Falling Leaf, A New Dawn

The odds, a leaf falling on my face
as I watch the sun retreats behind the clouds
contemplating, I should move on against tides
I must let go of the burden, pick-up pace

like the tree dropping its dried leaves
I must let go and shed the sadness
the sun may have set, tomorrow it’ll rise
hold on and wait until the dawn comes

I have watched the shut door too long
hugged the memories deep inside my soul
time to look for the open windows
leave all to experience and move on

I decided to live and will chase for happiness
there is more to life than what I made of it
I was just too afraid to open my heart
it’s behind me now, time to continue the quest

love and life is about living life to the fullest
and not to dwell on the failures and its darkest
run with the wind and conquer thy fears
bury all the doubts and hurt, let your spirit soar

I No Longer Dream

A fairy in white dress, smiling at me
I fumble upon seeing her face
She is always with me
She just seats there under the tree

She’s the reason I smile
In the morning, she’s my sunshine
She gives me strength when I’m down
My best friend who listens

That was before I met you
When my dreams where better
Better than my reality
But did change upon my glimpse of you

Suddenly the fairy has left
Under the tree that she used to be
There you are smiling at me
It’s no longer a dream but my reality

Now I no longer dream
Because I don’t need to be
All I just have to do
Is call you and be with me

Our Journey Together

Most of the time I talk too much, I know
It’s because of the overflowing of emotions
The love I have for you that have grown
Shut my mouth and my chest would explode

Every time you get irritated, just calm down
I won’t be like this if I am not head over heels
Every time you get annoyed, just feel me
Your heart will win over the intolerant mind

I too get angry at myself all the time
But every time I realized you are mine
The anger turn sweet and then I just smile
This kind of love is once in a life time

There are times that you are sweeter than sugar
Those moments in my heart will remain forever
There are times that you are worse than a tiger
But in the end your cute kitty side reigns over

Your intellect amazes me, sometimes a bit scary
Like a prosecutor in courtroom you argue like no other
I never compromise myself before I met you either
But to you I always concede, you are my master

I am not sure of anything not even my maturity
But I will go on with you on this terrific journey
You go west or east; I will go wherever it will take me
The story is about us and no longer about me

Together we will be against all uncertainties
Together we will fight against a world of prejudices
Together we are stronger than the warriors   
Together we shall be declared life's winners

Apologies and Forgiveness

I thought I lost you, I almost died
I thought I lost a friend, I cried
It hurt so much, glad I survived
it was a nightmare, it’s over, I’m glad

like a busted light bulb, I lost the light
It was the darkest hours of my life
Like the fangs of a thousand wolves that bites
I almost succumb to the pain that cuts

I thought I was the only one hurting
Then I heard your voice, you’re crying
Intense emotions flooded, I almost drown
Never had I realized I was stabbing you and I

Then complete silence on the line
Only constant agonizing sobs on the phone
Love finally fought back and won
Now we are closer than ever been before

In love, it is never an option to walk away
Surrender and you lose true happiness
When love is true it always find a way
Apologies accepted, time for forgiveness

Deafening Silence

i can hear your silence
i can feel the cold
i guess it's the winter
but it is not
it's your heart
i can no longer hear
your silence is deafening
a single word of response
it makes me cry
a bleeding heart,
pounding like hell
soon the body cannot handle
and what will be left
is one last deep breath

A Love Story

A warm night it was, on the beach
We were talking yet you are far away
Your mind is somewhere else
And you kept on admiring the seashells

You can deceive others with your smile
As if everything is just fine
I see you laugh so often
But never saw you happy even once

You’ve been living in a box
You have embraced loneliness
A prisoner in a world you made
Your best friend was your bed

You were living an empty life, living for others
You existed, surviving but not living
As fragile as you are, you've been a real fighter
For you need to, for the sake of your beloved

A starry night on the beach again
It was a different one this time
Like a kid you’ve played with the water
Never seen you so happy, not in a while

It was that night, genuine laughs
The glowing water made you forget
Burdens that you carry within yourself
The iron-mask suddenly disappeared

For a moment I saw the real you
The person behind that tough look
It was then, that I felt the pinch in my heart
Even from afar, I began to care

From a distance, I have watched 
You didn’t know, you didn’t have to
It was better that way, it was enough
Just to be near you, felt so great

Then came, unforgettable night on the road
Amidst the chaos in the car, with friends so loud
You silently uttered words, only I heard
Eyes fixed on a swaying tree that you admired

That was the second time I remember
Trees making you vulnerable yet somber
You see things others wouldn’t even notice
As most by material things that they are please

Suddenly I was arguing with myself
Is she real? Or just my make belief
Is she the one? The girl of my dreams
Indeed, she isn’t just another pretty face

Realization hit me, I am falling deeply
Not knowing if she’ll catch my heart
Still I kept my distance, be with her is enough
But my heart bleeds with her false laugh

She’s a diamond in a veil of sorrow
A great woman inside and out
But was kept in a dark shroud of pain
She just needed a light buff to shine

Fate has its way, things happened
Gods favored events that made us closer
It was heaven, first time we became one
Love bloomed, friendship got stronger

The girl that used to wear a tiger-mask
Became the jolly kitten, the sweetest
With so much love for life, she laughs
This time genuine laughs, true happiness

From the box, she came out
Now she’s the Queen of my heart
From the cave, I came out
I am now the King inside her heart
