Welcome to my blog

My interest in writing, especially poetry came to be when I was in my senior year in secondary school, when I was introduced to the world of prose and poetry of famous figures in literature. With the likes of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Cristina Georgina Rosetti, Edgar Allan Poe, to name a few. Their poetry influenced me and inspired me to follow their themes and moods. As I go through my writing and develop my skill, I want to share my poetry to the rest of the people who will get to be interested on my poems, I just wish that somehow in my own little way I have contributed even just a stray of inspiration to those who are like me, wanted to be a part of poetry world. So I want to welcome every one of you, whether you're a visitor by accident or by design; and for acquiantances, this is the other side of me; here's hoping that you'll be able to get a glimpse of me through the pages of my poetry as you read between the lines...

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.
