A WAY OUT FROM HELL

In my younger days I sought to serve the Lord
To get out of the Hell inside, by learning His Word
The devil made my mind its playground not of my liking
I fought the pain of confusion by clinging to my King
The fight started with a bible sharing I joined with
The struggles inside as Jesus for my soul did bid

In every meeting I withstood the pain of humiliation
Revealing how ignorant I was of the church'es acclamation
Fighting self that the forbidden words won't come out
For twenty years God made me fight the bout
Until I asked for exorcism be done to me
I told my husband "I am possessed don't you see?"

I was slain together with the rest by the Holy Spirit
Until day by day, the devil finally stopped his visit
Now I know God chose me to be tempted
To know His Teachings that to others I may spread
To spread the Truth of the Triune God
Father, Son, and The Spirit, the greatest gift I had

AS GOD COUNTS SHIPS

As God counts ships crashing through histoty
Thousands of lives being claimed by the sea
Only through His omniscience lies the answer
The answer man tried to find out thereafter

His Omnipotence could have stopped the disaster
By just borrowing a few moments from forever
His Omnipresence could have seen the hidden danger
Did He let these things happen to abate His anger?

But God is all-loving, another attribute He possess
It is I believe through which, we, He bless
An all loving God making things happen for our good
Overcoming our freewill when damnation ruled

Then as God counts ship
He puts millions of souls to sleep
They will awaken not in the sea
But open their eyes in Heaven to rest peacefully

I SLEPT WITH THE MOON

I Slept with rhe moon
For I became sleepy so soon
But instead of lying with me on the bed
It stayed above as on the grass I rested

I slept with the moon above
As somewhere it shone on my true love
My love who might be in another's arms
Captured by her lying charms

I awakened to a sight of a shooting star
Maybe it landed where you are
As I wished for you to return
As my lesson on love I did learn

WALK DON'T RUN

Walk, don't run
The day is not yet done
Don't walk in a hurry
There is time to tarry

Walk, don't run
Savor the remaining sun
For it may set soon
To give room for the moon

Soon it will be dark
You won't see the daises in the park
Or hear the birds chirping
For soon they will be sleeping

Walk don't run
Enjoy the smell of the baking bun
The neighbor is preparing dinner
Wondering what is prepared by Mother?

AS I COME INTO TERMS WITH MYSELF

As I come into terms with myself
Like a book gathering dust in the shelf
I wiped away the dust and started to read
A diary of my life it slowly revealed

A diary of one who was saved from slavery
Slavery from sin, vices, and things petty
Jesus' crucifixion, death and ressurection
Recorded my life, revealed by circumspection

For Jesus came to earth to save me
Through His crucifixion to save humanity
The book gathering dust was the bible
Leading me to worship the babe in the stable

As the three Kings offered gifts for the child
Accept my gift of my life oh Lord so mild
Now that I have come to terms with myself
Let the bible not gather again dust in the shelf

FEAR OF THE LORD

Fear of the Lord is a gift by the Holy Spirit
A holy fear that in our hearts does sit
It is the fear of offending the Holy One
It calls us to do reparations when sin is done

This fear does not talk of terror
It talks of piety and hope with fervor
A God of awesome goodness, how can you offend?
Who died to save us, as the Father did send

Of the gifts of the Spirit, it is the greatest
Then wisdom, understanding, counsel as the rest
Fortitude, knowledge, piety will we possess
Once we open our hearts to the Lord's graces

WHEN LOVE REAPS ITS GLORY

When love reaps its glory
You will find Heaven's key
To be in the presence of Jesus
Won't you this path choose?

When love reaps its glory
You'll be in God's company
A happiness untold
As Truth does unfold

For Truth will keep you at peace
with God, as charity you practice
Then love will just go on to grow
To reach out to others, love you sow

Love will then bloom like flowers
Across the fields nourished by showers
These flowers will rhen be laid on your grave
To praise your soul for the love you gave

I TALKED TO THE TREES

I talked to the trees
Silence was the answer I had
I talked to the flowers
Not even a nod

I talked to the moon
It hid behind the cloud
I talked to the sun
An answer was not allowed

I talked to God and He answered me
The answer I found in my heart
Through each beating calling for God
That keeps the clue from the start

LOVE FOR THEE

Love for Thee
I keep within me
I nourish with prayers
To glow like ambers

Love for Thee
Keeps me to see
A future in Heaven
For the love I have given

WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING

It is the wee hours of the morning
I can still hear my inner voice whispering
Poems of praises I spread through the net
I see it slowly unfold in my computer set

For poetry's juice continue to flow
I have to sit down and type for it to grow
I cannot sleep on it then have it lost
I have to feed it in the computer host

It is my way of praying my friends
I have to capture the inspirations he sends
Then the poem becomes a worthy offering
A thank you for the blessings from our King

ACROSS THE SEA

Across the sea
The horizon is calling to me
Where the earth meets the sky
Man reaching for God on High

Across the sea
Where I want to be
The earth kisses heaven
Where one will find a friend

Across the sea
Jesus waving I see
A call to conversion
Leading man to Salvation

ONE MORNING IN JUNE

One morning in June
With the waxing of the moon
We said our vows together
As the rain ourside came in a shower

One early morning of November
Thirty-six years after
Your heart stopped beating
To answer God calling

Now on early morning of new year
After two years I still miss you dear
You kept me awake to this time
To write for you some rhyme

If Heaven counts years
Then my darling, "Cheers"

PROTECT MY CONSCIENCE FROM CALLOUSNESS

Lord, protect my conscience from callousness
Wrongs done by me through thy words redress
That my guilt tell me if I was wrong
That I may continue to praise you with my song

Lord protect my heart that it will not harden
Let me seek your sacrament of penance to be forgiven
Lord as you whisper your forgiveness to my ear
Clear once more the guilt that gives my fear

LET ME BE UNDAUNTED

Let me be undaunted by the indifference
The crowd is showing thinking I have no sense
Let me not be afraid to shout your name aloud
A God who, on the second coming will ride on a cloud
To give Final Judgment to all, dead or alive
That we for every breath we take for Heaven strive

Let the Holy Spirit work within me
That all the Truth may come out freely
As I talk to a crowd you brought to your presence
Make all my words be truthful without pretense
Then everything you called me to do
Will not be for my glory but for the love of you

AS THE CLOCK JUMPS TO ANOTHER YEAR

As the clock jumps to another year tonight
May lessons this year not leave our sight
As each year changes through the seasons
May God lead us through all the dawns

May we strive to be a better being
Compete with selves instead of fault finding
Then everything will be in harmony
As all of us in the coming year be in unity

IN MY SIMPLE WAYS

In my simple ways
In each or all my days
Grant that I may spread your words
Keep me in tune with your angels' chords

Let me write the rhymes you inspire
That will set men's hearts on fire
Hearts that burn for the love of you
Giving praises in whatever they do

God each day as I write my verses to you
Is filled with happiness that is so true
Consecrating to you my whole life
With you, my Lord I can go through any strife

IF I WILL DO THINGS AGAIN

If I will do things again
I will ask my friends to remain
Especially you my child
Most of all as you smiled

When life seems unkind
It gives the lessons to find
Lessons you pass on to others
More than gold it glitters

For life is a treasure hunt
Say "can" instead of "can't"
Heaven will give the measure
To find the real treasure

The lesson is "Love God above all"
Then "Love your neighbor" even if they fall
With God living in your heart
Never from the right path you'll depart

THEN THERE IS NONE

As I tried to defeat my enemy one by one
I battled through each, until there was none
Anger, pride, greed and lust I conquered with temperance
Envy, sloth, and gluttony through forbearance

Then the Lord said "keep vigilant"
Temptations will come that are more unpleasant
"Whenever you are tempted, call on my Holy name"
I will bear your sins as in one Good Friday I came

Then Easter is the time for your ressurection
From sins saving you from total damnation...

YOU HAVE A ROLE MY CHILD

Sinner or saint, you have a role my child
Rich or poor, pauper or prince, angry or mild
Tasks you do are building blocks for this world
That may build or destroy lives, young or old

Come my child, get out of your shell
Just stand up and strive after down, you fell
You may not be able to undo sins you've done
Leave everything to God, the Mighty One

He will send events to those you've done wrong
As you learn and meet others sing them your song
For our God is a True God of Salvation for all
From sinner to saint can you now hear His Call?

MOTHER NEVER TOLD ME

Mother never told me
That life won't be that easy
She hid things for me to see
For she was always in glee

I thought life was a fairy tale
That was never touched by gale
But when she and Father was gone
Then my heartaches began

But they taught me about God
The best treasure I ever had
Guiding me through life
As I go through any strife

If my poem reaches them in Heaven
Then, to all they taught me I say "Amen"

MOTHER'S NOTES

A mother's notes will not lie
As she sings a lullabye
She never went out of tune
As she swear to her man one morning of June

A mother will not lie to her baby
She may just say "maybe"
Be glad when she says she loves God more than you
Then you know she loves you so true

For it is by God that we love
A feeling blessed by Heaven above
A love so unselfishly given
Asking for nothing but to lead you to Heaven

THE TRUTH

The Truth unfolds before my eyes
Erasing all the deceitful lies
I tell you it was not easy my brother
It almost took a lifetime but not forever

For forever Jesus saved for me
To be with Him through eternity
As life's lessons tossed me around
Now on shore resting on the ground

But then I must not be complacent
The enemy might come as truth he once bent
Let the Truth of Jesus reside on your heart
His Spirit, if you don't reject, won't depart

AS WITH LOVE YOU SEE

As with love you see
God's creations with beauty
Through a spectacle ground by God
By which your soul is clad

As with love you see
Everything touched by His divinity
Nothing happens without His blessing
All graces will come through believing

Even you believe you have the gift
Everything you do, to God you lift
Then everything follows like the seasons
Expressing spontaneously nature's emotions

JESUS' SONG

My brother can't you see?
That you are hurting me
Though you slapped my cheek
I will offer the other one so meek

The Truth you tried to wrestle with
For greatness you tried to bid
With blind reasonings you toy around
How can you say peace you have found

Peace that you find elusive
You will know once God you forgive
Don't blame Him for your misfortune
For you have to go through the tune

Songs have to go through rhythms and rhymes
As different bells rings different chimes
Come rest your weary mind on my words
With truth you will be soothed with angel's chords

WHEN GOD CLOSES THE DOOR

"When God closes the door
He somehow opens the window"
He opened poetry's gallore
As I am not like some, when I came to know

It saddens me to be apart from the rest
But I say God is the greatest company
He makes me become my best
As he granted me the gift of poetry

All day I can sing glory to His creations
As with the inner sight He gave I can see
Pouring out His blessings in an unendless portions
As I cooperate with His graces working in me

MY MUSE AND ME

My muse and me
Giving birth to poetry
From morning till night
Keeping my soul in sight

My poem's parent for the day
Sets the tune to a sweet array
Its siblings lining up
Overflowing my poetic cup

My muse and me
A perfect company
To praise God through His grace
Setting the inspirations ablaze

MORNING DEW

Morning dew
Nature's cue
For an awakening
To the day's beginning

Morning dew
A day anew
To correct wrongs
To sing new songs

Morning dew
A greeting for you
From God's thresholds
As beauty unfolds

Morning dew, morning dew
A miracle so true
To witness God's glory
And His unending story

I FEEL PRETTY

I feel pretty
When you give that look to me
I feel messed up
As I imagined to sit on your lap

I feel pretty
As a smile I see from thee
A smile from your lips
As I melt from your grips

CAN I GO ON LOVING YOU

Can I go on loving you
Even though you bade adiue
My emotions will be my company
As you remain but a memory

Can I go on loving you
A feeling that is not new
I loved you since the start
Eversince you stole my heart

Loving you is the only thing left
As pain seared through my heart's depth
Even your shadows left with you
Refusing to accept this love so true...

LOVE DENIED

Love denied
I really cried
The pains in my heart
Tore the flesh apart

Love denied
When I knew you lied
My tears were falling
As I saw your new fling

Love denied
Oh how I cried
I lost you for another
As with embrace, you she did smother

KEEPING DISTANCE

Keeping distance was what we needed
Though my heart for you silently pleaded
I was not free from my hurting emotions
As life taught me one of its lessons

Now my feelings are still the same
Though my heart you did already claim
By your penetrating look through my eyes
Searching for my feelings my mind denies

So let us keep distance my love
For that is the only defense I have
Then I will be ready when due
When you say the words "I love you"

DON'T POP THE QUESTION YET

Don't pop the question yet
The pains I still cannot forget
Of losing someone I care for
Who has gone beyond heaven's door

Popping the question at the wrong timing
May spell doom for a life with you my darling
I don't expect you to wait for the wound to heal
Until together, before the altar we can truthfully kneel

Your happiness is something I wish for
I won't keep hanging a man I adore
Dance with another until I am through grieving
If you are free by then, love will for us sing

AS LONELINESS I DENY

As my loneliness I deny
I pleaded my love and got no reply
Writing poems of love tirelessly
Hoping someone will take a chance to love me

As my loneliness I deny
But my feelings cannot lie
Words of love turn to frustration
When my poetic mind get controlled by my emotion

As loneliness I deny
I am lead through my words to silently cry
But then I still get no answer
From someone who will love me to forever...

May I Say I Love You

May I say I love you my child
I hope this brightens your day
Coming to face the world so mild
You are my happiness may I say

As I run my fingers through your hair
I hope you will feel my love
Touching your skin so smooth and fair
My grandchild you bring peace like a dove

As Your Temple Go To Waste

As my body go to waste oh Spirit of God
That you found worthy to be your temple of love
With the gifts you bestowed on this humble self
You are the most precious treasure that I ever have

My weakening body and failing memory
Clinging on to your presence inside
At my last breath let me call on God
Any sin to Jesus let me not hide

Holy Trinity... Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit
My soul to you I lift

PRETENDING TO BE IN LOVE

Pretending to be in love
Is all the amusement I have
As I sit in front of the computer
Pretending that I am writing for a lover

I refuse to be lonely for the day
Writing a poem, all sadness it does allay
Come be my company
As you read a poem from me

Pretending to be in love with someone
Would you like to be the subject my man?

DON'T GET ME WRONG

Don't get me wrong
As you read my song
A song without a melody
Coming from my heart incompletely

Yes you give me inspirations
To write some poetic potions
But then I don't love you enough yet
And give me reason my freedom to forget

THERE IS NO DENYING

There is no denying
As I felt in your eyes one evening
Among so many people around
Your eyes rested on mine spellbound

There is no denying
Love has unwrapped its meaning
But then I caused you pain
When I made fun of this guessing game

There is no denying
That you drifted away my darling
My pride keeps me from begging you back
To give light to my world that turned dark

There is no denying...
As my heart now is crying...

EVERYBODY KNOWS

Everybody knows that I love you
That I don't expect you to love me too
Everybody knows that I feel blue
As you brush me aside as a cue

Everybody knows that I'm a fool
When at the sight of you I drool
Everybody laughs at this silly me
As I go try to catch a glimpse of thee

I Thought You Loved Me

I thought you loved me
As tenderness in your eyes I did see
But then my fate spelled gloom
As I saw you with someone entering the room

I thought you loved me
With all your lies that seemed lovely
But then you loved another one
How can I accept that my dear man

WILL YOU TAKE A CHANCE

Will you take the chance?
Ask the question that leads to romance
Will you hold my hand my darling
And slowly slip an engagement ring

Will you take the chance
And put me in a trance
As you ask "Will you marry me?"
Come on, please do not tarry

AS I COME TO FACE REALITY

As I come to face reality
That you don't really love me
That what I thought from you was love
Is nothing but just a delusion I have

As I come to face reality
That I am not at all dear to thee
I thought it was me you adore
Until reality opened its door

All the nice gesture from you
Was nothing but for friendship's due
How can I survive this realization
Of a misinterpreted emotion...

WHEN WORDS OF LOVE I HEAR

When words of love I hear
As you draw me close my dear
I come to feel you are my all
And would run to you any time you call

When a look of tendernes I see in your eyes
That keeps defying all the lies
Haunting me wherever I go
Telling me softly, you love me so

Then the words of love I hear
I say back to you my dear
"Come closer to me
And taste the reverie..."

AS I SEEK YOUR COMPANY

As I seek your company
To be even for a moment with thee
Life once more gain it's meaning
When to you I surrender my being

As I seek your company
To have respite from being lonely
In this crowd your eyes searched for mine
As my gaze landed on your face divine

JUST LOVE ME

Just love me, just love me
That is all I ask of thee
Forget all the doubt in your mind
And all the past left behind

Just love me, just love me
I hope you do hear my plea
Coming from this heart of mine
That dreams of being thine

LOVE ME EVEN ONLY FOR A MOMENT

Love me even only for a moment
If a life with you is not meant
Hold my hand my love as a start
As I pretend we will never part

Love me even for a while
Pretending you'll bring me to the aisle
Kiss me with all your passion
As I unleash this pent up emotion

WHEN FRIENDS STAY AWAY

When friends stay away
Avoiding you to your dismay
When they refuse your company
That really makes you so unhappy

When people you considered as friends before
When they close to you the circle's door
Pick up the pieces and stand up
Find yout strength in heaven's cup

For Jesus is around to console you
Offering friendship so really true...

THEN LOVE CAME

Then suddenly love came
After playing a guessing game
Asking "Does he love me, does he not"
He loves me was the answer I got

I asked a flower by picking it's petals
I asked the stars perched on the sky's pedestals
I asked the moon giving light in the dark
The answer was yes, as a song from the lark

He cares for me can it really be?
Oh destiny, can you bring him to me?

PRETENDING TO BE IN LOVE

Pretending to be in love
Is all the relief I can have
Freeing me from desolation
Intoxicating myself with poetry's potion

Pretending to be in love
Coming at peace like a dove
When love really comes
Can I recognize it without qualms?

WHEN NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE

When no one seems to care
Then suddenly you are there
Offering your love for me
Making me so very happy

Let everyone desert me
All I care for is your company
Come let's have a life together
Let us start the day to forever

WHEN FROM LONELINESS I AM FREE

When from loneliness I am free
Can I then claim a right to love thee
Coming to terms with my grief
From loneliness in your arms find relief

When from loneliness I am free
Then I can say you're not just a crutch for me
But someone I truly love with my heart
And with whom I can make a brand new start

DO YOU LOVE ME

Do you love me?
I ask as I sing in plea
A song meant for thee
A song with a lonely melody

Do you love me?
You're all I want can't you see
To my future you hold the key
From loneliness do set me free

MAKE ME A VESSEL OF HOPE

Make me a vessel of hope Oh Lord
Leading the hopeless on your arc to board
An arc of peace and quiet happiness
Through your presence everyone you bless

A vessel that will protect them from sorrow
From unbearable pain grant them forlough
Lord as I come to you to bless me wirh this task
As a recompense, guidance and strength I ask

SHALL I LET YOU INTO MY LIFE AGAIN

Shall I let you into my life again
When all you bring my heart is but pain
The wounds you have caused have not healed
The sorrows I still feel though concealed

Shall I let you into my life again
Wnen all you cause my heart is to be broken
Tell me this time you promise to be true
Maybe again I will open the door to you
