# 001: The words that I yearn to find
The words that I yearn to find,
Are often beyond my reach,
To describe the tears I hold,
To allow my soul to preach....
I have a sudden urging,
To see things I've never known,
The maiden flight of a Firefly,
Or when a field is sown.....
I hope to feel the summer,
Transformed to drops of Summer Rain,
I like to see the colours,
On the wick of a dancing flame.....
Without you by my side,
All truth has turned to lies,
Just like the way your back is turned,
Beyond the comprehension of my cries......
This hand that felt your warmth,
Now feels the coldness of a pen,
In translating the things I feel,
Into the writings from my hand.....
I spend my life pursuing
This dream that was supposed to last,
But no man has ever won the wind,
No matter how quick and fast.....
I try to live life better,
With the memories I have in store,
But every moment bears your name,
And in my dreams I have lots more....
So I gave up on the struggles,
Gave in to all the fights,
As I tried hard to go and slumber,
To live through another night.....
----------------------------------------------------------------
# 002: Life
Life is full of laughter
But can even taste bitter
Why must we live on earth
Even though we know that life is a burden
Life is a way of challenge
That you want things to succeed
But do you think this is life
That you are battling...
Life is nothing towards me
As I can eventually find happiness
Having friends beside you
Is indeed nothing that be compared with
Life is like time
Where we will grow each day
Never will the time stop
Till the last breath takes you away
Life is actually a treasure
Where the value no one knows
Treasure yourself now
Like god treasures you
------------------------------------------------------------------
# 003: A passionate kiss
His face was forgotten but the touch is lingering so long
It is soft on the lips yet the feelings were so strong
His name was washed away by the sands of time
But why do I still feel it after a long time?
I burnt away all the photos he left behind
Threw away the memories in my mind
Yet whenever I put my fingers on my lips
A part of him remains on my lips.
He was not inside the phone album on my shelf
When or how we met, I'm not sure myself
However the tears wouldn't hold back
Haunted by the kiss he gave back.
It was a passionate kiss
A part of him I couldn't miss
Why does it remain on my lips for so long
When he is already gone?
---------------------------------------------------------------
# 004: my house Â….
theres a hole in the roof
where the rain comes in,
the moment i close my eyes,
my head begins to spin.
there are windows out high
that stops the blazing sun,
where tears flow out,
to water the flowers out front..
theres a crack in the wall,
where the cold wind blows,
the scars it has left,
on my body does show...
theres a path to the garden
where i have close the door,
after you have walked out,
i am not expecting anybody anymore......
------------------------------------------------------------------
# 005: Midnight Dance In the Garden
Tossed and turned
I couldn't fall
prey to My Sandman's
tricks
I wandered to the garden
below
Starlight showered
on the canopy of the forest nearby
and the flowers in the garden
climbed up the air
to bathe in the stars' nightly song
In total wonderment
I blinked my eyes
and saw you there.
With a gentle smile
that you casually indulged in
I saw the starlight
twinkling in your eyes
No---wait!
That's your own twinkle
It came from within
And the flowers changed their direction
You inched towards me
with your right hand inviting
Was it my heart you were reaching for?
Looking at me for approval
your defenses collapsed
and you became a little boy
seeking approval
to hold my hand
Palms joined
and your veins parallel to mine
sometimes crossing, too
We danced to the song
of the Stars
The symphony was playing
in the background
The symphony
that belonged to Insect Kingdom
That night we forgot
about the ills of the world
and we danced away the troubles
in the Stars' warm blankets
I was up in the air
and you were there with me too
I thought I saw a firefly or two
but no---
it was your eyes,
beckoning to me.
I laughed.
You called it a princess' laugh
I laughed again.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
I woke up with a fairy next to me the next day. -
# 006: Stranger in the Winter Night
City caught in
A Christmas rush
The trees decorated
With little orange bulbs
Replacing the stars
In our skies
Walking slowly
In the turbulent sea of faces
Lost in a place
I grew up in
I clutched my trenchcoat
Friction with my skin
But the fibers
Went spiralling off
With my eyes
On the ground
Pictured a snowman
Out of scattered flakes
On the pavement
And everywhere else
I bumped into
Him
Looking up,
I saw
The spring blossom of all smiles
--------------------------------------------------------------
# 007: wishes
I wish I wish....
I could return to our happiest moments...
Wish you to held my hands once again
Wishes
I wish I wish....you be here for me regardless of all situation.
wishes...i wish for a dream to think of you.
I wish I could turn back the clock,
turn back time....that mark the end of our destiny.
I wish we never part......
wishes....
wishes....all my wishes to come true.
As long as there a wish there a hope...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
# 008: I Hate You... Not
I hate you not,
I swear I don't.
You infuse me with,
A warm fuzzy glow.
When I see you,
I close my eyes.
For to open them,
Means my heart will sigh.
And yet I cannot,
Tell you what I know.
And what I know,
Is that I adore you so.
It is my cowardice,
That drives me from you.
That I appear mean,
And melancholy isn't true.
But I cannot allow,
Myself to get near you.
Because I hate you not,
But I hate myself so.
---------------------------------------------------------------
# 009: Cherishing the Times
Here by the side I sit
Facing the cooling breeze
I remember
As time ever pass by without stopping
Once we sit here
Making wishes on pebbles
And with your left hand and my right hand
We throw far into the vast blue river
Here on the hard ground
I see marks of our presence here long ago
Your name and mine together forever
Etched in my heart I know
Our bond
Ever grow stronger
From many words to none
Left are smiles and laughter
Further on
Another name is added
Now three no longer two
Laughter abound then
Now as we grow
Things are here and gone
But still we three are still here
Laughter still abound
When time passes
I wonder about our friendship
Whether it is the same
Nope instead it grow
Sadness were there
Tears were there
Ignorance were there
But smiles abound
Here as we gather round
I thought then
Though we are around
But things are no longer the same
There are things I will forget
But not the memory we share
In time
I will look back and smile
I remember our bad and good times
I lost count of the tears and smiles we have shared
But I know I will not forget
I cherish the times we have
--------------------------------------------------------------
# 010: My Memory
Since the day you left...
forsaking every little memories of us both.
All I have with me are the bits and pieces of us
bits by bits it pieces up to a puzzle in my heart
a picture of us in our happy moments.
Though u have left
but deep in my heart
I have never left you at all
I am there for you regardless of where you be,
who you will be with.
All I know is that feelings i have for you that never dies.
You may have shattered my heart,
but you have once touched my heart deeps down.
You're always in that special place of my heart.
This won't change....no matter what happen in future.
My memory........where u belong.
----------------------------------------------------------------
# 011: Acceptance
Do I cherish you
You ask yourself
As here I am looking at you
You wondered
There were times when I look elsewhere but you
This is when you feel insecure
Yet when I look at you always
You feel too stuffed
When I gift you with my heart
You wonder how sincere am I
When I gift you with simple thing
You accept without questions
How much you think
I wonder when I look at you
But you never knew
CosÂ’ you are in a far away land
You wonder always
I can only watch you from afar
As you show a questioning expression
I never wonder but accept reality -
# 012: Togetherness
Distance, it's driving me insane...
While you stood right next to me...
All I see is but just a face...
Emptiness it filled both of us...
Memories, what it might be...
Even as I see you...
Your eyes, they just speak of nothing...
Not a word from you...
Tenderness, a yesterday's dream..
Laying in my arms, eternity it may seems...
But today has just woke us up...
You looked at me... How could it have been easy?
I stood by the sea...
The laughters...
The chatters...
I stood by you but you just isn't here anymore..
It used to be a lonely beach...
Now the loneliness is just all inside of me....
----------------------------------------------------------------
# 013: Just A Dream
Remembering someone is so hurtful
The pain you've been through no one knows
How long u can hold on till you are tired
Never to think too much if you are weak
To overcome all obstacles is a maize
Have you ever thought back
What you have done before
Why are you suffering with pain till now
Is this way people should treat you or
You are trying to overcome the fear
To start a new beginning you always want
But why you don't always get the chance
Or are you fooling me in all this while
To lend me his shoulder that never waits
To find this person is so strange
Awaits the one that you hope
To find him appear in your dream
Is he really you hope to be with
Or is it just a dream you never wished
Forget the past and stay forever with him
-------------------------------------------------------------------
# 014: Let go
My heart, I thought it has stopped... But it keeps sending me thumps of pain...
For it runs on the tears you've sent me... Creation of my destiny...
If the sky is really blue,
and the words you've once told me are really true...
What color should I be using to describe my feelings...?
The sky... If it's really dark...
Where should I start to search for the mark?
For the scar that you have left me...
Upon my shoulders it has carried me...
Through an endless route that always leads me back to the start...
That day... If you had told me so...
All this is but a beautiful dream...
At least I could have been less confused...
Holding onto this grip...
Watching it as my heart breaks...
When all I see is only of it slipping away...
Slowly... Dreams...?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# 015: The Courting Game
Side A
She told me that her feelings for me would never change,
But deep down inside I know her behaviour strange.
Drawn to her beauty like a moth to a flame,
I walked forward and took her challenge to the game.
The dice rolled in my favour when I began to start,
I wagered everything including my soul and heart.
It was a snake and ladder climb to the top,
Her turn to move forward whenever I stop.
She built hotels and houses on the board,
Spent my money on rents after every round I hoard.
Happiness beams from her after each collection,
My life trudging painfully all for her attention.
Then she decided to invite another player,
Whose aim was to become the best flayer.
She watched as the arbiter while we played the fairy pieces,
His powerful moves forcing me back with viper's hisses.
Eventually I relented as I found the going hard,
My opponent had even drawn the trump card.
I had played straight right into their hands,
And thereafter they had taken away my lands.
The game finally was over,
My heart shattered forever.
There was only one loser in the end,
She will only revert back to be my friend.
Side B
He knew what I told him was the truth,
His actions demanded me to provide the proof.
All I did was to let him have my evidence,
So that it would improve his confidence.
In the beginning he was totally cool,
He did not have any restriction, any rule.
His approaches were daring and interesting,
Every minute I could feel my heart thumping.
My senses told me that he was the one,
Giving me everything I need and all that I want.
He told me my smile was the biggest gift for him,
Hardly did he give me any nonsensical whim.
Soon everything began to shatter,
When my friend and I had a chatter.
He wouldn't believe that he was just another friend,
His behavior dipped and took an extreme bend.
Eventually he wouldn't even listen to my explanation,
Saying all the worst things he could ever mention.
I knew his heart had died since long,
Everything had gone bitterly wrong.
So I told him to go on a different way,
Since there was nothing more for me to say.
He wouldn't listen, he wouldn't trust,
And for me, it wouldn't last. -
# 016: Without You (It all begins with you and ends with me)
The girl walked into my life and gave me breath,
Was a gentle breeze that lifted me on my feet.
That tender arms and soothing voice,
Charmed and mesmerized me.
She is the one I am missing bare,
Like right missing left.
Oh dear, her eyes so pretty,
To render me with no wit.
Her magic kept me in her spell,
Yet so my heart will rejoice.
To know her name,
And for her to know he.
If God have a name it will not be fair,
For she is made so dainty.
If there is a place she shall dwell,
Even heaven cannot be the same.
And so he had a chance and walked into her life,
Like a blazing flame meeting ice.
The feeling of rejection stirred strong,
Wrecking all the nerves.
He is the one like the dozen,
In that week that wanted a wife.
Oh dear, he was so foolish,
Yet he still tried thrice.
His incessant kept her in the bleak,
As straightforward rejection is wrong.
Yet leaving his demands not answered,
Is not giving him what he deserves.
If we want answers God will not reason,
For reasons are not what we relish.
If reasons are what we seek,
Then answers had already been served.
So tell me where do I go,
If my breath is taken away?
Alone and I will die,
If she do not belong to me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
# 017: Fallen me... I adored...
Winter's snow,
lips cold...
On the mind it blows...
Emptiness which grown...
On a stalk of insanity...
In the house of flaws,
where the wrongs applaused...
Every game a score...
Rules of anxiety...
Morning brings a smile,
sweetness which I dwelled..
Moments which seemed hell...?
Blindness... The curse of eternity...
------------------------------------------------------------------
# 018: beneath Â…
Let me walk a while alone
Among the sacred rocks and stones
Let me look in vain belief
Upon the beauty of each leaf
There is green in every blade
The tree tops lean providing shade
Maypoles spin in happy sound
All nature's strength around
And there's a horse that feels no pain
Its iron strength to take the strain
Children rock it to and fro
And gaily drink its colour-glow
Above, the sky, devoid of cloud
Thinks not to cast a thunder shroud
Upon this place so full of joy
A field of gold of bliss employ
So, why my heavy heart? You say
When tears would stain
The sights so gay
My brother's dreams once here did soar
Until he died at the hand
Of needless war
-------------------------------------------------------------------
# 019: Tonight
LetÂ’s arrange to sleep
Under
The sky tonight
I shall feel your tickling fingers
Trailing hot salty tears of loneliness
From my tired eyes
Though separated by light years distances,
And the deserts,
The nameless oceans,
The magnolia fields
That we used to run together in,
And the isolated vacuum of time
In which
I long to be trapped with you,
Â…
We shall admire the moon together
And imagine it to be a mirror
Reflecting
Each otherÂ’s smiling faces back
I shall point at the brightest star
The one, that is similar
In fieriness and intensity
To the overwhelming
Orgasmic passion
You induce in me
Maybe
If you point at the same star
Our fingers will touch
Sending plasmatic electricity
Through distances long and far
Lighting up the entire night sky
As our existence cease to be
A meaningless vacuous lie
Perhaps then,
To celebrate this moment of enchantment
Confetti will start to rain down
On me.
------------------------------------------------------------------
#020: Untitled
when once,
you touched me, in the soft of your frangrance.
Though no stars proclaim,
the pain, my pain
still remains.
----------------------------------------------------------------
# 021: Stopping TIME
if only i could freeze Time...
I will choose to freeze the moments of happiness we shared.
If only i could stop Time
I will choose to stop the moment u left me..
if only i could reverse time.
I reverse it to where I first met u
Might as I wish,
Might as I dream I could,
I can't.
I can't stop the time i spent thinking of us
I can't stop the time we match like a jigsaw puzzle
I can't stop the heartbreak i had when we together
Last but not the least....i like to stop you from leaving me.
'Cos I can't stop myself from missing you -
# 022: Getting Over
I'll never seem to understand
why I need you so much
Why I stay up night after night
longing for your touch.
I'll never be able to explain
why I want you so bad
I'd give up practically everything
just to get back what we had.
If I could just have one more night
to have you whispering in my ear
To feel your arms around me
listening to the things I like to hear.
I can't help the fact that I miss you
I can't really tell you why
after everything you've said and done
and how much you've made me cry.
If I could just have the courage
to really try to make things right
I want so bad for you to be
pulling me close and holding me tight.
I don't really understand
why you had to say goodbye
you told me that you'd always need me
I should have known it was a lie.
You let me fall over you
and you knew it at the time
and still you insisted on telling me
that you would always be mine.
Now the only thing I think about
is everything that you do
and the question I keep asking myself
is how can I get over you?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
# 023 Waiting
Waiting...
I waiting...for the truthful one
waiting for one who yearns for me as much as i do.
Waiting...
Waiting for the rightful one
he whom hold the key to my deepest thoughts
waiting for the one to unlock my heart
waiting to held in his arm
with confirmation that we be together till old ages
Waiting..seems ages..
when will i be able to see the light ahead
----------------------------------------------------------------
# 024: Tears
Remember clearly the moment when he left
Remember the tear that significant the pain
the pain that cuts deep into me
Tears was the only form of expression
i could use.
Teardrop that drips down my face and mark the end of our relations
Months had pass and tears has disappear
yet the tears within my heart still flows.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
# 025: Apparitions of You Â…
Laying in the unforgiving darkness
Teardrops leave me
As my heart folds herself
Into a clamped position
To lick her wounds
And then, reopening
Releasing the fountain
Of uncontrolled emotions.
In the black
I see your illuminating smile
The smile that saw me
Out of my tunnel of life
The smile that fills each waking day
With an unexplained profound meaning
The smile that keeps me
From jabbing at all the hurt inside of me.
I can feel your body warmth
Radiating near my face
Carelessly caressing my hair
With those hands that know too much
Your temperature engulfs my entire shell
As I hide away from the entire world
In your cradling reassuring embrace.
In trying to reach the strong hand
That you stretched out to me,
My own temperature dips
And my energies gradually lose ground
Until I cannot feel your presence anymoreÂ…
My time is nearly up.
I donÂ’t understand what is sweet about parting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
# 026: Friendship
Like wave upon the sand
Like day and night
Like birds in flight
Like snowflakes when they land
But you and I are something else
Our friendship's here to stay
Like weeds and rocks and dirty socks
It never goes away!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# 027: For Carey
All the time when I'm looking at you,
I just can't help this feeling...
For the feeling is so real...
If I were to take it away from me...
I can't comprehense what this world might be...
All the while as I was sitting beside you...
I can just see your heart looking at me...
Smiling all its sweetness...
By a name of Carey,
that's you...
All the troubles I've caused you...
Make me realise that troubles mean nothing to you...
For in your eyes I'm like a star...
Shining a light in every corner of your dreams...
Of all the things I've wanted to tell you...
I just couldn't put them down in words to express myself...
Sometimes they would just send me tears...
So much I've felt, I just can't rationalise them...
For you to understand of all the above...
Everytime I speak the 3 words, it's so true to me and you... -
# 028: The Present
Life is a collection of moments
They are all important.
They all count.
After we live them, each of these moments is gone forever.
Guilt is nothing more than wasting today's precious moments on something that can't be changed from the past.
Worry is nothing more than wasting today's precious moments on something that may or may not happen in the future.
Today is all we have.
We need to live all of today's moments.
Today is a gift.
Thats why its called "the present."
------------------------------------------------------------------
# 029: Ma Chérie (My Dear)
Wandering the streets of France,
Looking for that someone to dance.
Once upon a time, I remember clearly,
Friends we were, and very much dearly.
The feeling was right, but the time was not so.
I cursed fate as I let you go.
Knew inside, as u bid me goodbye,
This was the last time I behold you in my eyes.
The tears would fall but I didn't want you to worry,
Deep inside me, my feelings I bury.
Told you I was fine, that I didn't mind,
Within, I was so lost, it felt like I was blind.
Waiting, for your return, the agonies endured,
But, drifted apart we have, like two ships unmoored.
Against myself, mighty battles I waged inside,
As I fought to leave your image untarnished against the tide.
What is this tide which overwhelms me?
The feelings of blame for you that be.
While we may not be like what we once were,
I'll never let the blame lie on you here.
And so for us, it ends this way.
What of the future, I cannot say.
Maybe we weren't fated to be together,
but our memories I shall cherish, I swear, forever.
----------------------------------------------------------
# 030: Missing youÂ…
Is life worth living,
when youÂ’re not around?
From the emptiness,
the silence is deafening,
not even a sound.
Is life worth living,
when I canÂ’t hold you tight?
Your warm embrace,
I long for,
in this cold lonely night.
Is life worth living,
when your voice I canÂ’t hear?
Like a silent movie,
as I close my eyes
and pretend you are near.
Is life worth living,
when I canÂ’t see your smile?
To indulge in your scent,
your warmth,
if even for a while.
Is life worth living,
when my heart constantly aches?
How much anguish,
how much pain,
how much till it breaks.
Is life worth living,
when lost is all hope?
No more dreams,
no more wishes,
no longer afloatÂ…
------------------------------------------------------------
# 031: IÂ’d do anything
Another day is going by
IÂ’m thinking about you
All this time
But youÂ’re out there
And IÂ’m here waiting
And I wrote this letter
In my head
CosÂ’ so many things
Were left unsaid
But now youÂ’re going
And IÂ’cant think straight
This could be
The one last chance
To make you understand
IÂ’d do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I canÂ’t put you
In the past
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me??
CosÂ’ I know
I wonÂ’t forget you..
Together we broke
All the rules
Dreaming of dropping out
Of school
And leave this place
To never come back
So now maybe after all
These years
If you miss me have no fear
IÂ’ll be here
IÂ’ll be waiting
This could be the one last
Chance to make you
understand
And I just canÂ’t let you
Leave me once again
I close me eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I canÂ’t forget you
And IÂ’d do anything for you
IÂ’d do anything
To fall asleep with you
IÂ’d do anything
ThereÂ’s nothing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
#032: Friends
A friend is a crutch when you're
falling apart. A friend is a pillar
when you have a broken heart. A friend
is a treasure without knowing why. A
friend holds you together and won't let
you cry
--------------------------------------------------------------------
#033: Happiness
Happiness isn't getting waht we want,
but being satisfied with what we have.
The way to be happy is to be grateful
even with the small blessings we
receive..I'm proud to be here and
having my spouse is enough blessing for
me!... -
#034: My Bride
The clock strikes 6 as I blinked at my
watch
It's now getting dark, the sun is about to
set
Everybody seems to be so cool, why
the heck do I felt like a fool?
Lord, Heavens! In this day, I beg you.
Please let me through...
I stood still next to my brother
He tapped my back and told me to relax.
My hands are sweaty, my knees are
shaky
I feel so tensed, this ain't gonna be
easy!
Flickering lights trailed down the aisle.
Little girls with crafted wings started to
march merrily
As they scatter white petals like as if
they were confetti
Telling me that itÂ’s the beginning of a
very long journey
Three little boys trot like horses
Holding each treasure, ‘Kids don’t
forget to hold your trousers!Â’
The RING that will bind us, the COIN
that symbolizes wealth
And the BIBLE which will guide us in
our upcoming quests
Relatives and friends entered in
partners
Carrying the CORD, VEIL and
CANDLESÂ…
People are piling up, my neck is getting
longer
‘Damn’, I said to myself. I just can’t wait
to see her!
IÂ’ve been blinded by this moment
Flashes of light, all cameras are set
The sound of the violin is floating in the
air
Chants of the choir, feels like heaven is
here
There were drum rolls deep inside me
From afar I saw her smile, Yes! My
Princess, my wife to be
Karen Denisse Celerio.. In a moment
you will be
Mrs. Karen Denisse Celerio-Guevarra,
and thatÂ’s because of me!
She wears a simple gown of white satin
and marquisette
Even if sheÂ’s a few meters away, ThatÂ’s
Calvin Klein, I bet!
God knows how long IÂ’ve waited to be
at her side
Now I release my breathe and stood up
with prideÂ…
Coz here she comesÂ…Here comes my
BRIDEÂ…

#035: Supporter
You give me hope
The strength, the will to keep on
No one else can make me feel this way
And only you
Can bring out all the best I can do
I believe you turn the tide
And make me feel real good inside ...
You pushed me up
When I'm about to give up
You're on my side when no one seems to
listen
And if you go
You know the tears can't help but show
You'll break this heart and tear it
apart
Then suddenly the madness starts ...
It's your smile
Your face, your lips that I miss
Those sweet little eyes that stare at
me
And make me say
I'm with you through all the way
'Cause it's you
Who fills the emptiness in me
It changes ev'rything, you see
When I know I've got you with me ...

# 036: Wonders
Wonder how life can be so beautiful
But yet not all are perfect
Seeing people all around the World
You might see the ugly sight
Is it a wonder to you
Wonder why friendship is so precious
Yet no one can tighten it
Quarrels and misunderstandings might occur
But there is a way to solve them
Do you ever lose a friend before
Wonder why you have to work so hard
Only if You are the only breadwinner
But is it true you can always support the family
Where you and me dont even know
Have you thought about it before
Wonder when miracles might come onto you
Which you never notice before
When help is wanted, surely there be a hand
Helping out you to pull you up
Have you met them
Wondering why wonders is like a dream
Where people think it's so common
Might be day-dream or an illusion
Where you always never know
Just stay cool and dream if you can
---------------------------------------------------------------
#037: I think
i think
i still think of u.
the years that we held,
the pain that we felt.
i m sure if we lived in a different time,
different world.
we might be able to make it,
might still be together.
we've lived our live thru hell,
we fight in our own heaven.
today i still am held in your cell.

#038: Dreaming of that stranger behind that pretty nickname
Have you seen...
that girl,
a pretty nickname on my screen.
A stranger yet a friend,
never met and yet so near.
I have been...
captivated by that stranger
behind a pretty nickname.
Faceless yet the beauty I see,
have not spoken and yet I hear.
How could this..
be.
A faceless stranger I am longing to see.
For every empty screen
my heart a beat it skips.
For every post not replied
a night I lose trying to sleep.
For every toss and every turn,
I dream a dream of that stranger...
I hope to meet.
Who is she...
that stranger behind that pretty nickname.
How I wish, in reality,
she too was dreaming a dream...
anxiously waiting for me.

#039: Songs
Songs are full of varieties
Never you will go tired of it
Nothing can be compared to it
Unless you don't like it
Try every kind till you choose yours
Angels can sing nice songs
But no one has heard before
Do you think what I think
Yet peoples mind are so different
Really nothing is so comfortable about
When you are lonely, have a slow song
Unexpectedly you had your tears falling off
Never thought of why it happens unto you
but just thought of those past you had before
Why must this song come by this minute
Actually songs gives you many feelings
Where you might wonder how it came by
Not to say it goes along with your heart
Fast and slow song will goes to your choice
Just sing along and you can follow the beat
Propose the person that you wanna sing to
He or she will be touched of your way
Prepare yourself well and you can win her heart
Wow song is so noble that can help one person
To win what he or she hopes to have!! Songs Songs.......

#040 :The winds that gently softly sigh
The winds that gently softly sigh,
Seems to signal the end is nigh.
Once I had joy, once I had bliss,
All flows forth now like blood from a slit wrist.
The silence is golden, the silence is heavy.
The feeling of pain, it is a levy.
For that game which guys and gals play,
It can hurt, as clear as day.
I think of her, I see her smile,
For her I flew 10000 miles.
The twinkle always in her eyes,
The way she gave affectionate sighs.
It's funny how life can be,
Fall from light to darkness so suddenly.
One minute you grin like a lout,
Next moment you sob your eyes out.
When all is finally said and done,
That fact is still that she is gone.
But, whenever I think of you,
Always, a tear will fall, my dear French girl. -

Teach you a trick, concentrate on those which are exceptionally good (in your opinion) and select 3 of them for your votes.
Don't have to read all 40 of them so many times. Take care of your eyes. -
