HAVE YOU SEEN HER?

As I was walking down the street

I heard a whispering sound

It was feeble that I could barely understand

I felt by instinct that it whispers to me

That she is around nearby

I horridly looked back

Hoping I will catch sight of her at a glance

But did not because it was just a mere imagination

I behold her face everyplace

She is always in my mind and my dreams

But where could she be?

Because I need her so close clenching me tightly

That I can feel the warmth of her bosom

A sensation that will remain in my memory for years

Her smile is gentle as the sea when it is dawn

As I am entrapped in my thoughts

I woke up but realized I was caught up in an eclipse

Would I behold her that I have dreamt this much of

Because it hurts so much

I imagined how delighted it would be

If only I can catch a glimpse of her 

And feel the warmth of her body

Kiss her pretty lips to assert 

How much I would love to be with her

My wounded heart has not to be healed

I have been having nightmares

And am afraid I might drench in this misery

If I do not find her soon, I will not be sane

I do not care how much it may cost me

I beget to find her so badly, to seize me

From this misery and put back life in me

And render my world a reality

MY CONFESSION

Every day I Blame Myself
I Have Someone As Precious As You
A Diamond I Cannot Trade
But It Seems I Don't Care Much
Am Sorry It’s Not That I Didn't Care About You
I Have Wanted To Call A Million Times
To Apologize For Not Keeping My Love Right With You
Sometimes I Stood Alone
I Picture How Beautiful The World Is
But Despise It Because You Are Not Here With Me
You Are Right If You Hate Me
I Can't Imagine Myself Forgiven You
Had You Treated Me This Same Way
But My Heart Tells Me You Still Love Me
And I Believe You Do

You Have Taken A Piece Of Me
So Precious That If I Lose It
My Life Will Never Be The Same Again
Please I Am Guilty Of All Charges
Find Somewhere In Your Heart
And Consider My Appeal
I Still Want To Be Part Of Your Life
To Share In Your Pain, Sorrow And Joy
To Be Beside You
To Hold You When You Fall
My Life Will Be Incomplete
If One Day I Wake Up
And Don't Find You By My Side
I Love You More Than You Think I Do

STATE OF MY HEART

I have always thought about this thing call love

Search did I do an in vein did I search

Until the very last moment when I eventually find it

But the big problem I have now

Is how do I win this love?

Every possible thing known to me

Have I done but to no avail

Patience have I exercised but

It seems the patient dog eats no bone at all

My heart is sad and broken

My nights have been full of nightmares

Because I feel that stagnation may lead

Eventually to gradual withdrawal

But I don’t want to lose this love

That has cost me so much to find?

Of cause not, God forbid

I have been told that putting all ones heart on a woman is wrong and foolish by friends

But I have made up my mind that if loving you is wrong

Then I don’t want to be right

But please sweetheart I don’t know

If I can withstand them and hold on too long

Because my heart is frustrated and weak

I have lost so much for your sake

My sleeping appetite and zest for activity have I lost

I love you and always will

But please don’t let me wait any longer

Because I might not be able

To withstand it any more
