Purplenails Poetry (3)

Down the beautiful park, I saw you from a distance.
The gleam of the sun shines brightly to your face.
Far from where I stand, I hear your laughter; I hear your giggles and chuckles.
I walked down to get nearer to you.
To have that vivid look of the man I am about to behold.

As nearer I come to you, I can hear my heart beats fastly.
In doubt to smile thinking you won’t respond.
But you smile back at me and even said Hi.
Oh, I can feel the blood running from my veins to my heart.

You look great in close up.
Having that fair skin, straight nose,
beautiful and impressive eyes.
Well formed lips and lean body.
Totally you are handsome indeed.

I sat there and waited for a while.
Hoping you will come to me and ask my name.
You glance at me once in a while,
This makes me feel to see heaven in your eyes.
Oh my! Is he an angel? I thought to myself.

But in a glimpse, your face disappeared from my sight.
I look around but you’re no where to find.
I wondered why u didn’t even said goodbye.

Suddenly, I woke up.
and realized that I was only dreaming
I thanked God for that lovely moment
I know then that He only showed me the man of my dream…
who’s image registered my mind.

RACHEL


I was sitting at the church while waiting for the mass to start….
Looked towards the right side, and your seat is next to mine
Kneeling, hands clenched together
Sensing how fervently you are praying
Soon as you’ve seated, I looked on your face
You looked familiar I thought to myself
And finally I recognize you….
Oh Rachel my best friend, it’s you!

You looked different from years before...
That pinkish cheek I used to admire,
Looks dry and freckled now
Your lovely, dreamy eyes look weary and wrinkled now
That curly hair I love to braid now looks dull and brittle
I can feel the callous on your hands as you touched me
Those candle-like fingers and long nails that I used to paint
Now looks rough and dry
Your fair skin that I love to touch now looks tan

Oh Rachel, my lovely best friend,
What has the world has done to you?
I can’t see that smile on your face as you had before
we loved to smile; we giggled to small things and even laughed very hard
why do u seem so sad now?
As I hugged you tightly, you began to cry
Shhhhh….I am here, ready to listen…
When we bade goodbye, I saw your smile once again
That lovely smile which tells me that no matter what you’ve become,
Still you are my Rachel, my best friend forever more…

If I wake up in the morning and greet the day with a smile,
The first person to see, I want it to be YOU.

If I sleep at night and kiss the day goodnight,
I want lying down with YOU

If I write a love song and sing it with,
I want singing it with YOU

If clouds are too grey and I want a shoulder to cry on,
I want it to be YOU

If im too happy and jumps for joy,
I want sharing it with YOU

If days are too boring and I want a laugh,
I would want laughing with YOU

If my heart is broken and I need a repairman,
I want it fixing with YOU

When something delights me and I want to share that story,
I want sharing it with YOU

If fairy tale is true and if I am Sleeping Beauty,
I want the kissing Prince be YOU

If I’m climbing a mountain and I want someone to climb it with,
I want it with YOU

If I desire for beautiful kids, I don’t want it from Brad Pitt nor from Antonio Banderas
I want it from YOU

If im to scared and in danger , I want not superman or bat man to save me,
i want my superhero be YOU

If one day I feel old and ugly, and loving words I like to hear is” honey you look gorgeous and great”
I want it comes from YOU

When days on earth is over and I need to face the creator,
The last person to hold hands with, I want it to be YOU

Where and when to know YOU? I leave it to the Father
And I’m sure my heart will recognize you.
