poem #1Today, I woke up
to the cool kisses of the breeze
to the warm embrace of the sun
to the splashing of the playful waves on the beach
and the day has just begun
\
Tonight, I'll sleep
under the blanket of the stars
under the watchful eye of the moon
I'll close my eyes and dream of countries afar
of countries, I'll travel to soon.
/
Tomorrow, I'll act
in a new wide-open world
it will be victorious for me
in the sea, I shall find a pearl
it's a perfect future I shall see
poem#2 I always think of our times together
I've never denied that powerful spark
The warmth of your love in cold weather
Thoughts of you lifted me in the dark
But then, your eyes trained on another
And my heart was broken and shattered
My failing hoped then found my mother
And I knew, to you, I still mattered
But now, my heart seeks ti be free
I am breaking the bonds I have set
For, even though I ran to you for safety
I soon learned that I needn't fret
For now, my heart will set you aside
And let myself experience this crazy ride.
