To my friend, Jona

Structure: Ottava Rima

I am blessed to have a friend like you
a person who is very calm and nice
during struggles you know what to do
you're always here to wipe the tears in my eyes
when it's my mistake I got scolded too
and showed me that in life we should be wise
you're with me through the bliss of fantasy
and hugs me through sorrows of reality.



Happy memories with Jona, my best college friend :)






Sample: The Man in black and the Woman in Red

He crept through the alley, nary a creak
Sauntering through down the dark avenue
Cane twirling, hat riding a widow's peak
Slicked back hair with the mustache trimmed up too
A cheerful tune whistled from his thin beak
In his hands holds he a dangerous brew
Feather fingers tickle over the brim
Halogen hallucinations blind him.


To my friend, Carmela

Structure: Rhyme Royal


I thanked you for being a part of me
and always bidding advice that I want
together, there's no "you" or "me" but "we"
and taught me that pride is not important
with you, love talk is always dominant
though heart is still virgin with no lover
I'll promise to stay with you forever




Bonding moments with Carmela, one of my true friends :)







Sample: Opening stanza of Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde:

The double sorwe of Troilus to tellen,
That was the king Priamus sone of Troye,
In lovinge, how his aventures fellen
Fro wo to wele, and after out of Ioye,
My purpos is, er that I parte froye,
Thesiphone, thou help me for tendyte
Thise woful vers, that wepen as I wryt

A story once played


Once in a stirring summer day
He met the ardent damsel he wanted to marry
He asked her to be his girl
She uttered a mellow “yes”; then their story started to play

Once in the side of a creek
They shared sweet thoughts with each other
He hugs her with strange ecstasy
And gave her a sweet kiss on her cheeks

Once in a garden with some tulips
He asked her to marry him
She say “I do” and wear the ring
Then shared each other a kiss on their lips

Once in a dark room with no touch of bliss
They decided to do it now
Though they have not yet share a vow
And they did something more than kiss

Once in a scrap room without a floor
She got pregnant and lived with him
Her beauty can no longer be seen
And he never kisses her anymore

Once in his matted unplanned life
He started to beat her when he’s drunk
There’s no more sweetness in his heart
But a regret of having her as his wife

Once in a place that he can’t dub as home
He keeps battering the lady she adored before
Until she lies bloody on the floor
And say no words and just leave her alone

Once in a parish of St. Ives
He realized how much he love his wife
The lady he met during the summer day
And he asked Him ways in fixing their lives

Once in a scrap room where he decided to start their lives
The vague figure lies lifeless on the floor
With the blood flowing between her legs
And he started to cry cause the life was revoked from his child and wife

Once in a jail where he’s going to pay his debt
The cacophony of mem’ries was playing
 The history of slamming was fresh
And their love story had ceased to natural death

Once in a wretched summer day
He was all alone with the rancor of his deeds
His heart was full of pain and regrets
Cause their story can no longer play.

To someone who broke my heart




To someone who broke my heart


We shared thousands of memories
Something that I really miss
Everything now would never exist
Even the hugs and innocent kiss

Break-up was never an option for us
Being loyal was an easy task
But everything still ends so fast
Cause this relationship wasn't meant to last

It's exhausting to ween our forever
But desiring to love again is even harder
Yes I don't want to feel bitter
Cause living this life is something better

Dreams that we wanted to finish
Has all gone and vanished
Love and joy, I want to remember
But everything was replaced by anger

Forgiving wasn't so easy
Cause in the process you left me
Breaking someone's heart is hard to see
But it can be healed by a sincere sorry

The mistake wasn't only on your part
Cause I know I can't fulfill your heart
Though it's hard for us to be apart
We opt to go back from the start

Thank you for being a part of me
For all my mistakes, I’m really sorry
Reaching your dreams will make me happy
And I hope you'll find your next honey!

Why?

Things are hard to let go



Why is it so easy to be part of someone's story
but leaving them seems so uneasy?
Why knowing someone takes only days
but it take so long to keep the mem'ries away?
Why do we still have to be in someone's heart
if we're only meant to be apart?
Why do people have to make mem'ries together
and just hold on to this forever?
Why is it easier to watch the leaves decay
than someone walking away?
Why is it naive to fake a smile
than to control our tears when we're about to cry?
Why do time flies so fast when we're happy
but go so slow when we're lonely?
Why are we afraid to show our feelings for someone
and just realize it when they're gone?
Why do lovers often have a different world
which proves that forever is just a lonely word?

For my true friend

I cherish you for making me smile
and being a shoulder to cry
I discern you for keeping my secrets
and soothing all my regrets

I always lend my ears to you
you bid guidance when muddled what to do
when trap by an air of melancholy
you're always there to cuddle me

Holding my hand makes me feel well
"You're special", something I can't tell
I'm glad that you're my trusty friend
cause this relationship will have no end

Yes we don't have monthsarries
but I can share with you a lot of memories
I know I cannot kiss you too
but we will never fight as paramours do

It's He who leads us into this friendship
and not into a short-term love relationship
perhaps we don't have a romantic ending
but our friendship is everlasting.
