1- What is poetry? Why did you choose poetry for self-expression? Poetry is a lyric of a cascading emotion flowing like every expressive soul's music. It is an artistic creation within that touches, inspires, and uplifts the spirit of both the writer and the readers. For me, good poetry is not measured by how deep every word being put together but by how many emotions one's heart speaks into writing. I have lately discovered being bestowed of such a wondrous endowment. After doing my first few creations, I found out that it could be a way to depict my oozing emotions, to let myself burst of all my feelings untold to splendidly touch some souls considering my humble being has gotten the wisdom brought by humility and life experiences. People who love to read and write poetry are passionate creations in the name of love and art. It is wonderful to share with this kind of individual. The other reason why I am choosing poetry  is I consider this art as one of the marvelous anci

Cometh the day For you and me When each of us Will turn to Ash Such then our lives Will be terminated To leave this beautiful earth. No one else is exempted. This is what we feared of This life will be drained of Our smiles that glamour Could be seen no more The treasure we greed Will all on earth be left. We have a lot of things. Undone and undiscovered There are lessons to teach. And a dreams of reaching. But when our time comes. Our clock will no longer run. We are then nothing at all. But our mere self made soul.

An aroma of an untiring breeze Whirls into my churning thoughts In every corner of my undying heart  I smell you... sufficed my entire soul You are a wondrous mystery flowing. In this marvelous spring of love You are a river chasing destiny. With the flow of my melting breath Moments became treasured memories. In my deepest core to keep safe Forevermore.. a vow of my heart. Till my heart has nothing to speak

Sa akong madasigong paglakbay Paingon sa sandayong nagdagayday Sa tubig magtagbaw akong pangindahay Gihandom bation ang tumang kahayahay Sa akong paghulom sa mga buswak Sa iyahang kinaiyahang dinahili Sa panit kung uhaw ningdapat ang matag bul-og nga way pagdumili O madigayaong tubig, mahimo bang mosuhop ka sa kinauyokang bahin sa akong dughan? Mahimo ba nga pukawon mo ang nahikatulog kong kasingkasing sa iyang kanailadman? Ayaw imakuli kanaku ang silaw sa banaag Kuhaig kusog ang mga butang nakababag Nga unta ipatagamtam mo kanako Ang bidlisiw nga walay katapusan Sama sa maalamon nga kalag  ug espiritung puno sa tumang kinaadman O masaganahon ug mapagarbohong tubig Kaanindot sa mabugnaw nimo nga talsik Ang imong kanaas sama sa hunghong  nga makaalim sa akong mga kasakit Dagaydayi akog kusog nga makigbatok  sa unsa man nga hangkat sa ugma Pakatuloga ug papahulaya  ang nag-alindasay kong kabalaka O tubig nga nagdagayday Pagkatam-is mangindahay

Whilst listening to the sweet music from the radio The engine of my heart has ignited moving aglow On my lovely Sunday morning my heartbeats were waving Through its beautiful tone its sequence touched my soul Ohhh... My dreams were freshened. My fantasies have glistened. My smiles were full of meaning. My silent soul couldn't contain In most maximum, I felt my inner passion My thoughts were full of illusion Old songs which I fondly listened Beckoned me to hold my quiet pen And I started to write my innermost emotion Which wonderfully engraved into my soul's most profound passion

If I could just  give you my heart To let you see the marvel Of its tantalizing art If I could just give you my life To add enough glow and spice If I could just let you lend my soul You'll share your light heavenly full What I have to thank for in life... You're allowing myself to rise. Your generosity of time spent with me In which my loneliness turns to glee Into which I always needed most In a moment of sadness and remorse When life is not in sort of my favor I wish one day I could return in whole And you will wake up one morning With me in your side sweetly smiling

I can read between your lines.  In every space of your few words I can read your wishful soul.  Still taking my heart in gentle. Talk to me as spring so clear. That falls in its astounding sheer. As the blissful water drops Why you are controlling much That mundane desire of your heart Tell me and never be afraid. To accept you're also so much in bleed. As I can tell freely from my heart I love you, and no one can make me stop. And I will continue telling you this. Wondrous emotion engraved my soul. As I enraptured you to my core As we nurtured these to reminisce Our remarkable past silently flourished. If I could just cut those memories Like a film so that I have nothin' to keep and to remember within Unselfishly I wish.. for your sake So that you can have your breath  Without my love engulfing your spirit But I can't... .....So let me be myself.

I am not rich but I feel the richest I lack so many things. Yet I feel complete I don't have everything. But I feel the happiest. I see around all the beauties. Yet, I feel the prettiest. I am not a lovely queen...Yet, I feel I have a crown on my head. I haven't seen real angels. But I smell their breath. The flocking of their wings... I hear their wonders through you. All my beautiful and unseen friends... And I smile..., and I shed tears...

Give me the air to breathe for others' lives. Lend me the sight for them to see through my eyes Let me see clearly what's behind that blue mountain. The exciting rolling wheel of life hopefully could be foreseen. Whisper me the meaning of that summer crying clouds Why those cute hummingbirds are singing aloud? Tell me why the waves ebbing sadly on a silent shore. Answer me why the breeze smiles as it maneuvers in its direction Then. .. You whisper me the sign how to mend their grievances. You ask me to show them how beautiful the world is By teaching them to embrace the pain of their wounded spirits That through loving and forgiving, we're living a life full of grace.e Helen ~~~~((*_*))~~~~ Samal Island, Davao City
