1. My Lasting Vow

I cannot imagine tomorrow

Not unless you let me follow

I don't wanna live in sorrow

Without you I will be hollow

Trap me within your glow

And love shall forever flow

Take us to the lover's meadow

And the flowers be our pillow

Stay so I will not wallow

Dream with me 'neath the rainbow

Seeds of love together we will sow

Field of affection I shall plow

A life time is so short, I know

Mortal's life so slim and narrow

But a grain of life I shall borrow

Let this poem be my final throw

2. Flowers Bloom

Come to me my beloved

With lover's smile

In my arms I will hold

We'll walk a mile

Let rain be our witness

Wind be our music

Memories we will cherish

Birds we will mimic

Dreams we will weave

Beneath the trees

As lovers we both plead

Forever we'll kiss

Soon the sun will shine

Clouds will shy away

The promises shall remain

Even if the birds fly

The coming of a clear sky

Always is certain

Even on a stormy day

The flowers bloom

3. My Love ( Promise of Forever )

Thy heaven, thy earth

To Promise I shall not

Thou shall not be in doubt

For I'll keep you in my heart

Forever I will keep thee

Even everything else flee

Thee must not be sad nor worry

My heart will bring much glee

Mists in thy eyes be gone

My heart forever be thy throne

Afraid be not thee will never be alone

My love will be thy cocoon

Smile and laugh thee I beseech

I wish thee in my arms I can keep

Even if thy future I cannot peep

In a bed of roses we shall sleep

4. Come What May

I can hold the earth

When we're together

I can even kiss the sun

Because you believe

Outrun the river flows

By giving me the will

I can freeze the time

If you tell me so

I can even stop the rain

When your fingers locked with mine

Dance with the wind

Long as you are beside me

If I were a god

The stars are yours to pick

Let the clouds be your bed

And my love be your blanket

As the angels sing for you

If eternal is longer than forever

I want you to promise me

That we'll be together eternally

Hand in hand, heart to heart

Soul to soul come what may

5. The Promise

Blue skies above

Smell of green grass

Sun rays that tickles

Almost paradise

Birds in pairs

Up in the trees

Sway of leaves

With the music

Of the gentle breeze

Bunnies run freely

Across the green field

And there we are

Like Adam and Eve

Tied by love

Hand in hand

With lovers’ smile

We ought on a journey

Where the rainbow ends

Altar we seek

For us to be bonded

And swear our vows;

Forever hearts be one

Souls eternally entwined

6. The Girl in the Driveway

In a hurry I rushed in to my car

Picked the right key for ignition

Pressed the accelerator hard

Just, to abruptly hit the break

There you were sitting on my drive way

Crying your heart’s out

Without asking, I know, another man

Promised you heaven and earth

Then dumped you in hell

My mind’s shouting “you’d never learn”

But my heart’s crushed with sympathy

So I got out of the car

Leaned over you and reached out my hand

Called the office, I’ll be late

I did not ask you why

Instead I asked you who is he

You answered me with sob

Embraced me and leaned on my shoulder

Then I stopped talking, hugged you tight

After 4 years I’m about to go to work

You stopped me on the drive way

Gave me my lunch box

And told me to be home by dinner

We will celebrate the birthday

Of our three year old son.

"Love like a flower, possesses great beauty and fragrance but beneath the façade there are thorns that can inflict pain." - R.S. Mallari

1. "If you will ask me to come with you.. I will leave everything I own and will live contented and happy for I don't desire much...just to sleep beside you is more than enough."

2. "Do not ask me why I care about you and do not ask for reasons why I wanna be with you, because if I do have the answers, perhaps I don't really love you at all."

3. “You can’t value love unless you felt hate as you won’t appreciate that there is light unless you’ve been into darkness.”

4. “True love is never absolute neither it’s certain but definitely it will survive the test of time.”

5. "You should run now, I will sue you for stealing my heart."

7. “Embrace love with all your heart but don’t let obsession embrace you.”

8. "For a moment I was touching the sky, racing with clouds and even had the moon in my palm until reality kicked my butt and so I fell on the ground with a broken heart."

10. "In a world where no one has the moral ascendancy to say what is right and what is wrong, it will be the heart that will judge everything you have done for love."

11. "When you're in love, you can see things that are not even there but when you're heart-broken, you can't even notice what you have in your hand"

12. "Doing things for the one you love give you happiness, being "served" by the one that loves you gives you pleasure. And there is a big difference between happiness and pleasure."

13. "True love is like wine, it gets better with age."

14. "There is a thin line between hatred and love. Sometimes you say you hate someone but the truth is you are longing for that someone whenever she/he is not around."

Poem: A Love Affair

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 00:30:00 +0000

Chapter I: The Meeting

From a shell out he came

Afraid, place unfamiliar

Isolation made him tame

Everything is but a blur

Figure of innocence

From afar, bit of a glimpse

He felt her presence

Unwise heart in a trance

Handshake, the feelings blurted

Undeniably the man was caught

Desires, his mind was clouded

The vow soon he will forget

The sky is with a dark grin

As the moon seemingly peeps

Watchful of what's happenin'

As two souls cannot sleep

Chapter II: The Beginning

The waves kissing the shore

The man began his quest
Breeze whistling through her hair
Hearts are now restless

Crowds are unaware
With the dark of night
As they took the flight
Passion begins to flare

The man from the shell floats
Amidst the river's current
Lady of innocence asserts
Against the desert's torment

A promise has been sealed
Along the pact of forever
An alliance was forged
Against the odds together

Chapter III: The Blossom

The feeling has grown deep

Intense, never fading
Not a moment too stiff
Hand in hand they're clinging

He laid her on the bed
Promising gentleness
Inhibitions have faded
Remain, lovers' caress

Euphoria they have reached
Pact of love reinforced
Longing has been satisfied
The Promises are renewed

Together they're sailing
On an ocean unsettled
Fervor keeps them padding
To ashore, uncharted

Chapter IV: The Inevitable End

Obstacles along the cruise
Made them weak and doubtful
The ship's heavy, hard to push
The lady jumped remorsefully

The boat, vulnerable
Lost its beauty and might
The man held on, hopeful
But the lady's out of sight

Promises were unfulfilled
Man 'neath the wreck buried
The pact was dissolved
Free is the one who survived

On the beach, it started
The fire was ignited
On the beach, it ended
The flame has subsided

**To love is not a choice,
it is instinct; to acknowledge it
or not is a decision to make.**

Christmas Poems About Life and Family

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 23:30:00 +0000

1. Christmas in the Eyes of a Child

Children’s smiles, happy faces

Take me back to wondrous places

Where once I used to play

Beneath lighted trees with friends

Wish I could be that joyful child

Let all worries be set aside

If we could just be like a child

Christmas will be filled with joy

If we will see this holiday season

Through the eyes of a child

Worries would be non-existent

So let us all be thankful and be glad

Another year will come to pass

Be young in spirit and be that child

And spend the festivities with smiles

Be carried away by the wings of time

Family will be as one, have fun!

2. Santa for a Day (Christmas Cliché Wishes)

Teach children about peace

Instead of wrapped toy guns

Let them keep their innocence

Instill the value of life

Give not expensive gifts,

Be an ambassador of beliefs

Not of materialistic deeds

Show them the way of giving

Give what others are lacking

Provide them with care brushes

With paint mixed with love

Let them cover the globe

With passion and compassion

Through them, the world be cleansed

Of hatred, misgivings, and greed

Then we could all dance and prance

All colors singing hand in hand

By choice and not by chance

3. The Unseen Color of Christmas

Holidays, cold breeze

Children count gifts

Grandpa reminisces

About the old days

While Grandma’s busy

Prepares the fireplace

Mama's a chef

Sings while cooking

While papa’s digging

The basement for his skis

A picture of bliss

On Christmas Eve

On the other side

In a place forsaken

A shivering child

Walks the distance

In search of shelter

Scavenging trash

For any leftover food

Something to digest

Reddened dry face

Blank expression

You may have seen

This poor soul

But hardly noticed

Too busy

With the holiday rush

Turkey on the table

Gifts under the tree

Hot choco and coffee

While watching

The pendulum swings

Didn’t you just hear?

A grumbling child

With time tore up

Shirt and coat

With hand-stitched

Hardened boots

Shelter for the child

Food may be served

Even just for a night

On a cold

Christmas Eve

4. Christmas Songs

The season of hope has come

Doubtful spirit be calm

Throw away sadness and hum

Songs of love gladly be sung

Raise thy hand towards the heaven

Hear the angel's songs so divine

Open thy heart let soul entwine

And cleanse even thy sinful mind

Cold breeze so replenishing

Let thy trapped child in you sing

The atmosphere, so inviting

Grab that guitar, start strumming

Thou shall not worry and weep

Wear a smile, wrap thy gift

Get going and take the trip

Family, friends you must greet

"If we can only see Christmas through

the eyes of a child, holidays will be

filled with joy and laughter"

ho!
ho! ho!

Flashing lights
Dressed trees
Toys and    gifts
All at      peace
Children smile
Joyous    hearts
No      time        for    lies
Fun       starts,           indulge
No           time      to       waste
Sadness             be                gone
It’s Christmas time

ho!

ho!
ho!

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

Romantic Love Poems That Will Make Her Happy

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 23:30:00 +0000

A collection of love poems for your significant other, your girlfriend or for the girl you really adore. When you find that woman who makes you a better version of yourself, someone that inspires you to do great things, and someone who loves you for who you are, she's the one. Keep her and never let go. There are billions of women out there but finding the right one for you is as rare as finding a gem on the beach.

1. Girl Your Love, My Life

A dark night sky without the moon
A hollow vase without the flowers
A cold chimney without the fire
A sail boat without the wind

The flowers die and decompose
As the rain no longer kisses the soil
The trees no longer bear fruits
As the butterflies and bees refuse

It’s all darkness and gloomy nights
The morning sun has decided not to rise
The rainbow will not even show
As the leprechauns stop chasing the gold

Don’t you understand how it goes?
How everything needs reason to flow
Don’t you see? and get it by now?
I am nothing, without your love

2. Four Seasons of Love

Feel me,

Let emotions flow

Breathe with me,

As we play amid snow

Take me,

Where the birds sing

Climb with me,

Lovely hills, blossoming

Kiss me,

Under the morning sun

Run with me,

And cruise the golden land

Hold me,

Neath the brown trees

Embrace me,

We’ll watch, falling leaves

3. Heaven and Earth

she was a gem, a princess

living in a castle, lavish
I was a poor lad, worthless

porcelain skin, soft as silk
glimpse of her face makes me weak
one look from her, all it took

heaven has sided with a poor lad
goddess from her pedestal descended
able to see where she has landed

her overwhelming grace stunned me
she smiled, the sweetest I've seen
made me think more, am I worthy?

took me forever, to hold her hand
oblivious I almost trip on the sand
all changed, when she said I'm her man

Heaven needs Earth to know its worth
and even gods and goddesses need a cohort

4. Memories of You

Days of love I long to keep

When you and I still sing
Nights we shared without sleep
Plucking the guitar strings

Days of joy once we had
When you and I still dance
Nights we spent in my pad
Making love while in a trance

Now memories are all I have
About us when we were young
Though the feeling still remains
You already hold someone's hand

5. I Love You But

I never meant to hurt
A sweet angel like you
I ran away not from you
But from the shadows of my past

I don't want to let go
But I need to set you free
From the beast inside of me
Because I love you so

I lied to you when I said
You are not good enough
I cried, I almost died
The day I broke your heart

6. Unconditional Love

I see you,
Do you know I exist?
All I get,
Blank stares from you

I feel you,
Do you not sense it?
All I am,
Face among the crowd

I love you,
When will you notice?
All I ask,
Chance to prove my worth

I saw you,
With someone else
All I wish,
He deserves your love

I felt you,
Happy and content
All I want,
You’ll stay the same

I’ve loved you,
Even in my dreams
All I want,
Be there if ever you’ll fall

There will always be that someone who will hold your heart forever even if you will not end up together. When a woman inspires you to do better, she's the one so don't ever let go.

More Short Poems for Her:

1. Girl Next Door-Triolet

The lady next door is so fine
I really want to make her mine
She will be in my arms in time
The lady next door is so fine
I’ll invite her so we could dine
Even if I have to fall in line
The lady next door is so fine
I really want to make her mine

2. You, I Finally Found

your curly black hair
touches my cheeks
makes me grasp for air

gentle pair of lips
whisper in my ear
makes me fall asleep

warmth of your embrace
takes away my fears
every time I lose my pace

those pair of eyes
sees through my soul
telling me to stay

but most of all
your loving heart
that cushions my fall

during my youth I wasted lots of time
but got plenty the day you became mine

3. Back Again

By the river
I confessed my love
By the wind
I softly whispered
By the Trees
I promised forever
By the clouds
We laughed and cried
By the mountains
We drifted apart
By the rain
We were in union
Once more.

4. Yours Alone (Minute Poetry)

I adore you with all my heart
The air you breathe
Everything you own
Soil you walk on

I am yours alone, you're my life
Reason I fight
There’s no other
You’re that matter

Hear my pledge, promises I'll keep
You’ll never weep
Shall not despair
I'm your shelter

5. Things I would Do for Her

I will coax the sun to rise
Paint the sky golden for you
I will mold the clouds
Make an image of your face

I can make mangroves dance
And the birds sing for you
Command the sand dunes
And make a castle for you

I will stop the cold breeze
From teasing your skin
Blanket you with my care
Just to keep you warm

These and more I would
If you will stay with me
These and more I would
So be with me for eternity

The Gate or The Tunnel - We Choose Our Own Path

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 01:00:00 +0000

Disorderly, this world has become

Deafening lies beget mistrust
No matter where you turn and run
Find only despair and lust

Others have lost their faith
While some juggle sharp edges
Few succumbed near the gate
Where millions of body laid

A silhouette stands beside the gate
Mocking smiles he cares to share
Counting the misguided to their death
More slaves for his dark fiery lair

Just upon the horizon a flock gathers
Towards a peaceful shining tunnel
Where everyone embraces each other
Without fear and doubt, eager to travel

A silhouette beside the tunnel
Heart bleeds, tears flow from his eyes
As he watches the misguided, fumble
He reaches out his hand but no one dares
To look back and repent...

The greatest gift we have is freewill but it's also our weakness. We all choose own path, be it for the better or our downfall. Salvation or Damnation, it's in our hand, only us can choose which way to go for ourselves.

A Collection of Beautiful Poems about Life

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Mon, 18 Jul 2022 10:16:00 +0000

Life's a Poetry in Motion

The author intentionally made the pieces in order of being down to finally having the courage to move on and fight the battle of life. Continue reading to appreciate the poetry of life that we all go through. There's nothing permanent in this world and even the sadness, hopelessness, and helplessness you feel right now will pass. Always see the brighter side of things for you can only appreciate the light when you have been in the dark.

1. Corner (Alone)

Count the days turn into weeks

Talk to me before I go to sleep

By the window I always wish

To be with my family, that I miss

Several months passed by, so fast

But I can’t be at peace that lasts

Tears in my eyes are my only retreat

When everything seems not so right

Will I ever get used to this life?

Or should I just lie to myself?

Deny that I am not very lonely

And my heart isn't so empty

If only my love can see me now

Sure as the sun will rise, she'll cry

Probably she'll embrace me tight

Tell me everything will be alright

Time will come and soon it'll pass

All these will just be memories

Some segments of the chosen plight

Part of the journey that we call life

2. Drowning

Mist in my mind, thoughts in a bubble

In a deep well, trapped and motionless

To cry, I did over and over again

But the darkness swallowed my voice

I want to crawl up for freedom

But I am too weak, too tired

How I wish I could see the heaven

I cannot, eyes are shut and blinded

Give me a hand please, anyone?

Give me wings and teach me to fly

Wondering how I got here

I dug my mind for bits of clues

I must have slipped during a storm

Lost footing and then fall

It's been a long while and tiresome

I need to get out of this soon or die

Mercy on me, I need to climb

Be free and soar up in the sky

Give me a hand please, anyone?

Give me wings and teach me to fly

3. My Life Ain't Easy

Yeah, you can see my smile, hear my laugh

but not my sob, unseen tears in my eyes

yeah, you can see me run and I can walk

but not when I crawl and my face on the floor

yeah, I wear the mask to hide from people

I cannot stand those judging eyes, it hurts

yeah, I deceive everyone that I am alright

but when alone, I bang my head on the wall

yeah, the shadows are my only friends at night

they seem not to mind and me they comfort

yeah, they don’t stab me in the back

shadows only listen and would never talk

yeah, I can see you mock me while you read

in your mind, I am a pathetic, hopeless being

yeah, you can call me that, I wouldn’t mind

for at this time I am almost good as dead

my wish is that you can at least walk in my shoes

try to wear my clothes and look beneath my skin

I used to be like you, damning idiots like me

the tide turned on me, now I’m the idiot I so despise

4. Crab Mentality

As we go on our journey, we meet people

some would notice others won’t bother

At every stop, you’ll find some new friends

some friends when you are with them

but as you go on the ladder of success

in a court with no room, you will be tried

without you knowing, you’re being accused

crimes of cheating and becoming conceited

only a few of those that you call friends

will push you up, most will pull you down

it’s human nature or perhaps more than that

in the “rat race” everyone wants to be ahead

but should you even care and be affected?

definitely not, just go on, reach for the stars

and when the smoke clears, you’ll be on top

none of these so-called “friends” worth your while

at the end of the day, real and true friends

will patiently be waiting outside your door

with smiles and pride on their faces

congratulating you on a job well done

5. Uncertainties

Augmented imagination

Haunts the subconscious

Stories need to be foretold

Restricted platforms

Words and frames insufficient

Just like clouds unbounded

Should light fades

Eyes will lose essence

Will ears be enough?

Or like the smoke

It will all be just,

Nothing but ghost

6. Egoistic Fool

You claim to have suffered in the past

And so I heard, I really do sympathize

You say you have worked so hard

And so it seems, I admire you for that

You have swallowed your pride for success

Chewed on your life’s values and principles

You have triumphed, now at the top

Head bloated with conceit never looked back

Self-proclaimed dominion, you are the boss

Haven’t you noticed? Everyone is in chaos

Whenever your presence is felt, so bad

You’ve lost your family and friends, so sad

Truth is, you’re clinging to a thin thread

You’re just a fly on top of the buffalo’s head

7. What is the Real Meaning of Life?

The void is too great, too deep

Sometimes at night, I end up in the abyss

The feeling of nothingness, it suffocates

With all the wealth, nothing is adequate

Until one day, I met a homeless man

He seems so at peace as if he owns the street

With a pen and a notebook at hand

He looked me in the eye and said, this is my wealth

I glanced at the notebook, began to read

There I learned he used to be a movie star

Adored by millions and by thousands was envied

I asked, why did you choose this life of having none

He smiled and said, I have all that I need

The street will provide my food

The creek bathes me and keeps me clean

I do not have to worry about money, and he grinned

Why a homeless man is so happy and content?

And me who has everything, living a despondent life

8. Free Your Mind

Never been rich,

But know how it feels

Never been to Paris,

But have climbed

Eifel Tower thrice

Never owned a jet,

But have flown one

A hundred times

Never been to Venice,

Yet I ride Gondolas

Under Rialto bridge

Every chance I get

Never been to China,

But the great wall

I have walked on

Never been to New York,

Yet I have touched

The famous torch

Of the Lady of Liberty

These and more I have done

With just a bit of imagination

9. Dance of Life (You are the Choreographer of your Life)

Life flows through the stream of time

With it are memories linked to our past

It may hit decaying leaves and sharp rocks

But definitely, it will reach the shoreline

Be like the water, always finding its way

Against obstacles, it passes through somehow

Life is like a dance, it is choreographed

It must be synchronized with the music

Be attuned to the beat so it will jive

But getting into the groove is a hard task

You are the choreographer of your life

Make it the way you want it to be

10. What's there to Doubt?

What’s there to doubt?

You hold the key to success

Your path was paved for you

What’s the whining about?

What’s there to be feared?

Everyone watches your back

Love, support in your backpack

What’s there to doubt?

Why do you have to cry?

Run away when you fail

Curse everyone you know

What’s the whining about?

What’s there to be feared?

What’s there to doubt?

Why do you have to cry?

What’s the whining about?

11. Take the Lead

They say this world is in chaos

like a party without a host

motivated by lust and greed

stop talking and lead instead

Men and children carrying guns

conflicts arise where love is none

Men in power pull the parade

stop talking and lead instead

Warlords and the like talk about peace

while pointing a gun at someone's face

Let all the false masks worn be shed

stop talking and lead instead

They say this world is in chaos

stop talking and lead instead

12. Life Cycle: Ending & Beginning

Sun is born after dawn
Crawls slowly behind cliffs
Reach the clouds, then walks
It will go down as dusk comes

Rain will fall on fertile soil
Seeds sprout in abundance
Flowers bloom in various colors
Then dry up as summer comes

Friction, sparks then flame
Fire will grow, engulfs, and reign
Devours, consumes everything
Shrinks diminish then nothing

All starts at one point, a beginning
Develops, reaches its prime
Declines, fall off and then pass on
All constant, everything has its end

13. Spring of Hope on the Horizon

I can see a hint of a great sun

Rises from the horizon.

Just a little bit more and

Everything will be fine

Under the sun's radiant light.

The darkness that envelopes me

Slowly fades away.

Hopes finally flow

From the spring of faith

That was lost in my struggles,

Against the demons inside me.

The past has chained me,

Kept me in the dark for too long

Now is the time to let go and live in the present

So I can slowly see the great future

That has been laid for me.

One Day, All it Takes

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Sat, 16 Jul 2022 19:31:00 +0000

A cloud of dust, blocks the horizon
Seeded with heavy mist of pessimism
Tears of anxieties and uncertainties
Isn’t it too early to let go and succumb?

Morning is the best part of day
Though sometimes best thing comes
At noon or what we call the mid-day
But most would give up and resign
Isn’t it too early to let go and succumb?

At dusk, you’re restless and thrown
Hope fades and will resort to self-pity
Weep, crawl and drag yourself down
Drown yourself and dwell in apathy
Isn’t it too early to let go and succumb?

A day may pass and the sun won’t shine
But a week has seven days, thirty in a month
There is “One Day” for you; it’s all in its time
Enough of the drama, be alive and get out
One day it will come, wait for your turn

39 Quotes About Life That Can Make You Feel Good About Yourself

"Life, like the breeze changes from warm to cold, mild to threatening, occasionally unbearable but it will calm down in the morning." - R.S. Mallari

7 Short Motivational Poems about Life

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Tue, 12 Jul 2022 14:23:00 +0000

1. Run Towards Destiny

traveler on the run

wherewithal soon to be scant

care to look back

a penny in the pocket

thirst soon will catch up

rain hardly comes in summer

freedom you seek

meet with your destiny

are you in the right path?

crossroads ahead

success, failure is the other

sad, no traffic sign

runaway train

never, shall it return

to where you once before

where ever

never say never

keep your faith, always

2. Live and Let Die

We cry, always will

We laugh, need to chill

We suffer, bear and last

We triumph, chew the feast

We tremble, fall and rise

We conquer, claim the prize

Sometimes we need to run

Others take the wrong turn

We live, hated, beloved

We die, gone, remembered

3. A New Day

Restless, I wander

Dark clouds above hover

Insanity, so near

I'm far beyond sober

My world, my own cell

I created a deep well

Where no one can dwell

Worst than Satan's hell

But that was yesterday

I was lost, out of way

Everything's murky as clay

I was wrong, I must say

Rain has stopped and gone

The sun has claimed its throne

I shall be grateful not forlorn

New day, come break of dawn

4. Soar

Dream on while awake

Don’t leave everything to fate

Run if you must dare

Never yield, do not falter

Fly high, keep the flight

Don’t look down and regret

Keep the faith, do not cry

Ascend and touch the sky

5. Believe

Falls like a leaf

Walks through

Avenues of fears

When it ends

Nobody knows

Floats like a boat

Dances with waves

Sea of doubts

To where it leads

Only God knows

Soon the journey

Shall end

Keep the faith

And forever

Be hopeful

6. Reformat

Wonder what went wrong

Logical drive is on overload

Processor beginning to heat up

Restart, look for faults

Diagnosis in progress

Working in safe mode

Launching the anti-virus

Screen flickers, then

“Warning: Virus detected”

File-name: depression.exe

Unable to delete

Moving it to the vault

Too late, system infected

Need system-restore,

Looking for the back-up

Nowhere to be found

Drastic measure required

“Faith” Operating System

Must be re-installed.

7. Start Over

Such regrets

It will make you cold and bitter

Such regrets

Let it go, things will be better

Why soak, you can start over

Such regrets

Days of innocent - Ode to My Mom

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Wed, 30 Jun 2021 16:00:00 +0000

By: Claire Gibbs

Days of innocent
No cares in the world
Playing my guitar
Singing my song
I've only just started
My life has just begun

I am an actor on a stage
The main part in my own life
I live in the moment no care for the past
The future ahead of me yet uncast

You look at me with envy
And with pride and joy on your face
I seem to somehow remind you that life's not a race

I am young
My days are a dream
I live my life
And do as I please

Youth is a wonder
A good thing a gift
I believe I can be anything
I want to be

I am a pirate
If I choose
and the lounge is the ocean
And upon it a ship

My world is make believe
Or so to you it seems
Yet When you look at me I see your eyes Shining bright
I see inside your soul a burning light

You are my teacher
Yet you're the one being taught
Do you really need me to remind you what life's about

You were once like I am now
Giving up on your dreams I can't allow

I remember when I was small and you held my hand
You showed me the world, made me understand

When we went for a walk and my legs were small,
When I would take ages you didn't mind at all

You made me feel loved, you spent your time with me
You said I could be anything I wanted to be

You showed me the world covered in magical light
You lay beside me night after night

I stood by your side mum and listened to every word
Even the times you thought I'd not heard

Thank you for loving me unconditionally no matter what
Focusing on what I am and not on what I'm not

Thank you for showing me amazing things
And making me realize the happiness love brings
For all the hugs you gave me where you squeezed me tight
And for making even the bad things seem alright

So If I give you a kiss and a hug goodnight
And just for good luck I squeeze you extra tight

If I make you a heart because I thought of you
And Write you a note saying I love you forever its because it's true

You said it was the simple things that mattered and how people feel,
You said being kind and loving is what makes it real

I love you mum X

I Hate You but Do I Love You?

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Sat, 05 Jun 2021 02:00:00 +0000

I hate the way you walk
Despise the way you look
Loathe your innocent smile
Yet I can spot you from a mile

I can’t stand it when you talk
Merely listening makes me choke
Just being near you is torture
Yet I want to be still the more

Something about you that I hate
That I yearn to see everyday
Your presence I pretty much detest
Yet I desire to see your face

Sometimes I just want to get away
But at night, to be with you I pray
Wish I could just let this subside
Yet it’s my dream to be by your side

"There is a thin line between hatred and love. Sometimes you say you hate someone but the truth is you are longing for that someone whenever she/he is not around." - Love Quotes

Healing Summer Rains - Hold Me Close

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Sat, 05 Dec 2020 12:07:00 +0000

Healing Summer Rains

by Jeanne Ames

Your hand moves slowly across my shoulder bare
Running up my neck your fingers lock within my hair
You draw me firmly to you until our bodies meet
My head resting on your chest I listen to your heart beat

My heart beats faster as your arms firmly embrace me
With your tender touch, my skin feels what your hands see
I look up at you and see eyes that burn with cold blue fire
Putting my arms around your neck I can feel our desires

Hold me close until we are one, never to part again
Let us get lost in each other away from mindless men
This world of men gives us empty promises of hope
Let the soulless ones choke on their alcohol and dope

Within your arms I feel loved and safe from all pain
All the fears wash away like the healing summer rain
Sending heavenly tears to bring life to dried out dreams
Forget the world for a time and let the mad man scream

For you and I share a bond that I have never known
Over years we learned to care, our love has only grown
I wish to bring that sparkle in your bright eyes once more
We don’t have money but it is the rich man that’s poor

Take my hand and let us make life’s Journey together
We all need someone to care, our lives are not forever
Being so alike yet different too, the Idea Man and me
I write the words that spark inspiration to me from thee

So hold me close and give me what affection you can
Together we face the Fates back to back or hand in hand
The Fates spins threads forming the journey of our souls
But we will always have imitation and passion hot as coals

A Fruit of Love: A Father's Wish

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 00:30:00 +0000

A Year Before

In my heart I'm longing
Little sounds, cute cries
In my mind I desire
Chanting innocent voice
That will fill the silence

A living fruit of love
I will caress and cherish
A loving soul in the cradle
I could care to watch
In my fatherly chest
Will lay to sleep.

A Year After

I wish I could find the right words
I hope I can express my emotions
I feel I owe you my angel
The happiness you bring, immeasurable
Your unpretentious smile, incomparable
Your hugs and kisses, non-negotiable

The battles of life I'll fight for you
The struggles I shall conquer for you

The day will come for you to fly
The moment shall arrive for you to explore
The time you'll find for your own space
Indeed Inevitable

I don't mind the time nor the future
I would never think of the coming days
I shall not even count the moments.
All I want to do now is to love you
All I need to do now is to cherish you
All that matter now is you're with me
My precious

I Wish I Could Go Back

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Tue, 01 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Once I did not care
Not minding what clothes to wear
Once I did not swear
Not even noticing what I bear

Reckless, my younger years
Doing crazy things without fears
Selfish, my younger years
Bullying kids with friends' cheers

Gone are all the days
When rainbow we race to chase
Gone are all the smiles
When we watched the sun's blazes

Now maturity came to be
From a different perspective things I see
Now everything's new to me
Even the place where I used to live

**Back then I wished I am older
now I’m wishing I could go back**

The Player - An Old Man

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Mon, 30 Nov 2020 22:30:00 +0000

Like a stag you roam

Love is a game to play
Like a stag you groom
Girls a heartbeat away

Like a bee you fly
Flowers you always seek
Like a bee you don't stay
Flowers you leave so quick

Like a lion you hunt
Savannah is your domain
Like a lion you causes hurt
Ladies are part of the game

Then comes the inevitable
Your skin begins to sag
Then comes the terrible
You are alone and so sad

Now you are like a kid
Wishing you have someone
Now you act like stupid
Wishing you're not alone

Death of Chivalry (Ottava Rima)

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 00:30:00 +0000

Once upon a time when gentlemen abound
Honor was more important than bank account
When men live by their words, are always bound
And act only by good and noble intent
Women feel secure as knights were around
Warriors don’t need force to steal ladies’ hearts
Gone are the days of kingdoms and noble men
Comes era of lust and love of forbidden

Lament of a Broken Heart

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 00:30:00 +0000

From the moment we first met
there was something I felt
a pinch in my heart
that day, I promise to myself
you, only you that I shall keep

I did things just to be closer
for us to become lovers
I have thrown my pride
in the name of love
I chose to be by your side

through the years I tried
to keep what we have
I kept on holding on so tight
through hardships, against all odds
all for us, I already did

instead you despised me
talking behind my back
even to my closest friends
that’s what you have done
you made me soak in pain

I began to hate life
created a world so dark
I became the bitter one
I chose to be alone
and embraced loneliness

why did you hurt me so bad?
all I ever wanted was to be loved
why did you stab me in the back?
and tell me, you want me back

leave now, please let me find my old self
keep those empty promises in your pocket

10 Relatable Dark Poems about Life

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Sat, 21 Nov 2020 00:30:00 +0000

There will always be some days when you feel like you have been forsaken and that the world has turned its back on you. The dark feeling of isolation that we should all conquer has a name, "Depression". It's OK not to be OK , just don't forsake yourself.

1. Bleeding Heart

As I bury myself in my blanket of sorrows
nothing seems can comfort me but the shadows
in the darkness I am free, I am indestructible
in silence mocking stops, feeling of solitude

the sunrise that I have loved all my life
now irate me as it engulfs the darkness, my ally
but as the thunder rumbles and lightning strikes
as the rain begins to pour, shade embraces

let there be only night or rain for all eternity
I want to be drenched in my self-made reality
get off my back and stop lecturing me
I know what I want, let me be forever free

no reason to wake, let me sleep without end
the fairy has left me wandering. I lost faith
without you, it’s more of a pain to breathe
only thing that can free me is death

you gave me life, but you let go of my hand
like a bird without wings, now I’m nothing
let sadness eat me little by little and be gone
for without you, I can’t and won’t go on

2. Sorry is Enough

A gloomy Thursday night,

there’ll be no moonlight.

as dark clouds won’t allow,

and won’t let reasons flow.

the skyline lacks remorse,

and hate is on its course.

Soon the resilient chain

that links these hearts

will turn brittle within

Toxins of selfishness,

burn even the sturdiest.

venom of the proudest,

kills even the mightiest.

Soon the resilient chain,

will turn brittle within

Bit of sincere apologies

could have been fine

like sweet bitter wine

it’ll wash away enmities

All scars shall fade in time

the sun soon will shine

bask in it, hand in hand

back will be, laughter and fun

3. Deafening Silence

I can hear your silence

I can feel the cold

I guess it's the winter

but it is not

it's your heart

I can no longer hear

your silence is deafening

a single word of response

it makes me cry

a bleeding heart,

pounding like hell

soon the body cannot handle

and what will be left

is one last deep breath

4. The Big Fight

Just last night
a shadow
called my name
I looked back and grinned
walked away
he yelled; you coward!
I ran towards him
threw a left hook
blood sprawled
he countered
an uppercut to my chin
I was knocked out
next thing I knew
I woke up
lying on the cold floor
cuts on my knuckles
I stood up
on the shattered mirror
was my distorted reflection
only then I realized
the shadow I fought
was me all along

5. Cave of Dead Dreams

A narrow path, a dark place
Pitch black, only echoes
Sound of water drops

Thin air poisons sanity
Smell of decay below
Aroma of death

Absence of light
Deafening silence
Absolute isolation

Tears of failure
Blend with thick water
Bottomless pond

Destination for the resigned
One way ticket
Where dreams are buried

6. "Drought"

rivers of contentment
stopped from flowing
to the sea
sea of serenity
turning into desert
desert of desolation
as the sun mocks
every bit of clouds
that carry the drops
drops of sustenance
soon the trees
will succumb
and forever be gone
sheds they provide
shall no longer
appease wandering souls

7. Crestfallen

I no longer fight
Surrendered
I cannot smile
Too depressed
I no longer dream
Only nightmares
I can no longer love
Full of anger
I am drowning fast
In the sea of misery
I lost my way
Dark alley of the past
No one can save me
The weight is too heavy
Just let it be
All I ask
Remember me when
I was still myself

8. Threading Faith

Whispers of anonymity
Along the valley of strangers
Silence so unholy
Roaring lies, shadowing
A river of deception cruises
Beyond the cliff....
Cliff of self-annihilation

Never-ending tunnel
Only vivid,
Lurking darkness

Desperate chants
Dimming faith echoes
Nothingness creeps
Escape just a string,
A string of make-believe
Forever trapped, chained
Alone, dreary, and dying

9. A Shot of Tranquilizer

Stupidity as it may be, trying to race with the time.
Restlessness overpowers even the most logical mind.

Anxiety is so overwhelming, even heartbeats begin to falter.
Uncertainty blankets even the perfect vision.

Sincerity is so scarce, even your close friend tends to lie.
Hypocrisy clouds even the best intention.

Insanity so near, even the counsel refuse to say
As the door to an alternate reality begins to unlock.

Hopes vanishes, desires begin to melt as the hand loses its grip.
Faith begins to disintegrate.

A shot of tranquilizer I beg, the suffering will ease
As I’ll be able to sleep in peaceful misery.

10. Chained Freedom

You can breathe
But don't make it long
You can Cheat
Better never prolong

Play the game
But never winning
Who to blame
When you're whining

Rock may roll
'neath your bare feet
Pleasure crawl
Happiness never meant

All alone cry
Regrets flashing fast
Tears never dry
Heart and mind clash

Feather so light
Yet you're not flying
Earned not flight
Forever ashamed laying

Drag to pit
Soul never returning
Under six feet
You are never fleeing

Sometimes acknowledging how you truly feel, no matter how dark your current emotion, it's still better than pretending to be OK and everything is going well. Life is a constant battle and a mix of good days and some bad days. Learn from the dark days and cherish sunny ones.

A Poem: She's Almost Perfect

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 23:30:00 +0000

She is an intimidating beast, a beauty
Walks like a satin being blown by wind
She is a growling monster, so uncanny
Irresistible, she has the power of persuasion

Medusa can turn anyone into stone
By mere look into her magical eyes
She can make you crawl, begging for more
Just by a glimpse of her startling poise

Aphrodite, even Venus would envy
Such succulent pair of burgundy lips
With perfectly sculptured body
Scent of unsaturated heavenly bliss

A masterpiece, almost a demigoddess
A living work of art, beyond excellence
She is incomparable, almost flawless
Only mistake, she fell for the wrong man

This poem is about a woman falling for the wrong man. Even the most cautious woman and no matter how intelligent, sometimes she will most likely can't resist love and ends up being with the wrong guy.

Game We Call Life

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Sun, 21 Jul 2019 23:30:00 +0000

Run when you can't bear
Leave everything to fate
Hide like you don't care
As You lose your faith

Time is of the essence
But you do not bother
Luck ain't purely by chance
Patience have to master

The present's forgiving
Enjoy now till it past
The future's uncertain
You better prepare fast

Dream not when you're asleep
Be the weaver while awake
The fortune you must seek
Act now for it won't wait

"If the future is predestined
I'd rather sleep in my bed
and wait for my fate."

The Enchantress - A Dream

noreply@blogger.com (R.S Mallari) — Mon, 04 Feb 2019 00:30:00 +0000

Moonlit dazzles with the tune of your voice
The cicadas have stopped and lost their poise
Skunks left their perfumes to be your audience
Tigers came from miles away and took chances

Fairies are envious while watching you enchants
The whole forest is in awe while the rivers are silent
Fireflies began to light your stage of old dead woods
Slaves escaped for freedom from their cruel lords

Flowers began to bloom in autumn night
Magical, splendid, mystical, a very lovely sight
From the north, penguins march, clapping their flips
School of dolphins has come too, left their guided ships

As dawn peeps in the east, before your final song ends
The forest, all creatures asleep with their happy dreams
