The Girl With a Hidden Smile

-
I met a girl with a hidden smile
Her face is covered with scowl all day
And forlorn eyes that stares from a mile
But I saw bright colors beyond the grey

Her body's a smile, each motion a grin
Her hands are laughter, one stroke is glee
Her soft silent voice full of bliss within
She's always alone, but never lonely

She'll hide her smile, her joy may not show
But she's the happiest girl I've come to know






Apologies for the art. I used it without permission. Hopefully, the girl with a hidden smile won't get mad at me.

Work in Progress

  So yeah, I haven't updated this blog in a while (who even blogs anymore, right?), but I'm bringing it back to life because.. Something is coming. Ever since I was a kid, I've always had one dream: to get published. Yes, I've had my poems published on school papers, and I've been publishing my books online on Wattpad and RoyalRoad. But, seeing my work printed on paper, on a shelf in a library or book store... that's the dream. I will be posting details soon, but I realized I wanted to keep this blog, and its contents, because this has always been part of my writing journey. I probably won't be as active as before (if I ever had been active), but I figured I could probably share the next stage of my writing journey here. That's all the update I can give for now, and good luck to me.

You and I

My job is to fix things. Your job is to find the problem in everything. Your heart is broken, waiting for someone     My heart is jaded, waiting for no one. You were lonely and looking for company     I was bored searching for somebody. You looked at me and found a friend     I looked at you and found something more. I wanted to be there until the end     You have nothing for me in store. You were someone who needed so much love     I was someone with too much love to give. I was willing to give everything I have     You only want yourself to receive. You reach out looking for someone who will care     I reached to you telling you I'll be there. I opened my heart out, expecting you would see     You closed yours and left me nothing but a memory. I asked, you didn't answer.  I demanded explanation, you gave nothing but a cold shoulder. All I wanted was to unde...

Perfect Love Story

This is my perfect love story. We meet while I am having a summer vacation in Puerto Princesa. Or maybe Boracay. Or Pagudpud. Or Baler. You are visiting your family. Or maybe you are taking a break with your friends. Or colleagues. We are in a restaurant, a cafe, and I am ordering a drink or a meal, and you are doing the same. We catch a glimpse at each other, and at that instantaneous moment, we both know. We are meant to be. The world stops spinning. But only in our heads, because everyone around us continue moving. Yet, we don't care. Time stands still, and all I see is you. I smile, and you catch yourself smiling back. You break your stare and blush. Time starts moving again. From that moment on, I couldn't stop looking your way. Yet you keep avoiding my eyes. Of course you will. You are a proud woman, you're not cheap, you're not easy to get. You stand up and excuse yourself. You say you are not feeling well and you start walking back to your cottage. I stan...
