When we two parted (by Lord Byron)







When we two parted
In silence and tears
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years.

Pale grew thy cheek and cold
Colder thy kiss
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sank chill on my brow—
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.

Thy vows are all broken
And light is thy fame:
I hear thy name spoken
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me—
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee
Who knew thee too well:—
Long, long shall I rue thee
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met—
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget
Thy spirit deceive.

If I should meet thee
After long years
How should I greet thee?—
With silence and tears.

I miss you!















Yesterday has gone
Today is almost over
Tomorrow has yet to come
And I’m missing you!

It was so nice
Full of dreams and warm thoughts
With desires quite pure
I can’t even tell
Who saw who first for sure?

It was almost perfect!
Two hearts enjoined
One love… one spirit… one soul.

I miss you… I yearn for you
‘would like to be near you
And hold you close
Here in my heart.
(for my only son-Byron Joseph)

Heartbeat # 31- Gone


Those times when we get to laugh out loud
times when we get to talk so fast
the times when you tried to tell a joke but i didnt get it but smiled
those times when you fill my world with love.. or was it?
times when we both share the oneness in our hearts...

They are gone now... gone with everything i cherished
gone with my deepest care and passion within me
gone with my dreams of getting closer and dearer
gone with the wind, they say.

It's sad, trully sad

when i don't see you anymore
when i can't see you anymore
when i should not see you anymore
when i must not see you anymore...
when i would not be with you anymore
when i must not be with you anymore
when i should not be with you anymore
when i can't be with you anymore...

What's left with life, huh

You should have cared
you should have sensed it
you should have listened
you should have shared
you should have LOVED.

Heartbeat # 30- On letting go and coping with it…

Sure thing everyone has experienced some frustrations, whether at work, with a person or in a relationship. Young and old alike, both are susceptible to misunderstandings and disappointments, which leads to bitterness in dealings and emotions. Everybody does a couple of unexpected tantrums (that’s why they are called such, anyway) whenever they are hurt or emotionally low. But do not let them overtake you, instead, learn from it and move on….

Sounds simple to undertake huh, but mind you, it is not.

Coping with the misfortunes and disappointments in a relationship, means a great deal of sacrifice and hard work. It needs one to be brave and honest with the feelings experienced in time. It allows a person to be succumbed to the dark truth, which, in effect causes such sadness.

Perhaps one reason for this is: too much expectations. If you allow yourself to be drowned with the things the other party can or would do for you then, you need to examine yourself.

Being in realm with another person’s life, deals not only with that person’s well being but also the hard reality of the situation itself. And realizing such, the fact remains that life itself is hard enough to cope with much less a friendship.

It is true they say: REALITY BITES!

Heartbeat #29: Where art thou my Jo

From thee I begot
Thy love and soul;

From thee I shared
thy passion of thy heart;

From thee I cherished
Thy wisdom of thy mind;

And From thee I offered
my life and spirit.

For whatever purpose
Of thy self to mine

I shall but honor Thy being
eternally.

Year of the DOG!

Aaarf! arf! arf! arf! Here, dogie, dogie! Come here boy!
As we know it already, this coming year 2006 is dedicated to man's best friend, the ... Dog! What a mighty year it would surely be!

Dogs are nice and cuddly and kind and... romantic in some ways. But honestly speaking, i can't keep any dog inside the house. Outside, perhaps! Afterall, they are out with watchful eyes if any intruder comes breaking in, right? I hope this coming year would give us new beginnings and more aspirations to live a better, more meaningful and friutful life! With this thought please allow me to say a prayer:

May this coming year lead all of us

to rekindle our spirit with true LOVE

clear our minds with HAPPINESS

be bestowed with more WISDOM

and be given new HOPE;

May the good LORD grant us PEACE

in our hearts to share it with the rest of the family;

And may we i be renewed with HUMILITY

and PERSEVERANCE

AMEN.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
