Prince Charming

If I look unto the sky

where the sun and clouds meet,

will I find my man

flying in a silly red sheet?

If I get lost in a forest

and bite a poisonous apple,

will my hero save me,

my prince so handsome and tall?

If I kiss a thousand frogs,

each with a thousand warts,

will I sooner find the right one which

to a prince charming distorts?

If I grow my hair so long

and trap myself on top of the tower,

will my man dare go all the way up

to take me with him forever?

Every night I wish upon a star

that a knight in shining armor I'll find.

Every minute of the day I'm dreaming,

seeing me and my prince in my mind.

Yet the hum of the wind stopped me

as it whispered to my ear:

"The best author, God, is still writing

your best love story, dear.."

EYES **

Through her eyes I see how her

heart leaps as she bursts into laughter

everytime she is with her man,

her mate, her bestfriend and her lover.

Through his eyes I see his heart

fluttering with every sight of her.

His smile shows his simple promise;

to bring happiness to her life forever.

For they share a love so genuine,

a feeling so pure and never would falter.

Their eyes see not the looks, the wealth

but what’s inside- the soul, the character.

Through their eyes I see their

undying affection for each other,

a love that never grows old, and

a promising story of happy ever after.

-LITTLE BOAT-

Its journey started by the break of dawn

Li’l Boat through smooth sea calmly sailed on

Morning sun lit the way yet came the winds so strong

‘til noon it was a struggle for Li’l Boat to move on

Unexpectedly a storm raged in the mid-afternoon

Gigantic waves crashed but Li’l Boat held on

Finally at sunset, Li’l Boat on the shore of stones

on twilight’s arms it rests, in its final destination.

                    Less lonely is the sky, no more ordinary night blue

                    Odd shades of black and white turn to brilliant hue

                    Vows of eternity witnessed by the moon in view

                    Everything above shimmers when love is shared by two.

YOU

This is for you,

for you who inspires me.

For whenever you smile,

you simply. . .complete me :)

I never knew how it started,

my feelings for you.

You were once just a brother,

a sibling that I rarely talk to.

One day I woke up,

surprised to realize

you just appeared so charming

right before my eyes.

My passion of love flared

like a clear sky enriched by stars

but too late to discover

this love wasn't meant to be ours.

The vision of you together

was a pinprick to my heart.

Every look you gave to her

enfeebled me in every part.

My Milky Way Galaxy

has turned upside down.

My world that was crushed,

clanged like a tin can.

My mind went revolutionary,

wanting to sabotage your relationship

but my heart can't afford to hurt you,

so I bring all the pain to sleep.

And yes, my love for you

kills me slowly like a cyanide.

You never knew, you never knew

but I am dying inside.

      It happened that I opened the Bible to seek for enlightenment and the first few lines struck me. . .

Psalms 53:1                  Fools say to themselves, ''There is no God"   .
                         They are all corrupt, and they have done terrible things;
                                      there is no one who does what is right.

               Indeed, there were some points of my life when I have doubted the existence of God. Many times, I wondered if my prayers really reached the heavens or just disappeared through thin air. People always hurt me, even my friends; I can't feel that my family is really proud of me; and everyone around me, I don't know how to trust them. I simply don't know why I exist!

               I finally asked God to hurt those who hurt me, punish them, and let them fall on their knees.
Yet, nothing happened. Totally none.

               Later, as I've known more about God, I realized that I was wrong. Absolutely wrong! He isn't a God of Vengeance, He is a God of Forgiveness, of Mercy and Compassion. He wouldn't want His children hurt and so I was a fool to think that He wasn't real. He was indeed like the air -- invisible and not felt most of the times, but still supports my whole life. I know without air, I could've died; and without God, I never could've even lived.

His Story

        I sat on the sandy shore with the breeze blowing my hair with caress. There I was again in my sanctuary, listening to an old man with a story of love. His story wasn't new to me. In fact, I've heard it more than a hundred times. it wasn't a fairy-tale like story, concluding a happy ending. His story, was a story of despair, of grief, and of regret. As he perfectly described the image of his beloved lady, I've proven how great his love was for her. And even after the length of time that have elapsed, his love for her never faded. he had the love that could climb every mountain and cross every ocean for his lady, but too bad, he did not have that little courage to tell the lady how he feels. His story wasn't the best story that I've ever heard. But his story, was the story that taught me a lot. With his story, I had promised to myself, I will fight for love!

Together again...

   I walked along the peaceful boulevard as I felt the coldness penetrate my skin and deeper to my bones. I breathed deeply as I waited for the first ray of light to strike the place, for only light could eat up the truth that I am a lonely, homeless child. Time after time, I witnessed how the silent city transformed into a busy place. People passing by, vehicles beeping loudly, and establishments starting to open for the day made me smile. It was a joyous scene for me. Now, I'm not alone at all.

   I rushed inside a shopping mall as I happily watched the summer displays. Every item justified the summer sensation. I was about to touch a ball when a little girl appeared in front of me. She was smiling as she called her mother and pointed the ball. Her mother walked towards my direction as she stared at me. I pitied myself and walked away. I thought deeply... if only my mother's alive, maybe I would be as happy as the little girl.

   As I continued walking, something stunned me. A gold necklace! I looked around. There were no signs of "whoever" could have dropped the necklace. I picked it up and carefully inspected. Moments later, I heard a whistle blowing from somewhere. I glanced for awhile and saw a security guard running towards me. His eyes showed how eager he was to capture me. I didn't know what to do. I ran away. I ran as fast as I could. But together with my heartbeat, the whistle just got louder and louder every second. Tears streamed down my face. I was hopeless.

   Bang! A loud sound stopped me. I felt a pain on my lower back. Seconds later, my innocent body finally met the ground. I opened my eyes slightly as I watched the clear sky. The clouds were as though forming the image of my mother. I closed my eyes and whispered, "Mom, this will be my happiest day. I will be with you again, soon." With all the might left inside me, I smiled for the last time. Everything was out of my consciousness now.

Where I am today is where God wants me to be!

 Smile through the trials and laugh through the pain...just continue dreaming :)
