Until Whatever Happens

'Till my body turns to dust
'Till my eyes can see you no more
'Till the sun turns to grey
'Till the moon shines no more

'Till the crow turns white
'Till words can hurt no more
'Till the clock stops to tick
'Till I can no more speak

And 'till I run out of reasons
I will love you
I'll spill my heart for you
'Till the day I die

                          I Love You

    "I Love you with all my heart..."
    A perfect introduction in a form of art.
    From the time you came into my life,
    I knew you are one of a kind.

    I Love the way you look at me,
    your kiss that touches my very lips.
    In the night with the stars above, I remember your face,
    alone in the dark thinking of you and your sweet embrace.

    I Love the way you hold my hand,
    so sweet and gentle i always feel so glad.
    I thought choosing you was a big mistake,
    but to accept you and your love was like a cherry on top of a cake.

    I was never wrong of loving such like you,
    you who always makes my sky so blue.
    The one who makes me smile everyday,
    who never leaves me alone and willing to stay.

    I would never let go of you and your love,
    my dear I would die if I lose my only one.
    We will face these trials and we'll make it through,
    and for this all I can say is "I Love you, I Love you, I Love you..."


You're the inspiration

I always think of you
in my sleep, and in my dreams
I always think of you
all day, all night,
Hoping that you're alright.

I always think of you
wishing that you're thinking of me too
Every minute, every second of the
day
I think of you in every special way

I always think of you
I really do
all because I love YOu

How will I forget you?

The first time I saw you
I know that i like you
later on, I found out
that i'm in love with you

Sorry for not telling you earlier
for someone's blocking my way
and i'm afraid you'll stay away from me
For i know i can't accept it
if that will happen to me

i tried to keep it in myself
for your close to me
but you're always on my mind
even in my dreams, you're still there
I can't keep my tears for coming out.

    Don't ask me

    Don't ask me if I miss you,
    you know the answer, it's true.
    Don't ask me if I need you,
    you know I really do.

    Don't ask me if I think of you,
    eachtime,eachday, I do.
    Don't ask me if I want to be with you,
    you know I will be glad to.

    Don't ask me if I'm fine,
    I will never be if you're not mine.
    Don't ask me if I love you,
    ask yourself if you love me too.

    A Thousand Thanks

    I am thankful for my family
    who guides me every hour;
    I am thankful for my friends
    They are the best.

    I am thankful for who I am
    That I can be a blessing;
    I am thankful that God helps me

    In times of suffering and pain

    I'm so thankful for so many
    things
    I am so thankful for all the
    blessings
    That every day for me
    Is a blessed day.

    Rushing Back

    You came rushing back to me
    in my dreams last night.
    It�s been a while since I've
    felt your touch-
    heard your voice--
    saw your smile

    You came rushing back to me
    in my dreams last night
    I thought it was real
    I thought it was you
    holding onto me so tight

    You came rushing back to me
    in my dreams last night
    Please don't wake me
    I�m finally alive again
    I need you-- don't go
    you feel so real
    you feel so right
    oh baby it's got to be true
    cause in my dreams
    I�m rushing back to you

    Please don't wake me

    In my dreams I am alive again.
    I feel your touch
    I hear your voice
    I taste your smile
    It�s seems so right
    It feels so real
    It's good to be true
    because in my dreams
    I rushing back to you.

    Someone

    Someone you can talk to
    Someone you can trust
    Someone you laugh with
    Someone you even cry with.

    When all else fail
    She'll be there for you
    She'll be with you
    No matter what you'll do.

    She'll never leave you
    She always cares
    She's always there
    when you feel life's not fair.

    Someone you love.
    Someone you care for.
    Someone you'll never forget.
    Even the day you first met.

My Feelings

When we become friends
I'm hoping that it will never end
I started to have feelings in you
and love open's a way through
your the most perfect woman in the
world
that cannot compare only by words

I want to be with you
stop the clock and stay together
your my inspiration
your my everything
your my treasure
that cannot be measured

I Love You

"As endless as forever,
our love will stay together..."
A promise that kept me hunting,
your love and touch that I'm thinking.


I Love you from the day I met you,
I was never wrong of choosing you.
Keeping you gives happiness in my heart,
but loosing you is the most challenging part.


I Love you, and the way you look at me,
those gloomy eyes that never leaves me.
That eyes I can never forget,
my heart gives a sign of heart to get.


I Love you, and your warm embrace,
your hands that touches my very face.
Your touch that always hunts me,
telling me that you will never leave me.


I Love you, and your tender kiss,
your lips that touches my very lips.
Your voice that enters in my ears,
"I Love you.."and that's all i can hear.


I Love you, and that's all I can say.
I wish our love will always stay,
faithful and loyal with each other,
and standing strong together.


This vow I would say is for the two of us,
I Love you till my final time pass,
I will keep your heart and you will keep mine,
lets keep fighting for we will be free in time.


I Love you, that's all I can say,
in Sickness and in health, we'll stay.
Our love will stay in our hearts,
forever 'till death do us part!

    Wasted Inside

    Bottle up inside
    Are the words I never said,
    The feelings that I hide,
    The lines you never read.

    You can see it in my eyes,
    Read it on my face:
    Trapped inside are lies
    Of the past I can't replace.

    Yesterdays are over,
    Even though the hurting's not.
    Nothing lasts forever,
    I must cherish what I've got.

    The hurt I'm feeling now
    Won't disappear overnight,
    But someway, somehow,
    Everything will turn out all right,

    Don't take my love for granted,
    For soon it will be gone -
    All you ever wanted
    Of the love you thought you'd won.

I do not even know myself anymore

I do not know what to do.
I do not know where to start.
I do not know myself anymore.
Why did I let it get this far?
Why was I so scared of loosing you?

I do not know where you went or where you had to go.
Tell me, did you leave me because you hated me because I really
do not know.
Tell me that you've cried so hard you couldn't see.
Tell me that this is hurting you as it hurts me.
Tell me everything.

Explain to me why you left me all hangin.
Explain to me why you treated me this way.
Explain to me the feeling cause I do not even feel it.
Help me make sense of all the reasons you gave me.
Come back and explain everything.

I wish I could turn back time and pretend this is all a fake.
And everything I always knew, everything you'd always be.
And when you told me its better this way, i tried to hide the pain.
I wish this were all a fake.
And I wish you always knew.

I hope I could bring back time


We were best friends for so long
But we just let things change
It was a great time spent
But now things have become strange

Friends are supposed to stick together
A bond that's not supposed to break
But me and you went against the code
And it was something neither of us could take

Forget all the time we were best friends
Almost sisters for a while there
We liked having matching clothes
And loved having matching hair

I miss you and it's killing me
But let's just let this go
I guess it wasn't meant to be
I guess you never know

CUTS

Silence my soul in black and white
I will die while she walks touards the light
So forget I ever said "life"
What did I misplace? Where's my knife?

Bleed these colors open wide
Especialy black tasted blood beside
Let go so drown in your fake personality
While my wrist suffers with brutalilty

I know that blood still stains and I won't be the
same
For now I know all that I've learned has faded
away
But when the tears will run down your face
You will not find me, there will be no trace

Which part of me is lost?
I feel so warm and yet I am so cold
I'll breath the pain to the last breath
Because I find less beauty in life than death...

Alluring Miracle


All of the treasures man could take hold
could never even remotely compare...
to such charisma exceedingly bold
and to such beauty so piercingly fair.

None in the races of all of humanity
Did I ever catch a glimpse and see
One of such grace, and one of such
radiance..
and One of such charm such as thee

Your elegance and your splendor
Put the most beautiful flower to shame
People are relentlessly paralyzed
By a mere silent whisper of your name.

Godsave: Prologue


Gaia, a world created without impurity...

A world created pure, without any corruption...

It was good...

No.

It was perfect.

However, like all that is created, it must one day fall...

It's creator would not let it be so...

As the first vestiges of life came to be, the forces of chaos that rule over all began to set in
motion. Gaia's purity did not last long.

The creator promised a prophet to show that he loved the world. and after the prophet has
passed, the world was still again. But that too, was not meant to be. The world was once again
in chaos. Humans were in constant strife against each other. Man would struggle against man
for pointless dominance over each other. Great guilds would be torn by inevitable dissensions
and families would struggle under the heavy weight of madness.

Gaia was once again at the brink of destruction. But the creator would not let it be.

He sent another bringer of peace. During the first schism he sent a prophet to show the world
that he loved it. Now, he sends something else. A blade. Godsave, to prove that he still loves
the world.

Ironic that the tool that began the chaos, would be the very same tool that ends it.

But chaos is not easily extinguished...

***SOOTHING AS NIGHT WINDS ARE***


Love is gentle, love is quiet
Like any distant star;
Love is beauty, love is music
Soothing as night winds are.


Love is patient and unselfish,
Divine, true, neutral, fair
Love is ageless and immortal,
Lost love is just somewhere.


And the heart that love abandons,
Nurses a tender scar;
Softly stabbing, and yet sweetly
Soothing as night winds are.

My Life

My life is not a flower
that blooms in season.
but died in years,I have
thought it on my mind.How
to portrait it,as much as I
could no matter,how bad as
evil as we.


Years and years by,we can't
live without our life. We
must be happy as now and the
time has come,God will sent us
to heaven. We are not living
in this world anymore...

This feeling called Love

I though that I would not succumb
I said that this feeling is dumb
I felt pity to those who felt its wrath
I swore to never cross its path

But Love waits
To make one follow the bait
Sadly I must declaim
Indeed I am claimed

When I saw her
I thought, such exquisite hair!
As I gazed at her eyes
I saw the destruction of my lies

She told me her name
And we started a silly game
As I told her my identity
I felt an odd sense of serenity

She enjoyed our time together
Indeed, I was happy rather
She said I like you
I replied, Me too

As I receive her gaze
I couldn�t help but be dazed
She was of amazing beauty
Only matched by her piety

I asked for her email address
Of course, she said yes
As I scribbled it down
I told myself I could take her out

And therefore I end
To her a message I send
As I look at your hazel pools,
I feel that I am a fool

Love?

We give so many meanings to it.
We say love is blind.
But we can feel it.
We say love is is pain.
But it heals us.
Others think that
love is nothing.
but in the end, they
do feel something.
people do really fall in love.
they just deny it.
they don't want to get hurt.
but what they don't know is that
Love is a kind of experience that
is hard but can be worthwhile.
A kind of lie that can be true.
and a kind of feeling that is bound for you.

"Good morning everyone!", said the teacher.
"Good morning sir!", they greeted together.
Their hearts are parallel to one another
and are they meant for each other?

Let us make this talk serious
and discuss the theorems previos
but let our brains be in a rest
for they will be used in a difficult test

Struggles will pass 90 degrees north of west
and we can taste the sweetness of sucess.

Some One Who Cares


I'm standing here in front of you
To wipe your tears and to sit beside you
But sometimes I'm like an ant you always ignore
That's why now I'm writing poems beside the seashore


You are the person who inspires me
You are the one who use to surprise me
You are the one who completes my day
That's why I'm always happy every day


I'm always here to make you happy
That's why I kept on praying for you every day
You mean so much to me
I hope you'll be safe everyday


I will end my poem in a simple way
To let you see that I lead you to the good way
I just want to say
That I love you everyday

FRIENDSHIP


You can show affection,
happiness, joy
and all about friendship.Even
though they this disagree
but they will be always respectful
to you.
They are our Friends and thus
they make our sadness
end..

--liza93@yahoo.com--

FRIENDSHIP

Friends are for loving,
Respecting and caring.
They are special people,
That teaches us to be caring and amiable.

They comfort you when you are sad,
But don't be silly and mad.
You and your friends spend time for fun.
They will always be around longer than forever.

Your friends cheer you up when your down.
They will always be around to face your
challenges in life too.
We may have ups and downs
They will be there to celebrate with our triumph,
sympathies our downfall.

Bridge

Do you notice the bridge that is between us?
We stand on opposite sides,
It covers such a small distance
It's as simple as just a few strides

You call to me, inviting me to come along
To abide, i would but something tells me it's wrong
I ask myself if you'd welcome me in delight
The thought's ecstatic but it bewilders me with fright

From azure to grey, the sky begins to weep
Your look turns cold and your brows furrow deep
I stood dumbfounded, lost in your glare
If I were to run to you, would you still be there?

Your back is all that faces me
Your angelic face and bright smile disappeared so
frigidly
I want to hurry towards you
But honestly, do you really want me to?

I ponder on why I'm making this choice
Thus, my ears ring with my own whispering voice
"I'd cross this bridge for you with much glee.,
just promise to accept me as i am willingly."

A clap of thunder abruptly worsens my fear,
The question lies on you now, Dear
Do you dare to cross this bridge and I to hold you
tight?
Or do you wish to destroy it and I to forever be out
of your sight?

Stillness Beneath

Below the quietness of the shore
Laying safe and sound
Tears flowing through
The shadows of my death

The tranquility of the wind
That delivers me astray
The serenity that passes beneath the ground
Revives me deeply

Stillness beneath my mind
Making me fall all night
Thinking of the great memories we had
Soaring throughout the time

Yet dispel the uneasiness of mind
The conscience that interferes your soul
So soon as now
It comes

Stillness beneath my soul
Pressed against to move forward and resist
One who aims calmness in the midst of the darkness
One who can fathom the great distress of man...

Stillness beneath my heart
That's what I long for...

    Fake smiles, liar hearts

    I see people run by me,
    pass through me with smiles on their
    faces.
People laughing,
people enjoying their every minite on this world.
Some people say "time is gold",
but i say time is precious because every minite,
every second and every hour i want to make
that moment spent worth while.

Some people are hiding behind their smiles,
but deep down i can hear their voice
screaming.
I can see through their eyes how sad they are,
how the pain goes through their heart of loving
a person who cant love them back.
People cant escape the fact that reality hurts
but that's how reality is.
So cruel, so tough and yet gives you a
heartache.

Dont live life in regrets.
Every persons lives has their weaknesses and
strenghts.
Wait for the right time,
and dont be desperate in what things may
come.
Live life as you will and wait for the right
person to come.

Definition of Love

Love hurts a lot;
Love cannot be controlled;
Love stops time;
Love can be sorrowful;

When I look at him, I feel that my dreams
will come true;
I love him more than anything in this
world;
I spare my time to see his face;
But it was hopeless waiting for his words;

I saw him with a girl;
Laughing and Laughing;
My heart want to stop beating;
Crying for what I've seen;
Jealousy tore my heart away from love.

Hoping

For so long I was wondering,
If someone would come and wipe my tears
away,
For so long I was searching,
If someone would come and keep me smiling
and gay.

I am always left behind by others,
Being unnoticed and treated as nobody.
I am always alone and lonely,
Being forgotten and dumped by everybody.

I was hoping that someone would come and
comfort me,
Staying beside me and never leave me for any
cost,
I was always hoping that someone would
understand,
That I can also be worthy and should be
treasured the most.

But I guess it's not right to live in my illusion,
Terminating all my fears is the best solution,
Leaving all those foolish imagination,
And take life with a slower rate of motion.

From Diana to Apollo

It
's freezing.
Eternal darkness envelops.
A prized one is shivering in the night.

Like Christmas lights,
Stars abundantly shine
And push the moon aside.

Poor is Selene
's treasure.
No one wants to hold or to take a look
-more than that half from which she stood.

Alone, the moon tries to reflect,
But no explanation makes sense.
No cure is for her misery.

But before suicides may happen,
Take a look at her
With shadows and craters all over

Will thy sun be burning alive?
And allow flaming meteors
Hit her once more,

Or will thy sun die?
Ready to resurrect to the other side
And be like black holes

With each of them pulling that poor thing,
Stretching her beyond her extent
Then ready to swallow her whole

Sun, do not die nor be alive
Be frozen, like the moon.
Accompany her in the end.

Negative

Kindness can be abused;
Believing can be lie;
Sorrow that I felt, wishing that I'm dead;
Loving can be wasting time;


In this world, life and death awaits;
Problems and conflicts cannot be solve
easily;
Our time is counted, our lives;
Something in this world that I could never
understand;

Time to let you go

I was such a fool for you
To be so stupid of loving you
For all the times you
've hurt me much
I never expected that this feeling is too
much

Those tears I
've cried every night
But still it
's you I want to hold tight
For all the pain that I received you don
't
Even know
But still I refuse to let you go

And then I started to think deeply
Facing a reality to set you free
To wipe my tears completely
For the scars you have given me

Now is the time to say goodbye
Because I don
't want to hear more lies
But I cannot deny that I love you so
It
's just that it's time to let you go

MI AMOUR

I never knew that love was true till i found you
You taught me many things in my life
You made me feel like a star that is shining so bright.
Your love completes my existence

I need to see you before the day ends
All i want is you
You're the reason why I'm still alive
Being with you, makes me feel alright

Having you, completes my day and night
Sharing happy and sometimes sad moments together
There is nothing that could take us away from each
other.

I hope you'll stay and never go away
Love me more deeply and care fore me truly
Don't leave me alone and treat me like you own
Because you, The Love of my Life.

Promise me, you'll never leave my side
Because i don't wanna wake up one morning..
without you in my life.

Free Love

Just I thought that you were mine
I just woke up and realized I committed a crime
Stealing ones heart, and keeping you here.
Here inside my life and having you near,
But let this crime be a sin forever.
For you, i don't want to be lost, oh never
But time and destiny is cruel to me.


You left me behind, and left my love free.
Now I know you were right
This love was never meant to be in sight.
For all those wrong, the most wrong is to fight
Fight for this love and never seek for life.
Now you'll be free
And I will love myself more than I love thee.

Best friend


Did you ever knew that I miss you?
Maybe not 'coz you did not even care.
Did you ever knew that I love you?
Maybe not ' coz you loved somebody else.


Maybe it's wrong to tell you
How much I care for you and love you
But still if I'll keep on hiding this inside
My pain will never subside.


It hurts when you see him with somebody else,
But you're uncomfortable when he is with you.
It hurts when he says he loves somebody else,
But you're uncomfortable when he shows he loves you.


It hurts when neglect you,
But you're shy when all his attention goes to you.
It hurts when he can't even talk to you,
But you can't even talk to him straight in the eye.


Why on earth is he the one,
Your best friend is the one you truly love.
And he loves you back at the wrong time,
When he already hurt you feelings that deep.
