Take a Chance on Me

Would you take a chance on me?
Make me feel like your own
Bring me to your world
Don't let me be alone

Let me in and see
The depths of your beauty
Your charms and honesty
Your words, my security

Let You Go

Slowly, he is replacing you

With thoughts of sprightly melodies

And fond memories

You were hurting me too much

Too silent, inexpressive

I don't know if I could

Still wait for you

I will only wait

For the day

When I would forget

The confusion and pain 

That I have dealt

When I was thinking of you.

You Got Me Smiling

Woke up in the morning
With you in my head
I thank God I'm alive and I'm breathing
Because you got me smiling

On my way to work
With my headphones on
I nod my head to the music playing
Hey, it's our song and you got me smiling

And here I am
Thinking of our talks
This poem that I'm writing
It's for you, I think I'm falling.



Inspired by the song of Sheppard called Smile. :)

I Know Where I Want To Go

I know where I want to go
I want to go to new places
And see different faces
To figure out puzzling mazes
And fill out empty spaces

I know what I want to be
I want to be a better me
To fill a life full of glee
To not wallow in misery
And to be satisfied in the thought of eternity

I know who I want to marry
Someone funny and jolly
Someone who would keep up with me
What times are hard, he would not leave my side
He would hold my hand and remind me of
The God who we love and who is alive

I am on my windowsill

I am on my windowsill
looking afar
wondering about places
or doors ajar

I am on my windowsill
Sitting and waiting
for the doors of my heart to open

I am on my windowsill
daring anybody to come near

I am on my windowsill

Something Beautiful

Woe is me

Bitter with self-pity

Who will love me but me

Or the God who I trust

He will set me free

From this bondage of sin

The darkness within

No, He will not let it win

He is just beginning

He will mend my broken wing

And fix me right up again

Using my brokenness into something

Something beautiful

Something hopeful

Something true 

Something new

Someone who would say

I love you.

Too Late

Oh boy, you have no clue

What have you have done

Or when is your cue

Poor boy, you missed your chance

You let love fly by

Without a glance

Too late, boy, don’t chase her

You made her cry

She has found another

It’s too late to try. 

What Remains.

If the sun does not rise
Would I still speak of Your glory?
If the stars cease to shine
Would I still recognize Your grace?
If the mountains fall
Would I still feel Your power?
If the rivers go dry
Would I still know of Your love?

When all things cease to be
and they will be
You will remain
You are the Alpha and Omega
You will forever reign

When the people screams of despair
You will make yourself known
Even without Your works
Only You can inspire the hearts of these people
Only Your majesty will bring wonder
Only Your love will make them believe
That You are the God of forever.



This poem is inspired the song "One Thing Remains" sung by Kristian Stanfill.

Guiding Light

It has been ages since I posted a poem in this blog, hence, I'm posting one now.

Guiding Light

Your light it will never waver
It never fail to let us remember
Of Your love, Your grace
Of Your faithfulness
Of Your mercies that are new
Every morning

The light You gave us
Continue to struggle its way out
Into the dark and damp world
This light wiggles its way out
This light cannot be contained
For it glows like the sun
The heat is searing
Our hearts burning
Passionate and resonating
The symphony that the Light brings
Is never ending.

The warm blaze inside is coming out.
This guiding light
It burns bright
This star.

Longing

Longing 

This cruel longing have started again
When it has barely healed from the pain
Many times I’ve asked, “What will I gain?”
This cruel longing is driving me insane
 I’ve lost focus on the true prize
To be a faithful follower in His eyes
This painful longing, please take it away
So that I can enjoy Your presence everyday

This year, I have I told myself (and some of my friends) that I will focus on my career and my ministries with God, next year na ang love life. I told myself that I would not be "kilig" for my crushes nor am I going to have a new one. And now, I don't know, I am being tempted to lose focus again. But I will pray for it, and I hope you will pray for me too, whoever you are or wherever you are. Thanks!

This is the day

This is the day

Gone are the days when we weep or cry
This time we stand up, we must  try.
This is the day, a brand new door
Here it is, what are you waiting for?

Stop all the folly and focus on what's right
Never quit, do everything with all your might.
Though the sun may turn into a dark night
Wait for the dawn and hold on to the light.

 

 

Not my best, but yea…

Bleak, Wrath, and Farewell

Bleak

Thirst for joy and hunger for peace

The world gives you nothing; everything his.

Plead for happiness and cry for hope

They give you nothing but a piece of rope.

They say look up and open your eyes

Try not to drown in the pool of lies

Try not to succumb in the realm of deceit

Where everything lies in the bed of conceit

If I told you that you have to do this alone

Will you fight the madness on your own?

Or will you wallow in your fears and sorrow?

Will you extinguish the light for tomorrow?

Will you allow your cornerstone to crumble?

Will you relinquish the giants of destruction?

Will you brandish your sword and lift your shield?

Or will you kneel down and say you’ll yield?

Nothing will stop you, pursue your path

Regret nothing, face the aftermath

Value what is right and what is real

Desire will complicate the things you feel

If you have God, choose His side

He can see you, you cannot hide

If you do not, it is time to decide

Settle or hesitate; His arms open wide

I made this in the wee hours of the morning. I don't know what's the inspiration or the reason for this urge to write a poem... it just came to me. Another one of the poems that begged to be written, this was. I do not understand myself nor do I try, so I let the words flow out of my head and into my hands and they type. Anyway, here are the other poems...

Wrath

Summon the soldier of hearts

Brace the archers, release the darts

Bathe in the shower of asphyxiation

A torrent of flowery admiration

Chiselled promises carved in stones

Plunged in a fissure with broken bones

Pupils dilate with searing hate

Unending curses of the irate

Whisk the undiluted potion of pain

Pour it to the brim of absolute strain

Mix it with uncouth and the uncanny

Billow the Ares of gory history

Astounding dementia swallowed whole

Eyes of the weary, black as coal

Consumed by nothing but the dusk of dawn

Devoured irrevocably by the unknown

Farewell

Farewell my friend, I bid you goodbye

Farewell my friend, part ways and sigh

Farewell to darkness and abomination

Farewell to madness and miscommunication

Goodbye to anomaly and self-destruction

Goodbye to oppression and persecution

Goodbye to the hooligans and scavengers of gloom

Goodbye to you, my friend, goodbye to doom

Salutations to the governors of light

Salutations to the guardians of right

Salutations to the keeper of sanity

Salutations, warden of inner beauty

I wish I haven't met you.

Regret

I wish I haven't met you, I really wish I did not,
I did all I can, but you let it all rot.
You made me believe all your lies,
Then you left me with no goodbyes.

How do you expect me to react
With kind words and a kind heart?
No, sir, this is my limit,
You've stretched me enough, I cannot take it.

What can I do, when you cannot see,
The things you did, the times you've hurt me?
I used to like you and your smile,
Now, I loathe you, go drown in the Nile.

Most of all, I hate it when you made me feel stupid.
You told me stories, but the truth you hid.
Shut up! Stop! Get out of my mind!
You're a memory best left behind.


* The result of seeing things you do not like to see, because it brings regret and sad memories. I saw a name that I should have not seen, and I remember things that I should not have remembered. Do you know Mouth of One Tree Hill? He said a quote that goes like, it's okay for him to take in the bad memories as long as he take in the good ones too.. or something like that... or I think it went like, give me regret at least I can have the good memories too. Well, in my case, you can take it all, I just don't want you in my life. You made it all complicated, you gave me heartaches and instabilities that you would never stand up to. You gave me stories and lies. You gave me doubt and you made me think twice about myself. I never want to experience that way again.

You might wonder who am I talking about? It's a very complex person, yes, I called it an "it" because "it" is a mixture of the people who abandoned me and I disliked. "It" is someone, who I squished all the people who made me sad for whatever reason, into one being. Get it? "It" is like a trash bin where all the trash is thrown. So there you have it, "it."

Little Heart

Little heart

Oh Proud heart

Can’t you see how wrong he is?

Can’t you see that you’ll hurt yourself again?

Tell me, proud heart

Tell me how you’ll cope

Tell me what will you gain?

Oh pitiful heart

It’s too late to let go

You are hexed and so smitten

Take heed, little heart

You took the risk

Prepare bandages, start again.

Don’t cry, little heart

It will mend

Dust yourself, stand up, and begin.

** I have written this last year and felt like posting it, so here it is. (medyo untimely with all the stuff going on, pero it begs to be posted eh, I don't know why)
