a drop of life

I'm planning to take a part 2 on this or i should not, now i wonder...

 

 

~Love~

 

I never knew that feeling

A word without meaning

…A stranger to what I felt…

Thought it’s strange that I knew it so well

 

 

~Life~

 

I walk by with you as I talk about you

…Existence is a mere essence…

It’s the life underneath my roots

My whole being is defined of what I decide about you

 

 

~choices~

 

I kept on thinking of you

A mystery in every event I stumble upon

Nonetheless your part of me that i fully submit

Facing and standing still

In all the consequences and risk

I have brought upon

in the end

Despite all those obstacles

I know deep within me

There will come a time

I’ll be able to dance

…In rhythm of contentment…

 

 

~dream~

 

You’re in my fantasy

…You’re in my Jar of unfulfilled wishes…

I walk in your clouds of heavenly sky

Reality slaps me too many times

Yet no matter how painful reality is

I still go to your realm

And dream an endless dream

Of my unfulfilled wonderings

Wishing & hoping

 

 

~Alive~

 

Living is as much as fading

Purpose of what I suppose

Is just another make-up prose

Of my days

Principles are timeless

…Endless…

Old yet golden

Though some are forgotten

throughout the pages of history

faded

But then they're relived now

Through experiences

As life goes on and on

As you live by

In its circling Journey

 

 

~Freedom~

 

I can’t be with you

as I am chained

Much controlled

Much reserved

Much more refined

…As if I’m bound to be blocked…

Locked within a nut shell

I guess being free isn’t allowed

Without hard labor

Seems to me that you found someone with whom you felt almost at home, let's say, then as things progressed, you began to wonder about the different aspects of your so far independent lifestyle... hence your thoughts come under the sub.titles. The thoughts you placed under each are rather like the negatives and positives one can use to help make an important decision. But the all telling areas are the 'Alive and Freedom .. they wrap up what's come before, gradually release you in that place you were before. Maybe you 'escape' knowing far more about yourself and armed for the next time! Considerable thought processes above.

dear Ms. Em's,
i truly appreciate your insight on how to read my words. Independent Lifestyle made me more mature in understanding life.... i so love the lines on alive and freedom for they say so much of what's life's outcome(i think). I just wish I'm much armed for what life throw's at us, otherwise I'm always prepared now. Writing really helps me understand the ways of life and the reviews made me understand it more better than myself. Thank you so much.
your friendly neighbor,
w.Pax :)

[emmajoy]

Now you've added that, will later read your post again. :) My pleasure and interest.

[emmajoy]

You have a very fine way of living in and looking into your world. Life should be a good and sweet one for you, Pax. Truly pray it is.

[Pax]

oh, i didn't notice you here :), I'm praying every-night that every tomorrow will be ok and fine just as today... thank you greatly ms. Em's...

I am not surprised by your words. I know how good you are in writing. What I really mind now are those pics of eyes. I guess they're yours. Hope you post another part of your face on part 2 so that I could clearly imagine the face of my Kabayan. Ha ha!

[Pax]

lol... yes... its me... and wow thanks... I'm quite shy in person and in here too so that is why i only show my eyes here... someday i found a courage to fully face reality..then i will post my pic.. though i have my full face(just covered) in my photos section... the eyes are the only thing i am confident about myself... thank you for reading this kabayan, i really appreciate that..

[ewest1220]

Well. That really got me thinking this is one of the best things I've read in awhile. I love the Alive stanza and I love how you separated each theme. Very well done and an excellent read! This one's going in my favorites.

[Pax]

[Pax]

dearest friend... how are you.. thanks, I'm glad you found this piece enjoyable... and oh, i didn't count that... it was six indeed... and thanks for understanding the deeper meaning. :)

You're so welcome, six is magick to me.... :) you did a splendid job on this one, in the little time I have in between the hospital visits, I try to be here for you guys, missing you all, but there is too many to read, and too less time, but I come slowly back for everyone :) hope you're ok too dear... I wished for more free time to hang around here :D xx

[Pax]

nah, its ok... priorities are priorities right ;), you have to do your best in life outside for its much more important, we are just here to support you.. .. your first foundation is your family and that's important... take care always... we miss u too... hugs..

[gabrielle]

Most literary pieces would dwell only on single concept as a main theme. In here, you were able to encapsulate the concepts of love, life, choices, dreams, living and freedom in one amazing piece.

On a personal note, of all these thoughts/concepts mentioned, i find freedom to be the most interesting as, i, myself is constantly longing for freedom from consequences. But as mentioned in your piece, freedom is something to be worked on. Which makes me think, will there be a time that my aspirations for freedom be fulfilled? Thank you for sharing this. It was really good to have something to reflect on.

[Pax]

dear kabayan,
i thank you for seeing the concept of the insights i shared in wc. Yes, freedom.. I always talk about balance about life and i find freedom is the most hardest to balance among all of the above. Aren't we constantly reaching for freedoms wings everyday, starting from oneself. Like you said we are prisoners of our own consequences and for me expectations we created which is part of our choices... i could only say we must find our balance and learned from the consequences we had experienced. keep learning kabayan.
your friendly neighbor,
w.Pax:)

Beautiful Piece about peace. Great work Mr Pax

[Pax]

thank you my friend... I'm truly glad you read my work...

[†Tracey†]

I really could feel the pondering of each word by the way you presented it.. I love the unique style and the truth in the words..xo

[Pax]

its nice to see your around my friend, thank you for the visit and review. I'm glad you have felt the emotions in it :)

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I enjoyed your pondering............wonderfully penned!

[Pax]

thank you my friend... I'm glad you enjoyed my writings.. as well as i enjoyed yours... :)

[Androglossia]

A philosopher in the making? That is my narrow way of putting it, kabayan:) Your poem is like a fruit salad tree, a collection of philosophies of your own. Maybe because there is not a single subject to which man can more fitly give his attention to.

Your poem deals with the greatest problems that confront human soul, value, God, immortality and the meaning of life. Simple observations dissolved in thought. Excellent!

[Pax]

i wish, but I'm not... my brian is too small for that. :)... i like the way you describe my poem... i always love fruit salad... thank you so much kabayan... your excellent yourself as well.. :D

[Androglossia]

Haha! fruit salad naman na pagkain nasa isip mo eh. Wala ganyan sa Saudi, it's only in the Philippines. Joke! May fruit salad tree naman talaga, google mo nga. And no, the faculty of our thinking is vast and immeasurable. We are the only one putting a limitation. So don't ever think that your brain is too small. You're a good writer and not everyone has the ability to do that. Rock on, kabayan!

[Pax]

lol... oo nga eh... my love for food is really shown..hehe.. and yes na google ko nga.. and meron nga noh... salamat kabayan that's a great boster for confidence...

[Marie]

You say so much about these things with your simple words. We all have love, life; pierced by our dreams...longing for freedom...

[Pax]

you say so short marie that sums up the entire poem... that is truly great wisdom you have :). thank you very much!
