Scent of Her

The tall trees in the woods
serves green and watersheds.
The clouds up in the sky
are then as white as silk.


But now all things have changed

'cause people are so numb,
they keep on dumping wastes
on every vacant lot.


And this is one last cry

to every citizen,
take good care of our earth
so we'll not miss her scent.

Whipped Cream and Coffee

People come and people go
Hearts will talk and bid adieu
Eyes will meet and lips will touch
Body's heat will tear apart.


Leaps and bounds I run to you

Rain or shine longing for you
Blocks and walls around were built
Losing you within a blink.


Locked within a maze called love

With no one to act as guide
I pray to the Divine one
it's you in my dreams I find.


Upon view of the sun

a new hope in me will spark
Giving back the strength I lost
bringing back the man I lost.


Love and smile and joys abound

as our music's played aloud
Walking down the path of peace
our book is shut, sealed with a kiss.

An Angel Within Reach

You're no Gabriel, Michael, or Raphael
You have no wings or a halo on your head
Neither you live in a place beyond skies
nor you sing songs of praise while strumming the lyre.


What you are is an angel within reach

not beyond my sight, not far within my thoughts.
When you walk down the hall and flash a sweet smile
my world turns pink and feels like I'm in cloud nine.


But all these things are petty fantasies

Like a child dreaming of a fairy tale.
You have your own angel within your heart
whose means so divine and a brain so superb.


So I content myself by staring at you

Whenever you stand in the middle of the room
And I try to excel in all my schoolwork
because the truth is that you're my professor.

The Abstract

The sea is overflowing
with songs of love and joy
waving forth its wave
to two small mournful souls.


The sun woke up

with its vermilion tongue
and touched the heart
of every eyes that stood apart.


Suddenly the breeze blew hard

the dream that was built
went beyond the highest peak
and echoed to the clouds the love that was seen.


Our spirits danced with victory

as the moon sparks up
the twinkle in your diamond eyes
had brought me up to the seven skies.


And as the music fades away

the abstract is now clear
that within my boundless dreams
it is you who built the bridge.

Because You’re Heaven-Sent

When the world is dark
and the task is unbearable
All you have to do is ask
and He will send a companion.

The Bible says,

"A true friend loves at all times"
and many times I've known its true
for God indeed sent me
a good friend I found in you.

You were there when I was down

and made me smile when I frown.
You always had an ear to listen
and held me up  when I was badly broken.

Therefore,

all my sorrows, joys, and victories
I share with you wholeheartedly
Because with you the better I grow
and because God gave me you.
