The Night You Said I Love You

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:29:00 +0000

I heard the birds sing in the silence of the night
upon knowing that you also care for me
I saw the light of day in the darkest of night
soon as you said those words I’m longing to hear

Joy came to me like that of the ocean’s waves
knocking me off my feet, with smile on my face
unearthly happiness conquered all my doubts
my fragile heart almost jump out of my chest

Now, a castle I am building to be our love nest
a home that we can share with all its goodness
no, do not look for it my lovely beloved
feel it, listen to my heart and yours instead

It’s a world created out of the love we share
a home that can only be felt but not to be seen
a wondrous place opened up for me and you
the night you told me, YOU love me too.

My Home is with You

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 16:13:00 +0000

A simple dinner yet so much joy
Meal so great that it touches the heart
Guess it’s the manner it was cooked
By the very hand of someone I so adore

Inexpensive night yet so priceless
A great feel of heavenly bliss
First taste took me somewhere else
Somewhere, only you and I can share

Dinner for two, two tangled soul
Both refugees of this cruel world
Bound by true and unconditional love
Together in a special place we've made

In a place that can only be reached
Through the loud beats of our hearts
Home is when you are in my arms
Home is where pain and hurt is mend

True keepers of love can and will wait
No matter how long, shall keep the faith
Long as both our hearts beat as one
Even miles apart, the feeling will remain

Until My Last Breath

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:58:00 +0000

You are up there, on a pedestal
No one is even close to where you are
You are so high, my heart put you there
So don’t ever look down on them
Not a soul to you is worth to compare

When I said you are the only one
I meant it in a singular kind of way
Because no matter what happens
It’s always you, in my heart, in my mind
Memories, that is what they are to me

Did I ever lie to you? I have not
All that I do is speak of my love for you
Of how you paint my life with so much hue
There is nothing to doubt, I am yours
All of me, all of my being, even my life

If there is something I would keep
When finally it’s time to face death
It would be my unwavering love for thee
In my final moment, your hand I shall grip
My last word, your name, my final breath

You Made Me Live

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 12:19:00 +0000

Life was just a thing to pass
Like hour and day that shall end
Existing alone, yes I was
That was before you came

Like wind from the south
You have touched my heart
Then the stars have shone
Gone are the nights of gloom

In my world that I have made
Where I used to cry and hide
Suddenly a breath of fresh air
Aroma of dead stone vanished

World that I so despise
Finally, light upon my sight
Beings that I so detest
Someone different I have met

You, who is so selfless,
Showed me another world
A world of hope and aspirations
A place I never knew existed

You seem so tired yourself
Battles of life you have fought
Yet you find it in your heart
to care and showed my worth

I have never live though I existed
I used to believe that there is none
Beyond the walls I have made
But you’ve open my eyes, held my hand

All my life, only way I have known
Is that everything and everyone
shall go into the gate of oblivion
You showed me other doors to open

I was astray, always been alone
Then we’ve met, you took me home
In your fragile heart, gave me a room
Then I began to live, born again

You taught me how to fly
Conquered all the fears inside
You taught me how to climb
Even the highest of mountains

I am on my way to greatness
So be the there, be my witness
Because if you let go and leave
I shall fall, so don’t let me bereave

You are a part of all my dreams
The reason I decided to go on
Be gone and I shall be undone
So promise, you’ll forever hold my hand

Binary Stars (Celestial Lovers)

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 09:41:00 +0000

By NASA and ESA

Two celestial bodies intertwined
gravity keep them connected
such a beauty to watch in motion
two distinct bodies move as one

like lovers in a crowded world
they met and never want to let go
love flaming as that of the star
even the great cold can’t keep them apart

universe is immeasurable and dark
yet two stars able to cross path
earth is home to billions of souls
yet two find each others’ hearts
and make it their home.

power of love between two lovers
is like that of the binary stars
gravity keep them close, make them one
but never would both stars
collide with each other no matter what

When Pain is All there is

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 09:54:00 +0000

why do you need to hurt me?
so you could just feel a bit better
why keep on chasing ghosts
that has kept us so restless
wouldn’t it be better just to let go?

do you realize how much i carry?
every time you lash me with your tongue
heartless, how can you be?
why won’t you just be glad?
we have gone so far

now we are growing apart
crumbling vows and promises
soon, even the greatest foundation
shall collapse and will cease to exist
love no matter how strong and true
will break, if pain is all there is

Pain and Happiness Called Love

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 19:00:00 +0000

I was awaken for the first time
The day you and I became one
It was a long death for me
You made me live suddenly

My world became so clear
Even trees seem to cheer
Darkness conquered by light
Everything just so right

If heaven really do exist
I’ve been there I guess
Where flowers bloom
And lovebirds sing

Then it came, abrupt
Words that tore me apart
“Goodbye” I am so sorry
The dagger’s tip hit the heart

Pain isn’t enough not quite
Even worse than death
It was something, so heavy
Breathing so hard for me

For a moment, it stopped
Heartbeats can’t be felt
Dark clouds then hovers
Comes death of a lover

Missing Wonderland

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 08:34:00 +0000

I miss the smell of your skin
your delicate soft skin
caressing your body with my hand
when we're on another world
just the two of us
when everything just becomes insignificant
moment of passion takes over
and flowers begins to bloom
in a lover’s meadow evergreen
in our world where noises doesn’t exist
all I can hear is the beating of our hearts
and your calm refreshing breath of love

So it Has Grown

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:58:00 +0000

like a plant
it was showered with so much care
til it bears a flower
flower with so much passion
no thorns
just fragrance
a flower that we now share
the love we nurture

Moments in Wonderland

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 14:54:00 +0000

I love to see you in bed
Hugging pillows so tight
Seeing your bare body
Complimented by soft light

Your body is a wonderland
I can’t believe you are mine

I wouldn’t want the ruby slippers
I want to stay where I am now
Alone with you, one and together
With you, nothing can be so cold

Your body is a wonderland
I can’t believe you are mine

Before you were just a dream
A part of my self-made world
Now here we are in a room
Where we can sail without a boat

Your body is a wonderland
Let these moments be mine

War of Life

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 15:22:00 +0000

The pain of losing, a battle forsaken
You are at war, the saga known as life
Weep if you must but never abandon
Hold your ground, wait for the morning light

Believe in yourself, arm your morale
With hopes and aspirations, go on and fight
Shield yourself, confidence as your armor
Never lose focus, keep target at sight

Iron will and unwavering desire to win
That’s what you need in your battle gear
Don’t let explosive tongues deplete courage
Hold on to your convictions and be a winner

Don’t let your guards down amidst battles
Else army of detractors will conquer your spirit
Go on sergeant, onward to victory, dazzle
Badge of life’s achievement for you, awaits

To the Lady I learned to Admire

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 08:51:00 +0000

like a flower you're a delight to the eyes
elegance you possess always radiates
even rivals that of the great sun light
higher than a mountain's summit
your personality extends far as the sky

may your life flow like that of the river
continue to touch lives along the way
soar like an eagle, valleys for you to conquer
do not compromise, explore, sail away
like a savannah, your potential is limitless

if I were Zeus, chaos will be in Olympus
as Hera will envy my favor upon you

Dedicated to Bessie Manalo on her Birthday.

Two Steps Behind

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 09:29:00 +0000

Take my hand, come closer
Hug me, lean on my shoulder
Trust me, close your eyes,
I’ll dry those tears away

Hush my precious, it’ll be alright
Open your eyes, look into mine
Let me caress that beautiful face
Move on, your life has just began

Heartache is just but part of it
Go on, the journey you must take
Leave the pain behind, walk the path
Explore, there is more to life

I am not going anywhere
Always run to me whenever
Count on it, I won’t forsake you,
I’ll be two steps behind you

Unlike a Butterfly

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 06:50:00 +0000

fragrance you possess
euphoria to my senses
smooth delicate petals
I could rub against my face

joy that you bring
delights my being
Oh! soft as snow
my lips, long for

serene as the night
I could rest on your lap
refreshing as the sunrise
leave you will be unwise

like a butterfly
on your petals I'll stay
unlike a butterfly
I won't leave and fly

Death of the Pillar ~ POEMS about LIFE, POEMS on LOVE, and QUOTES

Death of the Pillar

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 09:45:00 +0000

Desolation upon me, pain I couldn’t explain
Confused and lost, drench in suffocating mist
Cold breeze envelopes, a lacerated heart

Dawn never came; dark of night wraps my being
Shed tears dried up, still wound within me stings
Rock that used to be, buried beneath the ground

He, the pillar has gone, shall never return
Rock that he is, soon dust he will become
But his wisdom forever be embedded in my mind

Father let me mourn, but not with disdain
I am your son; will carry your legacy, your name

In Your Heart

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 12:55:00 +0000

Every road ends somewhere
Like the sun rises and sets
Even the greatest of rivers
Shall dry and lose its might

Happiest when someone is born
Will crawl, walk and then pass on
Like a flower that blooms in spring
And wither as the summer comes

Though the cycle is a bit unkind
Humans are blessed with memory
Where joy is stored even the pain
The joy of living, pain of losing

Loneliest when someone depart
As those who’ll be left behind
Struggle to cope and accept fate
As they shed tears and mourn

But death is just a word
Term to describe the absence of
Love ones can live forever
If we’ll let them reside in our hearts

The love we have for them
Won’t fade, rather remain
Keep that love, keep it at heart
It’s where they’ll forever live

Hush, do not weep, no one is going anywhere
Unless you let go and forget to remember

Some Days with My Kids

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 10:19:00 +0000

And so it goes my son has to ask
Curious mind, fragile and eager
A four year old, want to know so much
When he talks, as if he knows all
Confidence in him overwhelms me
He is such a darling, so innocent
Selfishly I’m wishing, he’d be a kid,
Even a little longer until my return.

My pretty daughter, she’s now nine
Young but feels as if she’s old enough
Fairy tales aren’t on her stories list
Playing dolls isn’t cute, not anymore
Gadget in her palm, singing tunes
I can’t help but to look back in time
She was just so tiny on my chest
Not so long ago, as she sleeps
Now all I could do is wonder who
Who is that boy in her mind?
If I could just tell her to be my baby,
Even for a little longer until my return.

Just some days with my kids, soon I have to leave
Count days turn to months, another year until my return.

What's Lost Can Be Found Again

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 03:56:00 +0000

I shall call unto the heavens
Hear my cry, oh please let it rain
Quench the thirst, this shrivelled passion

The love that used to be
That kept me at bay, my sanity
Will it be forever lost in the mist of pride?

Waves of anger keep pounding
These fragile hearts soon shall break
Unless the holes of this ship be patched up

Rain oh rain drench these souls
With passion that used to be the armour
Even the worst of weathers cannot destroy

Let the lost be found and hearts shall again be one
Fury shall subside and the mist will at once be gone

This isn't a Love Poem

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 11:23:00 +0000

Somewhere, when least expected
Love blooms like flower in winter snow
Somewhere, two souls are tangled
Like two trees, branches entwined
On the edge of the cliff, somewhere

Rare that two soul mates end up together
Like seldom rain floods the Sahara desert
Rare that true love triumph over convenience
At least not at this materialistic era
Love still exist though but rarely substantial

Late when most realize that love isn’t a fantasy
Like the stories that have been told at bed time
Late when most discover that happy ever after
Is as elusive as that falling star at night
Though it isn’t a lie and it do happens, somewhere

Come What May

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 13:39:00 +0000

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

Life is a Journey

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:42:00 +0000

Sail, explore the vastness
Feast on the bounty
There is more to life
In between pain and despair

Surf, ride along the possibilities
Chances can’t be scarce
To those who search
Success won’t be far away

Float; run with the wind of change
Lots of riddles to be solved
Life is a quest, a voyage
Uncertainties make it a challenge

Getaway, leave the crib of doubt
In your hand, the power
Inside you, the great fire
Let it flare; shine and be at the top

Walk Through Pain

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Sun, 29 May 2011 09:06:00 +0000

With me is a sledgehammer
About to raze these walls
Walls that kept me miserable

In my heart a dynamite
About to blow up the chain
Chain that have locked me

It took me awhile to recognize
It’s me, who limits my growth
Time for dreams to be realized

Such a fool to have waited
For something or someone
That can lift me from the gulf

I have pondered enough
Things that I should have done
Time’s wasted, I must make-up

I will walk through the pain
Throw the luggage at hand
Time to enjoy some sunshine

Lost

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Mon, 16 May 2011 20:59:00 +0000

Combing her hair
silence, blank stare
suddenly drops of tears
as the sun retreats

pair of nightingales
mate on their nest
happily singing songs
echoes of blissfulness

behind the windows
there is no solace
only the sound of hush
yielded, she has

wind kissing the chimes
passing of seasons
behind the windowpane
alone, she has remained

Her Lullabies

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Sat, 07 May 2011 18:35:00 +0000

Her lullabies calm the innocent one
In the cradle peaceful, helpless, asleep
She watches over ‘til the morning comes

Her protective instinct second to none
She struggles when the little one weep
Her lullabies calm the innocent one

She won’t forsake, won’t leave you alone
You, her precious, she will forever keep
She watches over ‘til the morning comes

Her embrace will keep you sound and warm
Love that shall nurture and keep you safe
Her lullabies calm the innocent one

From noon to dusk until the break of dawn
She won’t take her eyes of you even a minute
She watches over ‘til the morning comes

You were that innocent one, now have grown
Do you care to give her, even a bit of respect?
Her lullabies have calmed you, the innocent one
She watched over you, mornings that have gone

One Day, All it Takes

noreply@blogger.com (R.S. Mallari) — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 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

The Broken Angel
Crows cry, hover above Sensing the darkness that gushesThrough these flaming eyesTime is drawing nearSanity is about to slip awayClouds of unspeakable gloomRain of thorns will rip the fleshPenetrating the fragile bonesCorrupted by diminished faithSongs of resignation echoesJust a matter of timeThis angel will lose the haloand will embrace the wombWomb of the wicked beast
