Waiting ~ Angel Tenorio

I am counting the seconds passing me by,
the minutes, the hours...
i am counting the days,
the days...
passing me by,
waiting for you.


I watch the sun rise and set,and give way-
to the moon,
to light my way...
in the dark of night,
waiting for you.


I watch the stars blink and wink,
and shine my way,
in the deepest of the night...
waiting for you.


I sit here,
thinking,
waiting....
waiting till you come,
till i see your smile.


I lay here,
listening to the time ticking away,
waiting....
waiting, till you'll come,
...when you come...
and hold my hand. 

ITAY ~ Dante Dhayne Jr Obina

Ikaw itay,
bakit gawi mo'y ganyan?
Tila anak mo'y walang kahalagahan,
di dahil ikaw ang ama,
ay laging ikaw na ang tama,
...matuto kang tumanggap ng kamalian,
kundi balang araw. .
mga anak mo'y unti-unting lilisan! ! !

My ~ Angel Tenorio

my love, my heart, my life....

in the most deepest of all depths, and highest of all heights, my love... in awe of your being, spell-bounded by you... one smile, and you have me... all of me... like the river emptying itself to the ocean... you have me, diminishing to your being, till i am empty, and, gone... to you, yes, to you! i fade in the wind that you may breathe me in, for gladly, i diminish, i cease to exist... to be alive in you.

my love, my heart, my life....

you open me up, stripping me off... of, myself... laying me bare, naked... as the roses one by one, unfold themselves, till all their heart laid bare to the sky... as the sun warm their hearts, and, covering them with its light... you shower me warmth, to the deepest of me, enveloping my being... covering my nakedness, with your light... with your love.

my love, my heart, my life....

achingly, i wait for you... as the earth would wait night by night for the sun to greet her in the morning, i wait, till all of me, till everything of me... as eternal as the waves kiss the shore, eternally, completely, bounded to you... embraced in you... my love! my heart, my life! my, love... my... i love you...

Thank You ~ Angel Tenorio

I see you only as a picture,
pasted on the profile of your page...
one time smiling,
most of the time enigmatic...

I know you only through your words,
your heartfelt poems,
and beautiful story,
a beautiful tapestry of emotions and thoughts...

My world different from yours,
maybe...
but...
your comments,
it is as if we move in the same realm...

Thank you...
and I thank God for you...
for in this lonely world of words...
in this cold world with words...
a beautiful comment, a hand reached out..
brings joy to a weary soul...

In this realm of words, of emotions and thoughts,
where reality becomes a fantasy...
a hand reached out, keeps the pen going...
a beautiful comment keeps the sanity from adrifting...

thank you...
I thank God for you...

Imperfect for Perfection ~ Angel Tenorio

i wanted to change the picture of my life,
i wanted to repaint it,
i want to make it look better in my eyes,
i want it to look perfect,
i want it to look serene,
and to do that i will have to do major changes,
and one is to,
remove you...
take you out.
but...
am i allowed?
or do i have the right to do it?
and if i do it, will i get what i have always wanted?
will i get a picture-perfect life,
peaceful, worry-free, trouble-free?
if i remove you,
will i be able to be molded to the masterpiece as the Potter wanted me to be?
if i remove you,
will my fears for my arrows disappear?
and will they be able to fly perfectly,
and hit the perfect mark intended for them?

you're the odd color in my tapestry,
the dull hue in my painting,
the storm that threatens to uproot me,
but,
if life is without you?
will my tapestry still be colorful?
my painting perfect?
and will i get to become stronger?

Prayer of a Soul ~ Angel Tenorio

Lord a storm has come to shaken me,
it's threatening to uproot me,
it's threatening to ravage me,
...but,
i know, as long as i look up to You,
as long as i lift my heart in prayer,
i will not be shaken,
i will not be uprooted,
i will not be ravaged.
instead,
i will strengthened,
my roots will grow stronger and deeper in You,
and as the sun would shine,
plants would start to grow,
and the fields in no time will bloom,
into beautiful tapestry of myriad colors...

Lord, as i am molded by your hands,
i pray, soak me up with Your Grace,
that i may become soft,
and i may yield,
to your gentle molding....

as i am cut to perfection,
the blades are quite painful,
and as i am polished to beauty,
the rubbing is quite uncomfortable,
but i know, after this,
i will be a gem of the most awesome beauty,
a priceless treasure for the one who beholds me...

Lord i know to burn brightly,
and defeat darkness,
i have to know the flames,
and as the stars shines their brightest,
at the deepest of the night,
remind me,
that i can never appreciate the brightness of Your Love,
unless i pass through the darkness...

Gone ~ Angel Tenorio

i went traveling around,
carefree, enjoying the wind,
i thought i could live this way forever,
but,
now i start missing you,
...now i start feeling the void in my life,
void only you could fill,
now i start feeling empty,
tired, cold...
and i realize, i need you...
love...
i need you.

so i went back to where i left you,
to where i thought i will find you again,
but...
where are you?
