BELOVED!

Life is too short to dwell on things that don't matter anymore;

Life is priceless so share it with the right people;

Life is valuable to leave it at the expense of a wrong person;

Life is and will always be indespensable to the one who holds it deeply;

Life is more than life itself just to prove your worth;

Life should be spent with people who cares for your well being;

Life is beautiful rather than non-appealing;

Life is you and only you can make it happen.

ADIOS!

@diaryofawhimpylawyer

Lately I learned that not all people will appreciate who and what you are;
Lately I learned that your goodness will never be good to people who dont love themselves;
Lately I learned that no one knows yourself but you;
Lately I learned that love is never enough to fill other peoples' emptiness;
Lately I learned that we have to let go of people to pave way for someone better if not best;
Lately I learned that nothing and no one can make you happy but yourself.

So cry till you eyes get dried up;
So bleed till nothing is left but none;
So shout till your voice cracks;
So get angry till your numb.

Bid goodbye to what was and had been;
Don't look back and never waste your heart to anyone but yours.

Window to One’s Soul

The night is so late or shall I say it is dawn already and I am still looking through the screen of my laptop checking my blogs and my Facebook account but still I cannot sleep even if I wanted to. So, I browse through the bookmarked site of my computer and clicked ANC live streaming. And it was indeed timely because one of my favorite travel shows is on air. Yes! it is “Travel Time” hosted by Susan Calo-Medina, a renowned Filipina TV Host up until today. I’ve watched several episodes of the show and just this early dawn via ANC live streaming I was able to watch the episode “Gardens in the Metro”. It featured several gardens from the Philippine Horticulture Society of the Philippines, a garden in Tagaytay whose owner experimented on the hybrid of plants and one garden in Cavite featuring rare species of plants and herbs.

Watching the episodes brings back good memories where I had to retrieve and/or rescue some plants in the house that suffered and died because I left home for two (2) months. Planting and finding new species and varieties of plants became a hobby of mine and yes, admittedly I have a “green thumb”. I could see the joy in my eyes as I water them every day and even talked to them. While watering my imagination travels to another dimension where I could see myself owning a small farm where I could raise my plants and be able to indulge with backyard gardening and eventually engaged with landscaping. While watching the episodes a lot of ideas came rushing through my head that made me say I am going to pursue this dream of mine in no time. I was brought back to the show where Susan gave a line that strikes me that “having some garden is a window to your soul”. Indeed, it is a soothing hobby to raise plants as it will replenish all the bad energy in our own little world. Until, she said her famous line “Huwag Maging Dayuhan sa Sariling Bayan” (Don’t be a stranger to your own Country). The show did leave me something to think about up to this time.

MY LOVELY MAMA

As the flower blooms this summer,
So is the sweet lovely smile of your lips.
As the birds hum a tune for her chicks,
So is your voice so warm and subtle.

As the grass sprouts in the meadows,
So is your calm and cool nature.
As the tree grows in the forest,
So is your love to your seeds.

As the sun sheds its light to the world,
So is your care to your loved one.
As the Englands Rose shines to charities,
So is your lovely name.

As Mama Mary loves her own son,
So is your loving heart full of compassion.
As God loves His creation,
So is your immeasurable love.

Lovely Mama, lovely as the autumn breeze,
Shining as the early morning sun.
Twinkling as the moonlight,
But nothing in the world is lovely as YOU!

"FEELINGS"

Alone with no one to turn to
In this very lonely place;
A cold lonely heart
Feeling blue and empty.

But how could she?
She doesn’t even know what she truly felt;
Crying inside this four gray walls
Yelling and shouting deep down.

As each day passes
Her eyes were enchanted;
With that adorable face
That only she could understand.

It’s a dream come true
Where life has to start;
Oh! How happy I am
The moment I saw you.

You looked so charming
Inevitably alluring;
Critically acclaimed one
And you’ve wake up this lonely heart.

HAUNTING

Is this what I get from being so indifferent?
Or is this the outcome of what I did?;
Why do I feel this way to you?
You’re only just a mere boy to me.

But why do I feel terrible again?
I don’t have any idea;
Why do I care for you suddenly?
Is it because you’re leaving?
Can't you not stay with me?

Though I find you as a laughing stuff
But you brought joy to this wanderer
You have brainwashed me with the way you smile.

But I guess, its bye for now
I know we will meet again;
Just make sure that you’ll come back
Because the thought of you keep haunting me.

Goodbye is not forever

Is this what I get from being so indifferent?
Or is this the outcome of what I did?;
Why do I feel this way to you?
You’re only just a mere boy to me.

But why do I feel terrible again?
I don’t have any idea;
Why do I care for you suddenly?
Is it because you’re leaving?
Cant you not stay with me?

Though I find you as a laughing stuff
But you brought joy to this wanderer
You have brainwashed me with the way you smile

But I guess, its bye for now
I know we will meet again;
Just make sure that you’ll come back
Because the thought of you keep haunting me

UNBEARABLE

The sweet smelling breeze of air
Touches the innermost part of the soul;
Warm embrace catches the feeling of belongingness
Quite astonishing to its innate reality.

All the while resentment had been
internalized
And was accumulated to its inner self;
What could have been done for all the years
It’s such a pretty scapegoat.

I have been lulled all these years
With the belief that everything will
turn out to be fine;
But I was totally wrong
It even brought a tragedy to my own destiny.

What would these things be?
Are these just a mere instrument for
you to be happy?
And what about me and my
happiness?
It’s too much for me to bear.

Oblivion

Sitting on the bench

All alone with no one to turn to;

To talk to

I’ve been waiting for some rescue.

I guess nobody dares to care

I may sound so alone;

It’s not only that

There’s something else more than that.



And it’s greater than that

I’m angry again;

I don’t know why

I couldn’t find any answer.



Unless there’s somebody

who is ready to lend a hand

Who understands, Who cares

For Whom?

Nobody else but ME…

“for wing”

by rjack2000

Memoirs are still fresh

Moments we once shared;

I have given you a test

You only care less.


You uttered you love me

But that doesn’t mean so much to me;

There’s something more that I want

Something made out from a decision

A DECISION TO LOVE…


Attraction is your taste

Looks for you is the best;

That’s why emotions left easily

Since reasons are not kept.


Alas! I like you

There’s nothing I could do;

Reality makes me see

That you are in me.



Unfairness? Aye! I admit

T’was a part of me, you don’t know;

You’re still a child for me

Such mindset of mine doesn’t fit in you



Time has changed

And so did we;

Priorities left us hanging on a cliff

Without choices at stake.



Instinct does not run through me

For reasons is my soul;

You cannot control

Because I’m not a fool
