What was once LOVELY

It was lovely,
a picture of peace and beauty.

I remember dropping by
as frequent as
 I could, before.


In the hopes that one day I can own the place.

In a wish that one day I will be recognized.

In a prayer that dreams do come true.

Slowly, the flowers bloom, the leaves grow and the petals multiply by the dozen, and in various colors.

But while it appears beautiful and serene, sometimes the emptiness sink in.

That no matter how much you love, and how you want to share the feeling, there is no greater loneliness than being alone and empty.

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE

In the midst of chaos, grief, loss or struggle
to achieve what we hope in life.

Sometimes, we lose track, in our desire to achieve that golden chance in this lifetime.

More often than not, we even accidentally lose our self, values, love and even the person we think we are.

There are some who are fortunate to realize this early in life. And for those aware, we reassess and evaluate our priorities, as well as the direction we want to face.

There are also those who failed to recognize the indications, or simply ignore the signs thinking the reason for their struggle is more important.

No wonder there are people nowadays who keep on sharing and adding friends to their social media account, precisely because they want to feel connected, when actually they are not.#

Goodnight

In the quietness of the night
 and the stillness of the moment
I turn and look at you.

Always calm, 
sober and lovely as your eyes are close, one arm wrapped around me.

I love the scent of your hair, the heat of your body and sometimes your lips would touch mine.

While the moment is serene and I  love to enjoy the moment, I can't help but close my eyes too.

To embrace this opportunity that life has given me, to sleep beside you and hopefuly to open again in due time to welcome a brand new day.
