Rare Dream Of Love

This is for those who think inside those long rides in the car, stuck in traffic and wanting someone to be in the front seat with them. This is also for those who dream of great dreams for a few seconds, but would willing to take forever to see them come true.

This is a rare time.
Where I dream of purely love
and what I yearn for
if it were to come into my horizon.

Enough of what could have been
but I have a dream
between someone and i
And what could be.

Let it rise,
in the middle of desolate heartbreaks
A hint of beauty
Within a ruined work of art.

Reviving its whole picture.
Foundations of our love
shall stand proud.
Injected with purity, trust and immortality.

It shall be built from a time
Where there has been no indecision.
Where it was built out of want
Between a majestic tandem of two.

Hoist above
"Numquam periit amor"
Puzzling other minds with its meaning,
but everything of which would mean both of their lives

I do not long anymore
the end of this phase
But I long for the making
of something made out of beauty.

Something that will release me,
and let me learn how to love again.

Stars That Twinkle

This is for you. On your adventures and how I always constantly want to be with you. See the same places, feel the same emotions, I could even see myself taking you on a candle lit dinner. Throw in a box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers. This is what combusted in me, truly from my heart.

And suddenly on,

one of these countless nights

No matter how much I try

I can't hold it in anymore.

You may be on a different horizon

and I can't help but ask,

Do you see the stars that twinkle for you?

Did you similarly feel my heart that beats for you?

Like the big bang it all suddenly exploded

The nebulae of feeling and emotion

combusting what may have been.

Keeping aflame what may start from that was once nothing.

Did you ever see what we could have made?

Conceived the meaning of our lives with love.

Gravitating to each other like a planet and a star.

To catch you every time you come into view.

I wonder if you can see my love like the light

Or feel the warmth of it on your delicate skin.

Tasteless and passive to others,

but continuously twinkling for you

As you go to different adventures.

I'll be here waining, and silently watching.

Wishing I could explore the world with you,

wishing to hold you close and bring you sunshine.

Grass Fires

I really promise to try to blog more so often. I have so much ideas going on and I would just like to share them or put them down on paper. Hey, I bought a sketch book to put the deepest, most emotional or most fundamental ideas I have when it comes to drawing or writing.

Here it is! One of its pages.

Let's first set the mood of this post. Check this out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKHX1a2vcXo
The song may be kinda old, but the feel of this cover by Clara C. puts a different take into it with what has been happening to me lately.

Why "Grass Fires" ? This is a very interesting title that I chose because currently, if you went inside my room, you would be able to smell the grass burning. I have known this smell since I used to "protect" my mom from the house getting burned down (at least, in my imagination) and because I loved her very much. It was really hard to concentrate on siesta time since I was just a kiddo back then. Oh, how I would try to alert her with my kiddo voice to tell her "Ma! Ma! Grass fires! Look look!" I am in the same room where I used to do this. With this song, and the view of the back of my house with the calm yellow that illuminates my room, I can't help think.

Have you ever wanted something and the opportunity is at its highest peak, but you could not because of something that is stopping you? May it be time constraint or conflicting priorities, it would surely bum you out. I am currently in one of those situations, even the truth and secret in life is to be happy with what you have. Sometimes I just could not help imagine different moments and compile them with this song in a music video to tell you how deep the feeling is etched within me.

Maybe this what ignited my fire. My fire consists of many emotions both good and bad. I am very thankful to have shared different moments with the people I encounter everyday, but sometimes I couldn't help be sad because it might be over soon. Although this is the case, the fire can mean a different thing. The fire, if you religiously try to control it, would make you catch up to these different people, or even try to inspire them with the fact that you're always trying to find time to take your friendship to a whole new level. Maybe this would be the fire of love and emotion that could help you do better than what you did yesterday. Why not ignite?

Truly, not all flames would go on forever. It breaks my heart to extinguish it. 

Until next time.

One thing I really hate...

Is saying something stupid. Or making stupid mistakes.

Passing By So Swiftly

Drenched in thought. Enjoy the read.

A nocturnal being such as i

go into the journey of my own

walking down the path

of the moments we used to share.

Etched in its surface,

the times where we breathed the same air,

held our hands together,

holding your soft and sweet skin.

Constantly waging a war with myself,

on whether or not to go to the past.

when all things suddenly break loose,

I will still be here writing on the computer screen.

Still etched in every breath,

with every blink of the eye

with every canvas of imagination painted

of moments that were just here,

Passing by so swiftly.

Catch Of A Lifetime

It has exactly been a month since I last blogged. I apologize for this. Different escapades have happened throughout that month. Here I am though, tonight, feeling extremely inspired. Hopefully I would take this momentum with me until forever. (Hehe)

This poem is dedicated to those who are longing to have that Catch Of A Lifetime, if you know what I mean. Enjoy reading. Stay inspired.

I take a stroll

beside the sound of the stream

casting my reel

onto its delicate surface

I know this day

as a day of great opportunities

where the sun overhead

sparkles beautifully into the stream

As I wait for my catch

to give me life and strength

I glimpse of a dream

as if it were real

I have caught myself in a battle

with thoughts in mind,

the biggest catch of all lifetimes

a beauty beyond all beauties

It was not an ordinary fish,

but a mermaid of a fairytale.

I thought it were disgruntled,

but just ready to give me her talents.

I dream of the day

wherein I'd catch the biggest catch of my lifetime,

beautiful inside and outside,

from a day of great opportunities.

I patiently wait for you,

I would not want to consume you,

but to take you with me

and keep you until my days end.

Simplicity Of Love

   So, last night, I slept at my usual time of 3 A.M. (I need to get this body clock fixed) Surprisingly, some people were still awake and I had the opportunity to talk to them a little more before dozing off. Little did I know how fast time had come to tell me that I needed to wake up to greet the day with an activity for children in our village community called "Kids Of Our Lord Saturdays"(KOOL Saturdays, cool right? :P ) I had to wake up with the roaring sound of a Formula 1 engine as my faithful and forever reliable alarm. Off I went to my usual stroll to the church. When I got there, I had the task of manning the registration table. Through such task, I have made a few observations with regards to kids and their parents.

   One thing that most of  the kids had, was a smile on their face when they greeted us "Good Morning" or a simple smile and "Thank You" while they were getting excited over the fact we were going to give them cookies and free juice! (Yum Yum!) Others were shy to actually say what their name was, but was still curious on what was in store for the day. Indeed, it was going to be a great and fulfilling three hour adventure to start the morning of a lazy college student.

Here is a picture of the kids with their Love Banks. 

   A "Love Bank" is a bank for your candy, or any certain material that you would want to put in it, that symbolizes an act of love that you have done to a person or an act of love that a person that made you feel loved. I couldn't resist smiling to those kids, who were SO focused on designing on their little bank; most importantly, the candy that filled up their simple cups to the brim. You could see in their share circles how much effort they give to tell their different stories in a simple way, but it gets the message across that gives them a simple sweet reward for them to munch and enjoy later on. What's funny is, is that they never quit to find candy to express more of themselves whenever their piles have already been exhausted!

   As people of this world, (unless you're from another planet) we would want to love one another. Sometimes, we wouldn't want to even realize that there's a reward for doing so. Regardless, these kids have a simple reminder behind their cute smiles and hyperactive dispositions: It's to love because it gives us a sweet feeling that inspires us to do something better. As a "Kuya" for the day, you would actually feel the innocence and purity that fills their hearts and that makes you realize that one actually needs simplicity in life. Sure, it's easier said than done, but every problem in our life can have a probably solution and even a friend that you can go to around the corner. You just have to open up and find that right person, and find that it's the simple things in life that actually inspires you to be who you are, and to be yourself in the different situations of the day.

   These moments of absolutely Cool Saturdays will always have a place in my heart. Sometimes, I wish I never left that room where joy was once shared. But leaving the room symbolically calls us to go out of our space to love different people for who they are, and to spread the sweetness of having a chance to be an inspiration to others while filling up our own Love Banks.

   I love you, kids. Stay young and stay bright.

Secrets You Keep

Something I created not too long ago.. One of those times that were.. 

Sleepless

Tell me,

How different parts of the body

can mimic so much on metaphors

and deep meanings on love and life?

Maybe these questions can tell you

or make you wonder

how I dream to untangle you,

from different bonds of work and stress

Have I ever crossed your mind,

In the midst of the crowd that you allure?

Suddenly thought of a man waiting for you?

So many crossroads of different storybooks

How I wish you would take a stroll upon mine.

Have I ever crossed your mouth,

in the middle of thousands of conversations?

Did you ever want to say a secret?

Simply uttering my name once,

would be music only to my ears on repeat.

Have I ever crossed your heart?

In between those who are in love with you?

Did you know that you already had a heart in your pocket?

I am no good looking man,

but I can offer you a lifetime of warmth and sunshine.

Tell me.

I am dying to know.

Reminders

I've been thinking. There are many things around us that would remind us of different memories, instances, and people. Have you ever stumbled upon a kind of chocolate bar in a grocery store and then suddenly remembered that there was this person who actually made you try it? Then you would remember those times when you would spend with that person like it was only the both of you in the world? Or when the times wherein you would see a bear and someone told you to remember him/her when you needed a hug to hug the stuffiest of all those stuff toys? Or have you ever sought going out a football match in the UEFA Champions League in front of a crowd of 60,000 fans for the final match?

Everywhere I go, there seems to be something distinct about every person which attaches them to these things. It is not only for the the purpose of those objects, but it also involves the priceless and indescribable meaning that is attached to that person. The significance and the momentum that drives you to want and spend more time with him/her or that hobby you've always wanted doing. I've also wondered (after all these thoughtful evenings), what ever happened to these relationships that seemed like the best of everything that we ever experienced with that certain someone? Maybe it's just true that most of us would miss that certain person, or that thing that makes us truly happy.

 It's the dream that you will get to do these things that will keep us going.

Action? Yes. There can be two actions rooted from situations like these.

One, you can do nothing. (but seriously, who would ever want to do this?)

Two, is to make it a point that you would actually get in touch with that person, or do that hobby that you love. Go kick a football and play in your community field. (hey, it's not as good as going out playing for the biggest European Cup ever, but at least you're doing what you love) Give that person you've always missed a phone call and catch up with him or her. Who knows? Maybe you would want to revive those old feelings and moments that you always used to have. (sigh)

It reminds us to have the action in our lives while we constantly wake up everyday realizing what in the world we're here in the first place. Even try making a crazy list that you on those things and people that you want to be with. It wouldn't hurt at all to do all these things, especially when you realize that our time here on Earth is too short. Instead, it will give us the drive and inspiration to do something we've always wanted and show the side in ourselves that was (and always will be) beautiful.

Hello, and Goodevening. How was your day?

Oh and one more thing...

I just wanted you to know,

That I deeply miss you.

You know who you are.

Tomorrow's Gifts

Here we are. As mentioned, I am extra inspired tonight. This is my first poem in years. Hopefully, this will be a prologue to what I will be posting here (which will be more in detail of course). Experiences that have happened to me in recent times cannot be summed up with just a few words bunched up in four stanzas.. Nonetheless, enjoy your read. Good evening.

My dear,

tell me what tomorrow brings.

Another adventure perhaps?

(finally), a new escapade of love?

Nonetheless..

what always escapes me

and most of the people,

is a beautiful chance to experience.

A chance to see the sun rise,

and see different smiles of new people.

A chance to see the beauty of creation

and its eccentric ways of tantalizing you.

It is waking up to something unknown.

That my dear I wish to see with you everyday.

I could tell you with the moon's slumber

that I could not wait for it to happen.

Revitalize

I'm back. Looking back on the start of the school year, it has been very plain on the start. But with the addition of BMS and the importance of my family to my life, I shall write about these in more ways now. Sharing more thoughts and feelings while adding a few poems along the way. Cheers to blogging once again. Excited and stoked for what this year will bring me! Been wanting to do this for the longest time.

It just seems that thoughts are sometimes too valuable to let go, and you would want to keep a piece of them with you forever.

I tweet too.

For more updates, do not hesitate to follow me @franconavarra

Hang on while I watch my favorite team Manchester City play!
After which, I shall post a new poem. I feel (extra) inspired tonight.
