IT’S FINALLY YOU

It’s you, that I am always searchin’

Part of my younger years that has never been,

And will never be obliterated.

It’s you, that I’m longing

Your grumpiness and silence,

I’ve been missing.

It’s you, the only one who filled my fictitious world

That I’m your only antagonist,

And you’ve been always my protagonist

And finally, this chapter has been revived

In a world of different settings;

Reality, it is.

And still, it’s you who brings back the genuine smile on my lips.

Those fascinating discourse

Put sounds on my giggles.

It’s you, the reason that I’ve almost ignore the tick n’ tock of my world

And in my deep sleep;

Dreamin’ this wonderful story of us.

It’s you, that my heart will only recognized

Platonic and romantic; separated continents

It truly beats.

And if the time comes, it’ll only be you

Whom I’d share with my pillows and blankets

The one that I’ll spend with the exquisiteness of twilight.

Until we’re grey and old

I would still say,

This story of us, indeed wonderful;

It’s finally you,

Kenneth Irvin.

REVERENCE TO GOD

To you my Almighty Father,

I wake up each day; full of gratefulness

For this given life, wonderful and mysterious

You alone,

Gives everything

Provides the answer, whenever I call.

You listen,

In my cry and voice of fears

But never leave.

You rescue,

When I’m in despair and grief,

Lend your hand and lead me to the path of light.

You heal,

Whenever I’m vulnerable

Takes away the pain and covers me with your immeasurable love

You teach,

The knowledge and wisdom for survival

To share the truth and justice in humanity.

You give,

Without expecting but faithfulness,

For I truly believed in your grace.

You love,

The most genuine and infinite

That no one, but only you can give.

I adore you my Almighty God

My heart and soul

With all my life.

SHADOW IN MY DREAM

Silence of tonight,

Makes me fall asleep.

I hear nothin’ but the noise,

Made by the geckos wandering all over my walls.

I fall into my deep sleep,

With my hopes and dreams

Lots of desires to fulfill,

For tomorrow’s awaiting.

This restless body and lethargic mind,

Feels the comfort of my pillows and blanket.

Then, few hours of tranquility

I suddenly awake,

In an empty dim room.

And there’s a shadow standing in front of me

I tried to converse with him but, I just hear nothing.

He remained standing for a while

While I’m still confounding to where am I.

Then, it disappeared hastily.

I feel the movement of my body

Then I open my eyes; full of moist

I notice the brightness of morn,

Then, I realize that,

It’s just a dream.

But, I’m still wondering why

There’s a great desolation within

When that shadow in my dream

Left with words of nothin’.

THORNS OF ROSES

It is confection of memoirs, reciprocal affection and amusement

That bind the souls toward the path of red roses

They were carried hastily, by their naked hearts.

Unfathomable kind of merriment; filled with the scarlet hue

Til the moments of dullness,

Those red roses started to wither; redness slowly fades

Intervention of roses’ thorns; firmly grippin’

Thus, its random altering becomes excruciating

All the wounds made by thorns, attain into depth

And this path lead by the roses

Vivid hue of petals, has been faded

Vows of the souls are now tattered,

It’s the thorns of roses.

I CALLED HER NAME - VANESSA

I remember a courageous woman

Who valorously traveled the path of her journey

A woman who carried her faith and aspirations

With the intent of living her dreams

To finally seek the essence of life’s purpose

I remember her as being modest

Who’s wearing the simplicity of life

She has the greatest genuine smile for everyone,

Lips that speaks for love and joy

And eyes that sees all the beauty of her world

I remember her exquisite beauty

Her enthralling gestures of being a woman

And the propitiousness of her heart

I will always remember her name, Vanessa.
