TWENTIES

Years full of moments untold,
Ready to be unfold.
To live and enjoy each moments,
And be courageous to go after the life I want.
No more fears
No more tears
No more doubts
Just taking the risk,
not just to survive but to be alive
Remembering to Live in each moments,
Love each moments,
And laugh every moment.
To live my years in love and not fear

Oh mother's day!
A day to celebrate a legend called MOTHER.
A woman set apart to birth seeds,
Endowed with the power to make it grow.
In their hands is both love and joy,
along with their golden heart to tender the seeds.
A woman of power,
born to rule and control generations
In her is the power to build the future generations.
Oh mother!
A woman of knowledge and great virtue,
walking and creating pathways for her children,
leading, teaching, and impacting them
either positively or negatively.
When she says she can, she will.
Determined, strong and willing to make an effort to make the seeds, trees that bears fruit.
A mother is not a woman who birth a child alone.
A mother is a woman who's able to lead the future generations right.

Burn
Oh burn!!
Burn for the world to see,
To see that light

Burn
Oh burn!!
Let the flames in you show,
To revive cold hearts.

Burn
Oh burn!!
You can light that fire,
Just give it a try

Burn
Oh burn!!
Burn that fire.
You're called for this.

"SHE"

She was born in the dark,
Spent years searching for the light,
She didn't find any,
Sitting still,
She touched her heart, to feel its pain,
Something was hidden in there,
She searched deep to bring it out;
Sacrificially, she opened her heart,
Saw that burning brightness in her heart.
She discovered the light she has been looking for was within her.
Silently bringing it out to light up her dark world.

-

Seeing other flowers bloom,
She couldn't help but cry,
Hers isn't blooming like others.
Why!! She kept asking herself.
She compared her growing flowers to others blooming flowers,
She failed to realize that each flowers bloom at their own time.
No one knows when your hard work will pay.
But it will,
Just keep working and praying

-

I thought i can't,
not until I took my pen to write.

-

You need to be broken in pieces
before you can find the true meaning of peace.

-

Like flowers of the earth,
I'll keep blooming everyday.

-

Her burns and scars are gone,
She's flawless now.

-

Still at the shore,
waiting for you.
You ran away,
Thinking you can't overcome.
For thousand years,
I've been waiting and expecting.
Waiting for you to come
I've missed those old days
Memories of you are still fresh like a new leaf
I've missed your calming smile,
And your big heart,
Strong enough to carry all humanity.

But they were all stolen,
When you decided to run away,
You've left the work,
You left it all undone.
Rewards are still home
Come back

Come home.
I'm waiting,
I'm longing,
For how long will I wait.
The rain is coming, hurry!
Signs of storms are coming, hurry!
I've nothing
except from the little light you've once lighted.
And the heart you've once created.

I'm calling,
Come home
