we all want peace
we all want love
we all want help from above
we look and search
we hope and pray
that for love will find us one day
and through life
there might be only one
to bring the light and love and us undone
hold them, squeeze them for they will soon be gone
to be left with only memorys of days gone by
and questions of why
alone u sit thinking back all those years
long long thoughts which turn to tears
and nothing left not even fears

alone after loss
Post Comment
you said only me
lied and cheated
left me deleted
i tryed , then cried
and
finally died inside.
now i hide
left by the wayside
broken inside
but you dont care
moved on with flare
found another to fill my chair
told me he was already there
what you did was not fair
you lies and cheating beyond compare
all trust broken
a loves lost token
your lies all awoken

Knowing why
I want to cry
Vision in eye
Persistent more to try
Deny the mind think blind
When time young kind
Struggle through fire
Inner belief growing higher
Pulls closer they admire
Destiny perpetual desire
Future stories told
Inescapable the hold
Amazing I know
Energy said to grow
Feeling a step untold
Trust in self guts behold
Remember inside
Any moment meaning collide
Emotion override
Tenacity set decide
Begin a stride
Dreams undenied

Part of being a human being
Time when you’re alone
When you ask those questions
Does the grass look greener
Just over the fence
The sun is shimmering in late afternoon
Such is life in early spring
Wait and work all day
Just to see what life brings
Is it just companionship
That you most desire and sing
The most greatest achievement
To come home and be the greatest
In the eyes of those most dependent
What tomorrow will bring who knows
We’re just winging it tonight
So happy to let go of all that sorrow
Was a bird I just heard
A male robin in spring
Very determined in his call
To attract some attribute he brings
Let alone for all to cry
Of the earliest predators alive
Wings off at the mercy of time
When the earthworms shall move
And escape the late spring snows
That anyone of us will ever know
But by the courage you’ve shown
In each new step you take
Please always remember to
Look over your shoulder
You might think you be so nimble
You might be a perfect fake
But what really only matters
Between you and I is faith
Keep looking over your shoulder
For what you and I forsake
Will either bring us together
Or forever seal our fate

spending time with people you dont like
doing things that just dont feel right
when you cant resist all you best
a burning quest nun the less
a look iside comform to hide
a moment in time too bright moment subside
return unwind eternal shine mind
never behind the shadow hold wide
the legacy of lifes ride

There it is, not moving, no path
alone comes itself
and brings the move for others
to dare
can't make it go further away
cause this damn inertia of mine
got froze
thus, directed by great illusions
from minds of nothing
nothing to joke, none the second of luck.

my dad was a farmer
and so was his father
probably even the whole generations
of his ancestors as he remembered
he told me all of his past
how difficult and hard life was
he hardly had a full meal when he was young
nor had shoes and or clothes to go to town
my situation was no different
same hardships and same element
in fact I remember it probably was even harder
I knew it very well I will never forget
but love and kindness my parents were full
they never ran out of compassion for one and all
they never complained nor expressed any disdain
for our being the poorest in the whole town
looking at our state, it made me think
I promised myself and told my parents
I would go to school, I would not fail
and change our life for the better
and so I did, with the grace of our Lord,
worked the hardest filled with courage
it wasn't easy my road was full of challenges
but I hurdled it all and never gave up
so here I am paying a tribute to my parents
to my ancestors and to the legacy they laid
no matter where I am and no matter what I have attained
I will always be grateful to the land I came from,
the beautiful Philippines, and to my parent's farm.
I will go home...
Note: My daughter Karen who is my eldest have always convinced me tirelessly to go back home and I am now set to do just that. Her family has decided to go and settle there for good and I couldn't be happier for them. Since farming was and is always be in my blood, maybe, that is my Destiny that is yet to be fulfilled to the fullest. I love farming and I will never lose sight to my past no matter how poor I was. I am still the same, only older and wiser, I hope. Thank you Lord for all the blessings you bestowed to us especially to my parents and those that were once as poor as me, but made it better with the grace of our Lord.

Rejoice being loved and adored
Be gentle with each other
Seek and you shall find answers
Slow down from the busy race
Distractions coming everywhere
Find some shelter and rest
Listen when you are calm and quiet
Only you can create lasting peace
Not by some half-baked plans
True wisdom accepts tranquility
Nobody is more deserving than you
Time may be either lost or found
Like love either hidden or exposed
Being lost in time is natures gift
Being lost in love is being found
Make what cannot be seen felt
Make what cannot be understood
Known to others who cannot feel
Love is like finding a lost coin

We always feel sad when something is lost, but very happy when it is found again.

the grave is our destiny
where none whatsoever can be changed
it's a wholesome place all to yourself
and nothing accompanying you but the wind
you hear nothing, not even their tears
that builds up from rivers to oceans
if only it was said before your destiny
perhaps it'd have made a difference
now you're all alone sad and forlorn
a world only you can dwell
but I know deep in my heart
everything you've had is remembered well
oh rest my love, soon I'll be there
where fate crossed not in this life
but somewhere love knows no bounds
and our love once more entwined

The performance started when the conductor raises his baton with a swish
Providing the orchestra with direction, and the audience awaits with bated breath
Listening to the unique sounds of this masterpiece being reborn, born again
With avid fascination, as the strings create an appealing sound that takes you
On a journey through the masses of musical creation
Its a journey where the notes glide into a hauntingly beautiful respective melody
That casts a spell on your imagination and listening ear to keep up with such
A compellingly consistent pulsing beat, much like the rhythmic throb of your heart
Navigating the waters of consciousness in this magical union of musical voices
Known to man and its in this moment, you are reunited with the power of harmony
Resonating with the dissonance of passionate inspiration that breaths a new
Life into your listening ear, you are educated in the throes of classical music
Knowing yourself that you are enjoying this moment of truth and are spellbound
By the notes of this symphony
Though deep down in your heart, you know that all journeys come to a reluctant end, even though the possibilities are endless, and which pave the path forwards
Into a new beginning so that the magic can happen in another futuristic moment in time, captured by one man and his orchestra.
