My Sinner and Saint

In this world of clear cut lines
Just between black and white
Adored a god of good
And enjoyed absurd pleasures
Loved for unadulterated happiness
Have 'caused others pain
Told children fairy tale endings
Believed in tragedies
Looked but dared to touch
Crushed the heart held in hand

A Sad Question

How are you?

I'm good , fine, great or ok is the usual response. Well, those are the expected response. But what if that is not what you feel? What if you're feeling the exact opposite? Do you lie or do you tell them the truth? Do they even really mean it when they ask you that question or are they just being polite?

'Cause there are times when you just want to blurt out that you're not fine, in fact, you're feeling so awful that you want to disappear. And you don't want to lie anymore. You want to put down the stupid mask and end the happy facade that's beginning to tire you out. But you can't and you won't.

So next time I get asked this question, I might as well tell them the truth and respond with a smile "I feel like jumping in a pool".

By the way, I don't know how to swim...

We're Good

The day is coming to a close
This side of the world is getting dark
You put a dot on your last words
A silly smile drawn in my heart
The waiting game is over
Long before we realized
Our lives have moved on
Without having to decide
We're as good as it gets
Learned too long how to let go
It may have been with regrets
But we'll go on with the flow

Wishing for a starry sky tonight

It's a Friday. The day started with heavy rains. But I think the sun is starting to come out. I still hear thunders though. A few more hours. And then we can drown our sorrows and laugh away our pains. Even for just a moment, our smiles will be sincere.

Thank You God for friends.

I hope I'd see a starry sky tonight...

Why?

A random thought.

Most of the time I wonder why, we, people do the things we do. The hurtful things. How some people could do inhumane acts to their own kind.

I guess we are all capable of good and bad. We can choose though, right? Why would some opt the latter.

I don't think I could ever understand. Maybe I would not want to.

It's just sad.

I don't like me happy

I never really liked me when I'm happy and hopeful. I feel like sooner or later something's gonna go wrong or things are going to break. That's me, a pessimistic, worrier lass. I know it's probably one of the reasons why I'm such a serious person and unable to enjoy the happy moments life and destiny has provided me. At times I wish that I could change me. But sometimes I feel that that specific characteristic keeps me from getting hurt. So now I have to choose between being too happy or possibly getting disappointed...

I hate me happy and giddy
Because of what I feel it says
I shouldn't feel ecstatic
For the things that was never said
I must not read between the lines
It may mean something else
But for now I'll stay lightheaded
At least until tonight
I'll crush my own hopes tomorrow
At the first sign of light

Thin Wooden Walls

Woken by a silent cry
Lying on a shaky ground
But here I see just a smile
And nothing else all around

Ears pressed, muffled sounds
Hums and buzz going about
Touching with sleepy hands
Breathing slow near your heart

This evening will come to pass
We'll forget and leave behind
Sheets, pillows and tears
The night, deaf and blind

Melt with Me

Tonight your stare
Be embedded in my eyes
As time stood still
I'll dream of you
Of the moment
I melt at your gaze
And as our arms
Brush each other
The closest I'll ever be
To having you

Not a good week for Asia

Storms, typhoons, earthquakes and tsunamis...

Not a very good week for Asia. Lives lost, infrastructures damaged and people traumatized. There's no use pointing fingers. It is nature. All we can now do is salvage what can be salvaged, help as much as we can and live learning the lessons it has taught us.

We must move on and take care of our planet, it is the only one we've got.
