Paint Your Palette

I want to thank Jingle because she has given me this award to decorate my blog even more…. She is indeed a very good friend and a gem to have. I am posting this poem today. I wrote this about a week ago. I know this should have been posted right away, but I wanted to wait until I did not have any personal issues anymore. Today just seems to be the perfect time to post this. I hope this satisfies you all, my talented friends. It’s a free verse, so there’s really no formal count or anything. *wink*

Paint Your Palette

If you were a color, what would you be?
Which color would show what you mean to me?

I could say that you’re the color yellow,
A bright sunshine with a golden halo.
A color that brightens up my whole sky,
Like the sun, with each day that passes by.

Yet you are the orange of a sunset,
Like what happens when we hit the reset.
You represent the end of one long day
And promise a new one is on its way.

I could say you are red, burning with fire,
Full of passion, of love, or even ire.
You burn me with a heat that’s so intense
There’s not much any room left for pretense.

You are the color of life; you are green.
All things are better than they’ve ever been.
You have breathed life into my lifeless soul;
You have made all parts of me become whole.
You are like the Earth; you;re my only home.
When I am with you, there’s no need to roam.

You are blue as the seas and oceans are,
As blue as the sky I see from afar.
Like an oasis in the desert lands,
You quench those who thirst and soothe their rough hands.

You are the rainbow that complete my sky;
I know I shall but love you by and by.
The colors that you bring my whole life through,
They are yellow, orange, red, green, and blue.

No Reason

Why do I love you?
I just don’t know why.
You’re too good to b true;
You seem to come from the sky.

Why do I love you; there are no reasons
I love you every single day,
All throughout wet and dry seasons.
I’ll always love you, come what may.

Why do I love you; I don’t understand
Just why I feel this way
The minute you smile and take my hand,
Though I know you can never stay.

Why do I love you when all of me feels blue?
I’ve felt this way every single night
Just thinking you’ll never love me too
And over the fact that you’re out of sight.

Why do I love you although my heart bleeds
Because we’d always be far apart?
Still you’re all that my heart needs.
I’ve always loved you, even from the start.

Why do I love you, that I cannot answer.
AS I see it, so far, so not good.
Things are never getting better.
Still I’m here, not knowing why I love you.

Back

We all have our own “the one who got away.”

When I was younger, I used to always imagine that he and I would meet again someday. I would daydream about what it would be like to meet him again. There was just too much. I just could not get over it. It took me almost five years to completely get over him.

I realize that it’s not true that you never get over that one person who seem to have escaped your claws. People once told me that it is always hard to live with “what ifs” and other unrealistic illusions. I find, now, that they were wrong. The thing is, you do get over them. You CAN move on. You MIGHT actually have been better off.

I never got to see him again at all. Honestly, I don’t even know if I want to see him. I do not even know now why I spent a good part of my life being heartbroken by someone I would not even want to get to know now.

Yes, we always have that “the one who got away,” but in most cases, we seem to be better people because we loved and lost someone in the past. I remember the boy, and I always will. Five years of my life would not have been as colorful, had he not been a part of it. Those years would not have produced so much poetry, and I would never be as in tune with my emotions as I am now. I will always be grateful because I was young enough to believe in “someday we will meet again.”

But I don’t remember the feeling anymore. I am loved, and I am in love. I would never get to this point now if I had not gone through what I went through. Everything happens in it own time, even the “getting over” part.

All You

I have to admit I did this poem with such haste, it feels so raw and unpolished. Anyway, I want to post this as my poem for today’s rally. I want to know how people will react to my poems if I write ones that are written in such a hurry. I know this may not be as tasteful as the others I’ve posted in the past, but I still wish you enjoy this. *wink* 🙂

All you could ever want
Is in front of you.
I am anything you want;
I am in front of you

All you could ever need,
I could give to you.
I can give all you need;
I’d give anything for you.

All you could long for
I would give to you only
All you could hope for
You’ll find in me only.

I want to be everything
That you could ever want,
Or possibly ever need,
What you long and hope for.

I will be…..

I Could Not Ask For More

For Thursday

This is my acceptance poem for this week’s Poets Rally. Thank you so much, Jingle. Words can never be enough to express how grateful we all are to you for bringing us all together. Please, let’s all visit Jingle’s blog. Please follow this link: http://jingleyanqiu.wordpress.com/2010/03/12/thursday-poets-rally-week-9-the-perfect-poet-award

I also wish to nominate John, the Traveling Poet, for next week’s Perfect Poet Award. I believe that John makes such a good poet because he also goes from one place to another. Not only does he create very good poems, he also makes very expressive pictures.

This now is my poem for this week:

For Jeffrey

I love you
So much that I can see
The whole world through your eyes
Everytime you look at me.

I love you
So much that my heart beats
The same time as yours does
Even when we’re not near.

I love you
So much that I could always smell
Your skin and your scent in my head
Things that I know so well.

I love you
So much that even an eternity
Is never enough for me to love you
With every moment in between.

I love you,
And there is no other way
I would want to live my life
But with you, every single day.

I love you,
And there is absolutely no one
Who could take your place because
For me, there’ll always be just one.

I love you,
And I awaken at your lightest touch.
You bring me back to the world.
You give me everything and so much.

I love you,
But it’s more than just that.
You are my life and my reason,
The one person that I was created for.

Found

I want to apologize if the poem below may be a little confusing. I wrote this for today’s rally, and I hope you still enjoy this. Thank you so much for visiting… :)xoxo

Sometimes I avoid love songs
Because they only speak of beauty
Or the pain that, in their hearts, throbs
But a song that shows reality,
I have yet to find.

I read through the lyrics and I
sometimes do not find what it is I seek
I look for something like yours and mine
I guess writing about us will do the trick,
I have yet to find.

Our love is not the sunshine
That brightens each other’s day
No, we are but the sunset that glows golden
Warm nights that we haven’t spent cuddled close,
I have yet to find.

We do not bring each other springtime
That makes everything bright and beautiful
We are all the four seasons, bright or dark
A season of love and madness such as ours,
I have yet to find.

We are not the something new in life
That we always wanted and dreamed of
We are the familiar face, the familiar touch
We’ve been together even before the forever that
I have yet to find.

We are not one heart and one soul
Nor a pair of wings that fly together
We are two hearts that beat separately
But two hearts that beat with love such as ours,
I have yet to find.

The Yummiest Things You Can Do With Chocolate

It’s two days after Valentine’s now. Maybe this is the best time for me to post these pictures. I love chocolates. Well, second only to ice cream, in fact. I can eat them forever, if they were the only food left on earth. I was scouring the internet a coupld of days back when I came across these pictures of delectably tempting chocolates. This inspired me to post a blog entry about chocolates. The pictures are courtesy of Every Stock Photo. You may click on the name of the website if you want to be redirected there. 🙂 I hope you folks enjoy! 🙂 I also hope you like the poem I wrote for this… 🙂 xoxo

If I had more than one heart, I’d give all of them to you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And even if I’d have four more, you’d still have them too

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’d give you the whole damn thing and everything

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because there’s just no running away from this feeling

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can take my chocolates, and I’d gladly hand them out 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

Because more than just chocolates, you are someone I couldn’t live without… ♥♥♥

Shakespearean

Since I am, again, a part of Thursday Poet’s Rally, I came up with this sonnet. This is supposed to be a Shakespearean type of poetry, so I’m including it in my poetry project as well. I’m not sure if I got the poetry right. But I hope you still enjoy this. 🙂 This poem is called “The Writer” because I ran out of titles. I couldn’t think of a good title. I can entertain suggestions, though. 🙂

The Writer

To know you is to love you more dearly.
I long to see you and have you near me.
With you by my side I see more clearly;
In love with you is all I’d want to be.

And when the days go by, I think of you-
Your smile, your touch, your laughter and your kiss.
I keep imagining; that’s all I do.
Everything about you, I really miss.

I pray the day we meet shall come again,
But till that day comes, I’ll have loneliness.
Thinking about you every now and then,
Without you my world is full of blankness.

All of these words for you I’d gladly write,
Till the day you’re no longer out of sight.

ABC Poem

This is my attempt at writing an ABC poem. I am not really sure if I got it right, but here it is anyway. If you like it, then I am really glad that you did. If you think I should revise it, I would appreciate your suggestions. Constructive criticism is very helpful, you know. 🙂 Anyway, I hope you have fun with this. 🙂

For a full list of the other types of poetry that I’ve already tried writing, please click on this link. From there, you will find out why I’m suddenly writing all these poetry. 🙂

The Cuddle

A hand to hold when I falter
Big arms to wrap me in when I shiver
Colorful rainbows and gardens in summer
Delicious raindrops and delightful laughter
These and more are what you are to me.
