If I were a thing, in fact…

in poem
If I were a blue little cup, here I was trying to handle boiled coffee on my own
I couldn’t hear because my only ear was so tightly held
I couldn’t see because the coffee was so thick obscuring the view
In fact…
I was the one who held that blue little cup of hot coffee
I felt the heat burning my fingertips and tongue as well
Even I heard their every word, played back in mind, recorded them
I saw lie and anger, but then I learned how to argue as best they did
If I were a little bird that fell down from the highest branch
My wings was broken and I needed a helping hand of an angel
My only hope was just tweet as hard to call my mom up there
In fact…
I was its helping hand to even just put it aside the road
My heart also broken by its tears and softly voices
I wished I could go as soon as the wind just drop another one
But then, I was the only intermediary to its mom high above

This is how I feel
Whenever I’m with you
Everything is all about you
Too good to be true
Somehow I just can’t believe
You can lay your eyes on me
If this is a fairytale
I wish it will end happily
Even though we are apart
I can feel you here next to me
Here and now I will vow
Stay with me
Let me love you
With all my heart
You are the one for me
You are the light in my soul
Let me hold you
With my arms
I wanna feel love again
I wanna feel love again
I wanna feel love again
Cuz I know
Love is you
Looking for Your Face

From the beginning of my life
I have been looking for your face
but today I have seen it
Today I have seen
the charm, the beauty,the unfathomable grace
of the face that I was looking for
Today I have found you
and those who laughed and scorned me yesterday
are sorry that they were not looking as I did
I am bewildered
by the magnificence of your beauty
and wish to see you with a hundred eyes
My heart has burned with passion
and has searched forever for this wondrous beauty
that I now behold
I am ashamed
to call this love human
and afraid of God to call it divine
Your fragrant breath
like the morning breeze
has come to the stillness of the garden
You have breathed new life into me
I have become your sunshine
and also your shadow
My soul is screaming in ecstacy
Every fiber of my being
is in love with you
Your efflugence
has lit a fire in my heart for me
the earth and sky
My arrow of love
has arrived at the target
I am in the house of mercy
and my heart is a place of prayer
