wow!!(Free poem) very touching Ate Lai!! may i copy that and place it on my "about me" in my friendster account?? or on my profile in Yahoo?? it is so beautiful!! i love it!! not to worry, i'll put your name under the title and i would never "angkingin" that poem...sorry for my words, i dunno the english term for that word sorry people...

Thanks Eliza!! I'm so flattered... sure you can use it And I know you won't "angkin" that... btw, "angkin" is claim, so yeah...

Anyway, this new poem is in Tagalog (or Filipino), but the translation is below. I just thought about this today, and actually wrote it down while driving. Well, when I'm at stoplights, because I know I'm bound to forget it if I don't write it down. This is my first ever Filipino poem. It's very simple, but it sort of follows all the other poems I have. Soooooo......

*********

Ikaw Pa Rin

Mula nang ikaw ay lumisan
Ako'y labis na nasaktan.
Wala man lang idinahilan
Kung bakit puso ko'y sinugatan.

Pinilit kong magmahal ng iba
Ngunit di pa rin naging masaya.
Ang puso ko't kaluluwa
Hanap ay ikaw pa rin sinta.

Paano nahantong sa ganito?
Pagibig na akala ko'y totoo?
Ang isinisigaw ng puso ko
Walang iba kundi pangalan mo.

Kay bilis nagdaan ng panahon
Sana'y maibalik ang ating kahapon
Hiling ko lang sa Panginoon
Bigyan tayo ng isa pang pagkakataon.

***************
(rough translation)

It's Still You

Ever since you left me
I was hurt deeply.
Not even giving a reason
Why you wounded my heart.

I forced myself to love another
But still, I wasn't happy
My heart and my soul
Still longs for you my darling.

How did we end up like this?
Our love that I thought was true?
My heart is screaming for
No one else but you.

Time flew by so fast
I hope we can go back to yesterday
My only wish to the Lord God
Is to give us another chance.

***********

Sounds kinda wierd in English, but I swear, I think it sounds a little better in Filipino. Anyway, will write another one soon! When I get my head together..

aaaww!! i like it!! woohoo!! good thing you're not losing some inspirations/thoughts to write these wonderful, VERY touching poems!!keep it up Ate Lai!! and thanks for,

oh... MAH BAAAAD!!! I'm sorry..... I haven't read the rules about poems being HP related. That's the last non-HP poem, I'm very sorry!!!!!!!! Will be Harry Potter next time!!!

Awesome UPDATES!!! I swear I've been checking in whenever I can. I would've posted sooner but my cp is evil (My cp froze the last time i was viewing them)
I was going crazy! I'm like I know lIz's gone, but where's LAI???
Lol, I know you've been busy at work(Actually working eh? Silly me? I thought's that's what they do there) so that's why i didnt bother you like a REAL stalker would! Hehe...
Um..I think it's awesome how you can translate a poem out of a diff langauge into English. I wish I knew one...!
Lol, um...WHAT DO YOU MEAN POEMS HAVE TO BE HP RELATED? Almost all the poem threads i go to (Trust me they're alot) people's poems arent hp related.
Even though I'd love to hear another hp one (THE LAST ONE WAS AWESOME), I want poems for the brokenhearted... *Flees to bother a mod about this*
OKay, well whatever's fine. It's not over until i have my say in this. If you want to write hp ones, it's cool too! Whatever's fine with you!
Post another soon, PWEEZ!!
Tina

You so silly Tina!! Thaz why I wub you! *huggles* And yeah.. new rule says as of August 1st, all NEW poems and new poetry threads have to be HP related or they will be deleted. I think I'll still do heartbreak poems, but HP related, since there are so many HP ships out there that I can work with....

Sorry. I think that's a stupid rule. Ss threads should allow more than jsut hp. I mean Don't get me wrong, I LUFF HP. But, Aww heck... It's not just yours poems. I knwo you're flexible and more confident with your writing. There are some peeps that are new to this, and they're not so used to doing diff things. OKay i should stop babling... Lol, But the new relationships do sound very interesting! Can't wait!!!!
Tina!

yay I found time to write... i know i know, it's been a while... but with this new rule and all...

ok, so I don't know if everyone knows I'm a big H/G fan and was overly excited when they *finally* hooked up! So here's one dedicated to one of my fave ships. Oh, and for Tina, it's still sort of heartbreak related, it just has a happy ending hehe... Thanks to Potterpuffs for the idea! (you'll see...)

Finally

The first time I saw you
Was at the train station
My heart was flooded
With all kinds of emotion.

I found you attractive
Indeed very good-looking.
Later, I would learn
You'd be my life's meaning.

First, you saved my life
On our first year together.
But did you do it for our school?
Or even, for my brother?

You treated me like a sister
But I saw you as my hero.
I've loved you secretly
It hurt that you didn't know.

I turned to others and tried
To fill this empty space.
I wanted to feel loved
But what I wanted was your embrace.

I sat and I watched you goggle
Over a girl who didn't deserve you.
I sat and I watched you get hurt
So now, will you see me too?

Over the course of some tragic events
My feelings for you got stronger.
I thought I'd keep on hiding it
But I couldn't fight it any longer.

I wanted to grab you and kiss you
And just say what I want to say
That after all these years with you
My childhood crush never really went away.

But you grabbed me, and you kissed me
And my heart overflowed with joy.
Finally you realized I was here all along
Now I know I'm madly in love with this boy.

My waiting and patience has paid off
I love you and I know you love me.
Now that you're here by my side
I'm happy as I'll ever be...

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
tHAT'S IS SO CUTE! You're awesome!

It's my Ate!!!!! Hi Ate Pie!!! Oh, and "Ate" (Ah-teh) means, like a big sister in Filipino Thanks for reading my poems!!

And now, for my R/Hr shippers out there, here's one for ya....

I just did this today because I finally had time. It seems easier to make poems when I'm on the computer, rather than on paper...

******************



So Close, And Yet So Far

Six years I've known you
Six years you've been there
But why is it so hard
To tell you how much I care?

First year together was bad
All we did was bicker and fight
But in the end, with Harry
I saw you in a different light.

Once, when I heard you get insulted
I was there to defend, and I endured
Disgusting effect of a spell that backfired
And you were there til I was cured.

I think of you as a great friend
My true feelings for you I deny.
That is why I was overly jealous when
You went to the ball with another guy.

I wished it was me with you there
So I sulked and didn't have fun.
That was when I finally realized
For me, you were the one.

It hurt to think of you with him
The thought of you kissing another.
My heart was crushed, and I was lonely
So I turned to Lavender.

But soon, I knew she wasn't enough
It was you who I really wanted.
I know it, and you know it,
Why did I take you for granted?

At night, I look up at the sky
And I wish upon a star.
That I get to be with the girl I love
Who's close, but yet so far...

******************

I love them!

*thumps chest, near the heart* very touching, as always....making me remember of ----- as in! so cool!! "torpe(tor-peh) man gyud bah!!" lol....torpe...its like reticent...that was addressed to Ron...anyways, that is(not was) good....i really like it....ALL HAIL "ATE" LAIEESHA!!! woohoo!!!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
I'm sooooooo speechless! Well, no I'm never speechless, but you get what I mean.
Lol, It was so cute, I was getting sucked into the cp and the emotion every 2 lines. OMG, That was awesome. And you're definently right, H/G AND R/HR FOREVER PIE!
But, I'm worried. I mean hp has been getting more into the "couple" teenage struck years, but there arent that many relationships. What will you do>? I mean, you can't stop there.........Enough worrying, IT WAS AWESOME LAI!
PAMS~!!!!!!!!!!!
~~Tina

That was wonderful. A gift you have been given, a gift you must share.

Aaaww... thanks Caleb!!

I'd be lying if I said I'm working on my next one, because I'm not. I haven't figured out which ship I'll do next. I sort of have Lupin/Tonks in mind. I'm sort of generating the poem every morning when I drive to work. I'll post when I get it done...

Isn't he just too sweet! *Stops gushing* He's right though! Post when you can hun! I know what it feels like to be lazy...*Pokkles Riddle game*
*HUggles Lai and pokkles Caleb out of luff on her way out*
~~Tina

*has stopped being lazy* omg i actually finished another poem! though it did take me about a week and a half, I did it! I think I'm pretty happy with the outcome of this one, though I personally think it's not enough. it's like something's missing, but it's getting too long... anyway, i think it's rather obvious which ship this is. I just can't think of a title. hhmm... i think i'll leave it untitled for now, and when i think of something, i'll just edit this post... read on:

*******************

We used to always be together,
We used to hang out and be silly.
I used to see you as a dear friend,
And you too felt the same for me.

I thought we'd always be this way,
But something inside me has changed.
I felt something stir deep inside
This new feeling I
