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

STAND UP MY SOUL

Stand up my soul and fight
Don't give up and cower in fright
People so careless with words
...Piercing the heart like swords

Stand up my soul and fight
Peacefully claim your right
Let God put His wrath on the enemy
God in time will grant you indemnity

MAGPAPATANGAY KA NA LAMANG BA

Magpapatangay ka na lamang ba
Sa sulsol at sinasabi ng iba
Pakinggan mo ang bawat panig
Upang ang konsensiya ay di madaig

Mahal kong ginoo, galit ay iwasan
Sa gatong ng tinuring kaibigan
Puot ng dibdib huwag pagbigyan
Upang hindi magsisi kinalaunan

DIYOS NA MAHAL

Diyos na mahal, na nagbigay sa akin ng dangal
Turuan mo ang aking puso na maging banal
Wari ko ba ako ay nawalan ng puri
Sa mga alipusta na walang pasintabi

Tanging ang iyong kalinga lamang
Ang nagkupkop sa tulad kong mangmang
Na salat sa ligaya tulot ng karangyaan
Tulutan mong talikdan ko ang kasalanan

Diyos na mahal na nagbigay sa akin ng dangal
Ikaw lamang ang tanging pinakamamahal...

LORD WHAT SHALL I DO

Lord what shall I do
A man is stealing my attention from you
Coming from a voice of the past
A feeling that seems to last

Father you sent Jesus as a man
Subjected to temptation being one
With your Spirit within let my focus be set
As you purchase my soul from Eve's debt

A CANDLE IN THE DARK

One lighted candle in the dark
To guide the lost to the arc
Saving us from unspeakable fright
Keeping us company through the night

The Spirit of Jesus burning inside
To the Father's House, our guide
A candle lighted by the Father's grace
Offered for all human race...

COME HOLY SPIRIT LIGHT MY LAMP

Come Holy Spirit, light my lamp
As I start the day bearing fruit
That I may not be lured to the enemy's camp
With your gift of wisdom let me not be astute

With Fortitude that I may stand up for Jesus
Specially among people who use God's name in vain
Your seven gifts leading me to the path to choose
That for all nations... peace, unity we gain

HAVE YOU EYES BUT DO NOT SEE

Have you eyes but do not see
All the sufferings before thee
Despair under the guise of a smile
That hides their brokenness for awhile

Have you ears but do not hear
When someone says "I love you dear"
Spoken softly as he prayed
Failing to hear, farewell you bade

Have you the voice but failed to talk
With a hardened heart, away you walk
Can you not hear and see
That broken person is me...

IN WHATEVER YOU DO

In everything that you do
Do it for the Father above
That evil may not have it's way
Jesus is with you with His love

Fill your mind with the Spirit
Cast away the spell of Eve
Renew every moment your promise
As your fidelity to God you give

With your heart full of humility
Invoke the Triune God, the Trinity...

THE PATH TO THEE

I want to walk the path to thee
The path that leads to eternity
To take the road to holiness
To seek for all sins, forgiveness

Lord, give me the grace of strength
To stay within the fold at any length
No matter how much suffering I will face
Grant me the fortitude to remain in your grace

HOW DO I LOVE THEE MY GOD

How do I love Thee My God
I love thee through all the pains
Through all the good and the bad
With no unforgiveness that in my heart remains

How do I love Thee my God
Through all sorrows and joys of my soul
With all your glory that makes me awed
With all your blessings that makes me whole

AS YOU GREET ME LORD

As you greet me to your presence Lord
Flowers in bloom proclaiming your word
Different hues as my sight behold
Your spirit I feel in a tree's treshold

God proclaiming the beauty through each hue
As I stood not alone in the garden but with you
Then as I walked away greeting me in the street
Your presence everywhere through people I meet

As a bird flying caught my attention above
It perched on the wires with a multitude of dove
Many are your blessings greeting me this morning
Thanking you as through this poem I sing

WHAT WILL HEAVEN BE LIKE

What will heaven be like?
Let me describe what it is not
It is a place where there is no hate
No envy or unforgiveness in the heart

For God will be in your midst
All the feelings in you will be love
A desire to glorify Him in your soul
The Trinity reigning, eternal bliss above

I HAVE A TICKET TO HEAVEN

I have a ticket to Heaven,
Would you like to tag-along?
To dine with God in a banquet
You can pay your way with a song

It is a chance I don't want to miss
Don't you feel the same way too?
Come along and grant me my wish
To be in the company of God and you

GREET ME IN THE MORNING

Greet me in the morning like drops of dew
The light's reflection of a morning anew
As jewels shimmering worn on it's hair
The leaves of a tree like a maiden so fair

With the purity of soul from above
Mists of water so pure like a child's love
As I answer God's call for the moment
Praising His wonders for blessings sent

A TOLL GATE OF SONGS

There is a gate to happiness beyond
But first you have to pay a toll
A song to sing of which you are fond
Giving good tidings to every soul

For first you have to give and reach out
To love with all your heart and soul
A God so great and true no room for doubt
He created for everyone, in His plan a role

After loving God is loving your neighbor
How can you go wrong with God you adore?

LITTLE BUTTERFLIES

Little butterflies in the garden
You remind me of someone in Heaven
Who was once my husband on earth
Went with God after his last breath

Little butterflies dancing around
Flirting with the music without a sound
Going round in circles moving together
Are you singing to the music of forever?

WAITING FOR THE DAWN

Waiting for the dawn
For darkness to be gone
Coming to terms with grief
From my slumber so brief

Come and greet the morn
For the sun again to be born
Angels of God protecting me
From dangers setting me free

My muse inspiring me once more
To a poetry's galore
Feasting on the flow of verses
From the love this maiden nurses

DO I HAVE FAITH OH GOD

Do I have faith in you oh God?
When I seem to have lost my faith in man?
Blaming others for my tribulations
Wallowing in self pity while I can

Let others forsake me Father
Your care and love will be a recompense
Giving me strength to conquer fear
To stand up once more from thence

TREES REACHING OUT

Trees reaching out for each other
From the opposite sides of the road
A never ending quest for forever
Do they have a right my Lord?

I looked up to witness the romance
Their leaves touching each other above
A kiss entwined in endless time of chance
Leaving me to a wonderful feeling of love

Acacia trees planted on each side
Trees filtering the sun almost hid the sky
The campus road desserted as I waited for a ride
An encounter with yesteryears that refused to die

LOVE ME TO FOREVER

Love me to forever or love me never
I want a love so true one can offer
For the love that I will ask of thee
Truer than the best poem that can be

Love me to forever or love me never
What more can I ask from you, my lover?
True love does'nt fade with the years
And cannot be lost with all the tears

JUST TELL ME YOU LOVE ME

Just tell me you love me
The greatest thing that can be
In the abyss of a lost mind
A dream that seems far behind

Just tell me you love me
To my happiness you hold the key
Even if our lives will not be together
A moment with you, a memory to cherish forever

HOW CAN I MAKE YOU LOVE ME

How can I make you love me
To make myself worthy of thee
To dream of a love with you
A life together so very true

How can I make you love me
In your eyes make me lovely
To dream of a life together
Looking through to forever

I THOUGHT I WAS READY TO LOVE AGAIN

I thought I was ready to love again
But you manage to snatch back my heart
As I pledge again my loyalty through my pen
Making each day a brand new start

I still feel your presence in the family
Through bits of pieces of paper bearing your name
Leading me to savor once more with reverie
Remembering how my life lighted up when you came

A BRIDCE TO FOREVER

A bridge to forever let me be
Proclaiming God's salvific grace to humanity
With all men stemming from Adam and Eve
Brothers and sisters in one God we believe

Let me offer peace to thread on, over turbulence
To be a balm for anybody with troubled conscience
To lead the sinners to hope for forgiveness
Your love and compassion for all, as now I witness

LOVE ME EVEN ONLY TILL SPRING

Love me even only till spring
When all the birds and brooks will sing
And all the daffodils with the wind swaying
Then leave me if you must but I will not be crying
...
For the love songs of nature will keep me happy
As all the flowers and birds keep me company
Though my wounded heart will feel the pain
My tears will be washed with the coming of the rain

Your memories will be etched in my heart
Till summer when a new season start
Then the heat of the sun will follow you
As it whisper to the moon and the heaven's crew

Fall will come as the trees shed its hair
Ready to breath the autumn air
As I hybernate in winter to sleep
When I awake you will be then again in my keep....

As You Let Others Shine Too

Bless you my child with your light
Enveloping darkness with your candle so bright
As you light the others' candles to shine too
As a group of stars, a constellation guiding you

Envy and jealousy that you once knew
No more place in the hearts among you
People everywhere guiding each other
A journey to God, with love you muster

LET ME DROWN THE VOICE OF THE ENEMY

Let me drown the voices of the enemy
Whispering unholy thoughts of blasphemy
Bring my mind to set a journey to Thee
Through meditations and the rosary

To the Father's threshold of His Kingdom
Proclaiming on earth as the Spirit come
A kingdom made known to us by His Son
Guide me through Mary as the day is done

Give us the perseverance in the family
In unity, praying the rosary

Love Does Hurt

Love does hurt since we went apart
With all the pain inside my heart
But then being together with you
My conscience cannot permit me to do

To steal you from your family
Or I will lose Heaven's eternity
For God said to love Him above all
With you around, it is an order so tall

So I will just walk away quietly
But still in my heart hold your memory
Maybe someday we will cross path again
To give love to each other worthy of Heaven

As You Cross My Mind

As you cross my mind
That your spell do bind
Whenever your gaze I remember
In a crowded room full of laughter

As your smile formed in your lips
Raising your face as it sips
A glass full of wine for a toast
Your image haunting me like a ghost

As you cross my mind
With all your memories left behind
I wonder where you are
Reaching for a new star?

Chasing your dream somewhere
Or catching a butterfly in the air
Do I cross your mind too?
Maybe we will meet again when due

As They Play The Last Song

As they play the last song for me
In my travel from the grave to eternity
My son be around to sing the last song
Lay me with your father's grave where I belong

Guide me with your light of mercy
From all my sins my God forgive me
With your breath of everlasting life
Let my body lie with my husband as his wife

To You Father I offer my soul
Guide me to forever being whole
Thank you for inspiring me to bear fruit
With your teachings Oh Lord as my root

Divine Grace From Above

Divine grace from above
Come and bless us tonight
With forgiveness from God's love
Who always keeps us in His sight

We have sinned greatly
We are sorry for all sins against Thee
Help us have reparations for them
Cure us like the woman who touched your hem

Cure us of all maladies due to sin
Make us new from the person we have been
Come Jesus into my life once more
As with your strength we bid to sin...nevermore

Love Comes In Dozen

Love comes in dozen
For a beautiful maiden
But polygamy is forbidden
Maybe you can just settle for ten

Love comes in dozen
For a sexy kitten
Be careful with the love-stricken
They can be the angriesr of men

Shall I Fall In Love With You So Soon

Shall I fall in love with you so soon
Then watch it fade like the waning of the moon
Shall I open up myself to you so easily
Then watch your attention wilt like a Lily

Coming to terms with myself I have to do
Before proclaiming my love for you
For love has to stay on to forever
Or let myself learn to say never

I Am Glad I Still Love You

Though departed I am glad I still love you
That makes me feel I am still your wife
That I am not alone and loveless
But still is living a beautiful life

Though a widow I feel to be a merry one
Still feeling your guidance all around
Though I prefer you to be alive with me
I settle for this second best life I found

I Cannot Love You Yet

I cannot let my heart love you yet
For my heart is still full of regret
Of losing my loved one so soon
Like the sun with the coming of the moon

I cannot give my heart to you yet
For it still belongs to him like the sunset
That flirts for a while with the clouds
Then hides from the moon in dark shrouds

I cannot be faithful to you yet
My heart still belongs to him even after death
Should I be ready to love again
I will be running back to you then

Love Shall I Answer Your Call

Love shall I answer your call
Your pleadings I hear them all
Every morning when I awaken
I see your face etched in heaven

Love shall I answer your call
And free from loneliness my soul
I want his quiet company around
Where the blessings of God abound

Love I hear you calling from above
For as I write this poem of love
I know I cannot love another one yet
My heart belongs to you even after death

When You Are Through Running Around

When you are through running around
And is on your way homeward bound
I will be waiting at the door
To love and care for you forevermore

When you are through chasing all the girls
And think you are ready for the churchbells
I will be waiting for you ar home
No matter how far you roam

Shall I Be The First To Say I Love You

Shall I be the first to say "I love you?"
When in your eyes I see you love me too
Shall I be the first to touch your hands
And run my fingers through your hair's strands

Shall I be the first to kiss you
And stand at the tip of my toe
To reach your lips above my head
Though the move should come from you instead

If I Could Turn The Hands Of Time

If I could turn the hands of time
Then I would be there at your death bed
Too busy trying to find out how I can earn a dime
Can you forgive me through all the tears I have shed

If I could turn the hands of time
I should have accepted that you were dying
Now nothing can bring you back, even the best of rhyme
Can you forgive me my darling?

The only consolation left in me
Is the memory of a friend's word
That you knew that with all my heart I loved thee
And I know you died in the graces of the Lord

Lord Help Me Make My Daily Quest

I feel like a child again learning to walk
Struggling through each step of the way
Lord, help me take a quest of each task
As to your grace surrender myself with allay

I took life for granted in my earlier years
Thinking that everything will come easy
Now a widow longing for comfort
With your loving care I surrender all to thee

Fending for survival in an indifferent world
Thank you for this moment of talking to you
I find rest before your presence Oh God
Now feeling stronger to claim my due

Lost In A Feign Of Genius

Lost in a feign of genius
Wrapped in insanity long abused
Where would fate find me?
In this make-believe twisted reality

Long have I waited for a chance
With fame and greatness make romance
Will I be pulled to oblivion?
Before proclaiming a stake of my dominion?

I Want To Move On

Past is past and I want to move on
Bidding for success in a time of my own
I am the master of my destiny
With whatever luck that is thrown to me

My broken heart I will try to mend
While somebody is waiting at the bend
Who will come to my rescue so soon
Can I recognize you with the light from the moon?

If I Can Just Tap Your Potential

If I can just tap the potential of any man
I can be as fulfilled as I can
Weaving dreams of achievement
Where true happiness is meant

If I can cause a smile on any child
Then I can bring true happiness so mild
Filling in the gap for lost attention
Easing the feelings of wild commotion

No Patience For Romance

No thank you, I will find another beau
If it means crawling to you
Forgetting my pride all along
Or humming an out-of-tune song

No thank you no, patience waiting
For a romance that keeps on ringing
For a high price to pay
That goes dim along the way

No thank you, find a girl of your own
I would rather be alone
If you keep me waiting
And in the dark, without seeing
