The Art of Making it Alone

The moment you let people into your life - you exposed yourself to vulnerability
The worst part about betrayal - it doesn't come from your enemy
You put your whole trust into someone - you ended up being let down
Fake memories flooded your chest...

Poet & Poem Collision

On a breathtaking sunset view
An idea came out of the blue
Sharp chills of that winter season
Brought unexplored new horizon

The warmth on that summer day
Awaken words in its usual play
Pen and paper on her hand
Remnants scattered on the...

Her Eyes

I'll be staying in the city for a while so I rented a room
It's on the 2nd floor and I arrived exactly at 12 noon
Before climbing the stairs, the door leading to the basement caught my attention
I peeked through the small hole to satisfy my...

A Little Girl's Christmas Wish

She’s just a little girl who has seen this world’s cruelty
The main protagonist in this poem of tragedy
She watched from afar how children play with their parents in the amusement park
Then she proceeds to collect useful trash in the alley before...

Patience

I saw you once sitting alone in that coffee shop
A moment of silence that made all things stop
I looked at you the way I'll get lost in a galaxy
It's more than enough than what I call - fantasy

I was waiting for my turn to place my order

Ghost Bride

It haunts her when she sleeps, that terrifying moment she gets lost in the abyss
The dark shadow cuts her heart so deep, those traumas that she alone must keep
It began when she's about to get married, to a rich man her parents just easily picked

Melissa

Melissa is a teenager
Who's good in martial arts
To defend those who are in danger
That's where the fighting starts

She's 25 years old that time
When she saved a bullied kid
Everything went well and fine
And the boy's name is Reed

The Worm

Millions of centuries ago
In a land called - Igorro
Lived a worm with extreme discontent
Fed up with its current predicament

It was during the mid of winter season
When the worm completely lost its reason
It made a deal with the King of the...

Dead Stars

One, two, three
Do, Re, Mi
Listen, just listen to me
Take a look, come closer and see...

The night sky, all black and empty
Like a ruined art that lost its beauty
"Open your eyes." A voice whispered softly
He felt stone cold air wrapped...

Keep Going

This poem goes to those who gave up on life
Those hopeless days they decided to quit the fight

This poem goes to those who lost a dad
Those childhood memories they miss so bad

This poem goes to those who let go of a dream
Those darkest...

Denial

When a moment is just a memory
Would you still remember me?

When doubts turned to certainty
And dreams became reality

When we meet unexpectedly
Would you call it a tragedy?

When I said hi as you pass by
Would you respond with a...

The Farmer

There was a farmer who once wish
To eat such an extravagant dish
Planting under the scorching heat
He imagined that beef juicy meat

Every morning when he goes to work
He randomly thinks of that crunchy pork
And as the calluses on his hands...

Ava

Ashes slowly embrace the lake
As dawn begins to break
Remnants of once a living soul
Discovered the art of letting go
    Her name was Ava
    Prima ballerina
    Entire universe on her toes
    Delicate beauty like a rose
    A figure...

Gallery of Words

A quick grasp on her beloved pen
Same energy just like back then
Paper, ink, and a cup of tea
New horizon to explore and see
Cluster of words quite entangled
Voluntarily they just mingled
In search of their rightful place
Longing for a warm...
