Poems by

Juliet M. Dimatulac

It’s Nice To Be In Love

It’s nice to be in love

To the person that make you smile

All of a sudden that you didn’t notice

When you experience a difficult day.

It’s nice to be in love

To the person that makes your heart beats fast

Like a horse that racing inside your chest

When you see him unexpectedly in your way.

It’s nice to be in love

To the person that loves you back

Even though you didn’t ask

Because it is not necessary.

It’s nice to be in love

To the person that makes you happy

Every single day

Even if you don’t have enough time.

Its nice to be in love

To the person that accept who you are

Even though you have many flaws in life

That sometimes you don’t know how to mend.

It’s nice to be in love

To the person that can see your value

As an individual or lover

And contented to you.

It’s nice to be in love

To the person that thinking what you feel

When making a decision that involves the two of you

Also, he avoids having conflict.

It’s nice to be in love

To the person that really love you 

Not only your body

But also your heart and soul.

Warmth Of Your Love

Warmth of your love

Teach me how to love

When I didn’t know I was capable

When I saw you in my own world.

Warmth of your love

Teach me to have patience

In everything that I achieve

When I have full of doubts in myself.

Warmth of your love

Teach me to have courage

To be strong enough to face

A world that is full of dangerous human beings.

Warmth of your love

Teach me to forget

All the painful memories that I have

When my past is continuously haunting me.

Warmth of your love

Give me time

To think all the opportunities

That the world offers.

Warmth of your love

Give me hope

To every circumstances

That's happening to me.

Warmth of your love 

Teach me to know

What I deserve

Aa your lover.

Warmth of your love

Teach me to be selfless

And make sacrifices

Not only for you but also for everyone.

Warmth of your love

Teach me to be humble

Even though you always tease me

When you have a chance.

Warmth of your love

Teach me to be confident

Because you always say to me

How beautiful I am.

Warmth of your love 

Teach me to love you unconditionally

No matter what happens

When we are facing trials in our relationship.

Your Love

Your love

Serves as light

When I was in the darkness

That I don’t know how to escape.

Your love 

Serves as my way

To walk in an environment 

That no one to lean on.

Your love

Serves as a key

To found myself

With million unsaid thoughts in my mind.

Your love

Serves as an ingredient

To the trust that I gave you

When I allowed you to enter my world.

Your love

Serves as magic potion

So that I can be calm

In every situations.

Your love

Serves as a rainbow

That full of colors

And adventures when I’m with you.

Your love

Serves as a car

That brings me to the right destination

When I felt lost.

Your love

Serves as my home 

When I feel tired

In the messy surrounding.

Your love

Serves as a music

That I never get bored

To listen everyday.

Your love

Serves as an energy drink

So that I can have full of energy

When I was working or studying.

Your love

Serves as a mirror

That I can see

Our future together.

Your love

Serves as everything to me

That will remain in my heart 

Forever and ever.

Love Is Magical

Love is magical

In every aspect

Because we don’t know

Who will be our partners for a lifetime.

Love is magical

Because we can’t predict

Who will be the one

That our hearts will choose.

Love is magical

Because it moves in mysterious way

It can move up and down

It can move right or left.

Love is magical

Because it has right timing

Because it has the wrong timing

It will just appear suddenly.

Love is magical

Because it give strength

To everyone that fight for it

Even though it against the world.

Love is magical

Because it can be a bridge

Between two people

That both hate each other.

Love is magical

Because it don’t discriminate someone’s feeling

Anyone is capable to give and receive it

To him or her that needs it

Love is magical

Because everyone is equal

No one is exempted 

To feel it.

Love is magical

Considered as a wonderful blessing

From the Creator of everything

That we see, smell, touch, taste, and hear.

Poem by Khazel Jacob

Ideally

Once I was in depths of slumber and fear

Suddenly your light dazzles from within

Your radiant smile amuses me

How your dark brown eyes gazes at me

The sweet scent from your well-tailored gray suit

Matches your crew-cut dark hair

Little did I know you were already here by my side

And your fingers are intertwined in mine

My archaic soul was astound

How you embraced the emptiness that I am made of

How marvel that our stars aligned

How you pushes me in the edge that I thought I couldn't fly

Not a long stemmed rose

But you showed me that I can be an exquisite lily

Not a tanishq gold

But you cherish me like a trapiche emerald

You chose me although they are more sophisticated

You chose me although they are more stunning

You chose me when I'm about to lose my mind, comparing myself to them

You chose me despite of my weakness and flaws

A poignant memory that I can still see vividly

Wrinkles from our eyes whenever we smile

Our hearts beat as one, You and I

A promise we'll hold on to lifetime

For what this means my heart belongs

Yet can't be seen and remain unknown

Perhaps not today or next few moments

But soon will arrive and fall into places

Even without a glimpse of tomorrow

I know the time will surely come

Doubt and fear will now be gone

And meet the heart that matches my soul and rhyme

Short Story by

Daniela Lorraine B. Brutas

Sunset Haze

The sun left all too soon.  Another day had come to its end. Awaits another dreadful day tomorrow. They say happiness finds you. I think darkness does too. It cripples you from the back, taking away what you never thought you needed as much as air. 

The park seems to be empty and is exactly what I just need with all this stuff running in my head. I know I need to let all of this out for once because it's already bothering me every night. That is also the reason I am here late at night.

The girl thought to herself while listening to music and finding a perfect spot to sit and reflect to herself. She sat on a bench near a lamp post but it seems like she isn't alone in the park after all. A few benches away, there sat a guy quietly reading a book. She started walking to him and as she walked closer, his tall and muscular features became more noticeable. She didn't really mind some company as she sat next to the man.

Can I sit here? Lori asked shyly. No. Sit elsewhere. The man answered in a stern voice, not even looking her up. I’m new here. She started as she sat down. I think there’s plenty of other seats. He said, moving away to his right. What are you reading? Lori asked, looking over his shoulder. How to behead nosy people. The man hissed.

Turning to see who was talking to him, the man meet a pair of the prettiest coffee brown eyes that he had ever seen. The eyes were as brown like an Espresso Coffee. Those same pair
