frozen flame

walalang#7

Hear from this penitent’s heart,
serenades that some say
are worthless
now that you are gone...
But the distance
only commands crescendo!
This man,
this soul, still seeks
to be one with yours.
Will you listen once more?
Will your heart beat as fast as mine?
It once did.
And I sing
at the thought of those days.

walalang#6

Smile for me though I can’t see
The subtle curves of your lips
The silky slope of your brows
The spellbinding bend of your eyes.

In the distance, the mere thought of you
Exhilarates, breathes life to a gasping soul.
I was a ship lost in the sea of indecision.
Tossed to and fro, oblivious,
Left to the mercy of what was beyond.

Then like an ephemeral wind, you took me by the helm
And in a fleeting moment, steered me back to direction.

Then you are gone.

Now where I’m headed, I know not
But faith assures my arrival.

I am a ship, in this empty sea.
Alone.
I sail on the course you have shown.
A voyage bound to shore
To a place where I wish you will be there
To blow on my sails forever…

And imagination ends.

walalang#5

Azure waves paint your smile
in dreamy clouds when my eyes are closed
Do you feel this longing?
Do you feel how cold it is where I am
without you?

While drunken you are
with the laughs you seek,
the smiles you wear mask the truth
your heart is too numb to feel.

How quick doth love depart a soul?
As quick as man soils his
senses with the wiles of the world.
Or am I the one marred?

If I am, am I alone?
Have I not been
through the depths of torment?
Have I not tasted
of your absence enough?

If death is anything
It is this.
It is this distance.

But I still live.
For the love I feel for you
is the very air I breathe.

While you are still at arms reach
I pray.
Deny not these shores.
Deny not the love I give.

But if only to prove that this ardor
Is deeper than the sea where you gaily drift
I shall swim across
just to make you feel one last time

That you have already found
the harbor you seek
right here
in my arms.

walalang#4

They sneer at my pain,
belittle what I am now.
God bless their hearts
for they doth see
nothing but skin.
They see nothing but now.
Someday
They will bow.
And when they have
finally seen what this
cocoon covers,
they will weep.
But with my wings
I shall console.
And then will they feel
that I truly loved.

walalang#3

inside me the flame burns.

words suffice not to explain

how the mere thought of you

consumes every bit of me

until only dreams remain.

i am left dust in the breeze

that is your voice.

walalang#2

melting away
im a candle losing light
drifting on this ocean
im slowly losing sight
of you

giving in
to the bitter cold of night
im quickly losing grip
losing the will to fight
for you

can't you see
the truth is in my eyes
and soon the reason for
this feeling's sweet demise
is you

when will the waiting end?
when will the wounds heal?
when will you be mine?
when will my dreams be real?

my friend the sea

by felvz

i embraced the sea again

breathed in the calming breeze

listened to the soothing serenade of the surf

walked over a carpet of a billion diamonds

a reunion with a beloved refuge

nothing compares to the comfort

my old friend gives.

Ballad for a  Rose

by felvz

I came upon a fine garden one day.

I walked inside to see if there’s a place to stay

just to spend time and kill some idle moments.

I was lucky

there was space for me.

I looked around for wonderful things to see.

I walked amidst the bushes, trees, and shrubs,

then I came upon this magnificent rose.

Hw red and dazzling it was.

It greeted me with a fervent smile

with its beaming, blooming, red petals.

I couldn’t help but smile back.

The flower left me in awe…

it was pretty beyond all that I saw.

I said to myself

“Oh how i would like to take you home…

nothing else in this garden

but you alone…

put you in a vase

and call you my own.”

I stared, and stared, and stared

as I sat before the rose.

But time flies.

Andd like lightning it goes.

I soon had to leave the garden

for i’m needed somewhere else.

“You’d still be here tomorrow, I suppose.

I’ll be back ‘til then to watch you pose…

goodbye for now my lovely rose.”

The flower since then I could never forget.

It haunted me throughout the night.

I couldn’t wait to go back to the garden

and behold of its comely sight…

And so the sleepless night passed,

my waiting finally ended.

Sunbeams signaled a new day,

thoughts all suspended.

I arose from my bed.

I fixed myself and went ahead

to the garden so green

where the radiant rose I have seen.

I entered.

I hurried to the place,

to that little spot

where the rose with all its grace

bewildered my puny little heart.

I found it.

There it was.

It gleamed gloriously as ever.

Right then I knew I would forget it never.

I stared, and stared, and stared

as i sat before the rose.

Oh how I wished and prayed

that nobody else knows

of the little beauty I found in the garden.

For losing my lovely rose

I would not want to happen.

And I thought to myself

“I have to take it home,

nothing else in the garden but it alone,

put it in a vase and call it my own.”

I was about to pluck the beauty

to take it home with me.

But I paused

when from nowhere came a bee.

Oh how the rose glowed with joy

when the bee it did see.

The bee hovered,

danced, and shuffled

over the rose.

And the lovely flower watched in delight

as the bee fluttered with all its might.

It landed upon the blossom’s face

as if giving it a warm, tender embrace.

It smothered my rose with kisses

as if the flower it really misses

so much…

A tear rolled down my cheek

I felt suddenly meek,

hushed by the scene.

It was something I knew not

or something I just forgot

to consider

My heart went asunder.

the rose and the bee…

they belong together.

I threw you the obvious
and you flew with it on your back,
a name in your recollection,
thrown down among a million same.

It's difficult not to feel a little bit
disappointed and passed over
when i've looked right through
to see you smiling and oblivious
and you don't see me.

But i threw you the obvious
just to see if there's more behind the eyes
of a fallen angel,
the eyes of a tragedy.

Here i am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded.
but i see through it all
i see through
and see you.

so i threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind
the eyes of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy.
oh well. apparently nothing.
you don't see me.
you don't see me at all.

"My Moon"
by felvz

Once you seemed to me
a smile adrift a backlit canopy
You were lovely then
breathtaking...
even more so now
in praise to you the heavens bow

Once you seemed to me
a lucent boat afloat a sable sea
You were lovely then
breathtaking...
even more tonight
caress my face with beams so bright

Once you seemed to me
a glowing cradle underneath a tree
You were lovely then
breathtaking...
even more this time
come fill my heart with faith sublime

Each night reveals a different you
as time unfolds a clearer view
Though fade you must, I will be strong
My moon please don't be gone for long

The distance set between us two
provides for me a better view
Though wait I must, 'til I can fly,
I'll kiss my moon before I die!
