Ask me not

Don’t ask the sun to always shine;
It can’t! The night exists.
Don’t ask the stars to always glitter;
They can’t! The clouds exist.

Don’t ask the sea not to be rough;
It can’t! For the wind blows.
Don’t ask for spring always;
The winter awaits to unfold.

Don’t ask the birds to always fly;
They can’t! For they need rest.
Don’t ask the beautiful flowers not to wither;
They can’t! The others should bloom.

And don’t ask me not to fall in love;
I can’t! Because YOU exist!

The Spell

It was a gloomy Monday evening
When you find me looking for a refuge.
I feel my adrenalin rushing
Something odd and strange struggles to get through
From the depth of my soul
As I go with you.

Things happen so swiftly
just like a flash of a lightning.
So quick; so intense.
That strikes me from deep within

Then there was a magical moment
I was in a deep trance
As I was under
your hypnotic spell.

I was deeply mesmerized
When I caught myself
finds its solace In you loving arms.
Your smooth palm caresses me.

I stare at your gleaming eyes
As if they wanted to speak
the unspeakable words of love.
the spell intensifies.

I thought the spell will cease
sooner or later.
But I was fervently wrong.
For it gets a whole lot stronger.
hundred folds of that of Samson

The spell…..
That makes me fall in love….

Twilight

I sat in an uneven boulder
My feet gently soaked
in its pristine waters.
The breeze
Making its crystal clear
Waters to splash
Soothing me
With much tranquility
I enjoyed watching
As beautifully colored
fishes doing their tricks.
Then I noticed
The ebb getting weaker.
Reaching the shoreline
No more.
Exposing the watery
sand craving
to see the sunlight
But the sun had just
Set in the west
“twas twilight.

Heavenly Knead

Stressed out
and exhausted.
My aching muscles
crying for relief.

I soaked
My naked soul
Into a soothing
milky mixtures.

My whole being
wanted more.
I slumber into a
soft cottony bed.

A warm palm
caresses
my naked being.
I sigh!

Every stroke
soothes my
weary soul
feels like heaven.

Nadie

Nadie enseña el sol brillar
para dar la luz;
Ninguno la luna para brillar
por la noche oscura.

Nadie enseña al águila elevarse alto;
Ninguno los peces para nadar
a través de los mares azules profundos.
Nadie enseña la lluvia lloviznar,

Esto hace para apagar el ansia
de las criaturas sedientas aquí abajo.
Nadie enseña elevarse extender sus pétalos;
Ninguno la violeta para caerse en la tierra.
Y nadie me enseña recordarle;
¡Hago! ¡Como le amo!

Nobody

Nobody teaches the sun to shine so as to give light;
Neither the moon to shimmer in the dark night.
Nobody teaches the eagle to soar high;
Neither the fishes to swim across the deep blue seas.

Nobody teaches the rain to drizzle,
It does to quench the craving of the thirsty creatures down here.
Nobody teaches a rose to spread its petals;
Neither the violet to fall on the ground.

And nobody teaches me to remember you;
I do! Because I love you!

Reminiscence

My day is so azure
thinking that I hope I’m sure.
That we’ll be together
Despite the things that hinder.

My night is sufficed
When I saw your enticing smile.
Until the time I close my eyes
Still your face lingers in my mind..
but what can I do?

They’re just our by-gone days.
if only I can do something
To keep us from separating.
but then I can’t

For our time has yet to come.
Hope that in the end, you’ll find
Than man of your life.

Devine Dream

You’ve created me in your image and likeness
And me fell your tenderness
And shown me the path towards holiness
but all your efforts were useless.

I’ve been so insensitive
Not to feel any of these.
Many times I felt so helpless
For I dwelt in sinfulness.

You never get tired of waiting
You’ve stayed beside me hoping.
That someday I’ll commit my life to you
For you will make me feel brand new.

Unconditional Love

There are times that I hurt you so
For all the earthly things that I do
But you don’t curse me for that
Instead, you envelop me with your love that never last.

You never left my side
Especially in times when I’m almost out of sight.
You let me hold your golden hand
To remind me of your love that never end.

And not I realize
How lucky am I to have you in my life.
For you just don’t love me limitly
But you love me unconditionally.
