When dusk had come and embraced
Your world with venom kiss
You’d feel darkness coil
‘round you in its unending bliss.
So paralyzed your body of dreams
You would seem to feel;
Your life flowing streams
Slowly freezing cold-like steel
Then with drained strength and life
You would now stop to carry on
Yet your heart will cry pleading
You must have to go on.
Far, far deep with in your heart
Fierceness still is aflame
Like a solid flowing as a
Tiny frame of flame
Your heart would then cry
To shed drops of hot boiling tears
Melt and wash out from your soul
Fears for your errs and fears.

If the sun had set yet it’s the wrong
Road you’ve trudge on
Turn back before he could rise
Heart leads as you walk on.
After you loose wings
Set your soul free to fly
Even though your dam of course
And faith now runs dry.
A drop thought of hope could
Drown a raving flood of doubt
If you’ll take heed to your
crying heart’s whispering shouts
See your heart given-vent
to ever serene plangent;
Soundlessly your hear cries
over failings and laments.
Never can you hear your heart
cries for paragon start.
Unless you’d listen to the
faintest cry of your heart.

Forevermore
(Norlyn Morallos- ESSU)

Sometimes in my life
I was a total stranger of love
No one dare to let me know,
Just you…
For, I reject the feelings,
Yet you taught me how
I turned you down and returned to b loved
But you never give up…
And came to entice me
With your handsome smiles,
A million times…
I played the game certain not to lose
I’ve never come to burning flames
To those sweet whispering lips
For I have dreams…to realize
Though in my heart…I feel love
That caught me in the night,
And I surrender.
Beneath the moonlight shadow
You captured me
And took me to your heart,
As a woman… a wife…
And a mother with soft heart,
You make me
I was afraid…yes!
I don’t know what to do
At first…
Yet you taught me how…
Forevermore…I would thank you,
For coming into my life
I do…
Forevermore…I would love you,
For bringing me in paradise,
Where love exists
I swear…
In times of pain and bed of roses
I’ll stay beside you
For I’m yours…
Forevermore!

A Challenge
(Bulma – ESSU)

It’s really hard
To understand,
To believe,
Those simple words…
That hurt me so.
As if nothing
Can over heal them again.
I did try to be strong
And try to be strong
And try not to cry,
But emotion welled up inside me.
Cold tears from my eyes,
Pains of wounded pride.
Talking to myself,
Why are these people who are self-centered?”
thinking too much
of their own comfort and desire.
Abhor others for their peccadillo.
There were times I’d like to quit
but my friends told me so…
“you should not! Don’t give u.”
do the things you can
keep on fighting, never give up,
Someday you’ll win.

What’s my Fate?
(Ground Zero - LSU)

How I wish to make time run fast
To know who I will be at last.
Will I end up fulfilling my ambitions?
Or die without accomplishing my life’s mission?

I’m mad waiting for the exact date
Of when to unravel my fate.
All I want is a clearer picture
Of who will I be in the future.

The road I’m taking is very obscure.
Everything is still unsure.
I’m walking in a world full of question
And hoping someday I’ll discover the solution.

The pressure I feel is too high
Because many believe that I can fly.
What’s inside me is fear.
I’m afraid of ending up with my future unclear.

I’ve been working hard to nurture my tomorrow
So that somehow I’ll avoid sorrow.
I’ll be eager to continue my life’s sail
Because I definitely don’t want to fail.

I wish to fulfill their expectation
So I’m praying for Divine intervention
I will not resfrain to fight
To succeed, you must ask for God’s might.
