Loneliest

The loneliest road I'll always take, 

Is the one that leads me to your grave,

I come to see and touch once again,

Only your tombstone and picture frame.

The loneliest words I tearfully read,

Are the verses of your epitaph engraved,

The well-carved inscription that sadly states

In loving memory of someone great.

I’ve known what ‘loneliest’ means when you’re gone,

The world has wept in loss of a good man,

But that happens when life’s purpose is done,

Your soul returns to our Creator’s hand. 

just missing my Uncle Evan who died 4 months ago :( 

The moon and I

The moon floats alone in the sky tonight,

Glowing with pale light, dull and less bright,

No single star has stood by its side,

Behind dark, foggy clouds they all hide.

The moon and I are very much alike,

Wishing for that one star to display light,

Waiting that it appears now in sight,

Show up to brighten the sullen night.

LET ME WEEP

Just let me weep, allow my tears to flow,

In grief of something I can’t let go,

Let it cleanse my eyes from sorrow,

For pain to subside somehow I know.

If I mourn, let me have it all released,

Shedding tears is to feel quite at ease,

For a heart that’s occupied with sadness,

Let me give it some space to breathe.

Let me sob, let me pour the pain inside,

Down my cheeks let my lonely tears glide,

Let me show what I cannot dare to hide,

Though a hundred times I have really tried.

I smile and laugh to forget the heartache,

With happy friends around, I don’t feel weak,

But when silence comes, let me just weep,

Alone in the dark, I cry myself to sleep.

"missing you, cle evan" :(

Your Life (Evan "Bobong" Mendoza)

After more than 13 years of battling cancer, Uncle Evan faced defeat and died. He's gone but his legacy continues and his memory lives on. He will be remembered as a good person who has lived a purpose-driven life. He has touched and inspired the lives of many. God loves him and so we all do. We miss him!

This is my second poem dedicated to Uncle Evan.
