Mark Trajano

Rose petals fell on the floor
in the freshest color of red.
Swaying dramatically towards the end,
the feeling of ecstasy filled the room.
...

We shall sail unto grand celestial seas
floating on Cupid's beautiful breeze.
Will that make her heart fly and kiss and be pleased?
For my love unbound and knows no cease.
...

Trending fashion of superficial beauty
seeps into the souls of those caught
in tides of complicated insanity;
dancing in what life it has brought.
...

Most things are left for one to discover;
as arrows of cupid fly setting moods,
revealing true hearts' lovely intention
kisses slowly melted the hard cover.
...

Why don't you throw a kiss or two my way?
Will it be tomorrow or today?
So you'll know, I'll be praying you'll stay
Right in my arms where our heartbeats will play.
...

You can ask forgiveness from the night
the only witness with caring breath.
Pleading for compassion’s slight sight
you kissed the ground as you would to death.
...

Held by the hands of fright,
choking the lamp with blight.
Burning so brightly, once, it did,
now struggling; abiding death’s bid.
...

Longing, I have been, for a place to rest,
Longing for a place of no test,
Does not matter if it’s from the east nor west.
Years were counted and forgotten along the way,
...

My sword shares the life I'm having;
Every strike is precious progress,
Ev'ry moment my blade's singing
A warrior's hymn to the goddess.
...

The fragrance of Sampaguita filled the night
so slowly and calmy, things felt bright.
Not hidden in the dark, they look like fairies in white
giving a scent of comfort and delight.
...

My eyes are blurring,
my heart is pounding.
How did I ever get to feel this way
when we had little time and words to say?
...

Forgive me, my Mother, that this is in foreign tongue,
A tongue I find more accommodating than yours,
Yours which I see a bearer of poison- dev'lish fang.
One of such that will strike with absurd ominous force
...

I never expected anything,
But it struck fast, on point, like lightning.
Finding myself among young ones
I slowly made my way, like a dance,
...

My mind travels to a garden filled with vibrant colors,
Music thst never fades and helps in regaining my wit;
Arranged to delight even the most weary in spirit
With every stroke of my pencil to create such wonders.
...

I touch the Divine that resides in me
offering her all that is pure,
delighting in this ecstatic cure;
surrendering to her all that can be.
...

Do You hear me crying my soul out
questioning my whole existence?
Unknown to me is my life's route
I grow tired of the word persistence.
...

Are you the one whom the Universe has sent to me
To ease my pressures and anxiety?
Are you the one whom the world fated for me
To rid me of my fears and worry?
...

You light up my soul like no one else
even when my darkness is unknown to you.
...

Tayo na ba para sa isa't-isa habambuhay?
Ako na ba ang pipiliin sa hirap at tagumpay?
Ikaw na kaya ang tunay na nilaan ni tadhana
sa lawak ng langit at lupa?
...

Remember that your whole being is divine
no matter how far of a decline,
God's Love does always shine.
Your darkness may seem infinite
