A Flutterby's Plight
Ordinary amidst
a thousand eggs,
I was a mere nobody.
Plain and common
were all I was --
unnoticeable in
the lush green vast.
Burning with thrill
I crawled into
their circle.
Alas, this world
threw me out
in the cold.
With my fragile heart
crushed and rejected,
I confined myself
in a humble mesh.
In solitude,I remained.
with only darkness
for a friend.
The world went on
with their usuals,
forgetting one
minute individual.
"Your time will come,"
I kept in mind.
"You'll rule the meadows
and soar the sky."
At last,
I felt the wings
warm my spine.
A part of me
was shunned with fear
while the other half
leaped with zeal.
I heard whispers
from afar.
There was a call
within my heart.
"Forget your past,
begin your flight.
Heaven's waiting
to see her child."
With a confident stance
I greeted the world.
"I came back
not to seek revenge,
but to rediscover
my worth."
And as the wind breezed
through my wings,
I redeemed back
my lost esteem.
With the empowering hope
burning in my heart...
in my flightI let
no creature thwart.
Remember Love
Remember my child
that love is a gamble
and not a game...
there are risks to be taken
and feelings at stake.
Remember that love
is not a mere word:
it's a verb.
Act what you feel
and do it with zeal.
Remember that in loving
conditions must not be set.
However make sure
that expectations are met.
Remember that to love
does not mean
you'll be loved back,
but don't stop loving
just because of that.
And yes, remember love
wherever you go-
for without love
you will not be so.
In Luna's Solace
Burning tears welled my eyes
as my heart wept quietly
within my deep inside.
It seems like forever, that
I've been trapped in this abyss-
clasped by invisible claws...
Oh! When'll I attain my bliss?
Witnessed by the moon
I wailed, I mourned.
Alas no one was aware
of my sorrow and depression.
In solitaire I was left
by the people I cherished.
They ignored my forlorn state-
I emotionally perished.
As I stare at my shaking hands
I study the fate
etched in my palms...
I can't help not to ask:
until when am I supposed
to suffer this doom?
Am I a cursed soul?
Is this earth my tomb?
Pending Vow
I can't help not to cherish
the memories of our past
when every minute there's bliss
and joy in our hearts.
I can't help not to wish
that I can turn back time
on that very moment
when you told me you're mine.
What happened to your promise
that you sealed with a kiss
when you said that you won't leave me
no matter what will be?
I'm all yours, but are you still mine?
Are your promises mere words
or will you fulfill them in time?
And if (oh please, I hope not)
you're not the same man,
please tell my love to come back
so we can go on with our plan.
Dandelion's Dance
A dainty Dandelion Puff
was waltzing with the Wind,
donning her white feather headdress
and black suede mary janes.
She graced each twirl with poise,
emoting sweetly to Heaven's voice.
Like a starlight in the morning,
she strucked Daisy with awe;
like a pixie in the meadow
she dropped Butterflies' jaws.
Alas, her dance was thwarted to a halt
by two clasping Hands that hitted her like a jolt.
It was then followed
by a Breath so warm
who whispered He just wanted to wish,
He meant no harm.
Seconds after, She was blown in the air,
still a bit dizzy, but she danced with flair.
Once again, she danced and waltzed
'til another pair of hands clasp her to a halt.
Essense of The Arts
Compose your poems
With verbs, not words;
For the voice of action
Echoes and lingers.
Paint your canvas
With pictures, not colors;
For they reflect
More passionate emotions.
Sing your melody
In harmony to the world's;
Fill the air with music
Let your song unite souls.
Dance your waltz
In the rhythm of love.
Synchronize it
With the beat of your heart.
And as you perform
Each arty deed
Thank the Creator
Who endowed you thy gift.
Inamorata's Irony
With great despair
SHE searched the dark,
and hoped to see
the shadow of the being
that SHE has mothered.
Alas, SHE failed-
for fate mastered
the tricks
that can torment
its victim
to nerve-racking anguish.
Fervent with hope
SHE continued
with HER journey,
amidst the clear
discouragement
of the elements' deeds.
Indeed, that was SHE:
unshaken by
any failures
no matter what
they may be.
And soon enough,
there was the answer
to HER plea...
SHE found HER daughter
crying on HER knees.
"I was lost, but now
I've been found.
Search no more
I'm here to stay.
And in your bosom
Please let me lay."
