Goodnight My Dear!

Posted by: Jocelyn Soriano

Goodnight my dear
I’m glad I have you near
For the many things you’ve brought me
There’s nothing I shall fear
 
Goodnight my dear
Let my songs wipe your tears
We’ve certainly got each other
And we always shall through the years
 
Goodnight my dear
Let my prayer bring you cheer
The moon is bright and the stars are shining
And they bless us always here [...]

Poem of Grieving Loss of Loved One

DEATH POEMS (Grieving Loss of Loved One)
where would you go
that i cannot follow?
for how long must i wait
until we meet again?
what would i do
in times that i miss you?
where would i go
in times when i long to see you again?
how must i spend
the nights without you?
how do i bear
each morning that you’re not there?
shall i [...]

I Dream of a Better World

Posted by: Jocelyn Soriano

I Dream of a Better World
I dream of a place where I can be understood,
such a place where finally,
I can be myself.
I dream of a place
where people need not be told anymore
what to do,
because they already know it,
because finally,
they’re already guided by their hearts.
I dream of a place
where people can be brothers,
where people can be [...]

I Will Smile Again! (poem)

Posted by: Jocelyn Soriano

I will smile again
Though tears flow from these eyes
I will smile again
And trust tomorrow the sun shall rise
Though darkness may enfold me
Though heavy rain can’t help but pour
Though shattered, lost and broken
Though heart could barely bear it all
Though tired and weary and confused
Though badly hurt and bruised
I know that I will smile again
And I will [...]

Waiting

Posted by: Jocelyn Soriano

IF you were coming in the fall,
I’d brush the summer by
With half a smile and half a spurn,
As housewives do a fly.
 

Trading My Hours

Posted by: Jocelyn Soriano

 
 
Eight hours spent
infront of my computer
Two more hours
infront of my tv
Another two
infront of faces I do not know
braving my way back home
and finding some spot
inside a tightly-packed train
 
 

If I Can

Posted by: Jocelyn Soriano

 
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
 
-BY Emily Dickinson

Love is not blind (poem)

Posted by: Jocelyn Soriano

there is someone
who understands you,
who sees you
even more than you can see yourself
his eyes are like clear mirrors
reflecting to you
the you he loves and sees
and though you are afraid at first,
your fears are vanquished
and you are able to see through his eyes
what you were afraid to see
love is not blind after all
for love sees more
love [...]

Passing Through

Posted by: Jocelyn Soriano

When I lose my courage
He gives me hope
when I lose my footing
He gives me steady ground
Whenever I stumble
He is there
whenever I’m weak
He becomes my strength
Who am I
without Him
What do I do
without His love
This terrible longing within me
is killing me
this aching for true love
bids me to come home soon
O how sick am I with love
how the [...]

Salvation (poem)

Posted by: Jocelyn Soriano

God was there
from the very beginning
but I knew Him not
and I turned away
I looked at the world
and beheld its splendor
til that same splendor
snatched me
and I was thrown
amidst its cold brightness
and I yearned for the warmth of home
In despair I wept
and I cried out to my God:
Rescue me for I desire not these things
and I will [...]
