A dose of thought...
Self-expression, that's a poem.
Reflection of my heart and mind. Feelings, dreams and totality of myself.
 
Tell Me
 
2nd sem 1996
I think I’m beginning to fall in love
With someone who’s gentle as a dove
He seems nicer day by day
That made my life full of gay
So help me please, how he will know
What I feel inside that continues to grow
If I will tell him would he listen?
To my heart that’s full of burden
So tell me please will he stay nice?
If he will know what I hide inside?
 
  
 
Fool
1st sem 1997
I’ve got a feeling no one knows
If I’ll describe it, it’s like a blooming rose
This is the first time I felt helpless
In my whole life that’s full of loneliness
Is this love for you that gave me enlightenment
For all the things that heaven has sent
I know this is not the right time for this
I’d done everything to make this feeling vanish
But still I can’t forget about it
Maybe I’m just a kind of fool to fall in a deep pit
I really don’t know if my feeling is true
All I know by now is I really care for you
Tell me God how will I resists
This stupid thing that my heart always insists
I think it’s better for me to quit
Than to fall with a man in wrong time and place
Even if it hurts I’m willing to sacrifice
I’ll just let it go and everything will be alright
There’s only one thing I want him to bear
This memory of him will forever linger…
 
 
 
Still
October 1998
Many people attempted to find
A right word that will rhyme with mine
Even a good poet has spent his time
But he found out it’s only me who has a sign
Who could make a poem with a sweet sound like a chime
 
I made this poem for a special friend like you
You’re the only one who could lighter my favorite shade—blue
A simple phone call gave me a big clue
That there’s someone who really sees me through
In all my aching even if it is only a flu
 
True friend is so rare
And I thank God He brings you here
To help me cope and overcome my fears
I cried in the rain but you still noticed and wiped my tears
It only shows that you really care
 
Sometimes it’s been a hard time and I treat you bad
I thought you’d leave me that will surely make me sad
But still you are there even if I get mad
Because you understand me better, much better than my Dad
I will never forget you because you run in my blood
 
I believe in every word you said
I trusted you and faith in me is what you get
Don’t break it please, that’s all I beg
But if you do fail me don’t be afraid
That I might get hurt and my feelings for you will fade
I will still count on you because I am also your
True Friend…
 
 
In His Name
MACL
 
Morning broke when I spoke your name
above them all I see you in fame
redeemer sent you to keep the flame
calling your name can save me from vain
 
Aries and April said that they linger with you forever
robin sings when he hears your whisper
virgo the sixth still remain tender
“i” always claim that she is hyper, but…
no one could read between the lines when you’re out there
 
Caress accompanied you and became your shadow
and now they attack me and they always follow
“prevention is better than cure”, said Dr. Monroe
unicorn even comes to help me fight this foe
now they are all ineffective and how it happened, I don’t know
“of course”, Cupid said it’s all because of you
 
Love is one big emergency
unexpected moment comes and goes everyday
“cease-fire!” I shouted, but they seem to have no mercy
i am afraid that someday it will become an EXE
alanis said it is irony
now I think it’s just hyperbole
oh God sting me and don’t let it be
 
 
 Blue
 
I looked around and saw what’s missing
The blue sky knows what I’m thinking
I already built a castle from dreaming
The crystal music in the air is what I’m hearing
The day has fade in this blue room
Golden flowers in the yard already bloomed
But still my hand could not touch the moon
Green leaves said I would reach it soon
I passed the door and I heard a call
The mirror on the wall casts an image blue and small
Silver tears from her eyes seem to fall
Was it reflect me or not at all?
The guy I loved just made me fly
Above the heaven that’s so high
And now I’m falling and I don’t know why
Will he catch me by and by?
I looked into his eyes straight
Someone had already taken his bait
I called all saints because my heart bleeds
But they just planted these blue seeds
Suddenly I saw a girl who’s suffering
For the pain that caused her heart from breaking
I’m wondering how I gave her the aching
Is it my fault if I love the guy she’s loving?
The love I have was so hard to carry
Especially if someone will be hurt and me, merry
And then I felt so sorry everyday
That terribly caused me to worry
I had the blue pearl from the abyssal
That’s how deep my love is and how fatal
If he throw the gem he’s killing me brutal
But my love for him will still be immortal
I do not know what is real
I cannot touch what I feel
He slept in my memory and now it was sealed
My heart hates me and became cruel
I was so lucky I like you blue
Whatever life brings me you teach me what to do
You are everywhere, anywhere I go
I’d rather hurt myself than making his girl like you too
Blue, my blue, may be I’ll find peace in you
 
 
 
 Wandering
I’m in a big trouble can’t you see?
Please lend me your ears and understand me
I lost my heart the other day
Until now I can’t choose which is the right way
Where my heart roam and find a good stay
Maybe she was caught in a web
Will the spider hurt her or let her live?
Prayer is my only weapon to keep her safe
If you saw her, please give her relief
I know she was seized by your love
Mercy for her is all that I have
By now my heart was on somebody’s lap
What should I do to get her from your trap?
The venom had already spreads its roots
She’s dying for your love and that’s the truth
The sun is waving at me in the horizon
He will give me the answer this afternoon
 
 
 
 
Antidote
Your love is so sweet
So soft and cold as a breeze
A kiss from heaven is what I get
My heart was touched and seized
Friday the thirteenth has changed its face
The Jinx brings good luck in this case
Magic words spells from you lips
That catches my soul from the cliff
Clincher phase has just came in
The decision I made was not a sin
Though I touched the forbidden fire
I know it is heaven’s desire
November is the month through out the year
A love once new has now grown older
I’ll kill myself for you darling so dear
My first love will be my life forever
All of you means I love you with all my heart
You’re the antidote when I was poisoned in the dark
You gave a blaze from just a spark
I know this will be our good start
 
 
 
I See
People are of different colors
They disperse it by staining others
People also have their own odor
They share aroma with their brothers
Everyday they have different flavor
So your chance to choose will be greater
Some of them have a good sense
Others can’t figure out a little thing
Maybe they are just so tense
If I were them I’ll just sing
To have the answer and know what it means
I know they don’t wanted any problem to cling
But what can they do that’s part of the game
Are you one of those who always laugh?
Every time his brother commits mistake
Or one of those who always have reason
Whenever things around him went wrong
Are you one who always envy?
Whatever good things that others have
Or maybe you always said that you don’t have time
To listen to other’s heart that’s crying
If you are one of those, don’t worry
You have enough time to change your image
We are human we know how to change
 
 
 
Last
The first man I saw
The first man I knew
The first one who hold my hands
The first one me made me stand
The first guy who comes so close
Who sacrifices and bears the cross
The first poem is for you
Like the freshness of the morning dew
For you I’ll get the first prize—
The first born who’s Jesus Christ
The first moment you spent with me
Shows that you will always be
A part of every first thing that I have
But one thing could really make me glad
If the word “first” will also be “LAST”
 
 
Incomparable
What is in you that made you different?
You are a man who is prominent
Why did Jesus choose you to be my heart?
That no one could ever tear it apart
I see you though you’re in the crowd
I know your voice even when noise is so loud
Your gentle touch I always comprehend
That you have a love that has no end
Now I happened to see Mr. Right
In your eyes having a good sight
All your words I had swallowed
They are so good because they are hallow
You are so different among the rest
It’s the real you that made you best
I found all the answers in my quest
Time has now always have the zest
 
 
 Boredom
This afternoon was dark and cloudy
I now see things that are not lovely
I’m sorry if I’m not listening to the one who’s holy
Silence is inviting me to be sleepy
My eyes is now so sticky
The things she said was so tricky
The air I breathe became milky
I wish I was in the sea holding a Jet Ski
The stone was now in my body
I want an ice to break me loudly
Hoping you are not also happy
So we could go out together and
…drink something bubbly
 
 
Can I?
Your are…
The Greenfield of hope
That made me cope
Whenever there’s problem that I must solve
You are…
The river of dreams
That made me seen
A different kind of place that I’d never been
You are…
The path of happiness
That vanishes my loneliness
And directs me to the road of Godliness
You are the one I cherish
Because of you my life will not finish
I know you are kind
But can I make you mine
Until the end of time?
 
 
 
 
Smile
Everytime I see you smiling
My world go round and turning
It’s your smile that made me fly
I saw the angel and that’s no lie
 
You
A day with you seems so fast
Because it is you who built my heart
I know you didn’t know what I feel
But all I needed is you to be here
 
 
 
 
 
With You Only
When I found myself in the grave
You are there to save me and make me brave
To face my enemy you teach me how to behave
By now and forever I want to be your slave
In this angry world I don’t have anything
Without Your love I am nothing
I owe to You all things and my whole being
A simple song of praise is all that I can sing
I will keep your words that make me live
I won’t let the enemy to stole and throw it
My heart and soul is only that I can give
You’re the last hope, with you the world will be saved
 
 
 
 
It’s YOU
Mighty is His power
I kept your heart within
He makes me a good borrower
He gave me this love unseen
The sun always sinks in the horizon
Your gleaming eyes echoed my heartbeat
I see your light around the dark moon
I feel the touch from your voice beneath
I want to be with you the whole nightlong
To touch the star beyond the universe
Just to hold you close and sing a song
Let us discover things and our color disperse
Why do they say that we are wrong?
To be in love with you is like a dawn
If they feel my sigh they don’t take it long
Now I know the meaning of love along
Love is YOU, it’s you from where I belong
 
 
 
 
Questions
What would you do if someone was hurt?
What would you say if words run out and hide?
What would you do if she were in vain?
That no one could take her and ease the pain
If she always cry and her hope dies
What would you give to bring her back to life?
If you saw her smiling and pretending she’s fine
Would you care for her or give a little time?
If she said that she could take good care of herself
And could forget of the grief that time has brought her
What would you do then to release the heartache?
Will you pretend that you don’t know that she suffers?
Or just don’t mind her and takes what life will offer
She is now in great danger
All she can give to herself is anger
Why she couldn’t reach out and fight for her will
She tries to forget and beg in knee
What would you do to bring a glee?
Will you be happy if she won’t show?
But what then if she truly loves you?
 
 
 
 
Scenarios
 
Things always come and go under the sun
This time you have them all but later you find they’re gone
Everyday is a changing scene of one page of your life
If you look at the past, wondering roams why you’re in a black ‘n white
Time you lookout today is like tomorrow and yesterday
Often you’re in a hurry to run after the gold it accompany
Happenings within yourself are far and near
You’ve waited daybreak to get along with friends when they’re here
What we call brand new has already past and history
We cannot stand from nothing, we only make a story
Faces we knew are sketches of expressions
To hide ourselves most of us designed it with falsification
Emotion is like a Ferris wheel that turns around its bound
Sometimes it’s up, sometimes it’s down, and you just listen on how you sound
Eyes of a man are windows of life that close and open
If you look warmly you’ll know what others feels and their burdens
Love has many phases that you must be ready if they attack
It is really wonderful to keep but it also hurts and scars so deep
Friends are so many but you only have those that you can carry
If you have the piece of a chapter, true friends are there in tears and in laughter
Noise are all over, you hear a scream over and over
But ears you have are covered that made silence to dominate forever
All of those are scenarios of our life in the world of vanity
Don’t lost your grip in His words, it’s the only way that gives you security
The roads that lead you are long and winding
Don’t be afraid to step and strive to make a good beginning
God is a just father, He will not let you to enter the wide gate
He always knocks in your heart, all you have to do is to give your faith
 
 
 
I Just Lost A Friend
 
World of fantasy and reality is where we live
Moving around the castle that we built
Sharing thoughts and dreams we want to reach
Imagination is our only limitation
We acted like a child, there’s no imitation
You don’t talk too much, you’re only good in action
There’s no wall that will block our journey
Freedom is always ready to take us far away
We know who we are and what wanted to be
In our conversation time is always in a hurry
We also make other people to be happy
Acceptance is what we learned from day to day
As we count the days we’ve known each other well
We became close, that no one could ever tell
Our mind and soul serves as a good place to dwell
That’s how things gone far when we are together
It takes a long span until things finally came over
“Friends”, we call each other but now I can’t take it longer
We are filled with joy and became what we are now
If someone will ask “for what reason”, I don’t know how
I just can’t figure it out, the answers just cling in the bough
Now it’s different, we can’t further stop our heart to blast
I’m losing you my friend, things just happened so fast
We are now more than that — we are lovers that will last
Our eyes were only meant to see each other’s mind
But some people don’t realize, they became so unkind
My heart then cries and explanation is all I want to find
Whenever we’re together I find myself floating in the air
Sweet thoughts and memories is what we share
Even silence is with us I know that you really care
We have our special way of understanding what we feel
Our thoughts turn around in no where like a windmill
No matter what happens we keep our love, that’s our deal
Even how far or how hard it will take
I know we can do it by keeping our hearts awake
Just don’t give up on our love that’s the best thing that we can make
 
 
 
 
 
Broken
Last night I was in the wilderness
The wind was cold and no one tries to hold me
The man I love was there, he has the flame but no warmth
The fire he keeps was suddenly lost
The other day he says he loves me
But I found out he’s not what he used to be
He also has another girl aside from me
I was freeze and my heart was broken
I can’t imagine that the one I love gave me pain
A pain that nobody could give relief
The light is dark and the room is lonely
Tears want to hide but eyes are naked
They show what’s inside
Happiness is so hard to get
I cannot have it, I should pay for the high price
All I can have now is grief
To look for a place where no one could see me crying
I want to be strong
I don’t want anyone to know that I suffer
I know they will only make myself little
He gave me happiness that no one could ever give
But he also brought me loneliness that’s killing me so bad
Why I am happy yesterday and now I’m longing for everyday
If that is what he will offer
I prefer to keep silent and live in vain
 
 
 
 Just A Thought
 
When was the time we held each other?
The time we kept when we are together
How could a day pass by without a smile?
A gentle touch from your love can free a sigh
Why is it that I can’t see the look from your eyes?
I try to forget but my heart won’t lie
I wonder how those things had happened
Maybe it’s just a test to see what’s in the end
 
I thought letting go the man you love is an easy thing to do
But why is it that setting you free is hurting me so
I thought that someday I would learn to be just your friend
But it’s so hard to be one of your pals, my mind could not extend
I thought my night would be just fine without you in my dreams
But you always knock at my heart, a heart that you only tame
I thought the day would be fine without seeing you
But I felt helpless if I don’t see your shadow in all that I do
I thought it would be okay if we don’t talk
But my ears want to hear your voice and be with me in a walk
I thought it would be possible to drop the love I hold
But I can’t control my hands they grip on you, they tell the untold
I thought I could live just a single day without your love
But my heart and soul were torn by not loving my love
 
 
 
 
 DON’T
Don’t let the music to fade without a melody
Sprinkle your passion in every note to have a harmony
Let the spirit of your voice linger in every particles
Your song pierce my senses, they do the miracle
Don’t write anything without a good finale
Blow some air from within to find the best rationale
Every letter from your pen depicts the whole thing
Your composition binds us with a valiant string
Don’t say anything unless you can keep silence
Allow serenity to creep on us to let go our tense
Catch my heart when I throw to you my glance
Love knows what you think, just always offer a chance
Don’t think so deep like living in the grave
Soften and ease your mind with my light shade
Free your soul from worries of tomorrow
I know He will not allow anyone to give you sorrow
Don’t throw anything for every piece that I impart
Keep it all in a box I know it could be the best art
My fragments are yours, put them in your pocket
If you’re lonely pick them up, they could be a precious locket
Don’t leave a place without your trace
The mark you left can release me from the maze
Seal your thought in a still glass
Reminiscence will explode at last
Don’t let the smile to turn into frown
Aching will make your girl to drown
Touching her bruises is the only cure
She needs a heart that’s honest and pure
Don’t neglect to call her name
Her love for you will always be the same
Only your whisper can make her turn
Fire is with you in the dark and cold morn
Don’t take your love away
Don’t let her soul to go astray
Don’t let other girl to take her place
Don’t allow anyone to give embrace
Don’t surrender the love you both insist
Don’t just hang the love that she can’t resist
Don’t, just DON”T
 
 
 
 
What Should I …
 
What should I say if you asks me why I love you?
Maybe I just look up and find answers in your eyes
What should I say if they ask why it is you?
Perhaps truth will command beyond all those lies
What should I say if you ask me how long it will take?
Time will tell us my dear, our love will never forsake
What should I say if they ask me how it happened?
I just give them a smile and let them find the end
What should I say if you ask me why I chose you?
I think my heart knows the answer why I really do
What should I say if words run out and hide?
I’ll just give my love to you and answers is what you find
 
What should I do if you’re not with me?
Maybe I will be dead in the deepest sea
What should I do if you will take your love away?
Perhaps I will get it back and let your heart stay
What should I do if time for the two of us elapsed?
The world will stop turning but my love will still clasp
What should I do if someone will steal my only happiness?
Courage will defend me for whoever brings me loneliness
What should I do if you find a girl to take my part?
I think it’s time for me to fight for my beloved heart
What should I do if you’re tired of loving?
My love will comfort and give you rest from wearying
 
 
 
 
Hush
 
I feel the breeze in my skin
Like his love that brings a grin
There’s always light in the stillness
That brings comfort to every restless
 
Tranquility crawls all over the place
My solitude soar up in the haze
The wind blows and carries his whisper
It breaks the day and penetrates in my ears
 
I watched how leaves gently fall
I wonder why some things are small
Cotton floats and goes with his soul
It brings peace and happiness to all
 
Lost in the blueness of the sea
For I am discovering who is he
A man with an eyes full of unspoken passion
Endlessly seeking why I have these visions
 
Darkness swallowed my whole being
Only one man knows my deepest longing
Suddenly he held a shimmering light
We run in the wilderness with blindness as our guide
 
Blossoming flowers are scenting the air
His face is always before me and never wear
Silence surrounds our young spirits above
Hush speaks with me about his love
 
 
 
 
 … Girl
Nice to see wherever she goes
Smiles squander in the garden of rose
Witty is she in every word that she says
Grace of a woman is painted in her face
She has warm and kind heart
Her voice will captivate you from the very start
Prudence is her guide in her way of life
Her love is powerful to stop the strife
She is the girl that every man dreamed every night
Even a prince will compete to win in the fight
Her personality is very powerful
It can destroy even the invincible
Her emerald eyes can see your electrons
A hair that touches your every neurons
She deserved to be treated so special
Everything in her is considered crucial
She can’t be easily please by a man
But once she’s in love she gave all that she can
One man made her turn upside down
She deeply fall in the eyes that’s so brown
Drowned in the deepest sea of love
She doesn’t want to see what’s above
The man said she’s the “ideal girl” for him
The sweetest kind that he had never seen
Things went so fast and memorable
Tears in her eyes kill her terrible
The man she loved was only playing a game
But still she did her best to be the same
Now she found out that she is the “idle girl”
Empty is her heart and bewildered
Photographs are in the drawer
Believing that she could wipe the memories left in her

For Many Times
For many times he is your crush
For many times you’re in case of a blush
For many times you fall with him
For many times you can’t breath within
For many times you feel love
For many times you don’t get what you have
For many times you show you care
For many times he isn’t there
or many times you are happy
For many times you feel lonely
For many times you know you’re sure
For many times you’re insecure
For many times he make believe
For many times he stole like a thief
For many times he’s at your side
For many times he hides
For many times you cheat to yourself
For many times you shout for help
For many times you are unseen
For many times you want to scream
For many times you smile
For many times it’s just for a while
For many times he says I Love You
For many times it is not true
For many times you make it better
For many times you are bothered
For many times you try
For many times you cry
For many times you give your trust
For many times he gone so fast
For many times you’re honest
For many times he can’t give his best
For many times you’re weary
For many times he says sorry
For many times you are hurt
For many times he don’t have a heart
For many times you really miss him
For many times he gave you pain
For many times you waited there
For many times he go with the other girl
For many times he said he can’t
For many times you understand
For many times you try to help
For many times he only care for himself
For many times you want to forget
For many times you don’t even regret
For many times you want to be free
For many times things can’t let it be
 
 
 
Sorry
Sorry for the mistakes I’ve done
For making your nerves to run
Sorry for sometimes I’m gone
In the times that I didn’t come
Sorry for the problems that I gave
For only giving you heartaches
Sorry for many times I don’t believe
In many words that you said
Sorry for making you to worry
For sometimes I only make a story
Sorry for making you to hurry
Yet I still can’t give you the glory
Sorry if I am in love
But that’s all that I can have
Sorry if that’s all I’ve got
For me that’s the best that I had
Sorry if I am always bad
For many times I made you sad
Sorry for making you mad
If I can’t make things to make you glad
Sorry if I lied
For all the things that I hide
Sorry for my foolish pride
If I can’t tell you what’s inside
Sorry for not being a good daughter
If I can’t make it to be better
Sorry if I can’t give you the laughter
If I am there only to bother
Sorry for the frustrations
For my dreams that are only illusions
Sorry for the lost emotions
Just always putting you in confusion
Sorry for making your load heavier
If you feel that you can’t take it longer
Sorry if “SORRY” is only I can offer
But I know this will bring us closer together
 
 
 The Live End
Everything has a beginning
All of us want a good ending
No one knows how things started
But everyone is certain for what they wanted
You can’t tell why things are like that
Only time can bring you for what you’ve got
Humans always have their own plan
Struggling everyday until the sun’s gone
Life is mysterious that no one can figure out
Even you are yourself you still have a doubt
If you are really who and what you are
You can’t be yourself even you travel so far
You do your best to be somebody
But you still feel that you are nobody
People always have great expectations
That always gives you many limitations
You can’t be me
He can’t be she
We are who are we
Don’t compare yourself to anybody
Someone you expect to lean on
If time takes it all and you’re all alone
Is the one who pushes you down
In deep troubled water and made you drown
It’s painful if you discover the real end
Although you cheat to yourself but you can’t pretend
That what others did doesn’t matter
But it hurt so bad and can’t hide in your laughter
If that happens don’t be afraid
To begin another life ahead
God is there that you can depend
He always gives you the live end.
 
Don’t Follow
Fear is just a state of mind
In facing life you don’t have to be blind
Do what you know is right
Be not afraid if you’re in the fight
Listen to your heart desire
Don’t let anyone dictate on what you must try
Walk away and begin your adventure
There are always things ahead for every creature
Life is like a race
Do your best to get the ace
Whatever the cost that you must pay
God will help you, just do whatever he says
If in the wilderness you saw a path
Don’t follow ‘cause someone already crossed that
Make a smooth way of your own
Leave your own trace, don’t clone
  
 
Forgive me
January 9, 2K
Everyday I live with a different life
Experiencing happiness and strife
Confined with the world of mine
Make believing that I am always fine
Be with friends who help me all the way
I tell them "Don't bother, I can manage anyway"
Deep inside I knew I'm totally fallen
A smile, a laugh... I have it but it's still achin'
Don't mind me, nobody knows how I feel
Fake the day, it's hard to be real
I thought of the things I've said and done
Did I make it worthwhile or hurt someone?
I go on to my life with what I have
Everything I got, except this love
Sometimes I feel I'm alone and nobody cares
My friends, I thank them, but still feel I'm not near
This self of mine I don't understand
Time came in when nobody can lend a hand
How to go on with this broken heart?
Broken life and dreams don't know where to start
I cried and cried a lot with great fear
"My child don't cry, I'm here with you" He whispered
"Just waiting to tell me you need my help"
I look at Him feeling guilty with myself
How I spent my days selfishly without Him
Now He's the only one selflessly helping me within
I recall the times when I seem to be bad to others
Why can't I be like my Heavenly Father
"Forgive me please" to whom I hurt and suffer
"Oh GOD forgive me, I'm a sinner!"
 
 
 
 If somehow you’ll know
November 21, 1999
I know I can’t hide this feeling
My love for you gives me aching
It’s still you I always longing
Yet I smile and make believing
But can’t get over from your loving
If somehow you’ll know that you’re still the one
The one that I love, my only dream man
Keeping all the things you’ve said and done
Please don’t go and never be gone
Don’t worry about me I’ll always understand
This love fools me many times
But I rather be foolish to make you mine
Tell me once and I’ll do to make you feel fine
I know you can’t love me, I see the sign
But it’s not the end as long as the sun shines
If somehow you’ll know what I hide
Keep it as a secret deep inside
Just listen ‘coz I might again collide
The world can’t understand me if I show it outside
Sometimes it eats me up with a foolish pride
You see how hard, everyday I try
Try not to show my tears when I cry
Hoping someday this feeling will fly
Though it will fly, I only made another lie
Because I realized we’re under the same sky
If somehow you’ll know that my love for you is true
Don’t ask me anything if you don’t feel the same way too
It’s better to hate me and consider me as your foe
Than to leave something that will make my life forever blue
If you found that you don’t love me, there’s nothing I can do
Please pretend that you don’t know,
…my love for you, if somehow you’ll know 
 
I Couldn’t be
November 20, 1999
I hate the floor where you stand
It should be me reaching your hand
When you walk I should be there
I should be the one who gives you care
I hate the wall where you lean on
It should be me helping you alone
When you’re tired of life’s tests
I should be the one who gives you rest
I hate your bag you always carry
It should be me easing your weary
When you feel you can’t go on
I should be the one watching you ‘till dawn
I hate the shoes that you wear
It should be me taking you everywhere
When you’re lost and go astray
I should be the one helping you find a way
I hate the sky above you
It should be me watching all you do
When you can’t reach your dreams above
I should be the one to pull it down like dove
I hate the stars you’re watching
It should be me with you wishing
When the stars stop twinkling
I should be the one up there shining
I hate the air that you breathe
It should be me you always take
When you feel that the world is so small
I should be the one catching you if you fall
I hate the rain that gives you kiss
It should be me bringing you bliss
When the rain gives you pain
I should be the one keeping the flame
I hate myself ‘coz I couldn’t be
The one who should always be
There for you and let you see
The love I had only for you but …
why I couldn’t be? 
 
 Only
November 17, 1999
Only a moment can build a day
Happy or sad we will repay
Be thankful if you’re here today
Remember time never stay
Only a dream makes things come true
To know where to begin and what to pursue
Like a dreamer’s dream long time ago
We must have courage in order to grow
Only if you risk you’ll find success
Don’t be afraid it’s part of the process
If you fail, don’t consider it your loses
Risking proves you’re one of the greatest
Only a smile can lighten a heart
Can bring a hope, if life’s tear apart
Smile once and find it a good start
With that simple thing, you’ve done your part
Only a prayer can make impossible
A fervent one makes your life simple
To change those things you don’t like at all
Spend a little time to save many souls
Only a friend can make you happy
To know the essence of love and harmony
Who gives comfort and eases pain slowly
Treasure their presence for life’s eternity
Only a love can set you free
One life to make for you and me
One God to cry on and help you see
That you’re my special friend – one and only 
 
 If ever
November 2, 1999
If ever I pass you by
And greet you with a silent “Hi”
Maybe it’s the only time I forget to cry
A moment to wear a smile with a deep sigh
If ever it’s only the two of us
In case you see me in a blush
And no words to came out in hush
I only wanted those moments to last
If ever I look into your eyes
And there’s no word to hear my lies
The look you bring can lift me high
And suddenly fall in an empty desire
If ever I ask you something
And share a wishful thinking
Just listen or answer me nothing
And believe me for what I am telling
If ever love crosses our ways
Thinking we could make it from yesterday
I know it really sounds crazy
But this is because of you honey
If ever you hear me no more
And see how my spirit soars
To reach you, the only one I adore
No second thought of loving you forevermore
If ever I made you sad
Of the things I did in the past
Sorry if I seemed so bad
Your happiness is what I pray to our God
If ever you don’t see me
Don’t ever think I go so far away
I just try to forget and face reality
Keep in mind I’m here with you thru eternity
If ever again we find each other
Just don’t promise me forever
Let’s make another time to remember
If forever is now, if ever… 
 
Too bad to be true
October 31, 1999
I’ve been searching night and day
To get you out of my way
I tried so hard to get over you
Even to myself I’ve been so untrue
Time is so slow for those who wait
Waiting to forget you is just a waste
I’d been a cheater for so long
Keeping a smile, pretending to be strong
I can’t make it, there’s no way to get out
Oh God I pray, I prayed so loud
Then I tried to be your friend
Maybe it’s the best way for this feeling to end
How nice that we talk to each other
But I became weaker to get this over
What should I do? I don’t even have a clue
This is helpless, living a life in blue
My friends said someday I would be fine
I should just wait for the right time
I asked myself why I have this love?
And get an empty answer from above
All things must have an ending
But I think our end isn’t in the right timing
Don’t hate me if sometimes I ignore you
It’s so hard for me to do that, don’t you know?
Every part of me is made up of lies
I can’t help myself when I look into your eyes
It’s better not to show up what is inside to you
‘Coz sometimes it’s too bad to be true… 
 
If this is the Last
October 17, 1999
 If yesterday was the beginning
Of the love that seems to have no ending
If the words ain’t coming
And the tears were spilling
Then this day will be leaving
If you care to understand
Then go on and take my hand
If you want to be my man
I’ll do all that I can
Just don’t write my name in the sand
I feel the love but can’t keep it
Holding it back until the day we’ll met
My mind is running out of my head
If the pain I feel was so deep
Then a little time is all I need
If this is the last rain to fall
In my confused and hungry soul
Then I must stop this feeling to crawl
Before it bites me and lost it all
And this day will be for the untouchable
If this is the last kiss goodbye
And the last time a hear you sigh
Don’t ever set me free and fly
If this is the last time to lie
Then it should be my last cry
If you’re the one whom I’ll give my trust
Please don’t take it in just a blast
If leaving me is a must
Please don’t break my heart so fast
Just love me today if this is the last 
 
My Friend
October 16, 1999
 You are someone who knows to see
Little things are important whatever it may be
You share a hope when I am down
You ask me “Why” when I frown
You have the guts to tell that I am wrong
Beside me you are there to get along
I share to you those foolish things I made
I cry to you and tell the things that I hate
Sometimes I doubt that you might not understand me
So I just keep it inside and pretend that I have this glee
Then I found out later that you have that loving hand
Even I made a mistake you always understand
You always talk to me even if I don’t listen
You don’t get tired to tell me once again
I really know that I am a big fool
Just tell me if you lost your patience at all
I know there are times we hate each other
But it’s part of life to make us better
There’s no chance of missing you
‘Coz I know you’re always here to love me so
Please don’t expect great things from me
I’m afraid I might fail and might not be
Just accept me now for who I am
And let’s be happy for what we will become
I can’t imagine without you by my side
If the storm comes you’re the best place to hide
Sorry if sometimes I made you cry
And thank you for giving me another try
We have our dreams, just simple one
Those dreams I shared with you will never be gone
Yes it’s true that love is free everywhere
But it’s the hardest thing to get even if it’s near
But I tell you friend just be true to yourself always
So that you’ll never regret when we part our ways
 
 
All Enough
October 9, 1999
 Loving you is a wonderful thing
Loving a man who love another is the saddest thing
To know that I’m a fool is all okay
I just want to be true to myself all the way
 
There’s no chance that I will forget
You are there in every breath that I take
They say time heals a broken heart
For me it’s only you who could bring it from the start
 
One day I know I’ll get a chance
To wear a smile and keep it at once
Free as a wind to pass you by
And ask something foolish… Why?
 
I know I am not the one you want in your way
I am not here to bother in your happy day
Just don’t mind me when I’m around
I will be gone if that’s what you want
 
Having you back is not my intention
Neither gaining your love and your affection
I just want to release what I feel
Maybe that’s one way to bring a heal
 
It’s so clear that we are not meant to be
It really shows that you love somebody
I said to myself it’s so unfair
But it’s enough for me to love you even you don’t care
Just always remember I’ll always be here.
 
Blue-eyed Man
June 19, 1999
 You walk along with your enchanted smile
You look so deep with your blue eyes
I come to search what is in you
That made everything in me to be blue
 
You talk to me with your soft sweet voice
I was amazed, stunted and have no choice
You are the one I was longing for
I was trapped and in love with you for sure
 
Your laugh is the music in my soul
Your arms serve as my tough wall
I know that you will be my man
That I can lean on if there’s no place to run
 
But there are things that are not meant to be
Our love for each other is so hard to see
Why time allowed me to be with you?
Then suddenly I must let you go
 
You are there with someone you love
So happy and contended of what you got
I know deep inside you were also hurt
There’s nothing that we can do we must be far apart
 
You live your life the way it is
Take whatever comes to have a peace
I saw you there again with a fraud grin
You are the blue-eyed man that I’ve seen
 
THEM
June 12, 1999
 They insult me without thinking
My self-respect is now wasting
They laugh at me without knowing
Making fun with what I’m having
 
I try to live the way they want
But they try harder, they made me blunt
They betray me, and made me a fool
I need help, but there’s no one to call
 
I search the place over and over
But the puzzle gets longer and longer
I assured my self to get nearer
But they push me even harder
 
I try to impress them for what I can
They praise me, but just for fun
They don’t see me as part of existence
Watch all my moves in the rail fence
 
I reach harder to make them satisfied
But they climb higher with their thinner pride
They treat me like a little bad child
That causes my crazy mind to get wild
 
I strive to be with them and understand
They only want me to do what they command
I think I need a tiny space and little freedom
They control my life in their powerful palms
 
They made me strong but I get weaker
They belittle me and made me denser
They call me stupid as I came
Who made my useless self? It was THEM
 
 
It’s Time
I&Phine
June 13, 1999
 It’s time to leave the past
All things aren’t worth to last
I must give all my guts
To say that it’s a must
 
It’s time to let you go
Having you is hurting me so
You’re giving me a big clue
That I am not worthy to love you
 
It’s time to take a rest
To heal a heart you put in test
All I’ve done to you I have no regret
I gave all that I can and that’s my best
 
It’s time to break the rule
Forever means it’s for a while at all
Time to wake another fool
You drive away a loving soul
 
It’s time to take a back
To sort out feelings cracked
It’s time to clear my mind
It’s time to show up behind
But don’t you think it’s really time?
 
 
‘Wish I Didn’t Know
June 16, 1999
I realized how lucky I was to have that kind of love
Few things to remember but all are worth to have
How I wish I don’t have feeling to know happiness
I just wish there were none so I could be in stillness
Is it magic when we both meet each other’s destiny?
And thought we could be forever through eternity
Wishing time will not end in our wonderful journey
We wish we were angels flying in heaven peacefully
We wanted simple things and dreams of our own
We talk sincerely, uttering each other’s vow till dawn
Wishing there’s no ending of the love that we feel
Keeping the faith in our heart to make it all real
Suddenly all things we built collapsed in just a second
The trust I only have was gone, you can’t make a stand
You ripped a soul with your deceiving word and heart
‘Wish I don’t have a mind to know that it tears me apart
‘Wish I don’t know the truth behind your lies
So I could be happy until now even if I cry
‘Wish I could reach all things you wanted
To comfort you with all your wishes granted
How I wish I was a fool all the time
To be with you even though you can’t be mine
How I wish I don’t have these eyes
So I could not see how I painfully dies
Still wishing for the day to come
That you’ll come back and never be gone
I really wish I didn’t know
That until now I’m crazy in love with you
 
 
Stay A While
July 29, 1999
 All alone walking in the road
Trying to make a single step out of the cold
Thinking that you are there to hold
If you stay a while will it make me feel good?
 
Looking back to feel you once more
There’s no way out of what I’m living for
The time has come to close the door
If you stay a while will you come with me for sure?
 
Sweet little things and memories are always there
When you’re gone loneliness and pain is what I bear
I need someone to help me out but you’re not here
If you stay a while would you really care?
 
It’s hard for me to see the light
My feeling is only for you that I must fight
I was afraid if I can’t win it tonight
If you stay a while will I be all right?
 
But if our love was not meant to be
Though it’s really hard to set you free
I’ll let you go and let you see
If you stay a while can I be me?
 
If you leave now can I have your smile?
With your loving arms to guide me in the aisle
And your promises even if it’s too far mile
And one more thing, please, stay awhile
 
 
 
If I Can’t
July 30, 1999
If I can’t forget all moments we share
Will time bring me back to see you there?
To speak in silence with our eyes together
And smile awhile without any fear
If I can’t leave our past behind
Will this day clear my crazy mind?
I must go on and try to find
But I only see you like I was blind
If I can’t let my feelings go
Will you hate me like a foe?
If there’s nothing that I can do
Please help me see and let me know
If I can’t face the world around
Will there be hope that will abound?
I feel I was in the deepest down
Can you help me to touch the ground?
If I can’t accept the reality
Will there be truth to set me free?
I can’t imagine seeing myself with glee
I am confused to what will I be
If I can’t see right from wrong
Will you be there to make me strong?
I want to be with you all alone
To sing again our simple song
If I can’t hold you once again
Will there be way to release the pain?
The night is only for eyes in the rain
Is there a point for me to begin?
If I can’t make it with another day
Will you bring tomorrow on my way?
If I’ll ask you what would you say?
Maybe you’ll throw all things away
If I can’t see you happy
If I can’t feel that you’re okay
If I can’t try to understand
What would I do if I can’t?
 
 
I Give Up
June 5, 1999
 There's a place that I could reach out
I could dance, run, hide and shout
Talk with everyone to what it's all about
I see myself without any dirt of doubt
 
All is fine and simple as it is
It was real, He granted my simple wish
All moments are mine that I didn't miss
I know it's for awhile but I'm happy at least
 
I was having different emotions
Like travelling thousands of oceans
I do what I want without any reaction
You care and love me without any intention
 
If I choose, I won't leave the place
I don't like this real world of maze
I won't live with people of fake face
Don't want to lie just to win the race
 
I could be me who run my own world
When I was there I'm with our great Lord
You understand me without a single word
I have you and all things that I can afford
 
So I wait for this day as far as the sun is gone
And I pray that you’ll be there to make us one
To be with you forever until our time is done
I give up reality and wait for that dream to come
 
 
Greatest Fear
I was lost in the maze
Confused with your phase
I find myself inside me
And you’re still there I always see
I traveled in different places
And found out that I followed your traces
I can run to leave the past
But can’t hide behind a mask
I’m afraid to move a little
It’s delicate to hit the brittle
I’m afraid to sleep at night
You might be in my dream holding me tight
I’m afraid to wake up in morning
Maybe I’ll see you tomorrow smiling
I’m afraid to be happy
Because I don’t want to be lonely
I’m afraid to go outside
They might hit me and I might collide
I’m afraid to discover something
I know it will ruin everything
I’m afraid to reach out
I don’t want to hear a shout
I’m afraid to care again
Caring is just a pain
I’m afraid to expect anything
I choose to have nothing
I’m afraid to look at the star
I know that you are very far
I’m afraid to breathe
I might take-in your grief
I’m afraid to count the time
Because it is your sign
I’m afraid for a day to come
It might bring us together as one
I’m afraid if they see me
They might not set me free
I’m afraid to cry for help
No one knows my real self
I’m afraid to lose my heart
I’m sure someone will tear it apart
I’m afraid to touch the invincible
It will kill me terrible
I’m afraid to love and be loved
It might be you again
…the greatest fear that I have
 
 
Sucks
Voices disturb
I was scared
Light is dark
Dark is your mark
Night is a hell
You whisper like bell
Time kills
The blood spills
You broke a dream
Then bring a scream
Stole the day
But you must pay
I was in disgust
Cracked faith and trust
You buried a soul
I fell in the hole
You use
You abuse
I have frustrations
Full of intimidation
I was shot and died
I hunt but you hide
I don’t have the luck
Life sucks
 
 
 Bug
I saw you there standing
With piece of life you’re holding
You grip others like a leech
You give care with an itch
Lay at night in the bed of lies
Night for you is perfect and nice
Your smile is so untrue
Who are you? I don’t have a clue
You don’t know what is a friend
Using people and just pretend
Playing with emotions is your game
Don’t you think you will get the same?
Brain is your powerful weapon
I beg you to take some precautions
Your life is out of sight
Your inner self is where you hide
The show you made is now ending
Make a change on your doings
Don’t destroy your precious self
It’s only you who could give help
Bear in mind that you’re not alone
Your true friends are your real home
Don’t let your rust let them go
You must remove the bug in you
 
 
 Never
Never say never
Never say forever
Never say it’s over
Never sail in two rivers
Never play the fool
Never be so cruel
Never let a heart to rule
Never try to get them all
Never live in the past
Never believe it will last
Never make your feeling blasts
Never rip a heart so fast
Never be in haste
Never keep the wastes
Never caught in two case
Never fake your face
Never give up easily
Never go on freely
Never load a heavy
Never say maybe
Never fall in love
Never satisfied for what you have
Never free like a dove
Never look above
Never be broken again
Never want to feel the pain
Never go insane
Never destroy a name
Never see me cry
Never make a lie
Never say goodbye
Never went too high
Never be in disgust
Never say it’s a must
Never let a shadow cast
Never ever trust
 
 
 The Corner
I hate to see you when you’re here
But I want to be with you if you’re not near
I hate the way you look at me
But I like to show and let you see
I hate to see how you smile
But I love to have it even your distance is in mile
I hate to feel and hear your voice
But I seek for it and I have no choice
I hate to hear our song
But I sing it to go back from where I belong
I hate the place that we once been
But I go there to feel you once again
I hate to read all your letters
But I keep it to make me feel better
I hate to treasure all your memories
But I remember how sweet your stories
I hate the times that passed by
But I try to spend a moment to sigh
I hate to recall all your promises
But I hold on them as my wishes
I hate to feel you in the air
But if I don’t, I think it’s unfair
I hate to see you with your girl
But I must accept the fact that you can’t be here
I hate to dream of dreaming you
But I see you when I sleep and there’s nothing I can do
I hate to caught myself crying
But my tears were there like I was dying
I hate myself because I fall
But I can’t do anything at all
I hate the way I’m missing you
But I am weak to fight ‘coz I still love you so
I hate to lie and cheat to myself
But I think I must, to get some help
I hate to hate how you treated me
But I feel the pain that you just can’t see
I hate to love you and keep you in my head
But I was caught in the corner of love and hate
 
 
Have You?
Hope you are happy everyday
If you ask me I don’t know what to say
Most of the times I just pretend
That I am okay for what the day will send
I want to be with you, I miss you so bad
But life is so unkind they made me sad
I want to know why He let me fall
Then all of the sudden life has no meaning at all
Nothing last forever in this world
But the memories of you are my only sword
You once made me feel that I am special
But loving someone like you is lethal
I’m always sitting in an empty chair
Always thinking that life is so cruel
What happened is just a mess
And life must go on, no more, no less
Have you heard the sweetest poem?
That just for awhile it gives you joys
Have you tried to watch the falling rain?
It’s like the past that gives me pain
Have you seen yourself in the mirror?
And made you to be your own juror
Have you faced the day with a true smile?
Or just glance with it with your wet eyes
Have you go to bed with a peace of mind?
And travel in your dream and get what you find
Have you gone far away and try to escape?
Or stay and adjust with your own fate
Have you caught yourself daydreaming?
And see me again and know what I’m thinking
Have you given me a cry?
And wish to have another try
Have you missed me somehow?
The way we spoke each other’s vow
Have you looked again into my eyes?
To see the truth in your lies
Have you tried to do something?
To keep my heart from bleeding
Have you offer a little prayer
Believing you will soon hear laughter
Have you said the words left behind?
That surely changes my grounded mind
Have you ever fall in love with me again?
But this time we both know that our love is forbidden
HAVE YOU?
 
 
 Instinct
They live
They lie
They smile
They cry
We see
We’re blind
We grow
We blow
You breathe
You ripped
You sail
You fail
I love
I lost
I tear
I learned
You see, I sink
Life is instinct
 
 
When
When you came
Nothings the same
When you passed
Your shadow casts
When you looked
I was hooked
When you’re near
Music is what I hear
When you speak
You made me sick
When you smile
I walk in the aisle
When you hold me
You stung like a bee
When you whisper
I float like a feather
When you love
I died in your lap
When you lie
All I do is cry
When you’re gone
Life has no place for fun
