On Different Thoughts Poem by Jordan Legaspi

I master the silence of my head, but I cannot hold the solitude of my heart

*** *** ***
I have the most talkative eyes, that in one blink, is a story of life and death

*** *** ***
I cried many tears but what it is for, if I remain nothing but man of pity

*** *** ***
I can climb the highest mountain but I cannot climb your head

*** *** ***
I handed you the tools but why, until now your car doesn’t work

*** *** ***
I know you are my friend because even your hands cannot wash the way I can’t from the crime of ignorance were we both come from

*** *** ***
I know I admire you but it’s enough to know you because I love somebody who died for me

*** *** ***
I know they cannot comprehend what I mean but I know others will come and start to understand

*** *** ***
I wore my shoes and took my leave but I left my feet behind

*** *** ***
I find good friend in Jesus, but what can I have from you?

*** *** ***
I ate the food you offered to my table
I drank the wine you poured in my cup
but why you didn’t give me your name

*** *** ***
Children of innocence were rubbed by their education

*** *** ***
It is easy to go but not to leave home

*** *** ***
You kill me every time you close the door

*** *** ***
Life is not a matter of destiny it is a matter of choice

*** *** ***
The cruelty of death is like of that un-welcomed bride

*** *** ***
My eyes can tell the unheard stories of blindness

*** *** ***
Honesty is a virtue, but it is stupidity, at times it leads you to your death

*** *** ***
My head can lead you into somewhere, but my heart can keep you to stay

*** *** ***
Your sweet words that keep me alive each day, were the words that cause my blood

*** *** ***
Women hold fashion with pride, while men obey their passion with prejudice
