But in this poem, the lass is named Young Fair. There is a mystery in her disappearance. That question is left unanswered in this poem. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/884175/ I wrote this poem about how I was transformed once by some dark moments in my life. I filled with a rabid desire to destroy and to harm. But within me, I still felt light... http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845541/ I'm not sure but I think this poem was unconsciously inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabelle Lee". Nonetheless, this poem speaks about the liability I have over the consequences of what I feel. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845357/ I wrote this poem out of inspiration from Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech and the deeds of freedom fighters who defended the oppressed through non-violence, such as Gandhi. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845354/ "If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses, sink me in the river at dawn, send me away with the words of a love song..." ~ If I Die Young by the Band Perry http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845353/ I wrote this while daydreaming about the Second World War. The destruction of Manila during the Liberation equaled the ruins of Warsaw and Stalingrad. I hope that such fate will not happen again. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845351/ "Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:7-8 http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845346/ Another poem I wrote in the past for a person I used to like. I have always wondered why love has been the theme of most of my poems and I myself am a "love poet". Hmmm.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845341/ I wrote this during our English session about free verse. I wrote this for someone I loved in the past. *sigh* Teenage love, ay? http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845339/ I posted this poem quite late. Merry Christmas to y'all! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845337/ Most of my poems revolve around the most intriguing mystery - love. My views on the true beauty and nature of love are compressed in verse into this short poem. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845131/ I was walking alone at our school's outdoor court after the rain. There were some placid puddles on the ground. I spent the time reflecting on love. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845129/ Though blinded by tears of an impossible love, her light shatters such blindness. She is a star in the night, a sun in the twilight. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845123/ I dedicate this poem to someone special to me. Alas, poetry is my escape from the pain of unrequited love! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845121/ I wrote this poem during our History session about the Renaissance. I love the Renaissance, a time that devoted itself to true beauty, the versatility of the human mind, and the perfection of art. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/filibustero/845118/
