Longings of the Heart




How i long to see your name on my wall, liking, commenting
the way you do it with your friends
but that is next to impossible.

How i long to see your messages on my phone
the way you do with your text mates,
but that is wanting for a miracle.

How i long for you to spend time with me
the way you do with your drinking buddies
but that is like asking for the stars

how i long to put you out of my heart
the way you put me out of yours
but that is same as asking forever to end.

Phenomenal Woman

by: Maya Angelou


Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman
That's me. 

Heart, we will forget him!

by: Emily Dickinson


Heart, we will forget him,
You and I, tonight!
You must forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done pray tell me,
Then I, my thoughts, will dim.
Haste! ‘lest while you’re lagging
I may remember him!

Because She Would Ask Me Why I Loved Her

by Christopher Brennan


If questioning would make us wise
No eyes would ever gaze in eyes;
If all our tale were told in speech
No mouths would wander each to each.

Were spirits free from mortal mesh
And love not bound in hearts of flesh
No aching breasts would yearn to meet
And find their ecstasy complete.

For who is there that lives and knows
The secret powers by which he grows?
Were knowledge all, what were our need
To thrill and faint and sweetly bleed?.

Then seek not, sweet, the "If" and "Why"
I love you now until I die.
For I must love because I live
And life in me is what you give.

Annabel Lee


by: Edgar Allan Poe

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;--
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love--
I and my Annabel Lee--
With a love that the wingéd seraphs in Heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her high-born kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre,
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me--
Yes!--that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we--
Of many far wiser than we--
And neither the angels in Heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:--

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:--
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling--my darling--my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea--
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

How do I love thee?

by: Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Love Along Miles

thinking about you
Makes my heart beat
And seeing you
Makes my day complete

Now, I don't want to see you
Cause I know time would come
For you to wave goodbye
And for you my heart might die

Yes, time had really come
For you to leave and go
This feelings of mine is damn
Cause it hurts me so

How stupid am i
Allowing my feelings to grow
Even though i know
That i won't see you anymore

Trying to make
This feelings be erased
Still, it's like a lake
Growing wide and won't cease

You have waved me goodbye
and i would be left waiting
But still, my love for you
Will fly along miles

Illusion of Love













i have known you
like no other else have ever known you
i have talked to you
like no other else have ever talked to you

i have given you something
something i have not given to anyone
i have told you everything
so to everything you know
i have loved you

like I have loved for the first time
You have love me like I am the last

But then….
this is just my illusion
for the reality is…


You are someone everyone could have
but someone I could never have
You are someone I could talk about anything
but not talk about me and you

You are someone
who forever remain to be a dream
A dream
I could never reach

Because You are
my illusion of love.

Love Hurts

It's hard to love
When you've been hurt
it's better to hate
And on loving, be late

But i didn't know
That the more i hate you
The more feelings on my heart grew
Because of my unexpected love for you

My heart which was once lock
Is now open because of the knock
The knock which is the love
For you that i have

Since I met the guy - YOU
That on me you said "hi"
A lot of me have changed
Cause in my heart, you took charge

But still part of my heart is left
The part of being afraid
Afraid of being hurt again
Hurt because of loving - YOU

A 'lil Fantasy

I've seen a lot in books
About guys who have a lot of looks
I've seen a lot in dreams
Lovers whose heart gleams

These are just dreams and just looks
You shouldn't be hook
They are all fantasy
To cover life's reality

For everyone has a meaning
To everything that is happening
To our world full of sorrow
We don't even know if we have a tomorrow

The world which is tasty
Is the world of fantasy
Full of mystery and wonder
Where your heart could ponder

Yes it could be true
Fantasy could not be reality
But it's also true
Reality is good when there's a 'lil fantasy

i love you

i love you
three sweet words
i'd like to tell you
to let you know how i feel for you

i love you
so simple to read, yet hard to say
especially if it is on you i would say
cause i know it comes from my heart

i love you
words which are so sacred
you shouldn't say if your only playing
for on me it could only hurt

i love you
words which becomes nonsense
if you don't show
what it's real meaning is

i love you
From your mouth i want to hear
to let me know
if we've shared the same feelings too

i love you
it may take me years to tell you
but when i do so,
there'd be no doubt on what i'd say to you
