Poem: A Self-Delineation

A SELF-DELINEATION

Wanton lips, embed in an uncorrupted mien

Thin gams, spare arms, utterly lean

With hair blowzy, always on a pony

A simple, naive confirmation with an unwonted story

Timid and reticent at first sight

Flaming and aggressive deep down inside

Appeared contented and worry-free for the future

Still delving for truth, craving for adventure

Moves, often at leisure, too feminine

Fulfilling them with grace and success in serene

Though creative imaginations flow freely her thoughts

But her doubts and fears are perplexing her both

Endless dreams, constant inspiration

Invincible principles, self-declared limitations

All contouring the pathway she had stepped upon

Pursuing and enduring what she had begun

Bestowed with gifts that others may also have

Using them all for happiness and love

Cruising over one's unsure destiny

And discovering the veracity of life's mystery

Life, whiles cruel, full of imperfections

Still living to the fullest without hesitations

In the absence of beauty, her sweetness and simplicity reigns

Donning a smile above all gains and pains

Uncover what lies beneath her frailty:

A heart of gold, a simon-pure personality

My Realization:

This poem was composed a decade and 5 years ago. This self-definition have changed through the years.  It is quite ridiculous reminiscing back how our younger years were challenging, unstable and somewhat dramatic. But those circumstances we have encountered have magnanimously helped us mold the kind of person that we are now at present, a better version of our then feeble, juvenile selves.

i Write: As I Wait

I am sharing another poem that I have written several years ago.

AS I WAIT...

Days from now we will part,

But not the mind nor the heart;

Let no tears bedew my cheeks, 

Nor allow the heart feel ruptured and weak.

The love we share is not evanescent nor ephemeral;

This love is forever, and thus, eternal.

While I wait,

Overwhelming emotions, I create;

Impassibly, showing euphoria,

Clandestinely, is overwhelming nostalgia.

And as I wait,

I hold on to your vows,

And on the promises that we once wrote on the clouds.

i Write: Life is Bittersweet

Aside from essays, I have also written several poems in the past, and here's one of them.  

LIFE IS BITTERSWEET

Rising up to meet a brand new day;

Is something that will not forever stay.

We may be waking up today, yet still unsure to see tomorrow;

So it is best to laugh aloud now, before we die in sorrow.

We aspire for all the good things in life;

But life is imperfect and we cannot avoid strife.

When sufferings assail us, we call on God;

For He is our hope, our only life blood.

Let us remain contented of what we have;

Learn to understand and begin to love.

Let us have faith in ourselves and in our neighbor;

For a tranquil harvest of the fruits of our labor.

Let us try not to seek of what is not there;

Instead, embrace what we get and acknowledge that life is not at all times fair.

And no matter of the umpteen storms we will meet;

Stay calm, have courage and accept that life is bittersweet.

i Write - Where Fate and Faith Brings Me

I have decided now to make this blog to be an outlet for some of my literary works that were originally written several years ago.  During my younger years, I have engaged myself profoundly to literary composition from poems to essays.  My literary works were results of either emotional struggles or by-products of my hyperactive thinking then.  

Where Fate and Fate Brings Me

There is so much out there that awaits us, that destiny is a part of life’s mystic aspect.  I do know that not everyone will agree with me to such kind of thinking.  But the world was created round, keeping so much mystery from all of us.   

We cannot see what is on the other side of it so we have to come out from our shells and strongly face the providence that was laid for us and traverse any boundaries that will possibly obstruct such path.  That is why I believe somehow in fate.  Life can be changed in a split second with the kind of destiny that is maybe meant for us.   

 We may think that the type of life we are living now is “this is it!”. But you know what; we cannot dictate the directions to where our lives are heading to. We may be the bearer of our lives but we do not own it.  We should be grateful enough to be blessed with such wonderful gift – a life which allows us to breathe, to laugh, to mourn, to live and to love.

If you have fathom your own lives, you may have realized that there are events that we planned so hard yet came out to have a different conclusion and instances that we cannot really take control of.  And this is where destiny comes in and maybe it was God who formulated it. 

Destiny may be a part of the mysterious ways life conveys.  And, wherever fate and faith will bring me, I will care less.  But I will be more patient with my eyes wide open, and with a tough conviction that destiny interferes by surprise and twists the normalcy of our lives to something amazing or into a mischance.
