up after each dispiriting fall
when you're feeling empty and lifeless
filled with silent screams
remember that life continuously flows
we are all from different paths
yet flowing into the same stream
when you are frail and shaken
don't forget you're protected
from the pitfalls of isolation
and in the outcome
endurance will replace solitude
while despair will submit to your fortitude
and faith will dominate that pessism
and nothing can wrest your optimism
when you trust and try and trounce the blows
and believe while inside you are bleeding
when you fight as a warrior against your foes
and stop following and start leading
you will have victory over anything.
---------------------------
you call it infatuation
when all I do and all I love
I throw away with just a shrug
not looking back or thinking twice
to even worry if what I did is right
maybe it's true because you've lived your life
but when I know I'd give the world for him
if I had it as my own
and I'd bring every pain upon myself
so he wouldn't feel alone
when I'd sacrifice what I have and hold
and push away my past
and build some dreamlike future with him
on a foundation bound to last
I know I'm more than infatuated
when without him all else appears empty
the seconds of every minute each note to my ear
only him my heart lets me see
this tells me love is love
thats whats come over me
you tell me things get complicated
love is not all that matters
things leave your control
remains end up in shatters
but I'm learning more about love everyday
how I wish the world would go away
I ignore your disapproval and do as I please
forming my own opinions
so my heart can be at ease
I do love him
what else may be said what can I do
no ending lies ahead
I guess that'll show you
and then I can say in your face!
------------------------
when pain is around the corner
and it seeps into your heart and mind
and your strength slowly begins to unwind
keep your chin high
look deep into the cloudless skies
the most important factor to realize
when life is a seemingly great grieving tragedy
is that everything is planned out with intricate strategy
our maker of the heaven and earth
that resides in the clouds above
promises that his reasons are based on pure love
trust with everything and thru your sorrow
he will never fail you now
nor even tommorrow
as anguish unexpectedly invades your steadiness
hold onto your faith and hope
with constant readiness
he knows you can when you believe you cannot
he knows it is possible when you believe it is not
most importantly he knows you will see light in this darkness
when you believe you will never see it again
and the time will come for you to discover
everything works out in the end.
-------------------------
a changed heart
you used to love me
and probably still do
deep and dwelling within your heart
hankering to bring forth my love for you
my feelings changed
I set my eye upon you
you-torn, broken and snubbed
you simply needed to be loved
and yet my restive thoughts don't let me
declare what i long from you
because of all that i've been through
I continue to remain stubborn
when my heart thirsts for more of you
and so as I continue again
to easy my way into your mind
your once stable strings begin to steadily unwind
although I don't deserve you
your unsullied love
such sweet honesty
I know your love will come back to me
this time no one will be shunned
it's the beauty of your love
and its power to touch my heart
that holds me eternally stunned.
---------------------
turmoil
I'd love to take my own advice
re-evaluate my life throw away the lies
forget all the whos whats and whys
when did I get off track and lose myself
endlessly diving in deeper and deeper
disregard that from here the climb becomes steeper
rockier, shakier, instability grows
within the depths of me nobody knows
men don't realize who women really are
no friend knows every solitary scar
every mistake intertwined with regret
every attempt with satisfaction never met
when does it get easier when do I know
that gradually complexities fade before tommorrow
that issues simplify themselves and die out
yet to continue on how do I know
assuring myself that its common these feelings
and turmoil is not as rare as I thought so
I'd love to follow my heart
and yet where does it belong
has every step I've made since day one been wrong
yet these questions are unanswerable and so its easy to see
its wasteful to wonder why all this is happening to me
pointless to grieve and miss days already gone
better to keep moving as life drones on.
--------------------------
what it means to me
the glimmering clear water brushes up against the sand
the soft and warm loveliness trickles thru my hand
I sit upon my eternally white blanket and gaze out at the depths of the sea
suddenly realizing this is what happiness means to me
the sound of absolutely nothing but merely radiant ripples lapping
and me washed up against the shore, contentment in my laughing
paradise rolled into one atmosphere
no other place desired than sitting here
the warmth of the sun blazing above me
and the cool breeze slightly scented salty
the feeling arising within me one of pure bliss
knowing I should always and forever feel like this
not only of peace and perfection but divine happiness
when I leave this is surely what I'll miss
my body feels like jelly as I lay buried in the sand
and my mind floats and soars enjoying this piece of land
of love and beauty and pleasure everywhere
ocean sound and steady wind blowing thru my hair
happy melodies far off in the distance
diving into the clear tropical water
seemingly vanishing my existence
cool and deep and blue as I swim much farther down
I sink so deeply I can only hear the oceanic sound
the happy rhythmic beat vibrates into my ear
such unbelievable enjoyment being here
I know this is what it means to me
this everlasting island engulfing me
I feel like remaining here until it all runs away from me
while my delight ceaselessly conquers all eternity.
---------------------
sure love is full of simplicity
but with these emotions soaring within me
my emotions all disorderly
astonishing, this warmth you bring
your smile, your style
your everything
my constant, ceaseless reveries
consuming every action
of mine
besides joy and satisfaction
you endlessly shine
love you more than words
more than hugs, more than kisses
you've fulfilled and you're fulfilling
what surpasses all my wishes
what remains is the impossibility
to fathom what's come over me
my passion, my bliss
makes it challenging to say
love is simple like this
if ever you go far from me
plain and simply stated, it'll be
every inch of you I'd miss
residing within is an understanding that
in this place my heart is at
the only thing i'm sure of when all is said and done
is you are simply the one.
---------------
confiscate my fervent reveries
wash me of my fitful memories
gather our passion for each other
and embrace me with it
induce me to focus on our present
and not the dreadful transient years
for when the thoughts stir up
so do my tears
tell me I've learned my lesson
and move on
love my life and the girl I am today
adore how you console me in your charismatic way
what more may I ask of
when I possess your affectionate heart
is (nothing more special than that)
an abiding relationship
and a promise we'll always be together as one
I will stay as long as you like
for our brilliant love is paralleled by none.
------------------
alone
when I needed you
so unbelievably badly
you simply told me blindly
and so absentmindedly
I'll always be here
yet soon after you just disappeared
frolicked back to your ignorant world
and I
was left to wither and wilt
I felt wretched
cheerless and dejected
you turned your back on me
not wanting to face reality
it was quite a challenge to realize
loyalty is as rare as honesty
your excuse was that I should be on my own
spend some quality time alone
the thing is, is that
loneliness can turn into insanity
thinking and thinking so pensively
until the pondering gnawed at my personality
I don't know much of myself anymore
why I am here
my once dependable ally
left me to wallow in my insecurity and fear
when I needed you
so unbelievably badly
you left me.
------------------------
one nation
He is good to those who wait for Him
and although suffering gives the allusion
of prevailing
hate and injustice will always end up failing
because in this nation of good and love and hope
where unification is strengthened through this
our people will always find a way to cope
even if there are thousands of loved ones we miss
we are equipped with our weapons
of forgiveness and fortitude
the earth is filled with the goodness of Him
giving us an eternal, encouraging attitude
hatred is a ridiculous factor of life
but our love and perserverance cover up our strife
and has somehow gotten us this far
we honor the forsaken and tormented
and continue to battle peace vs. war
most importantly we realize
how many precious people were lost
husbands, wives, sisters and brothers
aunts and uncles and fathers and mothers
co-workers, friends, in-laws and cousins
all swiped away from their lives by the dozens
and those lives were incomplete as can be
only to be looked upon and cherished now in memory
as a result we unite and scatter our love
more frequently than ever before
we've discovered a newly found cause
and there is nothing that we need more
so through faults and differeces and disputes
that we somehow everyday come across
simply remember that these are ingredients for hatred
and is the very thing that caused our great loss.
---------------------
his wisdom bestowed upon me
how may I express the way hes touched my life
an inner peace so powerful to take away my strife
judging on how life has introduced itself to me
by now I thought I would have lost my sanity
my grief and distorted stages enveloped my entire mind
and the time
I wasted countless minutes, hours and days
it now lets my heart embody itself with growing faith
honor His name and word
He has brought infinite good
honesty, deliverance and patience
all the goodness He said He would
how may I express the solace imbued within my soul
slowly my relationship is developing my desire
to let my heart swell with zealous fire
so much of the world is blind to the importance of the Lord
even after seconds of praying how my happiness is restored
love and understanding it pours in character
and how I feel fire stir
change your evanescent time to dedication to Him
faith only comprises one definition
to believe in whom we do not see
our sweet reward lets us see in whom we believe
for all of eternity
invite Him into your life, most importantly your heart
from this day forth may He reign in you, from its very holy start.
----------------------
Adieu
cold, quiet, this silent moment
residing before me
he is much
much of what I'd hoped he'd be
sweetness, yes it envelops me
breathless, perfect
tranquility
there you are
seconds of a tender embrace
you fill me up
if ever I could feel that that is enough
my heart would allow this stealthy escape
let you be
oh how can I make that happen to me
assurance, strength, capability
these remains entwined with vulnerability
desire, yearning, infatuation
can this be named ruthless reality
ideal night
winter, moonlight
lingering before me
he is much
much of what I'd hoped he'd be
traces of possibility
if only a twist of fate
a completion to something, everything
You
what my heart would've wished for
in a soul mate.
------------------
My psalm
I can't put my thoughts into words
I want to exult you, venerate you
and cry out for a hug
I yearn for your satisfying, peaceful presence
to settle in your arms so snug
please heal him
in fits of passion I long to hear from you
to fathom why things are this way
victories, tragedies
and to my dismay
unspoken injustice and embittered inequity
and promises of a new and unblemished day
I plead for signs of your miracles
other than sunsets and mountains
please begin with your healing
a mark of true mercy and power
to prove pain is not a permanent feeling
I beg for non-cliched solace
More than a fresh fulfilling promise
But signals that comfort is approaching
and not unreachable in an isolated future
Lord, let these open wounds be sutured
please heal him
Until then, bring me acquiescence
and submission to this necessary suffering
only You are an answer to this darkness
and now to You, my whole life I am offering.
please heal him.
