Gourmet vs the Usual
a good food and a good drink
seven days a week
I wouldn't ask for more
I'll just eat with love and won't get bored
I tried cooking my own food
following mom’s recipe
but it didn’t taste exactly as
when mom’s the one cooking
Oh, I realized
I couldn't buy in the store
an ingredient mom has when cooking a food
I couldn't buy love and patience
in the fresh market or in any grocery

Simple Words of Wisdom
Some simple advices I receive.
From a school teacher:
Read, read and learn.
From a money adviser:
Earn, save and share.
From an acquintance:
Pray, pray and pray
Words so simple
yet the best reminders I get
From a priest:
Pray, trust and don't worry
From a nun:
Trust, trust in the almighty

Homesick for Heaven
Heaven,
A world of wonders
Golden stairs
Pearly gates
Soothing music
Ethereal melodies
Complete bliss
Delight
angels and cherubim
eternal joy and peace
Earth,
Homesick heart
in a perpetual state
Of culture shock
cold winter
humid summer
stressful autumn and
just a short period of spring

If Happiness…
If happiness can just be bought,
I’ll buy a ton of it, and give it to my boss
If happiness can just be found online,
I’ll be connected with it,24/7
If happiness can just be heard,
I’ll play it in my mp3
If happiness can just be written,
I’ll get a perdurable paper and use an inerasable ink
I’m glad, true happiness can be sown,
and cultivated in a love-fertile heart

Break this Heart
break this heart of rock and stone
make it a heart of love alone
free this heart full of pain
and let only joy remain
Paint my heart with colors of gladness
cover and remove the painting of sadness
whenever my heart will sing a song
please happily sing with it along
guard my heart from every harm
shield it with your spells and charm
strip off the sorrows, pains and hurt
dress it elegantly with a new and loving heart
break this heart of rock and stone
make it a heart full of love alone

As I Sing Your Song
When I sing your song
I feel lifted up
I not only see the constellations
But I become a part of them
I don't only see Polaris or Orion
But I am one of them
When I sing your song
I forget all my fears
I see the vastness of the universe
And see the earth a part of it
I see the Milky Way and other galaxies
As I sing your song
I forget all earthly worries
I am not only an observer
Of the celestial things
but I'm shining with them
As I sing your song

Maybe Our Heart is Like
Maybe our heart is like an ear
For it can hear
Maybe our heart is like the skin
For it can feel
Maybe our heart is like a glass
For it can be broken
Maybe our heart is like an enemy
For it can deceive
Maybe our heart is like a butter
For it melts
Maybe our heart is like a dough
For it can be softened
Maybe our heart is like a plant
For it dies
Maybe our heart is like a cement
For it hardens
Maybe our heart is like a support beam

I Am Most Happy When…
I am happy when I reach a goal
big or small
hard or easy to achieve
lofty, noble or one which is simple.
I am happy when I am in a nice working environment
Utilizing my skills and abilities
Use my hours in productive pursuits
and be with workmates who are good-natured and great!
I am happy when I’m with my friends
Share stories and lighten the embarrassments
sing with them in videoke
or laugh with them in jokes and comedies
I am happy when I’m with my family
Wear the true identity and personality
not concerned if I act awkward
as they can accept and understand, whether I’m happy or sad.

I Dread the Silence
I need noise when I’m awake
I dread the silence when I am not asleep
It’s either pounding my eardrums with songs, music or any mp3s
or razzing it to an audio book or MTVs
Noise has been a means to cover up the reality
I dread the silence for it prods a cognizance that I’m alone despite the crowd.
I dread the silence fearing that I wake up from my self-created imaginary world
I dread the silence for fear that it made me question about my existence
I dread the silence fearing that I will hear the inner voice
clamoring and wanting to escape from this dragging circumstances
That still small voice which prefers peace
that still small voice wanting to get away from this kind of place.
that still small voice, crying from this senseless pace.
that still small voice, wanting a break from this pointless race.
