SONNET That no one can ever break me nor my dreams
I am strong like a steel
l I am fear conqueror
I am confidently grateful
Sing Me a Song Thus, I shall defeat all torns like a shield
Sing me a song to get me off this ledge
So I wont have to know what heavens like For I will not face my back
Because any heaven; hell without you
When it came, I accept it
Sing me a song, sing me so I wont cry.
That dream goes beyond torns
Tears only show all the pain in my heart
I need a jump start so sing me a song
'Coz my dreams matter rather than rattle
A song the will take all my breath away I will never get tired of running as runner
A song that will lead me to a new day.
Being strengthened by many downs
Sing me a song to help me all along Smiling through pain like a clown
Just to keep me strong so I cannot fall
Fall from so high that could be lead to die Born to be Strong
Sing me so I have nothing to worry.
How painful silence is in this moment,
Free verse
Sing me a song so I can live without fear.

Rhymed poem No matter how far or near
with measure
But we can persevere
This separation will bring sorrow dramatically
For now, we are apart physically
After THREE
is a world without me
Everything happens after three
No need to return a world without her
I hope that youre thinking of me
for me to see
As my minds begin to wander
The ground too far away
I cannot help but to ponder.
Pushed out too far
If you will let to look my way, Lost in the stars
These are all just words I can say Has sent me space beyond
To give me hope and help me cope. The girl I found
And youve never stop hurting me Lost in the Eye of Love
Dont you see its all after three
without measure
After all I wish you wanted me.

Pretend and Still Pretending And directs your gaze.
Perspective controls your mind,
The night shall be saving grace to many
I pretended I hear not when Im listening all along,
Spoken to, or of.
Pretended the world is in mute when you sing me a song, Whether seen, or not.
Pretended Im fine when youre still hurting; Shall always be bathed in light.
Hence, one who is bathed in darkness;
And made you believe everything when Im pretending.
Breaking through the eclipse that is night.
The stars shine down,
I pretend I care not while wondering if youre okay, I wander if youre looking at the same time.
Pretended Im done explaining while still having much to say,
As I look upon the night sky,
But its eclipsed in the darkness.
Pretended Im unaffected while feeling this guilt inside, I stand in a world of light;
And tired not to let you notice while deep inside, these
feelings reside. Keep Who You Are

I wish that in our next life, our love will

Lets say, Well end up like the indeed;

Well get through this and fulfill our dreams,
just like how your teardrops go. Because We all know how it feels always;
I know everything will go smoothly
when I will hear the voice of Sleepless nights, stressful days,
my heart and soul.

Stand with a Real Man
And thats for sure.
Well, all I can say is I want to know her more,
Any man can take you out, wine and dine you
Shes unware of what I feel
While they feed you lines and empty promises
A reason why things have gone this fast
It takes a real man to make you want to be a better woman
To build with you, to keep a smile on your face.
And up to now Ive been trying to find a reason.
Shes got something I cant even figure out
Show you loyalty and respect even if youre not around
She makes me laugh whenever Im puzzled
To see beauty in your mood swings and complexity in your
She makes me smile, she makes me giggle

To remember all the things that matter to you, like your
I am captivated with all her awkward smiles.
dreams and all you aspire to be.
I am caught by the way she strums her guitar
She came by and everything became cheery
To be honest and open with you,
I wasnt even ready
hold you down when everything feels like its crumbling
around you.

Chasing Dreams
Never want to end.
Youre right it might not work out,
A moment youd
Most things dont.
Alive, in love,
But it doesnt mean you shouldnt try
Because if it does, your entire world can change.
Whisper their ancient songs
Listening to the trees
The biggest achievement in your life is to fulfill your
dreams
Laying under the stars
Escaping it will lead you in a wrong path
Buried in blankets
You must grab an opportunity that come
There we were
Because the heavens smile upon those who chase
their dreams. Treasure Moments
