AN EPIPHANY

What would you do if you realized that the person you admired hates you so much because she believes you are just fooling around? Here's to the person accusing me of this lapse.

Oh yes, you are tired for such silliness

That you think I’m doing

A tempest in a teapot

Comparing you

To the sunbeams?

 

Or to nonsense matters

Like a tie or a rope

A happy lad

Or some names you think

Much apt for your puppy?

 

Ah, FYI, I’m not

Strolling like a thief

Nor doing that woolgathering

Of your spectral icon

So you don’t have the reason

To touch even the tip of my hair

Just because of that foolish conjecture-

Admire you?

Nah! You must be in a daydream.

 

I don’t need you either.

I have my true ones

Here beside me.

Go with your life alone

And die alone!

 

Glad you know

A wild flower never perish

That way.

 

I am a survivor

Remember that.

I’m kind but not a martyr

Caring but

To those deserving.

 

I can dance with the music

And sing with the given pitch.

I can swim through the tides

Sail with the wave

And survive in a storm.

 

You murdered my naivete

Gone are the days

Watching you from afar

Considering your hectic days

As an urgency.

 

But then, pardon me for knocking

At your door just to leave a gift

But not to compel you to show yourself

I’m not either using myself as a threat

Like a pathetic asking for your attention.

I’m not playing any game.

If you don’t want my unsoiled purpose-

A true amity

Then go lock yourself in your cage.

 

I’m not a dupe, either

Therefore, I’m not easily conned
By a fancy promise.

[Faceless Poet]

The monster have spoken,
whom who have been harsh must be forgotten.

Pity fights must be taken lightly
for life of strife is not pretty.

the voice of the monster speaks
we don't need voices that bleak

living for what is right
we are survivors of the night.

no, no, no we shall not perish
our will is as strong as what we wish
make love, war will banish.

stay strong, your voices is loud as gong.

Ha! The monster is here
Now everybody, hear, hear!


Thanks for the voice, my dear Monster.

I enjoyed the complete poem. Sometime kind words re useless to a naysayer.
I am a survivor

"Remember that.
I’m kind but not a martyr
Caring but
To those deserving."
The above lines are words to live by. Don't waste energy on people who don't appreciate. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Oh, your rant is even more explosive than the fireworks i witnessed this new year. =) As to the question above, my answer is: i don't give a damn and i would not be writing a piece about him either for it would jut inflate his ego. lol.

[Dhaye]

Hehe. Another proof that we are two different individuals with different "tastes" but still we cannot ignore each other. I would rather read a review which is a counterpart of my subject but makes me feel the presence of someone who can make me laugh, than to never read any word from her. LOL Ano ba yung sinabi ko? Ang gulo ko. Hehe. OY, meron ka rin kaya about someone...medyo swabe lang...doon sa photos mo...photo-poem.

[gabrielle]

tinanggal ko na yun.. parang di yun swabe parang nananakot yata yun eh. hehehe.

[Dhaye]

Oh, di ganyan din...magaling lang naman sa salita yang tao jan...pero malambot pa rin deep inside. Didn't you read the description? SHE not HE...

[Dhaye]

Tsaka, neng...parang nakonsensya rin ako kaya featured ko muna lumang poem about faith. Naku, sabi ko nga kay Pax kagabi, lumalabas ang muscles ko pati sungay ng kalabaw... hay, sinapian yata ako kagabi ng masamang ispiritu. But since, poem ko yan ay nanggaling yan sa akin, sige na lang...jan lang muna. Everybody has a dark side daw naman sabi ni Pax...hayaan na lang yan jan.

[gabrielle]

nabulag sa liit ng font. lol.

[Dhaye]

font na naman...next time 18 na kaya ang size? hehe

[gabrielle]
