Craving and longing yet again
For the right words to paint
Bleeding paper from an empty mind
Unsated soul from distant years
Sorrowful ocean filled with hardened tears
Haunting memories that never fades
Splattered on the canvas of my dreams
Languid body and broken bone
From the torments of yesterdays
Listless and pale
As the clouds passing by
Beyond forgetting of a distant past
Mercilessly worming
In my broken heart
Oh how I long to leave behind
The pains buried
In a bowl of sand
Must I ride in this tempestuous life
To chastise me beyond forgetfulness?
I am already disparaged
By my own lack of faith
Would I have to bleed more
So my death will come to rest?

If you think remembering
Is a phantom pain
Come hold my hand
And feel my sorrow
BEYOND FORGETTING.

roses laid out for your memory
not only for the dead but for the living as well
you gave your courage and strength for me
so that I can write this for the world to see

you were not asked but ordered
I am sure that is how it goes
to pick up your helmet and your sword
and bled to die defending your post

while I wasn't there to witness
the brutalities and atrocities you went through
I imagine with a living soul
it must have been hellish for you

some of you came back home lucky
with no scar and or physical pain
but the trauma of terror etched in your memory
will haunt you until the end

today as fitting as it should
the world giving you this day of tribute
but I know deep in my heart
you deserve even more than that

I hope therefore that you feel good
knowing you have done a heroic job
defending our country and what we believe in
and peace reigns for all of us and our children.

Salute to all those in one way or another contributed to securing our peace. Dead and also for those living.

According to Pedro from the Blog section, today is the birthday of CS which was born in 1999.

It is most fitting to make a celebration for a site that has given me so much fun, joys and happiness as well as tears and sorrows.

Thanks to the owners who created this wonderful site..

Happy birthday....

the backbone
strength
hope
in every relationship.

Taint it,
mishandle it,
take it for granted...

I am a goner

No coming back.

beheld and caressed are our memories
in the deepest of my mind
etched and printed in my heart
it will stay there unperturbed
nor will it be forgotten

I'd go and hold those thoughts
that which makes me smile
the blue ocean in Bateman's bay
and the glorious beauty
of the Blue Mountains

I stand at awe with reverence
as I am cruising in the Virgin Islands
waving to the emerald colored water
as I close my eyes reminiscing
the past that is forever clutched
in my heart..


unchanged nor will it be forgotten.

I close my eyes
in submission to perdition
ripping apart every fiber of my heart
for a prize I never sought

my parents taught
when love beckons
it will be a long and bumpy road
in fears, I will succumb

beyond defiance are its schemes
it will make you bleed and even scream
it will crash mercilessly
down to the core of your limbs

you will be possessed by its charms
makes you passionate and happy at times
yet often will make you lose your strength
and shake the ground you stand on

for mighty is its test
threshing every fiber
of your weakened flesh
and in desperation, ask

"is this all you got?"

alas! in your laughter
echoing in the ferocious wind
you kneel, and in silence
you know you are doomed

inside of you, you are crushed
shred into tiny pieces
and as the seagulls
witness your disdain

they, too, know
you are really doomed..
hopeless and all alone.

I am not here to judge
anymore than I have been
many a times, I could've drowned
among the dreams of the living dead
but I chose to stand up
one more time
so I know I can withstand
more sorrows, more pain
more slashes that bleed my wounds
in many a thousand pieces
if only to know
even death can't stop me
from knowing
that...yes...
I am still strong

and yet
standing all alone.

"CREATION"(30)("RAINY DAYS DIE")
By Namaron from the Blog Section


You Can Hope And Pray It Will Go Away
Maybe Disappear The Very Next Day
But Then Again Tomorrow Hits So Hard
You Dont Want To Come Out And Play
Its Not Easy Being You
Thats What They All Seem To Say

You Can Cry A Thousand Rivers
That Will Flow On Your Other Side
But On The Other Side Of Your Other Side
Is Where Rivers Dry Up To Die
All Those Deserts Youve Created
Cannot Cover Over Rainy Day Lies

Those Over Grown Disasters
That You Conceived Within Your Soul
Will Hinder Any Progress
If You Ever Had A Goal
Its All There All Stored Away
In That Hollow Empty Soul

So Go Ahead And Chase Those Shadows
The Ones That Sent A Smile Your Way
Those Shadows Cant Be The Real Thing
Its Your Imagination At Play
Around And Around And Around You Go
What Is There Really Left To Say?

jail..ah what an experience
no freedom, full of restrictions

reality is, we do encounter
the many sides of life
our journey, our walks, our stance
is a reflection of who we are
what we believe in
and what we stand for

sometimes we walk the opposite
of what the majority follows
we test ourselves, we face the challenge
only to find out we are crushed and lynched
and in the end, ask the question?

was it all worth it?

I can't answer for you
perhaps, mine is only for myself
and here it is, I have learned a lot
more than enough, as a matter of fact


from the dark chambers of isolation
asked myself so many questions
what if, life is all but an illusion
and we aren't truly who we are, what we are,
nor our belief differ from everyone?

all I know is, from that experience
life is all about learning:
knowing what you did, so you know
where you are going...

I did learn a lot..

It is time to be jolly, full of joy and be happy
It is time to be kind, generous and be full of mercy

Christmas is the season, to celebrate with friends
with our neighbors too, and the whole of mankind

Christmas, ah the glow of the lights
Just as bright as the stars above

Be forgiving to those whom we erred
And also ask for them to forgive us

May we all be united, be good to one another
May we all have a very Merry Christmas

And also a peaceful and prosperous New Year.

she draped her sorrows
on the gentle breeze
she poured her tears
on the falling rain
she sang her passion
on the howling wind
but remained unheard
in her silence
she could have smiled
upon the clouds
and walked her feet
on the lush of green fields
she could have bathed
in the placid lake
while the birds sung
her happiness
she could have swam
in the roaring oceans
while waiting for you
to hold her hands
but she knew all too well
you are gone for good
and so....
for one last moment
she closed her eyes
letting her soul rest
let her spirit drift away
with the passing wind
happy and contented
with the love she held
secured and buried
within her broken heart
as she breath her last.

dark hours of the world
in the hands of the decadent
immoral and unprincipled

terrorism knows no God
so they say: then why claim
in the name of Islam?

and, why do we lay passive
witnessing the death and tortures
of the non warmongers
and the innocent?

did they deserve to die
just because they embrace peace?
they are students for pete's sake

learning about life, love, kindness
have you seen them hurt anyone?

have they spit on your face
and have you condemned?

no!. their only fault is that
they stand for what they believe in
to love God and their fellow man

they are Christian..
peace loving and deserving
to live as human.

I grieve, I am in a rage
for my tired heart
and weary mind can't understand

the question is: must we do nothing?
