Syl Espina Poems

Pardon my words when I speak the truth.
No matter how gentle I want to say it,
It's still painful but gives life to the word freedom.
...

Every sunrise, I set out to sail
With my head full of ideas,
And my heart full of hope.
...

Like a river flowing down the mountains,
I pass through shallow and deep gorges.

Like a flower that blooms every morning,
...

Someone is making his way;
Doing the best he can everyday;
To find his one great love someday.
...

When words are spoken,
Only the good ones are taken;
By the mind that is weak
And the heart that is fake.
...

If one day you get lost and confused, call me.
I promise to be there and guide you.

If one day you feel like crying, call me.
...

Life is what we make it.
That's what they say.
Live life to the fullest.
That's their aim.
...

What's the sense of learning if you don't live it out?
What's the sense of living if you don't enjoy it?
What's the sense of enjoyment if you don't feel it?
What's the sense of your feeling if you don't understand it?
...

Don't stand at my gate a minute long
If you only want to view my lawn.

Don't look through my windows
...

Life has been a series of winks
From God Who straightens out kinks,
At times when I run out of ink;
And paints my canvas with pink.
...
