Silent Scourge (Poem on Cancer)

My heart aches with proverbial twinge, 
Indescribable pain engulfed thy spirit 
Debilitating soreness transformed me into wilted point 
Dismal abyss overwhelmed unspoken woe. 


Moan of anguish welled out from my soul 
Adversity crippled the future 
Fallen hopes and must-haves faded with the coil 
Entangled thoughts flooded my essence. 

Hope is such a distant refuge 
Safe haven uttered of deep prayer 
Evil cancer- an unspoken foe 
Silently metastasis and tissues torn in ragged pieces. 

Life is in pain 
Healing is such a distant word 
Agony nagged thy fragility 
Chemo wrenched whatever optimism is left. 

Nay, body won’t succumb to trepidation 
Lest I’ll be beaten by the silent cursed 
Illness that plagued won’t consume me 
In misery thy frail body won’t acquiesce.

Magnificent Nature (Poem)

By Lawrys Erren
Sec 2 Victory

Silence, Peace,
It was all that you could feel in the breeze.
It is what basically nature is,
All full of joy and bliss.


Flowers dance delightfully,
Like little children filled with glee.
Bunny rabbits come out of their burrows,
Hopping around no trace of sorrows.


Old trees stand tall,
Towering above them all,
Providing protection
Oh, yes, like a mansion.

Animals protect their kind,
It will blow your mind
With teamwork and skill.
Sad, we kill them still.

Don’t you see?
Nature is magnificent,
Yet, we ruin and destroy
A gift given to us all.

(One of the poems written in my Literature class by a Secondary 2 student.)

An Outstretched Hand (Poem)


By S2 Zeal 

Love never ran deeper or stronger than when 
It gushed not from the fountain of brother nor friend 
Love is best when it falls from the sky, or is found in the sand 
Love is best when it’s mercy from a stranger’s outstretched hand. 


Once was a day when I found myself wanted 
Memories good of my past are now haunted 
The hands of a friend, are twice evil when used 
Betraying, to point and to taunt you, ashamed and abused. 

Sadness is nothing, yet nothing is sadder 
Than a person cast to the wind, as they didn’t really matter 
The insufferable pressure certainly tore me apart 
A bitter rotten apple core, I call it my heart. 

Imagine my surprise, when my “friends” came one day, 
About to treat me like rubbish meant to be thrown away 
When you swooped in and stopped them, after a while 
Pulled me back up to my feet, and then gave me a smile. 

It really wouldn’t have troubled you, only me 
To turn around, to look away, pretending not to see 
Lo and behold, you didn’t, but instead, like a gleaming treasure out of sand 
Came to my aid, called me by my name, and took me by my hand. 

(Composed by my talented students from Sec 2- Zeal spearheaded by Rafael.)

The Promise


The sunset promises a rest for the day
To heal the wounds wrought by yesterday
An assurance to take the worries away
To ease the pain and hope again.

The sunrise promises a new beginning
Each ray a light to find the way
The gift of zeal to face the day
The faith and strength to trust again.

A Happy Heart

I took this photo when we had an outreach program in Jakarta, Indonesia.

A happy heart is a grateful heart... 
It appreciates trivial and vast things 
It is beholden to every minuscule blessing 
It is pleased to every person given along the way 
It is satisfied to the very life bestowed each day. 

A happy heart is a forgiving heart… 
It does not keep ill feelings 
It does not harbor negativities toward others 
It vindicates the most painful wound inflicted. 


A happy heart is a humble heart… 
It does not boast of victories 
It yields to the power of change 
It admits vulnerabilities to human frailties. 

A happy heart is a contented heart… 
It is not jealous of others feats 
It is not envious of what others have 
It is not resentful when others are praised. 

A happy heart is an open heart… 
It accepts life as it is 
It creates room for improvement 
It acquiesces to life’s everyday surprises. 

A happy heart is a prayerful heart… 
It puts God as the center of everything 
It trusts God that there are reasons for every situation 
It has a strong conviction that God’s words are the ultimate truth. 

A happy heart is a pure heart… 
It wakes up with a purpose 
It sleeps with faith 
It lives in bliss contented with the knowledge that God knows best.

Travesty of Consternation


There's this feeling 
Inside my heart is gnawing 
The rage is boiling 
The pain is burning.

The Dance

The iridescent glow of the moon lit up the meadow. 
The color of a new life coalesced with the blissful radiance. 
The field- the dance hall…


Soft face rest upon sturdy shoulders 
Two souls locked in harmony as the melody starts 
Songs of the nightingale’s perfect 
Two bodies sway in perfect timing… 

The rustling of the trees brushed off qualms 
The midnight dew waters thirsty hearts 
The wind soothes away fears 
The stars provided haven for love so unfathomable… 

Time stands still 
Hearts beat so fast 
Souls matted 
Wonderful harmony 
PERFECT DANCE…

The Unsung Heroes

Their tasks are surely not easy 
Difficulties abound 
Challenges are endless 
Compensation is limited. 



They stir passion in writing 
They inspire the youth to learn 
They mold the future in their hands 
They create models by touching hearts. 

Teachers are everywhere 
But those real are rare 
Gems in the vineyard of knowledge 
They affect eternity way and beyond.

Ocean of Dreams

I walked barefooted 
On the cold white terrain 
The sand teased my skin 
With perplexing feeling. 

As if in stupor 
The gaze turned to the cloudless night 
The blaze of the stars burnt my eyes 
The barren heart was haunted. 

Hope is enervated 
Spirit is exhausted 
The world is empty 
Littleness hid in canopy. 


I stared at the specter 
Sad eyes, broken psyche 
Draw its fate in water 
Write its desire on sands. 

The beads of tears fell in water 
Vast sphere washed away melancholy 
Ember of suffering 
Unwittingly crushed. 

There in the farthest dot of the sea 
A tiny glimmer sparkles 
A faint glisten yet there 
The horizon where is thy dream.

Camouflage

She said with face ablaze, “It is okay”. 
The heart writhed with twinge 
Each beat a clout of pain 
The heart drifted in silent throbbing.


With friends she laughed heartily 
In reality the beleaguered soul bears misery 
The mêlée of uncertainties so ruthless 
Each cell in the body whimpered in agony. 

To everybody she talked merrily 
In truth she cringed in wretchedness 
The hammer of loneliness pound relentlessly 
In darkness, she comforts her small body. 

To the world her face alight with joy and resilience 
A perfect fighter in the world of anguish 
Yet, her worn out spirit hid in camouflage 
The abysmal abyss of pain resides.

Welcome to the Christian World, Jessica Elle


You’re taking this step of faith 
In obedience to the Lord 
To be baptized in His precious name 
And heed the Master’s call. 

To rise up with faith in God 
And go where He may lead 
To share God’s love to everyone 
And touch them in their need. 


May God pour out His blessings 
Upon your life today 
So you may walk in His abundance 
As you commit to Him your way. 

Keep on trusting in the Lord 
No matter what you face 
And keep your eyes on Jesus Christ 
And live in His sweet grace.

No Time Poem

In observance of the Lenten Season, let me share with you this wonderful poem I have received from a friend...

NO TIME 

I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do. 
I had to hurry and get to work for bills would soon be due. 
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, 
And jumped up off my knees 
My Christian duty was now done 
My soul could rest at ease. 

All day long I had no time 
To spread a word of cheer. 
No time to speak of Christ to friends, 
They'd laugh at me I'd fear. 
No time, no time, too much to do, 
That was my constant cry, 
No time to give to souls in need. 


But at last the time, the time to die. 
I went before the Lord, 
I came, I stood with downcast eyes. 
For in his hands God held a book; 
It was the book of life. 
God looked into his book and said 
Your name I cannot find. 
I once was going to write it down... 
But never found the time.

Heart’s Wishes

As I lay daydreaming 
In the comfort of the room 
I thought of your sad face 
So serious and forlorn. 

Beads of tears ran down my cheeks 
So swiftly I couldn’t get a grip 
My heart ached with your pain 
Your sorrows so deep I couldn’t bear.


My heart wished it could express better the depth of care 
Or utter it painstakingly until you could feel 
The cries of love might be loud enough for you to hear 
Oh, I wish…how I wish… 

Thy heart speaks of longing so ardent 
To caress your face to cuddle your head 
The ember of love may light up your face 
And let loose of that pain so intense. 

I wish my love could cradle you 
Hug your spirit and lulled you to a tranquil sleep 
I wish in dreams you’ll forget your worries 
Into the dreamy wonderland may your worries vanish. 

My heart wished as you gaze up at the stars 
You’ll see the brightest one I sent and painted with love 
May it sooth your heart and thy plight afar 
Oh, I wish…how I wish…

The Saddest Poem

Inexplicable dejection hugs thy blissful spirit 
Something intense gape a void, it cries out 
A longing? A yearning? A profound hunger? 
My heart was cradled in an empty space. 


A need so immense eyes filled with glumness 
Days become breathless with reminiscences 
Love songs bring sweet tears of wishes 
In dreams, warmth of breath the soul was comforted.

Suffering in Different Forms

Lifeless little body 
Of a boy about eight 
Lying on a pavement 
Covered with newspaper 
To conceal dreadful veracity 
Eyes wide open 
Died of hunger. 

A girl sobbing 
Cradled in her mother’s arms 
The father was taken 
Conundrum engulfed them 
Sufferers of war 
Dreams shattered 
Family viciously ruined. 


Heroes weep 
Lonely in the dessert 
Happiness devastated 
Hugging and loathing their armors 
Their only companions 
Far from their little kids 
Near their deaths. 

A mother’s wretchedness 
Remote from her son 
Embracing his memoirs. 
Then his casket is brought home 
Emblazoned with patriotism 
But her only cry 
Enfold the man she borne into her loving arms. 

Ethereal wishes flake apart 
The soul was shorn of 
The trappings of power victors 
Disconsolate dreamers 
Thrown in abysmal abyss 
War, poverty, power… 
The dawn of hope is gone.

Love

 

'Tis strange thoughts that mind was haunt, 
Brazen stance awash thy fortitude 
Naught besmeared with unsightly hope 
In deep slumbereth pierced thy mystifying reverie. 

Love is strange yet potent as a sword 
It could perforate one's heart when oblivious 
It navigates to feed thy soul 
It fills one's heart with anticipation. 

Love is indeed an ever-fixed mark 
The origin unknown yet it beckons 
To trust...to hope...total abandon 
Trenchant wound at the end has no room. 

It could lead to a zilch or magnificent ending 
It could mar one's soul beyond mending 
Yet, how one would know 
If the heart's door would not open? 

'Tis love that one feels alive 
The ember of magical sensation stirs 
The sagacity of elation burns 
Thread of passion connects two souls.

Perfect Love in a Crazy World

Let me tell you a beautiful love story...

 

Once upon a time, the Prince met his Princess. She was the woman of his dreams while he was the man she prayed for. They met in a somewhat extraordinary way- where computer talked in a techno world. It would be apt to say a perfect match made in heaven. 

More than the physical attraction was the meeting of two minds. The Prince was an intelligent and decent guy while the Princess was an innocent clever lass. However, the happiness was short-lived.

The Prince realized he had more than his share of raw pain caused by love so he decided "he can't fall in love". Getting old alone and lonely was better than to be vulnerable again with heartache. After all, he's happy and contented with his career and to have a woman in his life might just be a headache and trouble.


The Princess being naive as she was yielded to his will. After all, her experiences to male species was only limited to age ranging from 10-12 year-old. She was made to believe also that she would just be a nuisance in his perfect world. Therefore, she deemed it necessary to remind herself over and over again why she can't fall for him.

If you are familiar with Elizabeth Barret Browning poem, "How Do I Love Thee?", here's the Princess' version.

Why Can't I Love Thee? 

Why can't I love thee? Let me count the ways. 
I can't love thee to the depth and breadth and height 
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight 
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. 

I can't love thee to the level of every day's 
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight. 
I can't love thee freely, he's too independent for that; 
I can't love thee purely, he won't allow me in his life. 

I can't love thee with a passion, he won't yield to his heart 
In my old grief, and with my childhood's faith. 
I can't love thee with a love I seemed to lose 
With my lost saints, I can't love thee with the breath, 
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose, 
I shall but love thee after death but not in life.
