I remember a Friend


And because I just pledge not to exercise my hiatus potential again, I resolve therefore to publish an old emo’ poem for some of you to ponder or to relate otherwise. Wish I could finish na someone's term paper (yep, AJ is also a ghostwriter) in between my nerve-racking job, so I could proceed with my impending TAGS and shades of gray posts this boiling month of March. Hence, you'll about to see my new cute thumbnail image peeping at your respective portals sooner or later... :D
.
Hope you'll enjoy this freaking piece as well. My kind regards,

.
The First time ever
I gazed into your eyes
I mirror a reflection of myself
& the Fear that dwells inside
haunt me -
When all of my heart,
You hold it through your hands

In darkest weather
& in deepest despair,
I witnessed your care
- so rare
like a farmer uprooting a frail tree
He cling and thrust its core
to Earth’s soil firmly

You emerged too like a rainbow
looms o’er cloud of my dire sorrow
oh, a lovely token of new tomorrow

Such stubborn fondness
washes away my dreariness
suddenly,
my world’s not gloomy...
as it used to be

But we swim against great tide
it disjoint our spirits aside
akin to a frantic yell
awaking us from spell of our tale

Birds come & go, ..human so
when you flew back to your nest
I remain at rest - why?
"You are my wings, & I can’t fly" !

Till the day my hair’s grown gray
My sweet thought of yours
won’t go astray

For it is good to remember
a Friend I dear forever
!

- that emo' shot of mine was taken in Dubai Media City Sept of last year....(wala lang)

Wow! so this is classic then?

Why do we have to be emo to be inspired to do senseful literatures?

Hi Josh...

may In love fever ka na talaga (obviously) hehe...
Ganda ng pagkagawa mo ng poem na to. para ka nang Pro.

Ingatz josh...

Joyoz said...

First of all, what a lovely place. Second, you seemed like emotionally excited in that photo. For I know excited ka nga.
Hanep rin tong poem mo..panalo. Ako, nakakagawa ako poem pag deep din ang emotion pero pag natural lang, walang lumalabas sa isip eh hehe. Inspired ka nga Aj.
By the way, I migrated my blog joydob.com into joy-dob.com. Nadali yung old domain ko kaya Wp na ako. Pa update link ko huh? Yung Everyday Life.

Josh of Arabia said...

@honey: pang-amateur pa rin to hon..& this is someone' else nga pala, pero puede na rin kay mahal

@joyoz: oo kase sakit sa butt ung inupuan ko :D..kaya mo rin yan..ikw pa. cge i'l adjust ur link.

Solo said...

Wow! ganda nman ng post mo fren.;D
Nkakaantig..;D
Have a nice day.

RJ said...

[Sino na naman kaya itong Friend mong ito?! Dati si Mahal mo nag-iisa sa photo, ngayon naman ikaw ang nag-iisa.]

Sa galing ng pagkagawa ng poem, huh! 'Pag mabasa ito ng friend mong 'yon, siya 'ata ang hindi makakalipad mula sa kanyang pugad.

Talaga, pumuti man ang buhok niya siguradong hinding-hindi ka niya makakalimutan, sure 'yan bro. U

[By the way, ang gaan ng pakiramdam habang binabasa itong mga posts mo, ayos kasi, very conversational. Parang hindi ako marunong ng ganito.]

Josh of Arabia said...
