Robert Uy Poems

I lost my first thought in the morning
I lost my prayer in the night
I lost the only joy of living
I lost the direction of my life
...

What you are to me,
What you mean,
If you could see you through my eyes,
Comprehension would come clear.
...

A treasure more precious
Than gems or gold,
And paid for by most
At any price,
...

The slow-falling sun shall soon kiss the sea,
Those two forlorn lovers to meet finally;
The sea blushes red from feeling the warmth
Emanating from within the sun’s hearth
...

Here I am
Stranded between this and your goodbye.

You,
...

When does forever become an option?

Only when one can still find
Inspiration for living
...

Where once I could only taste
Sweet as sweetness should be,
Now there is only but
A sense of hostility
...

When Ego, with his narcisstic sense,
Wants to be held high in regard,
He uses brickstones of Self-confidence
To build himself a tall pedestal
...

Why do I torture myself with illusions
that she will be mine someday?
Though my wants are not always
what's right,
...

A stranger, somewhere, there exists,
Someone I can never be;
A thief who'd pilfer what I
Treasure most so easily.
...
