Merry / Happy Christmas!

 

“Merry Christmas.” Or “Happy Christmas.”

 

What is the real essence of Christmas?

In the midst of this darkest virus that cuts everything.

Is it the parties that we always attend?

Is it the gathering of families and friends?

Is it the gifts and money that we can collect?

Is it the enjoyment of the vacations or picnics outside your home?

Or is it the enjoyment of going malls or markets to buy toys or cloths or anything you want?

 

Really, what is the real essence of this Christmas in the midst of Pandemic?

Do you we really need to be Merry or Happy to celebrate it just like before?

Because we already forgotten the “TRUE ESSENCE” of this Merry / Happy Christmas.

It isn’t the parties, the gatherings, gifts and money, vacations or picnics or even going to malls or markets.

It is all about the celebration of the “BIRTH OF OUR JESUS CHRIST”.

The one that gives us Merry / Happy!

 

The birth of Jesus Christ is the one that we celebrate,

Though, forgotten as the world changes,

As the human changes; giving importance into materials things…

Rather thanking God, the father of all, and Mary, the mother of all.

For bringing forth ‘JESUS CHRIST’, OUR SAVIOR, into this world.

"Happy Birthday Jesus." This day is a Merry, Merry Christmas!

Wounds

 

They say; "everything heals in time."

As the body earn wounds: it heals,

Everything in time will heal in prime.

A heart may be broken though it heals,

In right moment; "everything heals in time."

Though it lives a scar that will never heals.

 

Wounds heal; scars mark.

Body wounds always stay behind,

Every scar lives with a spark.

Like a broken heart; it's hidden behind,

In time; wounds heal: scars mark.

Though the pain in wounds will lives behind.

 

In time in the right mark: heals.

Body will be tough and strong,

Everything in mark of challenges: deals.

You will stand up and be strong,

At the right times, at the right mark: heals.

Wounds create a mark yet it keeps you strong.

The Visions

 

There are visions invisible into the naked eyes.

A vision that can only be seen beyond;

Unexplained; Unexplored; Unexpected.

Is it a curse or a gift or just an art?

What is what?

Beyond the unseen; visions that hardly to believe.

What is the truth? What is real?

In each of the events happening around: as what the visions showed.

Slowly but surely, things happens unexpectedly.

It may be naked to others; yet clear to those who can see beyond.

This it the naked truth; the unbelievable.

The visions.

Jr.

A Promise

 

Humans do lots of promises.

That made to be broken.

Yet one promise will never be broken.

He said, "I'll always be here."

Simple word yet means a lot.

With His guidance and kind heart.

With His care and love for all of us.

He promises; He will never let us alone.

He will be our best cure in this nightmare.

So don't lose hope.

Pray wholeheartedly and He will save us all.

 

Jr.

 

 

Life Goes On

 There is a saying

"Expect the unexpected."

And it isn't lying

Things happen unexpected.

Without a warning

Everything stops.

Without a marking

Everybody stops.

 

We suddenly hide in shadows

Fear suddenly comes in front.

Keep ourselves in shadows

Change that hardly to confront.

 

With one word that lives on

It is a virus we never expect.

Change everything we live on

Our world changes with defect.

 

Still our eyes keep open

Day light never stop.

New beginning keeps open

We keep on living nonstop.

 

We greet each days with a smile

Finish the days with good night.

And thread it with everyday smile

We keep ourselves with delight.

 

This is how our life goes on

We might be overthrow with a virus.

We still keep living on

Our positive vibes is our strong antivirus.

 

Never let us down from this dark

We stay positive with hope.

Pray light will always prevail in mark

And our life goes on with strong hope.

Heart and Mind; Dreams Awake

 ...

 

Who listen; heart.

Who judge; mind.

 

 Who creates; dreams.

Who works; awakes.

Who speaks; heart.

Who thinks; mind.

Who looks deeper; dreams.

Who looks present; awakes.

Let your heart decide.

Not just a mind to judge.

Let your dreams come true.

Yet be awake from it to work.

Speak with your heart desire.

Think together with your mind.

Go deep not only in dreams.

Be in present to awake your desire.

Jr.

...

Wrong Judgment

 

In judging a person

Sometimes our sight darken,

Block our vision of truth.

 

Never know how to judge

Who is bad or good; we prejudge,

Close our heart for the truth.

 

Not knowing of the pain

That it may cause; which ruin,

One innocent person; that may holds the truth.

Tired Soul

 No matter how long I sleep,

I still feel tired and helpless.

No matter how long I rest,

I still feel helpless and restless.

My body might feel tired,

Though it's my soul feels worn out.

Not even a sleep can help,

Not even a rest can help out.

Jr.

Mystery

 

Mystery,

How mysterious you are?

How deep mystery you have?

Because sometimes,

I feel that I myself a mystery.

I feel my mind full of mysteries.

Like hell,

My mind is in chaotic.

Yet I'm in void with mystery.

Mystery,

What can I unfold once I solve you?

What else can I fulfill out of this void?

Jr.

A Dream of a Nightmare

 

You've come into my dreams,

Unexpected you invade my realms.

You give me memories,

Create moments to cherish.

That made me fall for you,

And I knew you know it too.

It felt so real enough to believe,

Though feel surreal enough to live.

You're like a ghost,

You'll come before you lost.

Without a trace,

You live me alone in this maze.

Then you've become a nightmare,

You just come and go with flare.

Live me alone in this dark,

Live me in this void without a mark.

Jr.

Memories

 

Tears may dry as it flows out,

Live without a trace.

Never last without a doubt.

 

Like a smile it worn out,

If fades without a trace.

Easy to fake but never sprout.

 

Like a laugh it will halt,

Fade away without a trace.

Feel like laugh is at fault.

 

Yet one thing will never halt,

Keep and restore lots of trace.

That last forever in assault.

 

Memories is a lifetime,

That keeps with so much trace.

That last forever in time.

 

Never fade in a lifetime,

Engrave deep to trace.

Live forever in prime.

 

Jr.

 

 

"TIME"

 

SomeTIMEs the most precious thing,

Is what we always forget.

That someTIMEs we spend it all wrong,

That lost our chance to cherish those TIMEs.

We might want our TIMEs the most,

Yet we use it at the worst.

Jr.

My Best Friend

 

 We are friends

Though we are apart,

Still we stay friends

In spirit and in heart,

No distance can keep us apart.

We are friends

Never in blood,

Still we stay friends

A family for good,

Even we're not related in blood.

You are my friend

My sibling, my family,

My only best friend

Always be here in sadness, in jolly,

You are a part of my family.

My only best friend.

Jr.

We're Just Friends

 

 

Here we go again

Going in circle,

Go in and out of my brain.

 

Once again

My world goes round,

It makes me insane.

 

With just a simple hi

We start talking,

That flatters me high.

 

With just small word

I start to dream,

Though your words is like a sword.

 

You flatter my heart

Yet it cuts like a knife,

That sets us apart.

 

How I wish you never start

Without talking to begin,

I will not hurt.

 

It may be special to me

But for you I'm just a friend,

Yet I cannot shout my plea.

 

You will never see me

Never as a woman,

I'll always be just a friend to see.

 

Jr.

 

X : Ruin

 

 Sometimes you just came unexpected,

That makes my world go round.

Looking right through my eyes,

I fall all over for you without intend.

You made my life as if it is complete,

But in the end you are the one to ruin it.

That Sometimes of your unexpected,

My world put into chaos of sorrow.

With your eyes that slowly fading,

I follow even into the deep of hallow.

Making it complete now and after,

You came just to ruin it so badly.

Jr.

Measure

Why do you need to measure?

If you're short or long,

If you're light or heavy,

If you're small or large,

Would it be matter?

If you're already suffering,

Crying in silence,

Trying to fit in,

Continue fixing yourself,

Would it be really matter?

Why don't you try accepting who you are?

To respect yourself,

To care for yourself,

And to love yourself,

Because it matter most.

You should step up,

Learn to measure not what you see,

Learn to measure what is your worth,

Because you are worth a lot,

No measurement can measure who you really are.

Jr.

The Imperfection of Beauty

 

Sometimes,

Change will never be enough.

To hide some stuff,

That you roughly wanted to undone.

 

Simply,

Come out of your shelf.

Try to embrace your real self,

And learn to accept yourself.

 

Because,

No matter how perfect you are.

How much you wanted to be rare,

The imperfection will come out in flare.

 

Imperfection,

Doesn't mean you are ugly.

Sometimes it's sweetest than honey,

Because being imperfect is the essence of a true beauty.

Sacrifice

 

Is it great if you know the meaning behind all those sacrifices?

Rather than to feel each pain and sorrow it cast.

Rather than to let yourself drown in deep, alone and suffocating.

And regret each of those sacrifices you had made.

Why don't you see the bright side of it?

The reasons behind the sacrifices you had made.

The reason why sacrifices should be done and still doing.

It is because you sacrifice not for your own happiness.

You sacrifice because it is for the sake of someone else.

It is for your family.

So don't ever feel regret, might be it is something to aspire.

Because all your sacrifices are the greatest achievement you had made.

Dynamite in The Sky

 

 Night might be dark

You may lost through,

Live without a mark

But you keep going through.

 

 Because you believe

There will be a guide,

That shines above to live

A light to give guide.

 

For you the sky shines bright

Like diamond in the sky,

It explodes to give light

Like a dynamite in the sky.

Promise and Trust

An act of promise

Is like an act of trust,

Promises might break

As trust can be break.

It's like a sweetest act of promise

And a dangerous game for trust,

That is meant to be lies

And trust might fall in lies.

A dangerous word of promise

That act as one in trust,

And gives you a high hopes

But always give you loss hopes.

Jr.

Okay?

Life goes on

Continue to move on.

Though life hurts

You hold back all it hurts.

Hide behind those smiles

Pretend behind those smiles.

Silently cry in pain

Live in pain.

That slices you through deep

Cut you through deep.

Still you keep telling 'I'm okay'

Though the truth 'I'm not okay'.

Jr.

Life

Life

Is like water,

It continues to drown

Without water in present.

Dive

Into deep underwater,

That keeps you down

Continue to suffocate with intent.

A mystery of life

That continues to slaughter,

Yet never let you drag down

Keep you alive so unpleasant.

Life

Is like water,

It continues you to drown

Never let you live in pleasant.

Jr.

I Am Fear

I am Fear

A name that can burn,

A name that you do not want to learn.

Let us be insane,

And let us live with all these pain.

I Miss You

I miss you

The worst feeling I ever have,

I miss you

The last thing I need to crave.

I want you

The last thing I wanted to feel,

I want you

The last word I would peel.

I hate you

Is the first word I wanted to say,

I hate you

So much I just wanted to relay.

I still miss you

Even though I hate you,

I still miss you

And I wanted to see you.

I want you back

Helplessly wanted you to return,

I want you back

Anxiously waiting for your turn.

I beg you

To come back to my arms,

I beg you

To let me be in your charms.

However, you

Never came back,

However, you

Paint my world in black.

Now I miss you

So bad I wanted to cry,

Now I miss you

So mad it is hard to say goodbye.

All I want is to be with you

To feel you once again,

All I want is to be with you

Even though it would be hard to gain.

I miss you

I simply miss you,

I miss you

Is all I could say to you.

Doubt

Here lies the name I don't want to say,

Even to hear I don't want too

Although it introduce itself in me.

Meet me and know me better, it says,

Though I don't want too

It makes my life in grief.

Doubt is my name, it says,

Now I doubt to find my peace

I doubt, I could never find my happiness.

Doubt gives me more insecurities,

It drives me crazy

Now how can I escape you?

Each time I wake up,

Doubt never live my side

It always welcomes me with a cold hug.

Frustration starts to fill,

As if it introduce me to another friend

I doubt, doubt will never live me.

I don't want to be doubt's friend,

I want to meet my confidence

To live doubt behind.

Build up my courage,

To stand up between my doubts

To free myself in doubts.

However in the end of it all,

Doubt became a part of my life

And I doubt it will be a pain in my life.

Jr.

"Who Are You?"

What keeps you in my mind?

That makes me blind.

You keep popping into my head,

And I don't know what is ahead.

You were like a bubble,

Pops out in ramble.

Takes out my curiosity,

However you were out of my vicinity.

How may I able to meet you?

If you hide yourself from the dark bayou.

Show up for a moment,

Live without a comment.

You were like an illusion,

Without any solution.

Who are you?

Is what I ask of you.

Though you never answer,

You just give me a disaster.

You always come and go,

Never let me to know.

Always there whenever I need,

Save me in speed.

You are something unexpected,

Never expected.

Make me to think of you,

Even though I never know you.

Jr.

Mary (Holy One)

For a moment,

I was enchanted in Your beauty and grace.

I didn't know what to do,

What to say and think.

I just froze seeing You in front of my eyes.

Standing,

Glowing with shining light that never hurt my eyes.

I am so dazzle,

I couldn't believe I am seeing You.

I myself wonder why You showed up.

Of all people,

I am one of the worst.

Darkness resides on me,

I am not pure and clean as what You are.

However you came into my sight.

Glowing with light,

You came to me.

You approach me with Your sweet smile,

With Your loving and caring gesture.

I never knew if I am the right one.

Why me?

I asked myself many times.

Still,

No answers can be found.

That I fear.

A fear that breaks me,

And I keep myself not listening.

Cover my ears as You speak,

Yet my eyes keep looking at You.

Mesmerize on you.

I am no body,

But You came in.

Showed up into my front,

And speaks to me.

Not through my ears but through my heart.

I might not be the right one,

The good and the bad reside in me.

Though I pray,

For my heart isn't corrupted.

By the darkness resides in me.

I might be asking,

With questions I will not answer.

Although,

Please my heart.

Listen for what She wanted to say.

Guide me,

I pray deeply.

For whatever happens,

It may not be happen.

With Her guide and love, please pray,

As what She wanted to convey to every one of us.

My Jewel

For the years I've been living

I didn't intend to search,

Never intend of choosing

You just came into my reach.

You're like a jewel that hard to find

That I want to keep by my side,

Because you are one of a kind

I want to keep you in one stride.

Though I don't want you to be broken

You are complete with your jaded pace,

A jewel that needs with care not to be fallen

Now how can I hold you without breaking your grace?
