Brothers

I though I was the only one

Who will love by my father as his only son

But they were born not just once

We are all five brothers stick to one.

I remember the day

We used to play

Hide and seek on a sunny day

Until the sun is through the entire day.

The happiness that we shared

The laughters that we created

The sorrows that we experienced

They were all painted and not erased.

Three of us were born in July

Three of us have different styles

With different sports to try

And different knowledge to imply.

One was born in June

With caring voice and loudly tune

With humor mind that always shown

Making us laugh even when we mourn.

The last one was born in December

A spoiled one if I can remember

But lovable when it comes to us forever

A loving brother hoping to say it's now pr never.

I have known them for years

When they were little, I was the one who changed their diapers

Kidding aside but that's how I remember

Full of joys and laughters.

They never changed the way they treated me wholeheartedly

I am their eldest brother who loves them so dearly

Even though were half brothers from father bilogically

We were so close that everyone would envy.

Wherever you are, oceans and seas apart

I care for your well-being no one can depart

I love you my dear brothers

Just take good care of yourself, I am just here whenever you needed my part.

StepMother

You are the apple of our eyes

Like Hera in ancient time

Your stunning beauty stands out so wise

A woman, my stepmother, my partners in crime.

You are not my real mother

But you care enough for each other

You are not the one who deliver

But you were there in times I don't know how to utter.

I may have gained bruises on my skin

I may have encountered your angry side in my vein

But all those were nothing, I can feel no pain

Because inside my heart, your love I always gain.

I remember the day, you protected me

From my father who keep hurting me

You stood in front of me

And taste the fury of him who's mad at me.

I was lucky to have you

I was blessed to be with you

I was inspired because of you

That even though we are not biologically related, you love me too.

Years have passed and you changed a lot

You became more mature, more responsible to us

You didn't even forget to connect the dot

You just finished everyday your required task.

I have few memories where you hurt me from the past

But I have lots of memories where you hugged and kisses all of us

You even say you are proud because your child graduated at last

Even happier than any graduates who pass.

When my father died, you are the one who mourned so much

You cried a lot, shed tears as such

Ignored eating or taking a rest for awhile

You love my father very much fromthe tip of his hair down to his vile.

We don't know how to make you laugh

We even forgot how we stood up

What we only remember on the rest of that stuff

You are still strong until now even if life's getting tough.

Father

A man I look up as a model

A man so hardworking, I can tell

A man who loves my mother

A man who cares for his sons and daughter.

You are the person who makes us laugh

You are the person who inspires us to be tough

You are the person who defend us

You are the person who molded us.

They say you are a coward

They say you are a drunkard

They say you are not brave enough

To face the agony of life, you just shut your mouth up!

The words they tell are true

You are a coward to leave your family out of the blue

You are drunk when you went home

Our house sometimes look like a doom.

I saw your beast side

When you shout at me outside

When you punch me inside

When you kick me on the other side.

It was a nightmare for me to remember

It was a bad memories, wish I could not utter

I am just your son and you are my father

I have no right to fight back because love is all that matter.

I realized why you did that

You only want what's best for us

To go on the right track, the right path

And follow your words that will inspires all of us.

I never hated you

I never blamed you

I never forsaken you

I just loved you.

Thank you for making us smile

Thank you for taking care of me all the while

Thank you for being my father for 25 years of my life

Thank you for loving me, I love you Goodbye!

Blue is for You

Blue is for You

I don't know where to start

I don't know what to write

About your favorite color right?

That makes your day full of bright.

Blue is not intriguing, a common color for us, human being.

Blue is like the color of the sky that adds life to the oceans living.

Blue symbolizes trust and loyalty

A favorite color even to all Humanity.

It calms our heart and it strengthens our friendship.

It revives our soul and gives encouragement for us to keep.

An aura so true and positive

That even children knows that the color is expressive.

If Blue is not for me...

Then Blue is for You...

Freedom

Some where born on the day Freedom was gain.

Others were hungry for Freedom to aim.

Many fight both by words and by swords for Freedom to redeem

But, plenty are those people thinking that Freedom are just a mere dream.

For professional one, Freedom can be achieve by passing a constitution.

For rich class people, Freedom can be reached through popularity by running an advocacy.

For middle class and poor people, Freedom can be attain by getting a higher education.

An education that can run and stand alone without it's own candidacy.

You may be blind by whats happening around you.

You may be deaf to hear the outcry of starving people in front you.

But you have the power to feel what life is offering you

And find answers for Freedom that keeps haunting you.

We must fight for it.

We must claim for it.

We must be brave to get it.

After all, we became victim, slave in the past and we have to proclaim it.

Freedom is not just a word.

Freedom is not a property to be bought.

Freedom is a serious talk.

Freedom is a lifetime agreement.

I Finally Found Someone In You

We both started as readers,

You and I as followers,

Reading each of our pieces of works,

Commenting in the form of words.

I think I finally found

I think I finally found

I think I finally found

The person who will complete my day in and out.

The words you picked are well-chosen

The way you use emoticons are genuine

The way you throw a conversation are polite

A woman like you deserved a response not just to say 'Hi'.

I finally found someone who can be my friend.

I finally found someone who can understand the things I wrote.

I finally found someone who will never offend

I finally found someone whom I can share my pain even if I's black and white.

Let's write our feelings using our works.

Let's start a conversation full of wisdom in words.

Let's continue to inspire others.

Just share your joy and be my friend!

Because I finally found someone in you…

LIFE

We struggle every day

We fight for a new day

We live each day

We want to be happy day by day.

Life was created to be meaningful

Life was created to be successful

Life is not a dream of fairy tales to ponder

Life has to be fulfilled, full of wonder.

We may stumble and fall

We may starve to death, too painful

But we should not forget that God is merciful.

He will find a way so our stomach will be.full.

Life is unfair for others.

Life is biased to commoners.

Life is blessed but humans have to conquer

Life will not always be full of danger and dagger.

Waiting For Your Love

Seconds passed

Minutes lapsed

Hours departs

Time collapsed.

Days born

Weeks mourn

Months yearn

Years learn.

Still looking

Always searching

Tired of waiting

But still hoping.

You might be somewhere

Or just everywhere

Walking out there

Or smiling at me, here!

When will you come?

Where can I find you, are you fame?

Are you just ashame?

Or don't want me to came?

I am waiting...

I am still waiting...

I will always waiting...

Waiting for your love...

Because of You

I don't know how to describe

I don't know how to react

I just felt something I won't deprive

A feeling that even I forget to act.

You are a blessing from Above

You are a person I adore much

Someone I can no longer have

I just want your sweet loving touch.

I may not be the richest guy you have known

I may not be the handsome one you admire before

But you will forever be the one I can cal my own

The one I will not always ignore.

Because of you, I am happy.

Because of you, my life was full of memory.

Because of you, I learn to beat the heat.

Because of you, I am completely complete.

Loving the Ugly One

They were bullied because they are ugly.

They were scolded because they are ugly.

They were ridiculed because they are ugly.

They were beaten because they are ugly.

People disapprove them.

Others humiliated them.

Some hated them.

Everyone judge them.

You can make fun of their ugly face

But you cannot beat them down.

You can let them suffer over and over again

But they stand on what they believe are fair and just.

Why can't we feel what they feel?

Why can't we see their pain?

Why can't we stop hurting them?

I know they are ugly but they are humans and they have a heart.

We were created equal in the eyes of God.

We have qualities that are similar to Him.

He never hurt anyone of us.

He even love those even uglier than us.

If loving the ugly person for you is wrong,

Why don't we observe the way they handle their lives?

If loving the ugly person for you is a waste of time,

Why don't we them live alone away from vile?

We don't have the right to hurt them but we have the right to protect them.

We don't have the right to become an intruder on their lives but we have the freedom to make friends with them.

We don't have the right to scare them but we have the right to let them feel that we are not afraid to be with them.

Lastly, we don't have the right to persecute them but we have the right to love them without scrutinizing them.
