as these regrets chase me in the darkness
i wait for the rain to come and wash me
as i save myself from this foolishness
i wonder if i can still reclaim the sanity

so let the rain fall despite the silence
it is its tour de force in this broken world
let the rain fall and revert my existence
so that from these odds I would be hurdled

another cycle, another history repeating
yet the learning has never been grasped
perhaps the reason for my heart breaking
when will the yearning be clasped?

hush, my rain; yes my dear, hush
it was not my intention to fall to the trap
yes dear rain, i will refrain from being slush
just help me get out from this mishap

it's the quarter now and i have to calm down
it is no use drying my eyes with these tears
i should let go of the hurt and get rid of the frown
it's time to burn now the hopes and the fears

so where do i go and what should i do?
these are the questions i prefer to unshackle
i have gone tired of the blue
i am now leaving the pinnacle

Raincheck please, raincheck.

As this head of mine are filled with questions,
Slowly I am devoured by my self-preservations.

Thus here I am beseeching thee an inquiry:
If affection and destiny would not coincide,
I ask thee --- where dost thou think I should abide?

As I let these tears of mine wash away yours,
Would you care to accompany me in this course?
But why is it that you are fading away from me,
Tell me, is this really how it should meant to be?

Oh no! You just did not know ---
Thoughts of you are now imprinting a smile on my face,
A memory which I don't think I can dare to erase.
It may be so senseless, yet I think it would be my grace -
To be with you, together with me, in that sweet embrace.

But raincheck dear, I beg thee raincheck.
Why am I retreating, I can sense a coming wreck.
I can hear it within, I can hear it loud and clear,
My cynicism's surfacing inflaming the fear.
Oh why, oh why? 'Tis horror is chasing me.
I wonder if I can bear it; let me see, let me see.

With these vexations, I pause and I stop.
I don't think it's possible, I fall and I drop.
Was it you, was it me, or was the feeling just a fancy
It's time for me, I guess, to let go of this fantasy.
So I decided to walk towards my solitude,
Praying and wishing for my own fortitude:
Sooner or later, I will be granted beatitude.

As I trudge alone this rocky journey,
Along the road I have found a key.
At first I was wounded then I was terrified,
How could I ever abandon the little of my pride?
So I asked for Death to be mine for a while
So that I can be freed but not from this life
Liberated from the assumptions that I've been breathing for this time
Assumptions that will surely bring me to my own demise

With messed up thoughts and messed up emotions
I am too ashamed to look at my ruined reflections
I have committed a crime which is too grim for mercy
A crime I have committed which now pulls me back to misery
So this is the phase where I hate myself much
How could I ever concede with the touch?
I have betrayed myself, an act so deleterious
An embarassment that is too grave and serious
Oh no! This is too dangerous!

So raincheck dear, raincheck.
Lest my body will be laid down on that tormented deck.
I plea for the rain to come and be hurry
For only the rain can wash away this idiocy.
As I gather myself from this tremendous fall,
I am now more aware that I can't really have it all.
It's sad, true, absolutely catastrophic!
But no, no --- there will never be a magic.
To my fateful life, save me but not from the tragedy
But from the certainty of my preordained folly.

A cup of coffee
In a chilly evening
Along with the melody
Of the rain pouring.

Ah, 'tis life!
What a bliss,
Beauty in rife
None should amiss!

Not the coldness,
Nor the disquietude,
Fill the emptiness
But with beautitude.

As the star is its own,
And so is humanity;
That must be sown
Not only individuality.

One sip towards serenity,
Let it be the pleasure;
Away from the vanity,
From the so-called treasure

Hear now the rain
Be with its ease;
Listen not with vain,
And it shall cease.

Feel the wind,
Breathe the air;
Do not be pinned,
By the bare.

This fleeting sensation
Although very shallow
Has cast a confusion
With a very great blow

Despite the complexity
I proceeded unguarded
Hence the melancholy
I, myself, inflicted

What an obvious end!
What a pitiful tragedy!
Nothing new in the trend
Thus the same misery

So I pray for the rainfall
Wash away the stupidity
I just think I stand tall
And reclaim my dignity

emptiness haunts
as reality flaunts
when will i learn
stop the yearn?
nothing’s new
still in grayed hue
insecurities widening
courage faltering
yet…
the rain continues
smearing their views
the rain comforts
reorganizing all sorts
when did the rain halt
after the storm’s assault
left me crying over the rainbow
where will i go?
can you see it?
can you feel it?
can you hear it?
can you sense it?
the rain piercing my heart
tormenting the part
is it self-inflicted?
or thought-incited?
let me weep in silent
as the rain could not prevent
let me die in secret
while the rain is not set

your cold shoulders
giving me the chills
your replies in terse
undoing all the seals

you have pulled the trigger
now you are holding back
you left me to hover
until i finally lost track

or

could

it

be

that...


my cold shoulders
gave you the chills
my replies in terse
have undone the seals

but i tried to reach out,
yet you make me felt unseen
i have even let go of the doubt
hence, my pain is very keen

so i wish...

for the rain to fall
to heal my heart
to lose it all
for a brand new start

so for the moment...
i will just...

drop a tear
to wash away the pain
embrace the fear
until i meet the rain

goodbye sweet love
'til then
goodbye dear love
never again

i drop
rain fall

as i stand under the naked tree
waiting for you to come to me
i realized i have learned to defy
your goodness by and by

i sit down and waited for your fall
all the memories i tried to recall
you feel for me when i couldn't do it anymore
yet i have chosen to forget and worst closed the door

i watch as i hear your coming
amazed by the mystery you bring
you came then you fell
i remorse but no one could tell

comforter

when the rain fill the holes
what would become of me?

not loneliness nor desolation
not even reclusion neither isolation
shall bring me redemption

the chilling winds of the rain
increasing the strain
will they be able to recognize me
should reality unmasks my identity

do forgive me
i am not what i am supposed to be
the rain had failed to cover me
stripping me off my little dignity
which i left hanging in mystery

would it be just
if i blame it all to the wind?
or how about the rain,
my comforter
my consoler
who deserted me
in the time of my need

the rain illuminates
casting a gloomy shadow
the veracity it dictates
is being hoed by the bow
strangling me to death
depriving me of my fantasy
my fantasy of reality
my fantasy of existence
my fantasy of innocence

it is nonsense
everything is nothing but meaningless
am i not the student
of the teacher who is wise but powerless
let alone gullibility
let alone luxury
let alone immaturity
let alone invincibility

can you hear the pitter-patter
of my cries of hopes and anger
can you see the tears
of my selfishness and fears
it is hard to accept
yet acceptance is the last piece
for the puzzle of bliss
but completion is a dream
of the unruffled stream

the clouds of dark met the light
but the rain hadn't stopped
go on with eternal fight
and let the rain be cupped
with remorse and regret
breathe and i shall be freed
from this anxiety i bleed
pour down but don't wash away
let my pathetic traces stay
as it is my greatest masterpiece

the rain fell
as i fell
'twas a mistake
for heaven's sake

stupid cranial
on denial
realization occured
cardio injured

the sky cried
i died
a tear dropped
hand cupped

false alarm
lonely swarm
face beamed
unskimmed

Pardon my rain,
should it fall so hard
It just got out of sane
and now is in discard

Pardon my rain
if it keeps on pouring
It does not want to be a vain
for the clouds enduring

Pardon my rain
should it get so wild
Let it not be a bane
for it is just but a child

Pardon my rain
if it stays longer
Let not your heart disdain
for in time it will be over

Pardon my rain
let it be fain
Unshackle the chain
let it not restrain

Just pardon my rain,
'til my rain no more

reclusive

i am now alone
literally alone

and for this reason
i have realized a lot of things
a lot of things

i am a person of no good
there are times that all i want to do is scream
scream with all my voice
until i can scream no more

some times, all i want to do is run and fly
feel free and touch the sky
even though i am not a swimmer
i wish to swim in the ocean
and explore the beauty it possess

indeed, John Mayer is right
"I am invincible, i am invincible,
i am invincible, as long as i am alive"
and i thank God for giving me such strength
should i die, may my invincibility
be passed through to those people
who are slowly dying and feeling so hopeless

the world is a heaven
it just depends on you
it depends on me
the world is a heaven
we just need to open our eyes
and take a see
the world is a heaven as God had created it

This is not a poem whatsoever
this is just an expression of freedom
an expression of self-liberation
of self-emancipation
and breaking the rules of grammar
is just like flying with the eagles in the sky
like running with the lions in the wild
and swimming with the sharks in the sea

I am free
I am feeling wild and free
I am free
and i just love the feeling of being free
I am free
and i thank God for freeing me
I am free
and i am having the greatest time of my life
no problems, no strife

And for the last verse,
This will not be a terse
I just had finished screaming
I just had finished shouting
It's fun to be crazy
It's fun to be carried away by insanity
After composing this whatever-you-may-want-to-call-it
I will be back in the world of the "sane"
I will speak, i will talk just like them
I may act like them, but hope not to think like them

I asked the rain to drop last night
I asked the rain to cover up my sight
I have felt the need of falling down
I need to fall down so that i won't drown

As i waited for the rain to grant my request
I lied on the rooftop and put myself to rest
I saw the clouds passing me by
I smiled and i wished to die

And then a raindrop landed on my left cheek
I feel glee, i feel slick
I smiled and i thank my Creator
This world, I have learned not to abhor

I was the rain, i fell and i drop
I am the rain, i fell and i drop
I love the rain and the rain love me
I thank the rain for giving me serenity

Oh Rain, oh Rain
My dear, precious Rain
Some people may despise our falling
But know that God has a reason for everything

Oh Rain, oh Rain
My dear precious Rain
I thank you for washing all my pain
And i thank my Lord for not leaving me in vain

Oh Rain please fall down today
Please fall down so that my pain be washed away
Let me hear you splatter on the ground
So that serenity i may found

Oh Rain please fall down today
Don't let this feeling stay
Give me freedom, give me peace
Put my being into ease

I have been gloomy for quite some time
I can't unravel the perfect rhyme
Oh please dear Rain, fall down on me
Console my weary soul, comfort me

Below is my first poem about rain... I am planning to publish my compilation of poems about rain but i am not sure yet if i am going to push through with it but i am hoping so... anyway, i hope you would enjoy my poem...



I am the rain;
I fell, I drop
Because I have to
and I have to
Because I need to
and I need to

I am the rain;
I fell, I drop
For the darkness
is already here
I have to fall
I need to fall

I am the rain;
I fell, I drop
On the ground,
On the rocky ground
Under the sea,
Under the deep blue sea


I am the rain;
I fell, I drop
Out of loneliness,
Out of sadness
Out of stupidity,
Out of folly

I am the rain;
I fell, I drop
Continuously,

Silently

I am the rain;
I fell, I drop
In solitude
I fell
And…
I…
….
drop.
