🌟 LET US AGE GRACEFULLY 🌟   Let us age gracefully and leave a beautiful legacy.   We have learned so many things in life. Darlings, that is the greatest gift we could ever find. 💝   As we journey in this wonderful universe, our perspectives may contradict each other's verse.   Sometimes our thoughts are not aligned, no matter how we want to make them bind. 🤝   But still, we can create very altruistic lines. We have an endowment that glitters for a lifetime. ✨   Let not our souls slumber for long. Let us not waste time for unworthy reasons.   Be the instrument to bridge broken ties, and watch our spirits take their rise.   Kindness is warmth and fortitude, It is a glorious and gracious gratitude.   Reaching to the moon and back, Love, and let no barriers be stuck.   Imperfections make us real humans, but our hearts are proven to be wonderful ones,   encapsulating the goal of the human race. Let us make it with a sunshine gl...

My back aches with sweet pain Never do I lose, but rather gain A message from my inner core Conveyed by this painting I adore   Colored mountains grace this space Tranquil, wonderful, and full of grace Calm waters smile in abundant bliss Warm my heart with a sealed kiss   My hands are tired, yet blessed indeed For beautiful nature I can plant and seed With mystical treasure bestowed on me A gift from the good Lord above, so free ~ME Helen Sarita  

When my art speaks, it says nothing but love, it smiles to your heart, red as blood,   silence yet fierce, ready to whisper by the language of the universe, the hues smile uniquely, know no bounds, their ubiquity, priceless and magical, mazeless and mystical, brave and altruistic, wisdom couldn't be denied. ~ME Helen A. Sarita 

Tranquil scenery sufficed through my longing, waiting for hours to witness the sun to set. In the process, never waste the time as it rolls... as the shimmering shadow whispers the moon’s crest. The crimson hue of the western sky starts to appear, the tinted wave of the sea listens to its magic. Enigmatic beat of my heart makes its craze; I smile. I don’t want to think deep on this mystery... yet just let it be.   Deep emotion and wild imagination visited me as I long, deviating my thoughts to the ebb coming to the shore. Whilst people were busy with Christmas celebration, I am alone far away from home; as the sky outside turns gloom, I am hollow and blue, and my silent tears stream down. Yet this is life that blends with my maturity, it has to be embraced. I understand I am blessed and lucky. I am a stellar with wings that soars tenaciously; it’s Christmas that dwells in my heart, come what may. ~ME HelenSarita

 A Poem For You, Boy   You haven't seen me ever in your life holding a paintbrush, You had no idea that I can express through color blush; If you had seen me playing with plenty hues over the plain canvas, You would be my top fan, shouting on the varicolored silent grass. ME Helen A. Sarita

 My Bougainvillea   In my garden, I see my flowers blooming, Not so full, but enough to soothe my eyes. They are Bougainvillea with different colors— Dark pink and light pink, mixed together so nicely.   Some branches reach high up to the sky, Others dangling and touching the ground. But whether they are high or low, They all give beauty and make my garden glow.   Just like people I know in life, Some stand tall and proud, Some are humble and quiet. But we need them all to see the beauty.   Life is not always smooth and easy. There are challenges and people who test us. But these things make us strong, And make us eager to prove that they can be wrong.   True wisdom is not just from four corners of our classrooms, But it comes from God, it is spiritual and deep. He lets us see meaning in simple things, And helps us understand our lives' beautiful story.   We must be observant, we must ponder deeply And connect everything to our souls. Because even in s...

 Illusions...   Be a queen, smile with a full bless.   Be a queen with pure heart that everyone feels light to be with you.   They feel you are you. They feel you as their comfort.   Your way of speak is like a song to their souls. You are a queen because your eyes speaks a lot of meaningful words.   You are a queen because people find you like a home. They love to lean your shoulder.   Your voice is like a magic of angels. Your thoughts carry the beauty of the world.   And you walk like you own a beautiful kingdom.. ~ME Helen A. Sarita

I would like to say something about what I feel right now, connected to my garden. I don't know if it will become a poem, an essay, or just a little story. But here it is, impromptu, straight from my heart.   I look around the whole area, every corner of my garden, and I am grateful for the gray sky that I am gazing up at right now. It is a message that the day is about to end, and the night will come.   I see this house, which is a home. I love it to be filled with my children and also my grandchildren. I remember when they were small, and now they are grown up, they are now teenagers! It makes me so happy because I am not just a happy mom, but I am also a happy grandmother!   I love the green garden that surrounds me right now. Even with the scorching heat of the sun, they are still thriving to exist. They are fighting for life because they know that they are my joy, my delight.   It is silent here. It wraps my heart with so much contentment.   I love the dark...

You are a part of me. We journey together like leaves blowing in the valley of Paradise. 🍃🍃   We hear and sing the same song. Even though we are apart, our hearts feel each other’s call, even when we are alone.   I see you among the crowd. I smell your lovely aroma, though we are miles away apart. 🌸   You are cherished by day and night. Even in your absence, I can feel your presence near.   Because... You are the lyrics my soul sings. And your love is the music within my heart. 🎶❤️ ~ME HelenSarita 

Now I understand that to create a poem — I am not just writing, I am automatically reciting what my heart flows at the moment.   I realize that once you open your heart and see the beauty of the world, you can say so many things. Your thoughts flow like a river.   You don't need to think hard and force the words. It is just there, coming from your heart.   Ready to be composed. Ready to delight the world. Ready to speak to their hearts.   And more importantly, ready to give light and shine, flowing from your deepest core.   Ready to glow like a fountain in the wilderness, pure and natural. ~ME HelenSarita 

I have chosen a different path. From writing poetry, letting my grammar flow even with flaws, I poured my heart full of sincerity.   So that it will penetrate many hearts  Not for them to see the flow of my words, But to see the beauty of my soul, And the charisma of how I adjust myself to the world.   I am flexible. Ready to accept criticism. Ready to be judged. All these, I truly respect from my heart.   The humility that I carry lifts me up.   Even if I wanted to hide myself, it will naturally shine.   It does not need affirmation. It is simply who I am.   Smiling from within. Speaking with art. Glowing my heart. And feeding my soul. ~ME Helen Sarita

 Poetry belongs to art. There is a technique on how to write it beautifully.   But my voice today flows directly from my heart. And here it says: Do not be mindful of writing it perfectly, because perfection hinders your flow. It will stop the cascades of your soul.   Just be YOU in doing things and expressing yourself.   Let it be YOU who conquers judgmental eyes. Let that be you to shine more than anyone else.   YOUR LIGHT IS STRONGER THAN THEIR OPINIONS!    Because when they judge you, they will also wonder: "How can she write so incredibly?"   They need their ink to sway gracefully... But you... you just simply be ME Dance like a whirling dervish.    The most beautiful thing, and the most beautiful route, is to follow the command of your soul. ~ME Helen A Sarita 

This is Filipino Poets and Blossoms, where we all bloom together. A beautiful shelter for poets.   Once it was full of life. But I silenced myself for a long time. I rested in peace, contemplating and finding myself.   Yet some people wished for me to return. Since they know i own this beautiful abode.   I was just silent when things went wrong. I have nothing to prove and nothing to fight  I am just protecting my peace And I just love to love.   It is just a beautiful flaw that won't harm anyone's heart.   And I understand now... Silence is power. Power to conquer. Power to love. Power to be ME. ~ME Helen A Sarita 

Where are you, my dearest friends?   Come! Go out from your comfort zone Let us gather here again.   Let us celebrate the brightness of the world.    Let no one divide us. Let us conquer negative thoughts. Let us refresh the beauty of love burning in our hearts.    As long as you feel it is beautiful to inspire... Don't hide your feelings within.   You are needed. The world needs you. The world is waiting for you to come.   Speak the beauty of your heart... And you will be heard YOU WILL BE HEARD.    Listen, laugh, and live!  HELEN SARITA 

  I claim this is my house. It was created during the pandemic.   I feel I have the authority to take care of this, even though I left this abode for quite a while.   But I can just come here, guided by experience and humanity.   I smile because I know who I really am.   You see, poetry isn't just being bold because you know how to write well. It is an expression of our soul, shining through our words.   We learn here. We made friends, and those friends are kept forever in our hearts.   I feel special. I am composed because I know what to spread: Only the goodness of time that has molded us to become better.   Yet I am simply back here right now to show my beautiful smile and showcase the love that we all feel within our hearts.   I will stay in this beautiful shelter With or without anyone with me As I can firmly stand   I love the stillness of my being. Standing strong behind the storm, whatever the weather may be.   Not affected ...
