                           A White Rose

                    

    A white rose
    That blooms so beautifully
    For the girl I care about

    A white rose
    That smells so sweet
    For the girl I love

    People believe that roses should be red
    But I think differently.
    A white rose to represent pureness

    A white rose
    That represents pure love
    For the girl I would give everything for

    A white rose best describes you
    So pure, so beautiful, and so sweet
    You have qualities that are like from a fairy tale

    You are a white rose
    without thorns
    A rose that comforts the hearts of those around it

    A rose that never withers
    never falters
    and never seems frail

    It is so sad, though
    that the rose I love and adore so much
    is one that I cannot have

                       Loving You

    When you came into picture,
    you are the one that's for sure.
    The one who will love me so,
    anywhere and everywhere I go.

    You came into my life at the right time,
    just like the sound of a shimmering chime.
    Thoughts of you that makes me happy,
    gives me a lot of reason to be funny.

    With you,I have the reason to write,
    even when it is midnight.
    Love fills my heart because of you,
    a feeling that is given by you.

    Whenever I think of you,
    all I can say is 'I Love you'.
    The three words that's in my head,
    the three words that I've said.

    You are the reason behind my smiles,
    even though we're apart many miles.
    The one who makes me happy,
    the one who makes me jolly.

    I love the way you treat me,
    all I can say is 'You complete me'.
    Praying that you would stay,
    until the end so I say.

    --Lou Marielle Tan--

                           NEVER THOUGHT

For the past days of my life,
I fell inlove for a guy.
The feelings I had was different.
So different that I go crazy.

So crazy that I would hope and pray he'll like me too.
And everytime he smiles at me,
A song plays in my heart
That it can never turn off.

I thought the only word we got was FRIENDS.
And I never thought he'd confess.
One day he did,
And everyone saw the smile I've been waiting for.

                           Tears

    My life became full of misery,
    Since the day you left me
    I can't believe why,
    You had to say goodbye
    Now my heart cannot bear,
    The pain that you do not care

    But even though you left me that day,
    I still believe you'll be back anyway
    If only I can change what has been,
    And let you see what my love truly mean
    You wouldn't have to see the tears,
    That you've caused all these years


                   --Razel Martinez--

    Love


    Love is very mysterious.
    And perhaps, everyone is curious.
    But love can change your life.
    But sometimes, it can be a knife.
    It can stab you right away,
    and leave you in that way.
    It sometimes give inspiration in everything that you do.
    But it can also be the reason why you are in blue.
    Now, would you prefer to be inlove?
    Or be in peace like a dove?
    If I were to be asked,
    I would rather go back to my past.
    Think not once but twice.
    In the end, you know, that you had been wise.

                   "SORRY"

    I thought that you're the guy,
    So I gave it a try
    You have given your love to me,
    And hope that I'll be yours for eternity.

    I never thought that it would be me,
    To say the words I'm sorry
    You'll just have to remember,
    That there's someone better.

    I know I've hurt you,
    But what I feel is true
    I now love someone else,
    It's where my heart dwells.

    I did love you,
    But I found someone new
    I guess we're really not meant to be,
    So I ask you to please set me free...

    :                              YOU

    Why have I fallen for you?
    In fact, I still don't know you..
    This weird feeling I have for you,
    Makes me feel that I already know you.

    I really wish we were friends
    And hoping that all of this will never end,
    When will we really meet?
    'Coz I'm wonderin' if we're really meant.

    I love everything about you..
    Do you feel the same way too?
    Those cute pink things that you wear,
    It looks good on you that's why I care.

    Let me be the one to wipe those tears when you cry,
    Those sparkling eyes I dream of when you smile,
    I love the way you look at me,
    And I hope it should always be.

    Now I don't know how my poem will end,
    For all I know is YOU in my head,
    You make me smile when I whine,
    That's why you inspire me all the time! =)

                         A POEM

All alone in this cold room,
I feel nothing, but emptiness within me.
I feel indifferent, i feel naive.
Why this damn feeling?

Questions started to fill my head.
I am disturbed, and I can't lay down in bed.
Flashbacks, then, came rushing in.
I am annoyed, and I'm bothered by this instinct.

Why can't you just go away?
Make my heart not bleed today.
Whenever you're in and out of my sight,
You left me with something that I can't bare to fight!

I must admit that I still love you.
So please, just go, don't make me think of you.
But, if ever I ask you to stay,
Just don't leave and take my heart away.

If ever you'll get back again in my life,
I wish that everything between you and me will be all
right.
Past is past, so don't bring it back.
But promise me that you'll cherish the good times we
had.

I don't want to live in pride,
But 'sorry' isn't enough to heal the pain and to renew
this scar.
While God is there, He will be my guide.
And now, I will be able to sleep tonight.



--Shiena Rei B. Atilano--

    When will find you?

    I am walking on the road,
    A road full of sorrow.
    As I am journeying all alone,
    I try to find my way back home.
    I am lost, crying in the meadow.
    Wishing that someone could find me.
    I am waiting, I am waiting.
    But you've never come to save me.
    I am tired looking for you.
    Where are you my friends?
    Where are you?
    My heart is grieving for you absence.
    My heart stop hoping for your presence.
    That someday I could find you
    On the road where I first search you.
    On the road where I first dream of you.

    --Sheena Marie E. Panong--

    Out in the rain again

    Here I am again
    Out in the rain again
    Staring at the sky
    As if I want to cry.

    But I won't cry
    Because the sky
    Doesn't want to see
    That's why it cries for me.

    I know that they want me dead
    Don't try to cover up what they said
    But I won't cry because in the end
    The sky is my dearest friend.

    Through these wounds dealt on me
    And all the pain fate made me bleed
    I've never cried, not a single tear
    If I do the sky will never clear

    Though I know I'm not the only one
    I need to help bring out the sun
    So I can't cry, because if I do
    The sun will never come out for you.

    I seem to think I can go on
    Pretending that nothing is wrong
    Smiling with a fake grin
    Fighting a battle I can never win.

    I know you're suffering more than I,
    Having to watch your family die
    Knowing love and have it ripped away
    That's something I can never say.

    They took my dreams away from me
    So they can laugh and hear me scream
    They raped and beat my soul
    Leaving me forever cold.

    You have it worse, that I know
    But it's something that you'll never show
    I tried to help and guide you home
    But you always left me alone.

    I'm selfish, because I'm never sated
    I can deal with being forever hated
    Without the one who can understand
    It's like being murdered by his hand.

    My heart is lost as is my mind
    Both forgotten never to find
    One to know and one to feel
    All because of this cursed life
    And so I sit here trying to lie
    Because in the end I know I can't cry

Untitled by Mitch

Isn't it a nice feeling when somebody has come to love you?
A feeling that could change your world,
And can turn your sorrow to joy.
Loving could also be the greatest thing a person could ever do.
For in love, you�ll learn how to make sacrifices,
When the person you love is by your side,
All words of lust will burn to dust.
Love is a feeling that should not be taken for granted.
Otherwise, it would be the cause of eternal hatred.
Beauty lies beneath their eyes.
And in love, all things are real.
Nothing should be pretended.
For love is so sacred.

--Bryan Villavieja--

Loneliness

People are lonely
Because they build walls
Instead of bridges
To dissolve loneliness
We need friends

A friend who is always there
A friend who can inspire and encourage
Give us heart to grow
Help us think more positively
For us to live more graciously

In whose presence we can be our true selves
Without camouflage or pretense
We don't have to keep a front and make false lies
Instead a friend take can accept us
For who we are and what we are

                                   GONE

    My Heart he did deceived.
    I love him for so many years.
    I gave everything i could
    my heart..
    my life..
    and my soul.
    But when i found out that his with a girl.
    My heart aches so badly.
    How can he tell me so many lies that i believed in.
    I guess she's the one that makes him happy.
    But i can't just forget how he made me fall inlove with him.
    I can't deny it that he cause me so much pain.
    But just like him,
    I'll try to be fine.
    I'll be okay.
    I'll be just fine.
    It's his lost not mine.=[

    -Leah L. Aquino-

                    You are the thing

You are the thing that keeps me up at night
The thing that sings me to sleep
The thing that keeps me running through my mind

I wouldn't have it any other way
I woulnn't want another day
Then I think of how messed up this would be without you

I hope this message finds you well
As these endless thoughts drip from my soul
Every single word secretly paints a fairy tale of when we
will melt into one.

                            CRUSH

The formerly bare front has revived.
I have found the happiness in it.
I know the painful monotony of life has died.
You have come.

It was entirely different when I understood the
implying eyes, the shy movements, the deep sights,
the quivering mouth of yours that had wished to speak
but spoke not.

Everything has come alive again!
The music, the poems which found expression, the
beginning of rather quixotic approaches,
to see each other out of restlessness, unexplainable
gladness which fills the feeling in thought; the dream we
form and make, songs we found worth singing, the
meaningful serenades, the silly masquerades.

At the end, we find out, that behind the childish more
about,
there was a mutualness between us.

After the Rain

A glistening raindrop on the
tip of the leaf
Undecided whether to remain
or to leap.
The trees stretching out
their limbs.
For the heat of the sun to dry
their leaves.
The soggy flowers that almost
drowned.
Are now smiling up to the sun.
And though the rains obscure
the sights
After it has gone, the aftermath
is a delight.

--Janelle P. Atilano--

Untitled Feelings

I did not mean to hurt a guy who loves me so much
I did not mean to give the pain he's feeling right now
For me, he is just a close friend whom I can have
But for him I was the girl who makes his world go round

At first it was just a friendly cost he wants from me
A guy I can call when I needed somebody
But now he says he's feeling love
His friend told him to let me know for now

I cannot give the love he was hopin' from me,
They always say that he was the perfect guy to be
But what would he feel if he knows I love somebody?
This somebody who he knew as his best friend and not him

All I thought there's no such thing as love triangle as I see in the movies
But now it happened, now I know the pain of being hurt
No fight of friends is hurtful
But love for real is buried in the heart and the pain for it is ungrateful

I waited for love to come and hope Cupid would hit me for that
But I did not want this kind of love
No really, I hate this one
You love me, I love him, and he loves me back

I'm sorry all I can see in you is a friend
And not the guy whom I'll love above the rest
Don't make me love you for you cannot do
Don't give a tension for you cannot force me too

If there's one thing that God would give me
I'd wish for you a duplicated me
You said you will love me at the end and you cannot find another me
Even if it's impossible, I'd pray for that for you became a part of me as a friend

I hope someday I'll hear them say
He has moved on, wipe your tears now, it's not yet too late
Just promise me one thing, even if I'd cost you pain
You would still have me in your heart as your friend again
