PORTRAIT OF AGONY


In the face of agony
Care is unseen but sin
Last night in the road through melancholy
I saw a mother make rain, the waters of her eyes
In circles of waves, hate replicated 

Drifting love afar, next to obscurity
Lust and selfishness paved
The world ignores a child's innocence
Blood seizes to be bond

A rift in between
Like a gap tooth
Unity is just a fallacy
Hearts are eaten in lies and deceit

Poisoned to war with canal promises
Where lies the conscience?
Yet each day we blow the trumpet of change
How can man live in gain if his heart is condemned?

It's time we start asking the right questions
If the world is meant to be destroyed and deserted
Why did God create the universe?

It cost nothing to do what's right
All it takes is but a little sacrifice
Love one another, to a brother, lend a hand
To wade off agony from the earth surface

MON AMOUR (MY LOVE)

A poem for Airio Portia, dedicated to her husband.



Forever, I will hold you close to my arms 
So time never lapse between us 
Like an angel, you fell into my world from the sky 
Heaven knew I needed a miracle to fly 

You broke my heart the day you proposed to me 
How can an angel love me so blindly 
Accept my imperfection and brings out the best in me 
Came into my dream and rescued me 

It's like counting the stars 
My love for you is endless 
The feelings I have for you can't be drenched 
Nor quenched is the fire burning in my heart 

My love, you are my most priced possession
On the altar last night I made a confession 
To spend every breath with you 
You're the reason my world is beautiful 

I see the tenderness in your eyes 
That true love don't lie 
Every night I died in your arms 
And wake up the morning in Paradise
