Glimpse of My Heart
Hello readers =)
This page holds my poetry creations, most of them have been posted previously as a part of my blog entries. I hold these poems close to my heart because each one tells a different story and is a cherished piece of my life puzzle. Thanks to all the people who have inspired me, every single circumstance that has shaped me, and God, for this wonderful gift. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of my heart.
(In the near future, I may decide to add descriptions explaining the inspiration and meaning behind these poems; the related blog entries give a bit of the scope for the time being. Please await the update!)

Because of You
I had dreamed, I had soared,
above the boundaries of reality;
where the sun had never set,
and hope endured indefinitely.Where parting was no sweet sorrow,
and stars were defied with temerity;
an aubade was never delivered,
for every dawn was a treasured jubilee.Now I founder under exhaustion,
see roses wither and all names fade.
I strain against an unattainable finale,
and wait as our perjuries decay.Summer’s breath ripens languidly,
with no beauteous flowers to anticipate.
Singing Romeo, where art thou Romeo,
reveling in an artificial masquerade.Neither my poverty, nor my will consents,
to set safeguarded emotions ablaze;
But it’s time to obviate a heartbreaking tragedy,
with one last look, and one last embrace.[April 25, 201o. See related blog entry here.]

Never Mine
An invisible mirage,
unacknowledged by my own senses.
In a sea of indistinguishable faces,
I stand defenseless.Your voice replays itself in my imagination,
lingering, stubborn in retreat.
Surmounting all the others,
augmenting my esprit.Truth stains a silver-lined cloud,
adamantly austere.
Though an illusion of surreal rainbows,
my subconscious chooses you to persevere.One subtly ineffable glance,
leaves your smile on imprinted on my mind.
Feelings uncategorized and undefined,
relinquishing what was never mine.[January 26, 2010. See related blog entry here.]

I Want it Where it Truly Belongs
I want it, I do, just not everyday.
I crave what I can’t have, so take a leave, and tell me to stay.
I think about you the most, when you’re far away.
I dream of the possibilities,
only when I’m not experiencing this play-by-play.
So don’t deprive me of my dreams and cravings, I say.Ambitions matter the most, so take that step and surpass mine.
I’ll catch up to you, and perhaps then, we’ll be on the same line.
Timeless goals and their significance,
I cannot bare to have them confined.
Knowing that I may one day take flight in perusal,
will I, will you, still lace and intertwine?An enticing gesture, a rendezvous of the eye.
Conveying more than intended, demonstrating more than implied.
Indecision, with one move to grasp it or to let it slide.
What lasts? What lingers? After that final goodbye?
I care, I do, it’d be hard for me to let go too,
but will you loath me, if I simply cannot cry?A solitary road, consumed by a desire so strong,
maybe you’re right, maybe I’m right, and maybe we’re both wrong.
To deride others’ inability to harmonize in song,
I would never have imagined,
while having fantasized over fairytales all along,
that I too, am not sure where, if anywhere, a heart truly belongs.[December 2, 2009. See related blog entry here.]

To Move
A little laughter,
here and there.
A little reminder,
a little prayer.To see the difference,
and cherish it too.
A soul to captivate,
a heart to sink through.Ameliorating what is broken,
Obliterating the forgotten past.
Caring, not simply wanting,
but is it too soon,
to remove this mask.Taking a step forward,
hesitating, with little to offer,
and nothing to prove.
So, who am I,
to dare you to move?[November 25, 2009. See related blog entry here.]
