For Mama ... On Mother's Day

Thank you 

for your love 

you're always there for me...

Thank you for your touch

they warmed and comforted me...

Thank you for your hands 

for guiding and taking care of me

Thank you for your heart 

for teaching me love 

and for loving me 

Thank you Ma

for being my Mama...

I love you Ma...

Moments...

Moments

I wish to have my moments...

Moments back 

of the embraces that I lost...

Moments of the love

that used to be here...

Moments when my tears will dry

and never fall again...

Moments 

when my heart 

could truly smile and breathe...

Moments back 

and forever embrace...

Mist

Whenever my heart remembers

the moments and the words...

Whenever my heart again 

recalls how the days had been...

and when what I can see around 

are the mist of the memories...

silence and emptiness 

are all that I can hear...

Tears are the only thing

I have sustaining...

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...

Chain of Pain

There's a chain called pain

sealed in rain of tears

each drop have their own

story to tell...

There is a chain called  pain

locked deep within

screaming, wreathing 

breaking in...

There's a chain called pain

of hurts and sins 

of failures and regrets 

of loss and loneliness 

we caused to ourselves 

and inflicting on one another...

You were hurt as you cause hurt 

they were hurt as they cause hurt

The other hurt as another hurts

the chain of hurts 

the chain of pain 

They're all around 

in every story 

in every spark  of tears...

Where I Belong...

When I think of my tears

I think of how my life have been...

I think of the days and moments 

that God has seen...

I think of why God 

allowed them all to happen...

In my tears

I look around...

of after all what have came my way...

of where God have brought me 

and what I have now today...

I pause to think...

after all that He allowed 

and taken away... 

from where and from what

He did not will for me...

I say to my heart and myself

Look around you today...

here and this 

is where God willed you to be...

be quiet now in your soul 

for whatever may be 

in His grace 

is where you belong to be...

I am missing the love...

I am missing the love 

the love that is no longer here

the love that pushed my love away 

and closed all tomorrow's doors...

I am missing my love 

the love that I believed was here 

though now I do not know

if what I believed was real...

or was it all a dream unreal...

I am missing my love 

the love that I truly love

the love that l fought for...

the love that I gave my all...

the love that I breathe for...

I am missing the love...

I am missing my gone love...
