Beneath the dawning light of the autumn sun
Where the tranquil air slowly breathed;
Gentle breeze caresses the lonely strands,
Blowing along where thoughts drifted.
As brooding eyes gazes over cloudy pages,
And quivering hands tinkered along each shadowed faces;
The heart slowly remembers,
Drifting along and wander.
These photographs of once sweet past,
Would bring along memories of how it used to be,
Though faded it may be.
Even if the mind tries to forget;
Those once innocent dreams,
Of a long gone yesterday
The heart would not follow,
And memories would not let go.
For in it's reminiscence
Of what could have been,
From these faded photographs,
Where the promise of a faded yesterday lives.

When Love was Gone
Yesterday, I've had my share,
Of blissful moments with someone who care
A love that was in full bloom was there
Thoughts of regret I wouldn't dare
Life then was so fair.
Shared dreams and aspirations abound
As if love will always be around
For beyond forever it will be,
A promise you do pledge to me,
Though I never thought you'd soon ask to be free.
The road to forget is hardest to take,
My heart bleeds for every step that I make;
Open spaces of reason for your sake,
Have been a hard habit that's hard to break...
when love was gone.
Even then again I'm praying,
Time will come, I'll forget that I'm hurting
For when love is gone and my crying is done;
Then I would know, the right one will come
when love has gone.

A Time To Heal
Across the mile I have travelled
Been through the distance, I shall believe
Tears have rolled down my cheeks
More than enough to last a lifetime
My eyes have dried on it's own will.
Friends have come and gone
Some stood beside me
Others have vanished indeed;
I bargained for the twist of fate
Almost fell down in despair.
Though strangers would see me
as if happy and free,
They will never know
The heartaches that bruised my senses;
The wounds were all hidden
Only the Lord knows the pain
That runs through my veins.
Where the key of broken dreams are kept?
Locked them up in one corner of my wounded heart;
When it will be free? I'll never know;
Though it pained me to believe
And my heart to weary to care
Faith is my armour, Hope shall be my guiding light.
After all, the pain endured
Will be a badge of courage
And the wounds would heal in time
For within the silence of my heart,
For whatever reason there may be;
One thing is certain...
While everything else have come to pass
And I still hold the power to believe
That I shall stand the test of time
Then it will be; time to heal,
And life will be what I want it to be.

I wish you Love
How was I to know?
What you really mean to me?
For I'd only known you to be
What a friend you are to me?
When you came I never bothered
to welcome your presence
Comin'and goin' I never did care;
All I know is that you were there
When I needed someone to fill in the silence.
With some silly words and thoughtless actions,
We drifted apart;
For words that was not uttered
Walls between us gathered
So you chose to go away
And end it all that way;
You never did realized
That you just hurt me as much
When you'd left without goodbye.
There are so many things I want to tell you now;
I just don't know how it would reach you now
And it saddens me to know
That you are out there somewhere so far away;
But if I could reach you someway
This heart beats loud out now
Hopin' it could get to you somehow.
No matter how far you might possibly be
Please remember me;
As you gather moments of yesterday,
And if it's true that the heart never forgets
Only reminisce me is the least I can wish,
Maybe in time we'll have the chance.
Till then, this heart wants you to know,
I wish you well...
But most of all... I wish you love.

Curtain Call
Dreams of yesterday
Travelled down the edge of time
Tinkering the bells
Playing music for the ears
Beholds a promise of fame.
Lullaby is sung
By a weary little monk
Telling a story
Of a maiden in glory
Blinded by admiration.
Silently it came
A glory with bitter end
Fame turned into shame
Remorse with all due intent
Relieves it's guilty conscience.

How much longer?
When dreams are broken
And frustrations abound,
When tears are in the eyes
And failures already brought us to the ground,
When burdens are too heavy
And worries are not so easy,
We can only ask Him
Lord, how much longer?
When trouble causes us to stumble,
And struggles are profound
When the heart is breaking,
And there's nobody around
When the rain never ceases,
And a flicker of hope is so far beyond
We can only ask Him
Lord, how much longer?
When life is getting unfair
And hardwork doesn't pay;
When the spirit wants to keep on
But the flesh is already in pain;
When courage have vanished
And Faith is diminished;
In silence, we'll try
To vow our heads, clasp our hands,
And bend our knees to pray;
We will ask Him
Lord, how much longer?

For Erra...
Tender is the year when I've had you
Just barely outgrown my candies and lollipops,
Anxious of what the future may hold
For someone so uncertain of what's to come;
But heartbeat after heartbeat you embraced me
As I nurtured you inside me,
Even when you're not yet around
We already have our bond,
A bond that only the two of us will keep
Irregardless of anyone else kinship.
When finally you came about
And I held you in my arms
That was the moment I've been complete
My purpose in life is fulfilled.
And as years have already gone by
And you are a blooming woman now;
Soon I will have to let you free
To one day follow your heart and live the life;
Though it will be hard for me to let you
And it will break my heart to see you through
Just remember to look back on the journey that I took,
Then I will be content,
that you will walk through the path
Where I have lead you.
