Cry ENDLESSLY

Amidst silence, or even in the midst of your meal,

all of a sudden tears are welling in your eyes

with all the sorrows you've been through, you can't help but cry 

You want to burst out all your difficulties 

but does not know whom you'll seek to, 

and the worse, does not know how to start this...

Why should life be too painful like this?

God, except from serving thee,

Why do I exist? What is my real purpose in life?

I do greatly wish, sooner or later I could die

and be relieved with all the torment inside me

For I have no more strength to bear all these...

Slowly, my weakness obliterates the self in me

Long enough I could lose my sanity

Dear God! please help me indeed

to continue this rage battle of mine

and I beg you, don't turn away from me

For thee are my only refuge...

Now I fin'lly learnt why someone dear to me 

is so hard to let go, and I always miss Her so...

My Only Devotion

What is the purpose of living?

To whom dedicate thy vitality and strength?

Why are there sacrifices?

To whom shall thou bestow it?

There are certain points in life

When we encounter agony and pain,

That sometimes we are drowned in misery

As if we could lose hope through these

There’s a moment, even I have suffered

But I must say I have endured

For what I have cherished most

Is my devotion to Almighty God

Amid the blizzard of our existence

Always God is there

He is full of righteousness

He never fails to heed our needs

O, Almighty God to have You on our side

We are blessed and in peace

Through Your grace, we will forever be Yours

We’ll preserve our right ‘til Jesus Christ comes

And all of these words may not be enough

 But this our solemn oath to thee,

We will be IGLESIA NI CRISTO

Forever and ever!

The Missing Peace

There’s a question on my mind

I wanna speak it out loud

In this rampant world we live

When could we achieve peace?

As I go on through this life

I wonder as I soar

When could we ever be free?

When could we attain peace?

In the hearts of those who suffer

I know there’s a seed of hatred

That leads to world’s misery

When could we ever obtain peace?

In this world, is still there any truth?

Does anyone know its worth?

When could it be given to next birth?

Does anyone love Mother Earth?

Even I couldn't possibly know

To guess is only I can now

Slings and arrows people always throw

Towards other, yet they’ll reap what they sow

Even in the hardest hearts, I know

There is still love as white as snow

Realization is what it takes

A possible change it makes

O God, Almighty in heaven

Please guide us in deed

And forgive us for our misdeed

For your love is our great haven

Shower us your shining glory and hope

For our conundrums we could never hide

For I know we could find the missing peace

Forever in your side

Sonnet 9257 :Dreaming of You (Extended Version)

I

Who are you to bother me so much?

The one who can't make me sleep at night

Oh, I am longing for your touch

That makes me want to hold you so tight

II

In my dreams I catch a glimpse of you daily

That you always laugh and smile cheerfully

How I wish I could see your face clearly

And have a view of it carefully

III

I hope I could show my love

All the feeling that I have

And shout it out loud high above

Like the spreading wings of a dove

IV

When I'm alone your voice does ring through me

And day by day, my thoughts were filled by you

It seems there's naught I could compare to you

I would even do aught for you to love me too

V

Be the person you think of before you sleep

And be the one for yours to keep

To be the single lady you adore

This is what I dream and no more

VI

Whenever you're around, my heart freeze

When you're not, it yearns for you like a breeze

It kills me to death when you're in pain

How I wish you're love I could gain

VII

I want to feel you and your embrace

And our hearts be tied like a lace

Do you feel the same way too?

Or am I just dreaming of you?

VIII

Loving you is what I really not expected

You are what I never knew I always wanted

You even come across the threshold of my world

Although you're not here and nowhere to be found

IX

Love is so dear for us to consider

Sometimes it is bitter yet so tender

A crucial matter for us to ponder

And a thing we can't simply blunder

X

Time is passing so swiftly

But love will come perfectly

Each of us hath their own destiny

Have faith though hope is tiny

XI

'Coz in life we should not rush

And neither should we push

For  love is as lush as bush

Small it may be, our feelings could gush

XII

Believe that someone will come to your way

In no time it could happen one day

It's just a matter of forbearance of while

Thy time to bloom will surely come

XIII

And I know I shouldn't feel dismay

For I always know that someday

In time, in your arms I could lay

And forever, there I could stay
