I Want To Live On An Island

I want to live on an island,
Where every day is the same.
A place where no one chases riches,
No one stabs your back to gain fame.
***
I want to live on an island,
Where breakfast grows on a tree,
Where white beaches go on forever
And soak up the foam from the sea.
***
I want to live on an island,
A place where nobody owns a clock,
Where time is told by God's own sun,
And boats all tie up at the dock.
***
I want to live on an island,
Where my mind can be totally free
To reflect upon the blessings I have
By having you as a friend to me.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPain

As she walked away,
Bearing no love for me,
Can't take this pain
Does life have no meaning for me?
Every time we were together,
For each moment of my life
Good things never fell.
Hate is something I could never do,
I love you far to much.
Just please, this I only ask,
Keep loving me back!
Love is a confusing thing, we know
Many people fear it.
No matter what the cost,
Or the price I must pay,
Please, I beg you, don't walk away.
Quietly you turned to me,
Reading the emotion of my face,
Smiling that sincere of yours.
Taking two step forward
Utter the words that crushed my life,
"Veer your heart away from me.
Walk on your own. I do not love you."
Xylophones played sad tune as she left.
Yes, she walked away that gloomy night.
Zero is the amount of happiness I feel right now.

Lack of Inspiration

My inspiration has dried up, lost, gone away
I can no longer write, the things I can't say
I sit and lay things out, but it doesn't work that way
So I've given up again, or maybe just for today.

All imaginations are gone, lost without any trace
And now my poetry is nothing, but a disgrace
Though my body's moving, but my mind can't keep pace
So I sit here now, stony look upon my face.

What I'm gonna do, all my thoughts have run?
And Ideas won't come out, not even one
The thought won't rose up, like the morning sun
So I'll write about having no ideas, just for fun.

The Apparition

You're a specter,

A delusion provoked by the moon.

Its animate rays deceived me

With their illustration in night's gloom;

The lines formed the figure of a woman,

But just as I afraid,

When I tried to touch your face,

The shadow that shaped it disappeared,

When I tried to hold your hand,

I hold nothing but cold air;

I dodged and closed my eyes,

To open them I would not dare.

It was as if I was blind,

Reaching out within darkness of night,

It was as if I was crazed,

Dazed by the moon's shimmering light.

You're a specter.

An apparition painted by the moon's rays.

Your flawless features have haunted me

Throughout many nights,

Along with the pain within me

And its bittersweet taste

That you left in my mouth

When your lips faded away with haste

Before I could press my own against them,

Before I could even try.

The wind banished you quickly,

I didn't even get to kiss goodbye.

You're a specter.

A mirage.

The ruthless moon deceived me.

Its silver rays intertwined

The figure of a soul that eliminate.

Your eyes and the look within them,

Your appearance and its expression,

They were all nothing,

But a self induced hallucination.

Lost In The Music

I'm trying to write our own love story, but the words seem to be disappearing tonight. It's not their fault, when they get lost in the music. I've been lost in the music before too -- the music of your love. But it got too loud and I'm losing my tempo then I realized that this is not my music anymore.
I hear the whole notes, the half notes. the eight notes and the sixteenth notes. Then I hear the bass pounding directly within my heart and then the high sopranos and middle altos. They mix together to make a tune that I hear inside my head. It's tickling my senses and I feel it in my heart. Maybe that's what they called love.

And now, I've lost that love and said goodbye to the reasons we had in the first place, when empathy was on our sides. And somewhere, I got lost in the past where you are.

So tonight I wrote a new story to be last on my heart. I'm taking back sunday. That day -- when writing a word was easy; I could taste your lips and I could draw you near through my pen. Everything I thought just made more sense. In this dreary night I wrote on my heart.

"Dear heart,
I'm so sorry if you're always got hurt --
What could I do? I'm still in love."

You should have heard my heart's displeasure. What am I to do when I keep falling in love? It's a trick of the heart, not the mind. I had no control. I'm totally lost. My eyes are burning and my throat's getting scratchy, just listening to the music of memories in my head.
The whole world is laughing. I'm starting to get bitter at how it laughs everytime I try to make a new statement of myself. Bitter with all the thoughts that made it as a right to laugh with all the mistakes that I've made. Bitter that I had forgotten I couldn't write music, only words. I was lost in your art -- music, not mine. And I'd forgotten what my art is all about; the pen, the ink, the paper and my mind.

Minutes Before Dawn

In darkest silence, away from prying eyes
A mystical alluring beauty behind shadow lies.
20 Minutes -- the sun now rises from dead,
Its glimmer warp around your head. 
***
Your weary eyes see through morning mist,
But have no chance to overcome her evil twist.
16 Minutes -- too late to hide now, far too late,
As her web clench you and your awful fate.
***
She threatens you as she can sense your fear,
Of letting her have the way in you, so near.
8 Minutes -- try to breathe as you can,
Despite her venom is deadly in the world of man.
***
Her dark beauty seems to be torn from heaven skies,
But it's just deceiving veil to cover what inside lies.
Last minute -- should take this time to say goodbye,
You cannot escape the reaping of death so don't try.
***
Don't struggle for she constricts her web even more,
And stops until no sign of life is left inside your core.
In darkest silence, away from prying eyes,
A mystical alluring beauty behind shadow lies.
