DREAMLAND

DREAMLAND

I see, I smell, I feel, I hear
I wake, I sleep, I dream so clear
But as I dream, I know it as you do
That a dream is a dream, it can never be true

But you can't blame me for loving the feeling
When I'm in the place where all things are gleaming
Compared to this place where what rules is cruelty
To this place I've known so much as reality

So please when I dream do not wake me up
For dreamland will end... beauty will stop

SINCERELY YOURS

Sincerely Yours...


Time was what I wanted and what I asked from you
For you don't deserve broken pieces, I needed to be new
A new me, one that's better, one that's whole and with a smile
One that's strong, one that's wiser, who's funny but with style

I stood, then I walked... I ran, as I cried
When I let you in, all I want is for these tears to be dried
So when you look, all you'd see is the sincerity in my eyes
Something real, something true... wouldn't that be nice?

I don't play... not with love, for my heart is at stake
To be fair, I don't play so your heart won't break
If you'll go, then just say it... to ME and not on a "shoutout"
In turn, be fair to me... stop making me doubt

MY OWN WORLD

MY OWN WORLD

In my place, I freeze time
I make up my own rules and my own crimes
I punish myself, then I apologize
I make my own sky, I make my own sun rise

In this place I dream a lot
I chase the rainbows, I hunt the treasure pot
I dive my own deep, mysterious sea
To find this beautiful pearl, wherever it may be

As I make this poem of my own place
You'd think it's pretty, so full of grace
But if you'd only look closer, you'd see through my eyes
That this place ain't pretty... not even nice

There may be wonders, there may be beauty
But it's one place only my eyes can see
For in this place, there's only me on my own
Yes. Look closer... I... am...
Alone.

SMILE

SMILE

Before you sleep I hope you think of me
For when I sleep it's you that I see
We are far... many miles apart
But it's not a reason to stop the beating of my heart

I may sound crazy, or maybe untrue
But ever since I saw you smile, there was nothing I can do
And even when I went away, that moment haunts me
Forever it will remain, here in my heart... and memory.

The Key

THE KEY

When you first came, I never knew
That my life would be changed... changed by you
'Cause when you found me, I was down and low
Afraid to wake up, scared of tomorrow

But even though I was broken inside
You still chose to enter, and searched where I hide
Then you broke the wall that I built so high
And set me free... you made me fly

You freed me from the chains that bound my heart
So now it's you who holds its biggest part
In you I found this kind of love
That's so clear as the sky above

I have been broken, yes, you know
SO even if my weakness shall sometimes show
I hope I'd be forgiven, and you'd still stay with me
'Cause for you I'll try to change, just wait and see

So please never leave me, "I love you", this is true
My name is pink... with you, I'm never blue
'Cause you hold the key that keeps my smile
And my time spent with you will always be worthwhile.

STRANDED

STRANDED

I've been okay for a while,
Recovered myself from all that bile,
Picked myself up from a dumped pile
Yes, I have been okay... for a while.

But why do I find myself breaking?
Why do I feel that my heart is hurting?
Why do I feel myself longing?
No, I cannot continue pretending.

I have freed myself from all the pain
But why am I caught again in your chain?
I guess I thought what I felt before was already slain
Only to find out that it has always been there, it remained.

I guess I didn't want to continue to live so numb
That's what I have been, I stopped my heart to throb.
I guess I opened up again though it cost a thousand sobs
I would hate it to be numb again... I would rather love.

So here I am again, as if in your leash,
Again hurting and aching, like freshly wounded knees.
Trying to continue fighting this all familiar anguish
All this 'cause I betrayed myself... for my love is unselfish.

LOVE'S RHYME

LOVE'S RHYME

It's morning once again, I feel cold inside of me
I feel cold, a bit unreal, but somehow I still can see
How the sky changes, how it lights
From a dark color turning bright

And as time flows and passes me by,
I feel this yearning that I couldn't hide
I long to see your charming face
Or hear your voice, or just be embraced

But that can't be, for what is true
Is that you're far for me, that I knew
But even though, we're miles apart
Your presence drown me inside my heart

And as the notes of my heart plays,
I'd feel like singing as your memory stays
For as I know, my life may not be long...
But then thanks... for being the rhyme inside my song

JEALOUS HEART

JEALOUS HEART

Run away, just run... don't ever look back
Just be careful how you depart, don't leave track
For time is ticking, it is coming now
It's getting stronger, I don't know how

You wouldn't want to be there to see its face
You wouldn't want to be in that same place
When love turns to hatred, pure bitterness and bile
The monster inside with its crooked smile

In the darkness you'd see its red glow
But without warmth... it's cold as snow
It will then creep up and flow through your veins
You'd feel sick then throw up with bloody stains

So go now, or else you'll die
Don't ask me, for I don't know why
Just run, be fast, and never turn
For jealousy's rage is strong enough to make you burn

CRUSH

CRUSH

Before you sleep I hope you think of me
I think it's only fair 'coz in my dreams it's you I see
We are far, many miles apart
But it's not a reason to stop the beating of my heart

I may sound crazy, or maybe untrue
But ever since I saw you smile, there was nothing I can do
And even when I went away, that moment always haunts me
Forever it will remain, here in my heart and memory

ONE STRANGER, ONE FRIEND

This poem is one I made for a stranger I met along the beach. I was so fed up at that time with all that was happening with my life, it was 3 o'clock in the morning, and I just felt that I had to have someone to talk to. I couldn't confide with someone I know 'coz things might just get worse and I may get biased opinion or advice, for the friend I might talk to may either side with me or the other party. So I decided to look for a stranger to talk to. I got lucky because the one I got to talk to turned out to be good at giving advices. We finished at the exact moment when the sun was just rising. I remember that time, I was so absorbed with our conversation that the very moment she said her final words of advice, I was surprised by the beautiful sight of the sun in front of us. We instantly became friends at that moment, and though we never got to see each other again, I got her address and sent her a painting with this very poem in it.

ONE STRANGER, ONE FRIEND

Once upon a time, I met a stranger
Who, upon one dark day of my life has been my savior
That day, I was broken and my heart was shattered
This person helped me, though others wouldn't have bothered

A stranger still, but a friend at heart
That's how it began, that magical start
I felt alone that time, so betrayed
But she cared to listen, 'till sunrise she stayed

God showed me that even if it's dark at night
Another day will come, a new friend will shed the light

SOULMATE

SOULMATE

My soulmate, I feel it's you
I don't know why, but the feeling is true
My true love, I've never been so sure
'Till I met you, this love is so pure

My baby, I always want you near
For when you hold me, I forget every single fear
My partner that makes everything alright
Just by your smile each day and night

My music.
You put the beat in my heart.
Along with the rhythm--- "Till death do us part."

BITTERNESS

BITTERNESS

Yeah, I lost in your stupid game
I was just your pastime, it's such a shame
But though you've fooled me and played with my heart
And made me believe that we'd never part

Someday you'll get back the pain you've caused me
But it would be more painful, just wait and see
I've been your bitch, your toy, your friend
After you\re done with me, you just cut me off in the end

You think it's funny letting me take the fall
Watching me cry for help, looking at me as if I'm your doll
That you can just hug, or kiss, or talk to
And if you wanna prick with a needle, you'd just do

But you know what? Mark my words
For you it will not be needles, but rather swords
You'd feel fucked up, low and dying
You'd feel hollow and torn, you'd be crying

Crying without knowing the reason why
Your life will be black like what you did to mine
And on that day I'd laugh out loud
You took me for granted, now it's your round

Count on it, your time will come
'Cause as I chant this, it would reach its home
It's for you, you know who you are
Wait for your turn... it's not that far

I LOVE

I LOVE

I love, I love, I hurt, then I cry
When it comes to the middle, I keep wishing to die
But in the end, after all the pain subsides
I start at the beginning...
Loving until so high
