I Believed




I believed the words
I lived the words
It becomes my heart
It becomes my soul
It becomes me...
I believe the words...

I Miss You Love



I miss you love...
I whisper in the wind 
I miss you love...
I cry in the rain
I miss you love...
I write it in the skies 
I miss you love...

It's Just Another Day Again





It's just another day again...
After the most awaited 
and most celebrated time of the year 
after the Merry Christmas cheer
I'm back to my another day again...

It's just another ordinary day again 
back to the usual thing
back to where I always been
It's just another day again...

And So Again It Is Christmas



And so again
it is Christmas...
When the world celebrates 
in merrymaking 
with love and gifts 
under the Christmas tree...
Sending greetings of cheer
to family and friends...

And so again 
it is Christmas...
But in my world 
it's the saddest time
to recall...

My Heart Still Whispers




I Love you Love
My heart still whispers
in every moment 
in my every breathe 
in my every sigh
in every drop
of tears from my eyes
My heart still whispers 
I Love you Love

This is all what's here for me
to gaze at your name
just to read your name...

To My Grave



Every memory...
Every tick of time...
Every breath...
Pulling me
cruelly 
gradually 
to my grave...

Looking at the Mirror





Looking at the mirror 
I could only see traces of my pains...
Of my wounds that never heals...
Of the time gone by...
Of the memories 
of all my tears...

Looking at the mirror
I could not see a trace 
of a morrow...
Of a day and a time
When my tears
will dry...

Looking once again 
at the mirror
I can see my soul 
pleading for hope
For a day...
For a morrow...

A Muted Poetry



I say please forgive 
I speak no words
my mouth is locked 
deep within my heart...

Please forgive 
My poetry is mute
rhyming no other lines 
But the woes of my broken heart...

Please forgive
No exquisite  verses
Just gratefully grateful
for your reading 
the voices of my heart...

Remember December?...


Remember September...?
When you pushed me out from your life...

Remember October...?
When you said "I'm here to stay..."

Remember November...?
Our first embrace
after decades
Tightly
In tears
So long....

Remember December...?
You said 
"let Christmas be our day
So we will never ever forget..."

Remember?....

In So Many Times





In so many times 
to you
my heart would like 
to cry out my pain ...

In so many times
I wish 
that you could hear 
and see my tears...

In so many times 
I wanted you to know
the wounds you caused 
in my heart 
never heals...

In so many times 
I wish i could tell you 
how and how much 
you hurt me.....
crashing my whole being
into pieces never mending...

Dear Broken Heart




God feels your pain
God knows everything...
Through all these years
through your everyday 
always keeping you 
in His care...
The many sad things 
that in your life had happened 
caught you trapped 
in your never ending pain
draining your whole being...
The lonely dark years 
have been so long
and the memories 
kept coming back...
Yes they never leave...
they will always stay... 
because those memories 
are a part of us... 
because
they are the memories 
of the people we love... 
Yes they are the gone pieces 
of our broken heart
broken life...

Nothing we can do...
The gone days
we can not bring back...
Breathe now in your today 
though things has lost meaning 
though the memories of the pain 
are what lingers...
Just breathe...
God wants you to know
to Him you have meaning 
Quiet now your soul
Just breathe... 
and look up to the skies 
It's vastness 
is God's divine presence...
The mistakes, and tragedies 
of the past 
can never forfeit 
His loving grace in you... 
It may have been too long now... 
but God's time is always perfect... 
It is never late
for us that believes in Him...

Must I Be Gone



Must I be gone
Must I eradicate 
my scattered pieces 
leaving no traces
of the memories 
of all my pain...

Must I be gone
Must I refrain 
from penning my heart
so crashed un-mending 
and forever be silent
in my world of tears
on my own...

Must I be gone...
Must I stop
holding on in the air
knowing nothing 
mean anything
at all...

Just Scribble




Just scribble 
All the content 
of your heart

Your screams 
in your silence 
Your anguish 
Your grieving 

Every painful
throbbing 
Every sobbing 
Every weeping 

As the tears 
on your face 
running down 

Just let it flow...
Just let it be...
Just scribble...

Your pain 
just write them down...

The Fallen Leaves in Fall





The fallen leaves in Fall

I took my last chance 
to frame-in the images 
of the beautiful colors In Fall...
I could not help not stare
at the lovely fallen leaves 
as deep in my soul
my heart is flooding
in tears...
As the memories recalls 
of the moments
of the words, 
of the days
of the love 
that I believed was real...
Yet they never last 
they have become like 
fallen leaves in Fall....

I Found Myself







When I finally learned 
where I belong
I found myself 
in the verses
of my poems

The Word Goodbye




The time has come 
the word goodbye I need to learn...
I've rhymed so many lines
I've painted all my grieving...
In the rain I've screamed 
the deepness of my pains 
echoing with the winds...

The world have read my verses
undying love in misery I loudly penned 
Though my wounds are never mending
through all my sorrowful malady
in God's amazing grace I remained...

I've cried so many tears
I've held on through all the sadness 
I understand the reasons why 
on me, the light of day
will never come to shine again...

Through all the love and hopelessness 
the word goodbye I need to learn 
Through all that I've been
the  time has come for me 
to park my pen..

On 4 walled room...





I faded away from my world 
I chose to close my doors
and live on 4 walled room 
locked my heart
shut my sanity on my own...

But my window is wide open 
to gaze on the skies
before and after I close my sight...
and breathe a sigh
as tears again and again
falls from my eyes...

My Truth




It is so sad 
but it's the truth
that pain defines
my everyday...
my every minute...
every blink of my eyes...
every throb of my heart...
Through all the day
until I close my eyes
at night...
til I wake up 
to another morning 
still with tears in my eyes...

Desire




Desire
A burning passion 
Most of the time a wonderful feeling
Sometimes consuming...
at times misleading...

There is something about desire 
that we all need to know
To let not be consumed
and be not be burned
but instead be guided
be informed...

Remember beware
Carnal desire is a liar...
Shrug away your shoulders 
and resist...
choose to do wise...

Let your desires be
of that which are seeking 
for the good
for what's true
for what's pure
for what edifies
for what brings good report
for what brings peace
for what brings joy for the heart...

In Silence...




In silence 
is my reality 
hearing the voices within
carving tears in my eyes...
In silence
is where I can be me
riven in my finality...

Always In My Heart

Always in my heart...
I hear the whispers of the wind
You're always in my heart...

I just want to sleep...





I just want to sleep...
just want to close my eyes
hoping my mind 
will pause to forget
all the thoughts and pain
creeping in my heart 
and in my head...
Voices of my realities 
that never leaves...

Autumn Winds




The autumn winds
Brushing on my skin 
a touch of sadness 
they bring...
The autumn winds
Bringing back the memories 
of the pains
of the promises gone in vain...
The autumn winds
Failing leaves falling 
losing hold of time
blown away by the wind...

Autumn has come...



Autumn has come...

Today I recall
The last autumn 
that were buried 
with the fallen leaves
in Fall...

Lovely colors
of yellow and reds
with orange and brown 
dampened beneath 
lofty lonely trees...

Each leaf
speaks for a time 
of moments of love 
of hopes and dreams 
of tears and pain
swiftly blown away
in one autumn wind...

Just waiting for time...






🍂My flesh shivering 
my body so weak...
could hardly lift a finger...
could hardly take air to breathe...
So tired with sadness...
torn worn by pain...
In my life 
I stopped searching for meaning...
I have lived to my fullest...
I have given my best...
I have loved to the truest...
Now...
just waiting for time
to take my breath and be one with the gale...
So shall my sadness and pain be gone 
then shall my meaning be mine...🍂

Tempest...



   
        


Amidst the turbulent waters 
holding on to a pole 
as the cruel flow 
devoured everything 
before his  very eyes...
there he was 
standing for his life...

Then I saw myself...
standing there...

There I was 
caught in the middle 
of my tempest...
So suddenly so swiftly...
my world turned around 
so instantly...
All that I believed
were all washed away...

Hopelessness...





Realizing the loss...
The sorrow to know
that the love you love so much
will never ever come back...
The feeling of looking beyond the ocean
far too far gazing on nothingness...
Deep in this heart is pain...
deeper than the ocean...
Hopelessness...

If there is...




If there's a place that I could choose to go...
It is to you...
If there's a time that destiny will bring me back
I will stay in my memories of you...
If there's a life that God will allow me to live
I pray to live my lifetime with you...

Upon waking up on my every morning...



Upon waking up on my every morning 
I would remind myself again and again...
that though another day in each day
is greeting me in tears and pain
I am breathing every breath 
surrounded by God's amazing grace
comforted with His truth
trusting His faithfulness...
Today as  I woke up to another morning 
though I will face another day
in everyday in pain and tears...
My heart will completely trust His will...


      Manuelle Augustine 
            @9/6/2015

The Best Will of God...






God's will 
is all beautiful 
all wonderful 
all perfect...
Sometimes 
to some they come easy...
to some they come not...
With each life
are different stories
Yet countless as the sand
God deals accordingly with each one...
In different strokes 
but same loving grace...
But most of the time
we wander with our free will...
A lot of us walks in our own way...
many care less about God
or and does not believe in God...
As we trod in our chosen path
faced with many choices
living life in our own understanding 
most of the time 
we are pushed in harms way...
dragged in hurts and pains...
Yet God cares...
Always cares...
But...always
we least recognize 
that He is leading our way...
fixing our crooked crossed roads 
into one straight path
one by one
unloading our loads...
directing our way into His best will...
For He is all knowing...
He knows What's Best...
for each one of us...
"And there are times 
that we need to throw away...
to give up...
to let go...
of the things that 
we dearly value...
to let what is best 
and the good 
and beautiful 
take over 
in our life..."
in obeying and completely trusting 
the will of God...

One September





One September...

I know not how 
where to start to pen
the September in my life 
that I could never forget...
Each day were sealed with tears...

Oh how can I ever forget
the saddest moments in time 
that turned all my days 
into a land of grief...
and the sun 
ceased on rising
dumping my soul 
in unrelenting rain...

In one September in my life
I lost my world...
I lost myself...
Alive pushed buried
in my somber grave...

"Waiting..."




I read this word today
Oh how like a knife it struck 
deep into my heart
for the word
has so much to say...
so much story to tell
that no words could ever suffice
to contain the pain...

"Waiting..."
I have been waiting...
I waited...
I gave myself, my time, my efforts 
my all, my everything 
because I believed...
I've waited...
to just find my own one day...
All are but just wasted...
Waiting...I waited for nothing 
There's non to wait...
After All...

The Peril




The peril
He sent me to my perils 
I journeyed everyday
in a land of nowhere...
I trod in thorny dark valleys
my flesh worn and torn 
anxiety is everywhere...
I am sailing on a ship
though loads unloaded
but the storms keep raging
in the middle of nothing
where my tears and the rain
become one in falling...
with the chaos of its whirling 
I could not even hear my soul
to the heavens screaming...
'Oh Lord!
My God!'
'Please send your mercy
and calm my storms...
you sent me to this peril
to learn thy Will...
In your heart I have faith
Please stop the haunting winds
and whisper in my soul 
so I may hear your voice
loud and clear
that I may know the purposes
to where you're leading me 
then shall I follow and obey...'

  "Forgive me Lord..."

Forgive me  Lord
for the chances
that I shouldn't have taken...
Forgive me for not 
choosing to do 
what is righteous then...
Forgive me 
for causing all these hurts to myself...
Forgive me for not
choosing to do your will...
Forgive me for failing me...
Forgive me for failing you...
Forgive me 
for  all the pain
and injustice 
I allowed to happen to myself...
Forgive me for hurting me...
Forgive me for all my tears...
Forgive me Lord 
for crying for what you did not will for me...

A comment to a Poem 'original sin'




Wail no more dear soul 
In the cross 
The Lord Jesus has paid it all...
The original sin is gone
from eternal death
Jesus redeemed
the soul of everyone...

We have been paid for a price
We can never pay 
Saved by His blood
from the pangs of Satan
we have been set free...
So sin no more dear soul
the stain of original sin
is gone ...
No more...

Repent now 
from your transgressions 
Received the salvation 
The Lord Jesus
ransomed you for...
Live the forgiven life
and sin no more...
Jesus died on the cross
and from death He is risen
from eternal damnation 
He saved us all...

The Calling...



         The Calling...

You brought me to the valleys
to climbed the mountains
I walked on thorns...

You led me to the waters
I crossed the seas
I shed ocean of tears...

You brought the great pour
In the cold
I stood in the storms...

You lead me through all
your grace calls
equipping me 
to follow your call...

The world I see...



I see love
everywhere...
couples holding hands
cuddling
embracing
caring...

I read many lines 
of love and loving
of faithfulness 
of commitment
and believing...

But 
here in me 
I see myself 
in a world 
of tears and pain...
betrayed by the love
I falsely believed...

Oh the world I see
passing by in each day...
cutting my heart in pieces 
in every breathe I take
and  sigh away...

Roses from a friend




Roses 
from a friend
