Fritzie Abella

Love need not be grand.
No need for gold, nor magic wands,
nor flowery spiels, nor random vows.
...

You are my guiding light,
my angel in disguise,
You show me the way,
the beauty of life.
...

The boy is just a boy!
I need not weep and whine.
My waiting days are over.
I couldn't be happier!
...

Perhaps someday you will learn...

That to love is to love yourself first;
That smiles come after aches and tears;
...

Oh love, mysterious love!
You bridge the gap between doubt and trust
Funny how wise men turn into fools
With just a snap of love untold!
...

You're the ghost who consumes me
Robbing my sanity day by day
Feeding me with hallow ecstasy
While spewing a litany of sympathy.
...

Patiently you waited
Off you brace my withered heart
I was lost and haunted
Badly bruised and deserted
...

I despise the ill-mannered you!
Sensitivity has deemed eluded you
Haven't you heard of common courtesy?
Your earsplitting tone's robbing my sanity.
...

Time flies-
I have forgotten.
Chasing after void,
after ghosts,
...

How much is too much?
How little is not enough?
Every glass you see's half-empty
Boldly, you seek for transient glory.
...

Still she sits in bare calmness
Hatred drowns in hollowness
Spare the sword, the roaring spiel
She dares not touch the cunning flames.
...

Inside every closed door lies a mystery
That tickles a nosy man's curiosity.
Though it's guarded by daunting armors,
still, some are driven by greed, by questions.
...

Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself
Something that glitters within your reach
More precious than packages with bows
It frees you from bitterness and blues
...

There are words amid my silence.
If only you'd lingered and listened.
There are secrets behind my smiles.
If only you'd stared beyond my eyes.
...

I am a woman now of age.
The world's bigger outside my cage.
Now I am not a child who cries
over candies and apple pies.
...

Every love story beholds forever
Love's a riveting tale of timeless wonders
Some are meant for happy endings
While ours suffered in sudden farewell
...

How could you
promise me paradise
only to abandon me in mid-fight?
...

A dream is a wish your heart moans
It stirs your passion beyond sight and hold
A dream springs forth hope and delight
But only toil and sweat can lay it to light.
...

It feels good to be alone...

I can sleep all day long
without somebody snoring along;
...

Torn between holding on and letting go,
our hearts are twisted in confusions and sorrow.
Should I push you away, or lock you in tight embrace?
Please answer me. No more puzzles, nor games.
