Little Bo Beep and Little Boy Blue

There was this innocent child counting all her keeps

Her first love taught her how to weep....

A fools devotion came to its end

Her altruistic fancy was broken and bent



While there on the meadows was a sleeping bloke

He should have listened as his lover spoke

But he chose to close his eyes and brush her away to sleep underneath a tree

To dream of a princess far from reality



Little Bo Beep so busy chasing a constellation on your bleeding knees,

Won’t you look down as you weep near a blooming cherry tree

A little boy needs to wake, He kept his eyes close to see your face,

While you longed for the warmth of an admirer’s sweet embrace



Two yearning hearts so near and yet so far

Both jaded and deeply scarred

The sweet lass wails endlessly for her bleeding heart

The world continued revolving as he suffered delusions in dark







Their mindfulness was filled with empty wishes

The world made them lost their senses

Little Bo Beep there on your feet was Little Boy Blue

As you break your neck and wait on shooting stars, he’s losing his head as he desperately dreams of you.



The wondering of how the story ends

That all wounds easily heal and mends

So let’s all toast on cherries and wine

As love departs these two despaired nursery rhyme

THE PUDDLE OF DREAMS

By: Bertha

In the midst of chaos

Where my heart is parched

The thirst for hope

Threatens the beat of my heart

Thus the illusion breaks into songs

Where the flower blooms surrounded by thorns

I hunger for warmth

I hunger for humanity

I hunger for affection

I hunger for sanity

Where thou art has compassion gone

I have lost the essence of my being a woman

Forced into an identity that loses my entire innocence

Thus my fingers simply caress pure adolescence

In love I live

In faith I breathe

I gently fool myself

As I forced myself to see

The reflection of what I wished to be

In a dirty puddle which men condemn

Thus lay the beauty of my dreams

COUNTING TEARDROPS

COUNTING TEARDROPS

BY: BERTHA

Tell me how a stranger love sincerely

Somehow between the oceans you knew me

I’m bleeding in your arms when you claimed my heart

 

 

 

Those silly love stories fooled me

Did you even really see me?

When you’ve been blind from the start

 

 

 

And I tried to run away while you asked me to stay

So I can mend your broken heart

I fought the numbness to get to your soul

Now I’m the one suffering with your scars

 

 

 

Chorus

Don’t ask, don’t feel but watch me cry

Even if you don’t deserve to see my tears

Now I’m holding tightly to emptiness

Counting teardrops of my heart

 

 

 

Don’t ask, don’t feel but watch me breakdown

Even if you don’t deserve to see me weak

Keep the picture of pain in your memory

As you count the teardrops of my heart

 

So many times I imagine you as you sleep

I’d push myself in your dreams

I held you close as the wind gets steep

 

 

 

My senses fooled me

You never really wanted me?

Somehow I knew I needed to be free

 

 

 

 

And I tried to run away while you asked me to stay

So I can mend your broken heart

I fought the numbness to get to your soul

Now I’m the one suffering with your scars

 

 

 

 

Chorus

Don’t ask, don’t feel but watch me cry

Even if you don’t deserve to see my tears

Now I’m holding tightly to emptiness

Counting teardrops of my heart

 

 

 

Don’t ask, don’t feel but watch me breakdown

Even if you don’t deserve to see me weak

Keep the picture of pain in your memory

As you count the teardrops of my heart

 

 

 

Just keep on counting teardrops of my heart

 

SKY PARAGLIDER

 

 

 

Sky Paraglider

 

By: Bertha

 

I’ve decided not to fight the storm and stood in the middle of the havoc

Maybe I could learn to read the stars then I would be prepared for the chaos in my heart

On my knees I whispered to the earth that cradled my tears

May a flower bloom in the midst of scorn

Like a child a broken heart was new to me

A perfect stranger was a fallacy

A realist caught in a confusing fantasy

Broken families, intense miseries

The sky was my only blanket from loneliness

The vast universe was a bed that could grant me deep slumber

A bird with no wings, a fish out of the ocean

A yearning so strong, the towering trees seems inviting

I clasped the straps that gave me wings

I longed for the clouds embrace

 For a moment I would feel how to own the sky

And the fear won’t drown my determination to try

Slowly I ran, one step at a time

Not rushing for death

For only time can reveal a pure heart

Patience can overcome distance and insanity

Trials and separation gives birth to loyalty

So here I come after a calculated risk

A Sky Paraglider claiming love

       A Sky Paraglider jumping off a cliff

PRISM

 

 

 

PRISM

By:Bertha

 

 

There under the broken ceiling of a cold castle

Stood the clouds that hides the warm beam of the sun

As droplets of water falls on my forehead

And trickles down on my neck and chills the boredom of my youth

I inhale the misty air of looming memories of days old

Dancing with the wind on my shoulders

Finger entwined on the deep curls of my hair

I grasp what seems to be an invincible wall

Caressing it gently with my soft warm hands

As it slowly crumbles and kiss the ground

I have freed myself from the burdens of fear

Gently with hopeful eyes I watched the sun

peek through the open sky where clouds seems

to wave goodbye

Though the heavens did not cease to shed it

tears there was beauty in the midst of the

tiny droplets of diamonds that bathe me in

pure ecstasy

It created a world of rainbows where once was

dull and full of apathy

Although the storm has not passed, and the

tremors is imminent

I gaze on colourful sunshine that kisses the

rain….

THE UNWANTED CHILD

CHAPTER THREE

A MAN’S STRUGGLE

               A woman lie in her bed as she violently tossed and turned, breathing rapidly, she suddenly opened her eyes and abruptly sat on her bed as she try to toss away the nightmare that has hunted her,  she sobbed as her two sleek female hands covered her teary eyed face.

               Then suddenly John felt a pang of pain at the back of his neck that instantly woke him up from that disturbing dream with his face half buried on top of his desk. He was reading a bunch of documents which have piled incredibly at his desk when he unknowingly dozed off, it was half past ten when John Salcedo realized he had a party to go to. But somehow at the back of his mind he has been really bothered by that re-occurring dream.

               Though John was brought up in a very well and sound surrounding and raised by devoted Catholic parents he felt numb inside, there was always this sense of loneliness and emptiness in his heart, he could not express his emotions. So most of the time he simply follow what his brain tells him to do rather than his heart, for he himself does not trust his own heart.

               But for the first time in 38 years John heard a tiny voice inside of him that seems to come from the beating of his heart, as he stood in front of this woman whose eyes sets of a feeling of exhaustion. There was this tiny spark that somehow sent shiver to his spine.

Dana spoke politely trying to hide her disappointment “ I’m sorry but my calling card has not been made yet, and my number is international roaming so it would be impractical to give it .”

John replied “well it seems I have misplaced mine, but anyway since Jeana is your cousin we’ll probably bumped into each other again, oh it's getting really late will you be alright? I mean will Jeana’s driver will bring you home tonight?”

“I appreciate your concern, I was hoping she would remember her promise but knowing Jeana, but no worries I have a company driver waiting outside for me, since I just flew in this morning it will be at my disposal for a while till I get a hang of the new environment.” Dana said with a light laugh.

Then suddenly John felt a shock of vibration in his pocket, realizing it was his mobile phone he reached out for it and excused himself to answer it. The glow on John’s face left as soon as it appeared....

“Hello?” “Dad what seems to be the matter, you sound very weak?”

“What? Mom collapsed?” John said with a very pale expression.

“Okay I’m on my way” John hurriedly walked out to the door without even saying a polite nod and farewell to Dana.

               John with cold hands pushed opened the door to the emergency room, he felt light headed due to unpleasant emotions mixed with physical exhaustion, he saw his father sitting with his hands on his face on a chair near the door.

“Dad!” John said as he rushed to his father’s side.

John with a shivering voice asked “Dad are you okay? What happened to mom?”

His father answered wearily “She was clutching her chest while she was praying, then suddenly she fell of her chair, good thing I was there beside her, she asked me for the first time not to go to my friends it’s a good thing I was the....” his voice trailed off. 

“Dad don’t worry, mom will pull through she’ll be okay, she’s a very strong woman she will be okay” John said in assurance.

“Oh I know, she promised me she will be my partner till the end, she will not leave me.” Lando Salcedo said with tears threatening to fall from his eyes.
