All Things Beautiful...

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting-a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

I couldn't find the words...

I wanted to say I'm sorry
To tell you I was wrong
But you didn't catch my drift
I couldn't find the words

I wanted to write a sunset
Forever trap the sky
But my pen isn't magic
I couldn't find the words

I wanted to sing some moonlight
Turn silver into song
But I let my moment go
I couldn't find the words

I needed to say I love you
You're a treasure in my eyes
Instead I tried to show it
I couldn't find the words...

Now you're gone, it's over
The moments have all past
I should've tried much harder
but I couldn't find the words

Madness

This is a poem I found scribbled on a desk in my highschool English classroom...:P I thought it was good so I copied it down:

The bright horizon turns dark,
My life squandered by those who wish me ill
The cries from my heart laughed into oblivion
He/she took my heart then struck me down
through all, the longing of my soul still sings
thoughts, feelings, running through my fevered brain
the insanity welling up inside a maddening to swallow
the deep menacing depths of maddness
It stares at me, the stare of death and pain
I am standing on the edge of a cliff
the darkness billows below me
I reach out for him/her, I reach out for love
He/she laughs, malicious, evil, and pushes me off the edge
I am falling, my screams lost amidst the
broiling maddness that consumes my soul
I look up and see his/her face a thing of love and evil
Smiling as I fall and fall...

I asked God...

I asked God for strength,
that I might achieve,

I was made weak,
that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked God for health,
that I might do greater things,

I was given infirmity,
that I might do better things.

I asked for riches,
that I might be happy,

I was given poverty,
that I might be wise.

I asked for power,
that I might have the praise of men,

I was given weakness,
that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things,
that I might enjoy life,

I was given life,
that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I asked for-
but everything I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself,
my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among all men,
most richly blessed

brigadoon...isn't it absolutely gorgeous!?!! I love roses!!! They make me smile alot~ Posted by Hello

A rose is a rose...

Rose is a rose
is a rose is a rose
-Gertrude Stein-

I cast my heart into my rhymes,
That you, in the dim coming times,
May know how my heart went with them
After the red-rose-bordered hem.
-William Butler Yeats-
The rose speaks of love silently,
in a language known only to the heart.
-Unknown-
The fragrance always stays in the
hand that gives the rose...
-Hada Bejar-
True friendship is like a rose;
we don't realize its beauty until it fades...
-Evelyn Loeh-
What's in a name?
That which we call a rose
By any other name
would smell as sweet.
-William Shakespeare-
The world is a rose; smell it
and pass it to your friends
-proverb-

Philip...my amazing boyfriend. Don't ask me what the look's for...lol Posted by Hello

Lucky me~

Are there other
couples like us?
In some city a
thousand miles away,
Are there two best friends
who happen to be in love?
My mind wonders to that question
now...and then...
But never far enough
to ever believe
That someone like you
could be found
anywhere else in the world...
Because I know
there's only one person
who's so much fun,
so easy to love,
and so completely amazing...
...and I'm the one lucky enough
To Have You!!!!
-Keely Chace-

I actually stole this from a card Kate got for Doug...it was just exactly the way I felt. You see, I happened to get really lucky and got myself an amazing guy. Someone who is so much fun, so easy to love, So completely and wonderfuly amazing...He's been more than a boyfriend to me, but my best friend, comfort,...he's been so patient with me and understanding. Even when I am being competely unreasonable. I am so blessed to have someone like Phil. And I thank God constantly for blessing so abundantly when I've been so undeserving. God is love...great big love. I love you Philip~ thanks for making me the luckiest girl!!!!

Kind words...

Kind words are jewels
that live in the heart and soul
and remain as blessed memories
years after they have been spoken.

I Have Seen a Valley~

I have seen a valley,
with a blue mist blowing.
The shadows hanging over it,
like wide winged birds.
And splashing through it blindingly,
the sun's gold showing:
A living thing of light and shade
too exquisite for words.

I have hung it in my heart,
too keep it there forever.
And when the day is long and dry,
and furious with heat,
I walk along a corridor,
and turn to it and ever
Find a valley with a mist,
blowing cool and sweet.

It drenches me like silver rain,
and I am ever knowing...
A secret place of lovliness,
of light, and shade, and shine.
I have seen a valley,
with a blue mist blowing.
And it has come to be
a thing imperishably mine...
-Grace Nollcrowell-

This poem reminds me of Ukarumpa...Aiyura Valley~ I know when I feel really lonely, and am missing home alot, I close my eyes and try to remember Ukarumpa and all my friends and family there. Sometimes it makes me cry, but alot of times it makes me smile and remember sweet moments.

WISHING STAR

A single streak of golden thread
Slicing through the midnight sky
Telling stories never read
Of people's hope twas left to fly

A single chain of sparkling gems
Where people wish of thoughts untold
From deep within the heart it stems
And our hopes for stars to hold

The glory of a falling star
That leaves a trail of silver dust
Whispers thoughts of those afar
So our hopes will never rust

And even in the days to come
The diamonds in the sky above
Will still give precious hope to some
Who wish and pray upon the star.

-HaeBin and YuBin-


Yubin and I wrote this one crazy night. ^^ One of those late nights when she had English homework, one of those supercalifragilistic nights where you feel great and can't stop laughing...one of those rare nights when we actually really got along and I helped her with her homework. It turned out something beautiful....
"every hour spent together lives within my heart..." -Sarah McLachlan, "When she loved me"-

If I Could...

If I could paint your love with the colours of this world,
I would take the sky,
paint everlasting love.
If I could sing your love with the music of this world,
I would take the sea,
sing overflowing love.

Chorus:
Steady Crazy,
can't make my mind up Out of control,
that's the beating of my heart
You make me feel like I'm flying way up high
Can this be true...I am falling into you

If I could write your love with the poetry of the world,
I would take the wind,
write softly spoken love.
If I could read your love in the pages of this world,
I would take the trees, write thoughtful, written love.

And when the world seems awfully cold,
and I'm feeling all alone
And when I'm hurting from the pain the pain of knowing that you're gone
The thought of you keeps me hanging on
And when I cry out in my sleep stuck in endless teary nights
And when I don't know where to turn to get away from all my pain
It's you who comes and rescues me...
Now I'm...(back to chorus and finish)

Wrote this song a while ago...Haha I know go ahead and laugh. :P However, I'm not much of a musician, as my siblings are. So this is just basically a poem.

Intro~

Haha, well...
I was sitting here..still sitting here...contemplating if I should start studying for my exam anytime soon as I was changing some stuff on my blog. It wouldn't work, and was frustrating cos I don't want to study, but I'm bored outa my mind. SO I figure since I collect alot of poems, quotes, etc...I should make another blog for that! So here I am at 1 in the friggin morning...can't even type straight...creating a new blog~ hahaha...bare with me. I promise you some of these are really good.
