Deep inside in my heart
I may no longer be perfect in your eyes,
but deep inside in my heart
you may feel the gentle touch
that I could make you feel proud.
You may not hear the things that I've said about you,
but deep inside in my heart, I still love you
even though you have the one who completes
your broken heart.
You might have thought that I don't care
about you.
But deep inside in my heart
You occupied the biggest part of my life

"The Choice"
We do have a lot of choices
Whether he wins or loses.
Indignantly, he caress what he gambles
But still inside him something mumbles.
Foolishly, you await for a trial
But still you have the denial.
Of all those improvisations,
There are still illicit conjugations.
You are still acquainted to your own demise,
Still, there's something to synthesize.
A voice would call out hastily
You are then sitting there mindfully.
Telling you what you've been doing,
Persuasively, you are reminiscing.
Thinking about how blinded you are
And how foolish you are.
Reminiscing different context and sectors,
Conjugate every bit of vectors.
Even the smallest bit you can never forget
Those mistakes are then your target.
Those times you've been seduced
And those times you've been induced.
The times you've been fooled
And the times you've been ruled.
You still have it in firm hand
Never ever lose it no matter where you stand.
You have your conscience!!
And with strong faith it washes.
Shouldn't you abuse it
Shouldn't you trample it
For you will not feel at grief
And into darkness you'll not be conceived..

"THE STARS"
The stars are blooming at night
so many stars above
are scattered everywhere
like fireflies in the dark
they flicker here and there
from somewhere in the east
a shooting stars goes by
its faster,faster than
the winking of an eye
though millions crowd the night
each has a wondrous beam
that brings to one the joys,peace
and pleasure of a dream

'A Glimpse of You'
You're just so near, yet so far
I couldn't even tell where you really are
Can't hear any voice, nor any sound
I'm all shattered and lonely when you're not around.
All I ever know is that I have loved you from the very start
But now, all I get is a wrecked and broken heart
Now that you're gone, my misery has begun
Just wish that all of these hurts were already gone.
I kept waiting for you to come back to me
I searched the highest mountains and the lowest valleys
I longed for your arms, waited for you endlessly
I still just hoped that you were here with me.
The things I thought were hurting all in my mind
I felt so weak; I knew it's only you I need to find
Everything else was burning and ruining all of me
Please tell me, it's you I got to see.
As I looked out of the vague window pane,
All I could see was very bright light
I saw a vision of you, standing there with an angelic smile
All of a sudden, you vanished in sight
Then, came waning all of my pain
'Cause I caught a glimpse of you even just for a while.

The Epitome of Long-lost Wishes
As I summon up the courage to pursue
A song of tragedy, of much remorse and sorrow;
I declare this the epitome of you,
Of gifts of statues not from tomorrow;
I had sought for words portraying names
Of grievances from letters declined;
Carved on wood, danced by flames
To cry over the ashes, I had not inclined;
If such were masked until the death of Isis,
Would your discernment of my affection occur?
Long tender gazes from starry irises,
Illusions akin to Don Giovanni's overture.
Should summer mourn for spring lost,
Dare not defy fate, uphold the cost.
