Violet

As you start to bloom in the smoky forest, thorns unexpectedly came from you at the same time. It was like the ones in roses. I never thought it was possible. How? I don’t know. What? Maybe I could give you answers to the puzzle that you, yourself created.

Clearly, you aren’t capable yet of handling things like that. It takes a lot of wisdom to see things that are invisible. And I who thinks knows better needs a lot of courage and strength to be patient enough to understand and get this through.

Violet, apparently your name and whatever it stands for is quite contradicting. And I have to admit that, that’s how I see you now, different – one element defining two symbols.

Sweet creature, your innocence isn’t leading you right. Your poisonous thorns are giving you away.

Darling, it’s eating you up through immaturity instead of growth. I may not be perfect but I’m honestly wishing I could give you the same nourishment I got when I was at your stage. I am hopelessly wishing I could make it work.

On the other hand, I wish I could take away those thorns, which I know is a ridiculous idea for I am aware as well that I can’t. No one ever takes away the pain it brings you other than yourself.

If only I could give you these roots of mine that keep me going, roots that gives me life. I could let my leaves fall if it means giving you light.

Lovely petals, if you’d give me a chance, you know I could offer you help.

Beautiful flower, don’t be too hard on yourself, you sound so unfair that way as well.

And violet, for what it’s worth, you pretty rock on the things that make you exceptional. Being unpredictable most of the time suits you.

Meleria's Sonnet

It seemed to be a new life at the time, You caught my attention unconsciously; I was in need, and you helped willingly, A unique bond grew and was pure as lime; You are the lyrics of the string’s rhyme, My dream’s exact epitome, shockingly; A magical sense exist swiftly, I was reluctant ‘cause it’s like a crime; And when He heard me, confusions came too; 'Guess I wasn’t ready at the time yet; All is said and done, what else could I do? Pain crushed me, and it seemed too hard to beat, Blade tears me when thud rose from the piano, Mind of hate, soul of love, heart of regret. - M

Sadly Missed, Lovingly Remembered

There were two persons who came to my life whom I barely know but both touched my life unexpectedly, shared a great secret to me and had left me the moment I needed them most. The only difference they have was that the first person promised to come back while the other one didn't say a word. I've been waiting for the first person to come back for almost half a decade but she never showed up, the only thing she had left me was a small Science Dictionary. I've been searching for her in the internet. I was young then that's why I couldn't remember her exact appearance. I lost her phone number and all I have was the name of the town where she came from, if only I could go there by myself then I would have done it a long time ago. The second one was the person who taught me to be strong, the person who said that there were still good things he found despite of my shortcomings, the person I thought would never leave me, and the person who made me change the ...

Listen to your father, who gave you life; and don’t despise your mother when she gets old. - Proverbs 23:22 A righteous person’s father will be filled with joy; yes, he whose son is wise will rejoice in him. So let your father and mother be glad; let her who gave you birth rejoice. - Proverbs 23:24-25 Happy Father's Day! Father's Day 2016. My father is a retired Philippine army, but unlike other soldiers, he wasn’t really that strict. He’s not the stiff kind of a soldier father whom your friends would get scared of. My friends are actually friends with him. Some of you may think that it’s probably because I’m a girl and I’m the youngest. But I believe it’s because, he’s just naturally kind. In fact, at 64, he’s still the most polite person I know. Whenever he’s talking to someone, he would address him or her: “Sir”, “Ma’am”, “Nong” or “Nanay”, even if he’s the one older. My mother and siblings are Globe users (and me too), while my father is a Smart subscriber. But, whenever I...
