I FOUND LOVE IN YOU

For a reason I am content

I wore a smile so deep within

This is strange; I haven't felt like this since kindergarten

I have not been able to find the right words to tell you how I feel

Though I might have told you a million times about my will

Text you a billion times more to express the depth of my love for you

Write you a novel; compose a poem dedicated to you

Still I will be missing a word that describes my emotions towards you

You are like a flower that blossoms season to season

Before we met I didn't believe in love, for I didn't have a reason

But since I met you, don't have those thoughts anymore

Because I have found love in you

POETRY IS LIKE MUSIC

Poetry is like music, it influence the inner thoughts of a man

It's the unsung words written in the heart of every man

There is a voice unseen which speaks to you and me

The same way the atmosphere submerged the body and mind

It flows in the vein and run through the brain

It sees through the heart, but the eyes sees only when it rain

If you listen, you'll find out the heart talks to you every second

Sometimes it whisper to your ears to ascertain you have heard

Just like music poetry is the feelings lock inside

It's the heart trying to tell the world that everything will be fine

Poetry is the heart wanting to share what she sees through you

She sees the fear and hate the world is going through

She sees the love and joy of a man and a woman in full

She understand the emotions of a mother to a son

She is nub because you never took time to listen but let her trust run

You are occupied with the burden of a world you can't influence

You never talk to her about the break ups, disappointments and pains 

She has always been with you, for she understand what you are going through

She wants you to trust her so she can also trust you

You've got to listen to the voice of the night and the silence of the sea

Listen to the wind, you will find there is a voice hidden inside you and me

For poetry is an unspoken word that wants to be free

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

You are beautiful, that I know is true
God was cautious and mindful when He created you
He gave you a hug and blessed you with His love
He gave you a piece of His beauty and calmness of a dove
As bright as the stars are it can't be compare to your smile
As far as the sky is to man, so do your glory fly
Your smile is as beautiful as the morning dew
It got that softness the heart can't resist of being subdue
Your lips are divine, it caress the body, mind and soul
Your eyes has a foresight of confidence and trust
For if life is aged, your tenderness will not be lost
When we met I knew my heart will no longer fall or be broken
The eyes foreseen your beauty and my heart completely taken
The lamp in my heart will forever burn for you
You are beautiful like an angel that I was knew
