Your Kiss

susanna325 — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:27:25 CST

Dedicated to the love of my life, Glenn

Your kiss…
Brings me closer to you
The warmth of your lips
Encircles me like a blanket on my soul
Your kiss…
Like a magnet, it pulls me
Without resistance I give in
To feel the oneness that love delivers
Your kiss…
Saturates my longing
To be loved and accepted
An inspiration that brings life to dear heart
Your kiss…
Dissolves the pain of yesterday
The ray of hope you bring I
lluminates the dark and the unforeseen
Your kiss…
I will always long for
Though time will slowly cease
The memories will linger forever from your kiss

The Boat

susanna325 — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:26:21 CST

Quietly, I ventured out to the sea
Forever searching for what’s not for me
The wind pushed through as I gripped my oars
While waves of life’s treasure invited the shore
Where is this lovely blessing called “friend”?
All I saw were flying seagulls that ascend
Clouds playing hide and seek with the sun
And sounds of the ocean that conquered the man
I stared at a distance to watch whales go by
Its graceful movements had caught my eye
Slowly but surely they drifted away
As my dwindling hopes rolled over the bay
There I stood, my red boat and me
Rocking along as the waves set us free
My faithful friend that I call my boat
Through venturing times had kept me afloat
As crimson hues invaded the skies
We touched the warm sand that greeted our ties
I leaned on my friend as dusk silently cast
The peace that had embraced me at last

Fireflies

susanna325 — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:13:28 CST

Fireflies
I stood there watching as dusk approaches
Waiting, longing for a glimmer of light
Hoping, wanting to see your beauty
A sole reminder that something awaits
As darkness flowed slowly
And beauty had left me
I breathe in the fresh humid air
Feeling, sensing, forever longing
For your light to show me you’re there
Then I saw you sparkle like a diamond
Closer, brighter , without any fear
You caught me in awe and delight
As you held my dreams ever so near
There I stood in silence
My heartbeat slowing
Not wanting to miss all the glee
Yearning, seeking, forever believing
That tomorrow you’ll be there for me

Finding Love Again

susanna325 — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:08:31 CST

Finding Love Again by: Susanna
Just when I thought that love had gone
You came into my life one day
As one last flimsy thread was drawn
This hope had come to find its way
What used to elude me more and more
Had but alas flew back to me
And touched the center of my core
Unleashed my fear and set it free
With disbelief my heart would ask
Will this become another snare?
Will pain itself remove its mask
To face true love without a care?
In solitude my heart awaits
While trust had found its way again
With joyous leaps this life creates
A new beginning… another chance

New Life

susanna325 — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 08:38:09 CDT

Letting Go

Why must it hurt so bad to bid farewell to you?

The memories we've had, my mind just can't let go

Although the fact is known, you've gone to heaven's gate

My heart still longs for you, although it is too late

How can I heal my wound when love had given up?

How could I numb the pain or tell my tears to stop?

Like trees , my leaves must fall before new buds come out

Once springtime has begun, new leaves will come to sprout

Like rivers that run dry from summer's heat and scorch

Someday the rain would come and fill me up once more

In search to find my joy I know I have to learn

The pain of love as well, till new life takes its turn

Holding on to Time

susanna325 — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 12:05:12 CDT

by: Sann

I seem to glance outside

From my windowsill

As people pass me by

And life turns like a mill

Hold on for a second!

No single life awaits

I'm drained and I'm exhausted

Can't keep up with the pace

Curse this weakness!

This long and bumpy road

Hold on time! Slow down!

My pleas are but ignored

I long to be a part

Of the usual crowd that moves

But time just keeps on going

The more I try to prove

I'm trying to catch up

If I can grab the time

Still the crowd seems getting smaller

As my world gets left behind.

My Grief

susanna325 — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 15:18:40 CDT

As I wake up from restless sleep
And tears had stung my weary face
His soothing voice no longer heard
Only my yearning could be traced
Inside my dream there’s wood afloat
The waves of tantrum by the sea
Had kept it drifting furthermore
The more I try to grab the piece
As darkness swallowed what was left
The frantic mood kept me adrift
Old guilt itself still lingers there
What could have done, I wish I knew
This astral state no more exists
Yet still I wish the feeling cease
And time will spin itself around
Bring back old memories, shades of bliss
From distant end I heard within
Another day will soon begin
As I accept this fate at last
The gate of grieving too shall pass

From Distant End

susanna325 — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 09:40:06 CDT

I felt your presence last night

Was it a dream? Was it my imagination?

Your arms had rocked me back to sleep

As peace lulled me away from deception

Thoughts of you had been flooding my senses

Craving some answers, few I have heard

Wishing, wanting, longing to hold on

As reality frees itself like a bird

You have moved on to a better place

There I imagine your love awaits

But what about the dreams we built?

Should I hold on to them as life prorates?

Slowly, gently I am ready to adhere

Towards nature’s wishes, an ongoing plight

As life continues on the other side

Let angels bridge our distance each night

Things I've Learned As A Mom

susanna325 — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 13:59:49 CDT

Things I’ve learned as a mom for the past 17 years…. By: Sann

- It takes several coating of paint to cover permanent marker drawings on the wall.
- A lima bean expands when stuck inside the nose…tweezers come in handy!
- Toddlers are capable of pooping in a tub full of water…swimming pools too.
- Scissors are magical and fascinating to kids, hide them!!!
- Barbie dolls hair don’t grow but at least your kid’s bangs will
- Your dog will only tolerate so much tugging and pulling
- A broken crayon fits perfectly in the ear canal
- The average waiting time in the ER is 6 hours unless your child has difficulty breathing
- Your loose change on the counter disappears as often as the ice cream man comes by
- When your toilet overflows, chances are your child flushed something ie. Toy, brief, lego, etc..
- Nail polish stains on clothing are permanent.
- Don’t buy your kids white clothing, it attracts stains like crazy!
- Kids won’t hesitate to tell you your breath stinks in public
- They will also say things like “did you know your butt jiggles like jello?”
- Bugs don’t make good pets even if your kids are convinced otherwise.
- Frogs dry up and die indoors, set them free when your kid is not looking!
- You never know what you will find under your kids’ bed or under the sofa
- The best way to remove bubble gum in your kids hair is to CUT IT!
- When you are running late, your kids will take their time
- Kids do remember every single promise you make
- When your teen starts to drive, you will find yourself stepping on an “imaginary break” at the driver side seat.
- “Going out” does not mean going somewhere…it means “going steady” from our generation’s term.
- Your grocery bill will skyrocket by the time your child reaches puberty
- When your kid is between the age of 12-18, you will become a “dumb and stupid” parent
- Having a perfect hair day and an up to date wardrobe is more crucial than world hunger when you’re a teen.
- When they are over the age of 18, you will become smart and cool again.
- When your child is in pain, you feel it twice as much
- When they say “I hate you!” saying back “I love you” catches them by surprise and makes them feel good even if they don’t show it .
- Kids surprisingly hear what you are saying even when their eyes roll back and they say “like whatever!”
- It is never too early to teach them the value of hard work and money.
- Saying “I’m sorry” and admitting to your child about your mistakes is not a weakness, it teaches them it’s ok to have imperfections.
- It’s ok to act silly and funny, it makes great memories.
- Believing in your child’s abilities help them believe in themselves.
- Showing them your love for God teaches them the importance of faith
- Last but not the least… no matter how difficult it is to raise your child, you cannot imagine life without them (-:

I wish I Knew

susanna325 — Wed, 30 May 2007 15:17:48 CDT

I did not see your grieving soul

Instead I saw your love so bold

No sound of cry for help you seek

I only heard sweet words you speak

My love was blinded can't you see?

There's more to it than you and me

When I had thought our hearts were one

I never knew the beat will drown

The tears you hid away from me

The pain you mask with falsity

I could have been there holding you

I wish I knew, I wish I knew.

A Mother's Advice

susanna325 — Wed, 16 May 2007 08:55:39 CDT

Dedicated to my 2 daughters, Christine and Leah.

Fall in-love dear child
Do so with open eyes
It is not what others think
It comes with colors in disguise
Where eyes will see the chosen view
Ears will hear selected sounds
Beating heart takes over fast
As love encircles you around
Basque in the vivid colors of life
Allow the cloudy vision to fade
Walk slow as you avoid the pits
So better decisions could be made
Love coats the mind with frenzy dew
While falsity lurks in hidden lair
Do not concede from trembling touch
Face the essence of despair
Take heed for this I say with love
Pain and desolation draws a peak
So weakness grabs you unannounced
Let voice of wisdom come to speak
Perhaps in time the sounds rebound
When life unfolds to wake the sense
Live and learn, my child I say
Embrace true love with no pretense

Ode to mom

susanna325 — Fri, 11 May 2007 07:08:25 CDT

I thank the Lord for my dear Mom
My comfort haven she had made
Where growing up brought memories
Of joy and laughter without charades
Her soft firm gaze she kept all times
As she ensured my safety plight
No harm had ever come to me
As she embraced me with delight
I do recall her hand on mine
She pointed out the wrong from right
With much precautions I’ve been taught
Her guiding voice became my light
My mom and me, throughout the years
Like old worn pages torn apart
Opposing visions crept like vine
As hurtful words had pierced our hearts
The sacrifice she did for me
Without a care I just ignored
Until the stabs of life came fast
And parenthood I soon explored
My sweet old mom, her hair now gray
Grew lines of wisdom on her face
I’m here now wishing time turns back
To glue the pages and leave no space
I thank the Lord for my dear Mom
Whose loving hands gave me her best
My mentor, protector and my friend
The priceless gift of life’s success.

My Missing Piece

susanna325 — Thu, 10 May 2007 14:19:42 CDT

by: Sann

I glanced once more where my bosom laid
Where hidden bliss was once a friend
And angels lips found nurture there
Old lovers craved the warm embrace
Now it’s gone forevermore
As flesh was taken from the core
A scar had marked a lonely path
A sole reminder of the past
It is relief or is it grief?
The longing for my youth I keep
The thief that robbed my womanhood
Had no idea where I stood
Here I sing my ballad songs
Tears and gladness both belong
In farewell chants where illness left
A growing promise will be kept

This Heart of Youth

susanna325 — Thu, 10 May 2007 14:11:59 CDT

by:Sann

This heart of youth

Like stubborn mule

Will listen to no one

As pride overrules

Walks treacherous roads

With unabashed leaps

Beyond certainty storms

Taking risks by the heaps

Though wisdom admonish

As the errs of life show

This heart will still rule

As pains come and go

Such defiance indeed

In assurance they swear

That the choices they heed

Is for love they declare

Ah, such vigilant life

Reminds me of my days

As I stumbled through strife

And continued my ways

Yes indeed my mistakes

Had reformed me today

As life’s slumber awakes

I am now who I am

The Symbol of Christmas

susanna325 — Thu, 10 May 2007 14:09:28 CDT

The Symbol of Christmas
by: Susanna Miller

What is the symbol of Christmas?
Is it the decorative lights at night
Or perhaps it’s a Christmas tree
That twinkles with colorful lights

Is it the gifts that pile up high
Full of toys or expensive things
Is it the sweet sounds of carols
Or the feast that is fit fora king

Let me tell you the symbol of Christmas
It could start from a shack way afar
Where a family of seven
Feast on sardines from one single jar

Though their hungeris barely forgotten
They feel blessed that they all have a bond
They aregrateful for what little they have
As they pray for God’s blessings beyond

In a darkplace an old lady huddles
Barely moving from thefierce winter frost
There’s a knock on her old beaten door
T’was a child from the house just across

In her tiny hands she brings her a plate
With some turkey and stuffing aside
And some old wornout blanket along
To warm her in this cold winter night

In a home with magnificent view
A paternal figure stares through the glass
As his prodigal son came to view
His cold heart starts to soften at last

As they both asked forgiveness both ways
For the pain they incurred through the years
They embraced and had tears in their eyes
As the mutual respect reappears

So you see, the true symbol could be
In disguised where no glimmer is seen
It’s the kindness that comes from the heart
It’s the love that draws people within

It’s appreciating whatever we have
It’s forgiveness and starting anew
It’s the caring and sharing we give
It’s a humble heart honest and true

The true meaning andsymbol of Christmas
Shows its presence all over the world
As we follow His footsteps along
His true spirit shines out through us all

One Gift

raydebs — Tue, 08 May 2007 17:07:31 CDT

by: Sann

My friends inquired how much shopping I've done

Tis the time of the season when all seems to run

Last minute shopping takes a whole day at least

As you go through your list and make sure none was missed.

With four kids at home, I 'd get four lengthy lists

Of things that they want and things they have seen

But you see ,what I taught them is more precious indeed

In that long list they wrote, one gift will be received.

In that one gift alone comes a whole lot of love

And lessons they learn that will stand all above

To appreciate thingsnot based solely on cost

But the thoughts and the love that came with it the most.

They learn that my love is not measured by gifts

It's the day to day gestures of kindness that lifts

They learn that material things could be replaced

But the love of a mother has a much higher place.

Under our Christmas tree they stare with delight

Four gifts wrapped neatly with colors so bright

They shake and they guess and they eagerly wait

For Christmas to come so they can all stay up late

It took only one gift to bring joy to their heart

As I watch them in awe, I know I did my part

To appreciate, be grateful, be true and be humble

No gift in the whole world could replace this at all.

How Long Is Enough?

raydebs — Tue, 08 May 2007 16:53:51 CDT

by: Sann

How long is enough, I asked myself

Is it measured by days and time?

Should it be when pain is no longer felt?

But the sting of eternal tears are mine?

Should it be when each fiber of love has died?

And each word is just left unsaid?

Or when life itself had exhaust me

And I wish that time itself is dead?

Should I wait with unfaltering hopes

For a miracle to change my path?

And revive the unity that once had life

But today is now scorned with wrath?

How long should I go before I turn?

Should it be when the road ahead is gone?

Oraccept that in life there's much to learn

Perhaps...enough had already come.

My ship

raydebs — Tue, 08 May 2007 16:48:11 CDT

I brace myself to the unknown
As I prepare to sail my ship
I close my eyes as fierce wind blows
And salty water touch my lips

I am prepared to meet the waves
Though strongly it will rock my stance
The roaring sound of thunder raves
Still I will sail and take a chance

The lightning bolts and pouring rain
May bring a shiver to my spine
But life itself is not in vain
So long as hope and faith is mine

There is no telling how long it will take
For life is a journey in itself
As challenges for me await
How things could end, no one can tell

As I set sail one thing remains
I’m not alone to travel there
My Savior stays through tears and pain
And guide me to the light of day

Silence

raydebs — Tue, 08 May 2007 16:47:02 CDT

Your silence is deafening
It reaches the depth of my soul
As my thoughts race much faster
Than what my heart is willing to hold

I hear the cries within
As it struggled to free itself
And my very own chains
Hold me down like a prisoner here

So I wait, wait for you words
Only to feel avoidance at all cost
And I find my own words drowning
For with words I am at a loss

Free me! My heart shouts to you!
Free me from the unbearable sound!
Your silence is sharper than knife
And my heart does not wish to be bound

As time goes ever slowly
I wait for your words to explode
Yet still…silence is my enemy
As I struggle to walk down this road

Perhaps it’s time to accept
That love dies from silence alone
No revival could bring it to life
May my soul free itself from its own
