Painting My Pain



I will go on
painting my pain
in the rain
tainted tears of misery 
flowing in my poetry

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...

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....

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...

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...

Poetry Challenge 1 of 4



(A reply to a comment by Sir PatrickM)

Yes 
I am what I am
The reflection of my soul 
The mirror of my heart and mind...
deep within grace unraveling...

But the grace of God
is different with that of man...
The radiance of the beauty of His grace 
is mighty and divine...
beyond wonderful...
sublime...

Non-sense to equal 
with man
for after all 
we are just but dust 
in time we be gone...
The beauty we posses
are but fleeting
we never stay 
one day we fade away...

But if in God you do not believe 
the words i scribble 
will never matter 
For only those who have faith
in His Deity and Majesty 
will know and understand 
the beauty and wonder 
and the power
of His grace...

Led by His Grace





I always believed
It is Gods grace
that led me to my pen...
He provided the way
for me to breathe 
to cry... 
to scream...
to release the sorrows 
and pains...
He sent the lines 
for me to rhyme
comforting
this dying heart of mine...
and in every verse I write 
His loving grace 
shines......

In My Poetry





I pen my poetry 
to cry out my anguish...
painting  in words 
the agony and misery
that I can not contain
they are too many 
too heavy to bear...
my wounds so deep 
so great 
they never heal
waiting 
for God's miracle...

It's been long 
but I am still here 
trap in pangs of hurts 
and strain
though in poetry I chant
Gods healing grace
yet until now
I am still buried 
in my tears...

Too many times
I stumbled and fell
running to and pro 
like waves on the seashores 
the sadness are winning 
my heart whining 
still  I am drowned 
in my bereave...
Again
In my poetry I turn 
penning down my pain...
again and again...

Last Drop of Pain





(A comment to Poetry's Poem)

I pray
my pen may ink 
the last drop of pain...
and my heart shall 
praise God
through all the rain...
Then shall my sorrows be gone 
and my soul may breathe 
life and love 
again...

In my reality



Silence...
Stillness...
My heart rests...
After the rain of tears
After all the reflecting
of the things 
that I can not change
in this silence
in this stillness
is where I am
in my reality...

In the haze...





Again I gaze 
    on the memories 
I trace the maze 
    to find my place
In the haze
    I see your face
in every detail
   of every tears...

Trying to...



Trying to live a day
 in a poetry...
Trying to get over sadness 
through words...
Trying to exist
through my poem...

Shattered




Still looking for the right words 
to describe the pain...
sadness that in no moment
subsided...
As I lay down my head 
on my pillow
tears running down...
In my  dark and silent room
could only hear 
anguish and weepings 
of my grieving soul...
Though refusing  to think 
of what had been
helping myself to go on living 
pushing every step forward 
leaving the past behind...
Yet in every step... 
in every sigh...
are teardrops
for lost time and hopes...
for shattered faith and love...

Out from his life...




Out from his life...
he chose her out from his life
the only choice he has
to put her out from his life...

Gone from his life... 
he chose her gone from his life
the one who stood by him
through all his battles...
Who grabbed and held him
through all his struggles...
never leaving nor forsaking
embracing his all
and his everything...

He chose her out from his life
the love that he believes...
the dream that he dreamt...
his promises he can never keep...
his only choice is
to choose her gone from his life...

with the wind




All these time 
I can hear the cry of my heart 
A cry of believing
of hearing the voice 
it used to hear...
of the soul that used to be there
though all are loud and clear
All are now but a sad story to tell...
The  words...
The heart...
The love ...
They're  all now gone
with the wind 
they all have flown...
