when I'm in love

When I am in love;

In my stomach butterflies dance,

In my chest my heart leaps from side to side

My mind wanders at midday to a dream.

When I am in love;

There is no doubt about it,

There is no hiding it,

My smile will give me away.

When I am in love;

I begin to have bouts of uncertainty,

Clouds of doubt begin to hang above me,

But I will pull the sun out from its hiding.

When I am in love;

I will not be able to contain my heart from leaping,

Each time the sweet sound of a name rings in the air,

And the butterflies dance over and over.

Orasyon

Nasaan na kaya ang mga tikbalang? mga asuang at mangkukulam?
Ala-sais na at takip-silim; magmamadaling walisan ang bakuran, isasarang maigi ang pinto sa likuran, ni anino ng mga anghel ay di makakapuslit sa mahigpit na kandadong ilalagay.

Magoorasyon, luluhod, sa lahat ng santo'y tatawag; naway lampasan nila ang aking bubungan, naway huwag ako hayaang mamaluktot sa takot sa magdamag.

today by the river

a photopoem

today by the river, wild and free

by the river I walk silently,

by the river clouds follow me,

by the river cat tails and trees,

today by the river, old trees dance upon the golden waters,

today by the river, by the river is me.

The Year of the Water Dragon

It coils gently around the stars of our fortune,
Like water out of the ancient ocean,
It rises with a mystique carrying favors and the wishes of long ago,
As we bid the golden rabbit back to its hole.
We dance and rejoice under the rain of the water dragon.

May the days under its sign hold no sorrow and
May peace follow its tail all year long.
May its cool breath calm our minds as we pass through changing seasons.
Just like the lilies on a river of chaos,
May it help keep our faith serenely afloat in this lonely little pond.

Remembrance...

Hello my sweet readers, how have you been?

I have been busy with a lot of things at work, and have not the opportunity to post much. Hope you had a fruitful September month yourself.

So today, I just want to share that October is one of the memorable months for me, it is the month when I said yes to becoming the girlfriend to my Mr. Mister, and one of my best friends' birthday month.

This month brings both joyful and sad memories back... I wrote a very short poem about remembering people, of where they used to be in our lives and how we take for granted their presence...

it wrote:

"dusk.remembering...

It is only when one is gone that another remembers; the one who seems to be everywhere, seems to be constantly there.
One cannot remember instantly the other; when they were there, when they were everywhere,constantly."

May your memories and thoughts be filled of the most joyous, and may the painful thoughts not linger and grow into sadness in the depths of your heart.

♥xo♥

hands are clever

soon, soon, soon, we'll reach the stars and the moon
we will bring cupcakes and ride magical ponies
we will tie laces and ribbons on the clouds and flowers
all these and more, just say the magic word
and believe that truly and surely...

hands are clever.

Poetry of the Wild Flowers and Flowering Trees

We went into the blue and under the flowering trees,



And today the clouds are the purest you’ll ever see.



We catch beauty with our hearts that the blue sky cast,



And our minds are set free from the world's worries at last.

Goodmorning!

On writing...

We don't need to have a degree in writing to write,
Just a little whisk of inspiration, a cup of imagination, a spoonful of glee and a drop of tears.
Really, anyone can write just as anyone can cook. But not anyone could write a really good book.
For most they are there to enjoy and read,the words the writer spreads.
But nonetheless write, a note of love or poem of goodbyes.
Whatever the method you use, no matter what style you choose.
Begin a story and tell a tale, or simply doodle your mind away. Pen every word you want to say.

Write, write, write!

Beauty in the Ordinary

Just at dawn I saw you sitting silently with your companions.
While the leaves dry out towards noon...
I walk slowly past you and watched you glow.



All day you pray without ceasing, until finally came a new beginning.
Such a small wonder spread its beauty under the piercing sun,
Then came a soft drizzle to cool your cheeks as you lay on the ground.



I am forever left with awe and wonder, thinking that maybe magical creatures live among your flowers.
As the wind blew across the meadows, you sat still under the sleepy old tree with your companions...
My eyes may forget you today, but my heart will always hold the sweet memory of your glow.
