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
...

When years have etched deep carvings on our faces
And December morns are kind to us no more
Then our joints and bones must have gone so brittle
That getting up from bed’s become a chore
...

Every one that has come
and gone in my life
are just passing acquaintances,
...

Crowd the room with alien thoughts,
Maybe young, maybe not;
Shapeless they may be
Or shaped a tad too differently.
...

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