"SEX is FOOD!"

Sex is not all about making children. You must be a different woman to your husband every time. Seduce your husband, don't always allow your husband to ask for Sex, there must be no timetable for sex. Be creative, don't be predictable. Give him what he wants. If you loose influence over your husband, you have lost womanhood. Be part of your husband's plans.

Don't have too many children, you wanna sell them? Allow your husband to check in and out anytime. When a man is sexually satisfied, he is emotionally stable. Stop saying, is it food? Yes, sex is food!!!

As a wife, try to invest in yourself spiritually so you can adequately support him. Build yourself as his prayer warrior so that you will not be forced to pray at the end of your life. Don't allow your husband to provide all your needs, he is not a money making machine. Iron sharpens iron, try to reciprocate.

You are meant to support each other spiritually, financially, physically and morally through thick and thin. You are a builder....Wise woman buildeth her home. Women need wisdom to build their homes. Do not be too outspoken, know when to talk, when to listen and when to be quiet.

Love your husband with all your heart, never tell him, if not because of my children, remember you've known him before the arrival of those children. Pamper your husband, put his head on your chest and pray for him. Give him unannounced kiss from the back, don't be too holy to kiss in the public. He is your husband for God sake. Be romantic, it is good for the heart. Some people are not happy that you're happy in that marriage, proof them wrong that you love him and he is your crown, always feel good when you hold him. Don't look 50 while you're still under 40, it drives men crazy. Always keep fit regardless of your age or body.

To men:

Do not take a woman who does all these for granted! Pamper her, pray for her, cherish her, love her, support her financially, make her feel like your woman! God bless you and your marriages.

"Our LOVE in our LIFETIME"

It's been said that we really only fall in love with three people in our lifetime. Yet, it's said that we need each of these loves for a different reason.

Often our first is when we are young, high school even. It's the idealistic love; the one that seems like the fairy tales we are all read as children.

It's a love that looks right.

The second is supposed to be our hard love; the one that teaches us lessons about who we are and how we often want or need to be loved. Sometimes it's unhealthy, unbalanced or narcissistic even.

It's the love that we wished was right.

And the third is the love we never see coming. The one that usually comes dressed as all wrong for us and that destroys any lingering ideals we clung to about what love is supposed to be.

It's the love that just feels right.

Maybe we don't all experience these loves in this lifetime; but perhaps that's just because we aren't ready to. Possibly maybe we need a whole lifetime to learn or maybe if we're lucky it only takes a few years.

And there may be those people who fall in love once and find it passionately lasts until their last breath. Someone once told me they are the lucky ones; and perhaps they are.

But I kinda think that those who make it to their third love are really the lucky ones.

They are the ones who are tired of having to try and whose broken hearts lay beating in front of them wondering if there is just something inherently wrong with how they love.

But there's not; it's just a matter of if someone loves in the same way that they do or not.

And maybe there's something special about our first love, and something heartbreakingly unique about our second...but there's also just something about our third.

The one we never see coming.

The one that actually lasts.

The one that shows us why it never worked out before.

And it's that possibility that makes trying again always worthwhile, because the truth is you never know when you'll stumble into love.

"Sir Lancelot's Ode to Lady Guenevere..."

How I wished I was NUMB...
        But then I couldn't have felt thy reciprocation even for a whilst;

I wished, too, to be MUTE...
        But then again if I was, thou wouldn't have known of thine true feelings for thee;

Still, I wished I was BLIND...
        But then, too, I would've failed seeing thine love deep within thy mesmerizing eyes.

Aye, FATE was so cruel to have bested me faculties
But so sweet to make me realize

That if I didn't see...
            didn't feel...
            nor didn't speak...

I wouldn't have known that I am capable
            of knowing...
            of loving...
            of revering someone...

In just three mornings...

Yet suffer it FOREVER!

"The Fight"

How does one bear the hurt,
How does one deal with pain...
Until when can he keep
What's driving him insane (?)


How can he gag his heart
And keep it from yearning
What it can't really have
And shouldn't be keeping (?)


How can he fake his smiles
With his heart on his sleeves...
Feigning a cheerful mood
While his grieving heart bleeds (?)


How can he keep his eyes
From hiding all his fears
If behind its sparkle
Keeps a bucket of tears (?)


How can he keep his hands
And body from trembling
When each time he held her
There's that fear of losing (?)

One can never discern
No matter how he try...
How deep true love can be
When it's time for "goodbye".


I guess I wouldn't know...
I guess I won't find out...
For I chose to fight off
This clearly losing bout.

"Mi Amor"

What's with her eyes...
       that seems to pierce my soul
       breaking through my defenses
       stripping me of my strength...


What's with her smile...
       that weakens my fortitude
       tearing my reasoning apart
       wearing off my logic and choice...


What's with her kisses...
        which seemingly alters my being
        bringing me in a state of unconsciousness
        of time, of reality, of emotions...


What's with her touch and caresses...
        that burns and scorches my inner sanctum
        creating a wildfire deep within
        a fire unquenchable, uncontrollable...


She inhibits me...
       She controls me...
              She overcomes what is in, out, and within me...


She is my time...
       She is my reason...
              She is my life.


How can I ever discern how she does it?


So long as I love her...
So long as I adore her...


I don't think I'll ever find the answer.


Never.

        

"Lost Love" (Sonnet II)

The sunshine greeted "bonjour"
as the morning smiled at me...
not a trace of loneliness
in the brand new day I see.
But when the crimson shadow
cast its "farewell" in the dusk...
you'll see a different ME,

behind my deceiving "mask".

Darkness slowly setting in

solitude painting the way...

life without you by my side

is endless darkness at play.

Your voice is my salvation,

your thoughts, my warmth and refuge;

the LOVE that I have for you

is my strength and fortitude.

What is left for me to do

to put back the day's laughter...

remind my heart, "with each DUSK

soon comes the DAWN thereafter."

Across the distance, I know

there'll be that one place an' time
in bliss we'll be together
like a love song's every rhyme.

Beyond the realm of despair
of dreams and of space and time,
I'll be there and I will wait
FOREVER with love sublime!

"The Things I Hate" (Yomie's Chronicle part 1)

I HATE the way rains and roses still remind me of YOU, and the way Belgian chocolates will never taste as sweet...

I HATE the way my smile has changed: plastered, hesitant, forced...

I HATE that I find myself wanting to call you at 1 AM...

I HATE the way I'm supposed to pick up the pieces and move on...that I'm supposed to believe that everything's gonna be alright...

I HATE that I have to drink to forget...and the hangover that follows and remembering all over again...

But the thing I HATE the most is that no matter how I try, I can't bring myself to hate YOU the way I hate everything else!

  

"Poems, pictures, mem'ries..." (Sonnet I)

Laid 'neath that old box
Was what once thy song --
      A sweet, sweet melody gone wrong,
      A lyrical touch
      That Eros hath played...
Now a coffin where thine heart laid.

Scented sobriquets,
loving thoughts penned thee --
      With tears, a dream, once us I see,
      Eyes that defy time
      Smiles that're immortal...
Yours is a mem'ry so gentle.

'Neath dust and cobwebs
Lay black an' whites, too --
      To remind of then "US" so true,
      Ol' Ms. Dest'ny danced
      Oh, her feet faltered...
Now Love's thine rose autumn withered.

A pinch in the heart
That's all mem'ries bring --
       A song that won't cease echoing,
       S'long as time walks
       An' one's heart ne'er sleeps...
The Pain heals but the mem'ries LIVES!

"Foolish Heart"

Snow came trickling in the mid-summer sky...
Time stood still, Silence is deafening
As you said the word, "Goodbye".

Just when my world, that the rainbow has clothed...
Have found its life, and put a smile to existence
You ended with the letter you wrote.

Why does it have to end, why must it start anew...
Why must there dusk, then in the morning a dawn
For me to know that it's just isn't you?

The pain that my life has endured the day that you left...
Now stand as a thorn, that grows with the vine
The vine of mem'ries that in my lonely heart crept.

Now I have nothing but pictures and love letters...
To be reminded of once you and me
For in my heart I know, LOVE is all that matters!

Or is it? Perhaps...perhaps not.

 “Love, unrequited, robs me of my rest: Love, hopeless love, my ardent soul encumbers: Love, nightmare-like, lies heavy on my chest, And weaves itself into my midnight slumbers!” — William S. Gilbert

"Can I...?"

Can I tell my heart to miss a beat

Or make my world to cease from turning...

Can I tell the heavens to vow down

Or tell the day to stop from dawning?

Can I tell FATE to speak out your name

And the wind to tell you, "I love you!"...

Can I tell your heart to beat for me

And to feel the same way that I do?

Can I tell myself to stop dreamin'

And face reality as it is...

Can I just turn my back from hoping

And put my weary heart at ease?

POEMS were weaved not from a poet's mind

Neither do SONGS from them lyricists...

It all sprung from what exist within

Such inspiration one's heart consists.

Can I really speak of what I feel

Or even explain it why I do...

'Guess I leave it all to you , my friend

'Cause I think I've fallen hard for YOU!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 "I really don't know now how to give up and say, "No, you're not meant for me"...I don't know now how to back down and accept I'm just another hopeful...I don't know now how to feel for anyone knowing that my heart is chained to but one soul but you...I don't know now how to say "I LOVE YOU" if it won't be that person who taught me the true, selfless meaning of those words ~ YOU!"  ~ @manong_meloy

 

"The GOOD-MORROW"

by JOHN DONNE

I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I
Did, till we lov'd? were we not wean'd till then?
But suck'd on countrey pleasures, childishly?
Or snorted we in the seaven sleepers den?
T'was so; But this, all pleasures fancies bee.
If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desir'd, and got, t'was but a dreame of thee.

And now good morrow to our waking soules,
Which watch not one another out of feare;
For love, all love of other sights controules,
And makes one little roome, an every where.
Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,
Let Maps to other, worlds on worlds have showne,
Let us possesse one world, each hath one, and is one.

My face in thine eye, thine in mine appeares,
And true plaine hearts doe in the faces rest,
Where can we finde two better hemispheares
Without sharpe North, without declining West?
What ever dyes, was not mixt equally;
If our two loves be one, or, thou and I
Love so alike, that none doe slacken, none can die.

~~For the movie Tristan & Isolde

"Wounded LOVE"

Tonight I shed a tear.
      Because i no longer feel you near...
                though you said you'll stay.
      Because I no longer feel you see me...
               though I'm where you want me to be.
Maybe I'm just numb...
      With the pain...
      With the fact...
      With the feeling.
               The pain that you can never be mine.
               The fact that past can never be re-lived.
               The feeling that was but can never be.

I always believed in LOVE.
I always had faith in its power.
     But I feel drained right now.
            Drained of all its strength...
                  emptied of all its hope...
                          stripped of its life.

Maybe because I gave it my all...
            poured out my heart...
            used up my time.

Maybe.

But I always believed in LOVE...
      I always believed in second chances...
      I always believed in happy endings...
                                 in YOU...
                                      in ME...
                                           in US.

Life does not end with a tear.
For always there's another moment.
      always there's another hour.
      always there's another day.

Tonight I shed a tear.
But pain daunts me not.
So long as time is my friend...
      So long as my heart beats your name...
           I will remain.

I will remain, my love.

"Do You Believe In Love (?)"

I composed this song three years ago and it means a lot to me. I know it's a li'l far-fetched but isn't that what LOVE usually do to all of us?? We can imagine the unimaginable, we can do the impossible and we can live a life of fiction in the real world. *Sigh* Well that's LOVE...all you really need to do is BELIEVE...and the rest, leave it all to Ms. Destiny. :) I hope you'll like it...

Do you believe in love...
Do you believe that love can last forever (?)
Do you believe in dreams...
That dreams can go beyond your deep slumber (?)


That a balloon can go through fire
That I can touch the sky 
With your hand in my hand.


Do you believe in time...
That time alone can speak about You and Me.
Do you believe in miracles...
That miracles are real to those who believe in love.


And that no one can really tell
Why you and I shouldn't fell
When we both believe we can come true.


LOVE can take us there
LOVE can take us anywhere if we believe
We believe...
LOVE can break the spell that man has cast
Not even time can tell if we should keep the feeling
As long as you believe in us
(And) We believe in LOVE.


Do you believe in love...
Do you believe that love can last forever (?)

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way that this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep."  - Pablo Neruda

"A Case of Serendipity..."

“I am still here...I didn't go away. You lost me before but fate brought me back to you. I'm here now. I'm here to stay.”

Every one of us is a sucker for romance. I don’t think anyone would deny the fact that at least once in your life, you wished you’d find that somebody that’ll completely sweep you off your feet, make your eyes glitter with anticipation whenever you’ll be out with him/her and that awesome electric jolt he/she throws at you each time you catch him/her starin’ at you and giving you that heart-melting smile! And after that, we’re looking forward to that ‘happily ever after’ ending…Sweet, isn’t it??

I have this friend who did fall head-over-feet in-love once…man, he was truly, madly, deeply in love with this lady! Well, who wouldn’t…she indeed is, til now, a real stunner!!! He never imagined him and her hooking up but they did end up together. To cut the cheesy story short, it was the sweetest, craziest, most colorful chapter of his life. At first, all is well. But as months passed, seeing her became just an event. For some unexplained reason, he saw her less and less until he never did see her again. For what he has heard, she already had this job and was very busy….other than that, it was a complete blackout!

It was really heartbreaking for him. Still, months passed and he decided to migrate to another province to put everything behind him and since then, they never heard from each other anymore. Her memory never left him, though. He tried tracing where she could’ve stayed or been and tried calling common friends but in vain. Nada, zero, nil, ziltch. He really thought all was lost. That’s not until after more than a decade of trying that they found themselves back. Yes. Fate decided to bring them back…together again.

“In a relationship, it’s very easy to catch every reason that could make you want to leave. But you know you’re really in love when you still hold on, just because you always cling to the tiniest reason that makes you stay.”

 

This time, the web has become their bridge. Yes, they are miles apart when they found each other but they realized nothing changed…everything is as they left them 11 years ago, most especially what they had back then. Time never did shake his love for her and neither did the distance. Of course, both has gone through separate lives but reminiscing how they used to be sort of rekindled what he thought he has lost forever. Now he got her back and he back with her, they vowed never ever to lose each other again. Cheesy?? What do you expect, they’re IN LOVE!

 

“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.” — Bruce Lee

If you’ll be asking me, “did they live happily ever after?” I can’t answer it yet…but somehow, I have the sweetest hunch that they will. Of course, I may also be wrong...let’s just keep our fingers crossed!

Should I stay - Gabrielle (with lyrics)

"Of Determination and Desperation"

At some point in a relationship in your life, we will come to realize that you have done too much and gave up a lot for someone or something, that the only next possible step for it not to do more irreparable damage and cause unbearable pain, is to just STOP and leave them alone.

It’s just too difficult to know when the road to determination ends and the path to desperation begins especially when you are very much consumed by emotions. It’s so painstaking to make your heart understand that what is truly yours would eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be. And so you justify, you reason out, and you cover up all the faults, all the lies just so you may be able to continue dreaming for that bliss you’ve set your sight on for that relationship. But until when can you do that? Until when can your heart hold on to what is clearly not meant to be? Until when can you lie to yourself and to your partner?

“In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire” ~ Paulo Coelho

It’s a different kind of high when you’re in a relationship that shares a common warmth, common craziness, and common depth. Of course, there ain’t a perfect one. But there shouldn’t be stress in keeping it, with both your eyes and hearts open for each other’s imperfections. Meaning, it should not be a one-way alley…it’s a two-way, give and take process. From start to end.


"No one falls in love by choice, it is by chance. No one stays in love by chance, it is by work. And no one falls out of love by chance, it is by choice.” — Matthew 10:32

It’s hard to tell your hearts to slow down and think when you are in love. It’s like a runaway train that spells “disaster” if you try to stop it. And more often than not, logic makes no sense if you are obsessed and fixated with LOVE! But you can see things through…if you’ll begin to respect and love yourself as much as you do your object of affection. By then you can make your choice. Decide not because you love the person, nor because he loves you…decide because there should be LOVE in between—same warmth, same craziness, same depth. By then you will know, which road you’re standing on and what to take next.

Of the rain, of memories, and YOU

"It’s been awhile since I walked and bathed in the rain. I miss the innocence it brings…the smell of damp earth in the air and the sensuous feel of raindrops on my skin…it made me feel like a child again. The rain is my gateway to funfilled child memories. And now the rain branded you…and the kiss we shared along the avenue. I’m looking forward to more rainy days with you." 


Yes. The rain branded you. The once simple, meaningless drizzle now whispers your name and the raindrops embraces me like you did as it wets me and consumes my warmth. 


Indeed, it's not the years that proves how deep the relationship is. It's about the smile that radiates in each lover's face each time they're together that seem to brighten up their day. It's about the essence of every moment that the couple is sharing--whether it may be shared on a romantic evening or scorching mid-day sun, may it be shared simply or lavishly, in a plush restaurant or a simple park bench, in private or in a gathering--any way, anytime, anywhere doesn't really matter except the fact that they're together. It's about the depth of that LOVE they are sharing that knows no boundaries, no limitations, no questions, and no if's and but's. It's what they have that makes this happen and it's all they really need.


You're no longer  here now. No longer here to share with me those walks, those romantic interludes, the rain. But the rain now signifies all that you were, all that we shared, all that we had. It may not have counted years but so long as there are raindrops, the memories will not end...the Love will not fade...you will not be forgotten.


Can I still wish for more rainy days with you? Maybe. With or without you, every raindrop will bring everything back...it will bring YOU back...and will hide what wasn't there before--these tears.

"Maybe I can't stop the downpour, but I will always join you for a walk in the rain." ~ Unknown
