Oh My Eve
Gabriel Aug 2021
How long has it been
      my other half?
Time molded you more
     than God,
turning into something
        far beyond my reach.
As I walked through
The plains of Eden,
   in a search to find you,
only to discover a pen and paper
         for me to write about you.
My love

Last Part Of Me
Gabriel Sep 2018
I scattered every last bit of myself
to places where I have been
I've lost my own soul
yet in those places
I am rich

One place is the bar
Where my lips linger on people i don't know
Beer tasted like Sunday's gospel
in a crowded room full of hypocrites

Second place is my bed
a bottomless pit full of my emotions
my bed sheet have seen the worst
my feet trapped on the feeling of comfort
while the world is cruel enough
to not even recognize your pain

The last is in your hands
Arms like heaven's embrace
I've been dying to live for your touch
as days turn to nights
you light my world more than the kitchen light we dance to all day

In places I have been
I lost myself more
in your eyes
Habit #1
Gabriel Aug 2018
When an atheist loves a religious woman
He might question his own beliefs because of her
To think a miracle is holding his hand and a blessing holding his heart
Would he look up and pray or just thanking the stars?
"When God made you , He cussed for the first time, He turned to an angel gave him a high five telling "******* Im Good!" " -Rudy Francisco

If We Can't Make It
Gabriel Aug 2018
If the stars don't shine our way
remember i loved you
more than the days we just met
Since the day we part I've been feeling blue
You were an empty box that my heart wants to make it full

I guess we were so in love
we created new ways to make our promises more complicated .
We were drowning in an ocean of memories and my mind sunk first

I started reminiscing the past
dying from the present
and couldn't think of tomorrow
without you the clock doesn't seem to tick much louder

If we can't make it
tell him this
be lucky, you have her
as my luck ran out
tell him
if he started losing the way
I'll be there to make one

If we cant make it
remember darling
i loved you

I GAVE HER EVERYTHING
Gabriel Oct 2018
From the pearls in the sea
to the moon that lights the dark
I GAVE HER EVERYTHING  

"*******!" I cursed the world
my throat have never been this sore
my feet felt sober
from all the drunk steps I took
JUST TO GET CLOSER TO YOU

MY VISION MIGHT BE BLURRY
BUT I LOVED YOU STRAIGHT
In my eyes I saw heaven
in your arms i felt home
I longed for a short moment with you

GUESS THIS IS CALLED A LOVESICK BLUES
heh

Miss
Gabriel May 2020
You know
      you love her
when her calls
    feels like the sunrise
entering through your windows
       and her voice
is the alarm clock to your soul
      whenever you sleep
with an aching heart
    from missing her
Darling behind the pretty face
  what more can you offer
when you're already
one of the best things
    in life
has to give

How Drunk Am I?

Going home drunk
While my eyes are blurry  
So my father
Can look me straight in the eye
One last time.
Dad? Come back

Embrace
Gabriel Apr 2020
May love bring me to you
   Like a warm fire
         that hugs you in a rainy night
   a burning bush you came to me
        That's when I knew
       God makes miracle happen
A little delay wont hurt the process
    but it takes time
to embrace the pain
     And more time to love you more
I love you

To A Stranger
Gabriel May 2022
For I have finally risen from the void
that was created on my bed
your features only be recognized
from the corners of my eyes
as I stare at you
to me you are now unrecognized.

From a broken mirror I may remember
but to a clear one I'll hesitate
to know someone like you
someone I seem to hate

It was you all along
A memory I begged to forget
a piece of something spiteful enough
to not even give a gaze

You
For countless of painful measures
I have stood tall
to forget who you are
to consider as a stranger
Despite the moments I have recalled
283 · Sep 2018
Opposite
Gabriel Sep 2018
If you'd ask why I didn't choose you
My tongue curls up to say
That you were the dream
and she was the reality

I've slept far too longer
denying every truth
that the heart needs to wake up
knowing it will never be you

You were the happy thought
at the back of my brain
kept lock inside
being scared that things might change

But I found the weapon
to end all of our suffering
no deadly blades or guns
but only a tongue
having the courage to say
"i'm letting go"

Unbreakable
Gabriel Apr 2020
My dearest wife,
    no matter
how cruel the world is,
we don't break over weak words
    and lose our sanity
over uneducated fools

For my vow is strong
     and my words are true
the sky may fall
   but atleast I have you.

For I love you,
in every parts you adore and hate.
I have found myself a woman so priceless
that in every richness
the world has,
no dime can outshine you

  and no other woman
can have my heart
    Because it will always be you
ILOVEYOU

Magic Trick
Gabriel Sep 2018
I'll snap my fingers
to make you fall in love with me
1...2....3...
Did it work? no?
Probably you don't believe in me

You didn't snap your fingers
but I've fallen for you
no countings
it worked
because I believe

And a curse

Wish
Gabriel Dec 2019
If Santa can wrap happiness
I would tuck myself along with my misery

Hoping it will be my last  messy night
Only to find out happiness cannot be wrapped in colorful papers

But in the arms of everyone you wished they were with you
In front of a cold fireplace
Gabriel Aug 2018
Everytime Heaven cries
Oh Hell breaks loose
For Hell was never a caring person
but for Heaven's sake he did.

Hell saw doves roaming around her
How everytime she walks closer to Hell her Father latches on every creation He did to stop them.

For their love was forbidden
but in the eyes of Hell
He saw the garden of Eden in Heaven
for in the eyes of Heaven
She saw purgatory in Hell
that only her heart can be the judge to his actions

They all fall in love
and in their eyes
they will never be different.
Oh yee of little faith

Whispers
Gabriel Jul 2024
Gently, I handled my words
embraced the pillow
and whispered
the pain that I longed endured
the loneliness which is inevitable
and for as long as the pillow can hear it
  no man can know my weakness
and only tear stains will  remain
Gabriel Jun 2019
After you left
Cigarettes were the best treatment for hang over kisses
Liquor to drown the butterflies in my stomach
               I'd rather stay with my bad habits
      Than being good to the person
                Who never loved you
Let it go

Room
Gabriel May 2020
Lying in my room
   wondering what's missing,

   those brown eyes that matches the color of my coffee,
  my soft blanket that felt like your embrace
  or the alarm clock where I'm pretty sure it was your voice that
         woke me up 30 minutes ago

Sometimes "I miss you"
means
     every item in my room
remembers a piece of you
   waiting for you
to come back

Happiness
Gabriel Aug 2021
Happy is my hands
    that roams around your skin
adoring each portion
   as if God made a temple
for me to worship.

Happy is my mind
   that loves the thought of you
in every dream that you're around
makes me feel
you're just a heartbeat away from me

Happy is my heart
    that shares the same beat as yours
and it pumps faster
  everytime I heard your name

Happy is a man like me
   who tackles destiny
like a football player
    just to make this love
remain happy

What My Last Words Will Be
Gabriel Nov 2018
As time ticks to my last
I regretted everything

The audacity to feel safe
while casualty inflicts harm on yourself and others as well

3am thoughts about how beautiful life is
turn to 3am liquor pounding ,cigarette chasing smoke that blinds my eyes over things that are worth it

7 days God created everything
but it takes a second to pull a trigger
why

Pieces
Gabriel Apr 2020
Hold me in your arms
     Til my broken pieces
             Merge into something
Worth your love
      
Since God made us in His image
   you were made in divine soil
While I was formed in clay
           And you can mold me
To the best man
                 You wanted me to be

Gabriel Jul 2024
When every angle or direction

This is the endless loop of misery of how i miss you.

B.E.G.G.I.N.G
Gabriel Feb 2018
Won't you be the center monument of an exquisite scenery in a place called "my arms?"

Where even you will outshine the sunshine while we set a picnic near a sunset.

Would my rhymes be a crime if I disguise my metaphors as roses to let me get a grip of you?

Will this be enough?
Or do I still need to beg?

Love Poem
Gabriel Oct 2018
When the heart stops beating your name,
It aches constantly trying to get rid of the flat line that you caused.

What was once your voice that alarms her thoughts of empty dreams,

The orchestra that fills her lungs everytime you exhale next to her

Turned to tequila shots that she take every time you lie about missing her

She writes love poems daily to remind you love can be written down in paper,
She felt the whole world in your arms just because she insisted for you to stay.

Yet you left her
and the only thing you said
is "goodbye"
When she left I heard music
A music that is new to my ears
A music that does not resemble any artist that she likes
A music that the world provides me everyday that I did not knew was there
I was too attracted to her and made her my world That I forgot the real world was more colorful without her

One Bottle
Gabriel Nov 2021
Before,
I only take is a one bottle of whiskey,
one enough that cripples the sound
of the doubts that's playing your mind
every **** day,
that one bottle pierce the edges
  where you thought that bullet
is impenetrable
to your hard skin for love
only to discover metaphors that hide around blank shots
that keep you from your sanity
232 · Nov 2021
Rest
Gabriel Nov 2021
How is good is it
if the mind is your enemy
and the whispers started to fade,
  you'll hear a voice
      that echoes through your mind
reaches the fondest of memories
  only to be reminded that you
               are
                   loved.

Gabriel Jun 2021
It was 3 years ago
The very first moment my heart
felt home
Your eyes were like waves
and with every glance
my heart started to love your waters
Your walk was like rhum
I got drunk with every step you take
and that made me had the courage
To say
That the liquor wasn't strong enough to tell you I love you
227 · Nov 2021
Ah Life
Gabriel Nov 2021
A bright day
won't cover up the ****** days
you'll only inhale a good wind
  and later on
walk the path you mistook
to bringing you peace.

Oh sheer luck and will has run out dry
the odds of your hands makes you
want to fold
but life isn't that easy
that you only need to say is "I quit"
it takes time
  and the hands of my clock
have been like a broken back
and in every move
the pain
Gabriel Nov 2021
For am I a piece of pencil
destined to be attached to an eraser
as I scribble promises
through the thin paper heart of yours.

Constant erasure leads to tearing
now I know how painful it is
to be a canvas to every sin
a shed of paper from a notebook
  since the promises I made came back
and the eraser has willingly given up

I write our stories like it's the last
carry every metaphor to permanent
for you stay in this ******* moment
224 · Mar 2018
TRUE LOVE NEVER COMES
Gabriel Mar 2018
It may sound false but I tell you it is always true
There's no true love in life if you're not true to you
The things we feel on how to act makes us vulnerable
making our glutton for love more critical

The metaphors we see,predicts us on what our lovers should be
So I ask you again.
Is it true love or just a love you wanted it to be?
222 · Aug 2018
A Drop Of Rain

Heaven drop a little rain

If You Were To Blame
Gabriel Jan 2018
If you were to blame

I'd blame you for planting weeds in my garden of tulips
For leaving trails of broken glass on my floors

If you were to blame

I'd blame you for letting your smile get into my system
For making these lips linger yours
For giving me the audacity to chase your dreams while I slept with nightmares

Even if I blame you for everything
I keep blaming myself
For loving you.

ShowStopper
Gabriel Sep 2018
We desire a love

that makes us stop on our feet

the eyes follow on dreams we can't
reach

the hands cramp of holding what we can't grip

the heart begins to slow down as she walks by

thats the time you'll realize all things come and go

and the show must go on

The Knuckles And The Heart
Gabriel Jul 2020
A swift hit onto a plain wall
is far better
than an aching heart
that felt what the eyes have seen

My hands have a purpose
but it's far more fragile
than the love it holds

I'll break both
for I have grown numb,
Yet my eyes are waterfalls
that I need to put a dam
for you to not see the tears
214 · Dec 2024
Empty Spaces
Gabriel Dec 2024
I know nothing about tomorrow
But I sure know what it feels like.

A bed with empty spaces
sleeping beside women with different faces.
To try and forget what lingers in my dreams
to try and remember love without the we.

Yet here we are clinging to uncertain wishes
still I wish for you in a million chances.

Now, I might say It's all said and done
Waking up another day without the one.

A Drunk Man's Tale
Gabriel Jan 2018
Feeling drunk and I'm looking for something to feel right
But if love is what you want then I shall be the euphoria of your night
I bow my head with the burns of acid on my throat and with a heart made out of forgotten sticky notes and ripped love letters
For meeting me was not common in an area full of forgotten lovers
I wish to dance , but sadly only walking is my dance step.
I could use that to take you to your home's door step
I reach out once again to take this universe one more chance
So hi, i'm really drunk , do  you want to dance?

If my poems can make you mine
     I already had you at the first piece

You'll be every beautiful thing
   God created.
      
My love,
   You can wrap my poems
anywhere you want
      just to let you know
you are a walking masterpiece
       that even in my dreams
   you'll always be there for me
to have a reason
       to write.

Please Be Sweet
Gabriel Mar 2020
I never asked you to be sweeter
Than your donuts
Or be like sugar

I'll sugarcoat my feelings
by saying
"There's nothing wrong sweetie"
If you read this please

Mistakes
Gabriel Aug 2018
Aren't we all human?
making problems out of solutions
Solutions turn to problems
Isn't it stressful to see?
It doesn't mean we were made by God's image we can play God as long as we want .
We tend to love the powerful for they show inspiration
We forgot to love ourselves just by making mistakes that are not strong enough to even shatter bones
We tremble in fear on things we do not know
Yet we risk everything for a *** of gold
Mistakes does not mean failure
Yet here we are counting them all
Always search for inner peace

Addiction
Gabriel Jan 2018
I held the cigarette more than your hand , it tasted sweeter than your kisses can
With Nicotine inside my lungs and liquor that stained my insides ,
Is there any other way to dry up my cries?
For endless days turn to hardest of nights,
My heart still yearns for a fight.
For countless of times I ran with ache on my chest
and a burden on my back trying to escape God's heaviest test.
Now I held the beer bottle more than you hand .
I moved on and drank it up
and now,Thankfully it's more empty than I am ..

Heaven (poem and a song)
Gabriel Aug 2018
Tell me if it's the only way to feel
A burning fire in my heart hurts so real
I crave a love only you can satisfy
A kind of love my heart can never deny

Baby let me have a taste of heaven
its all over you as I touch the palm of your hand
Baby give me a quick glance of heaven
its on those two eyes im not going to lie
That I've found heaven right by your side.
Gabriel Jan 2018
Let's get coffee at midnight
where we could savor the brew and get high while looking at the stars
I know coffee taste better at morning but It taste best when you're around

Let's drink at the morning !
When the sun shines so bright and the heat spreads the room
Where my throat burns but my heart burning for you.
I'll pass out early in a four cornered room full of your smiles
and speak sober of what we used to be.

I'll dream of you and what we used to do
Where coffee was on the morning
as your lips kissed the cup and I envy it.
Where we pass out drunk at midnight with the stars shining our night.

I woke up at midnight without you
with coffee at the table
and her in front of me .

Almost There
Gabriel Apr 2021
As we kissed in a bar,
your lips tried to send a sign
I asked you if you're alright
You said "almost there"

It's a cold evening
   And I told you that I'm in love,
I asked if you felt the same way
And you said "almost there"

      Few weeks have passed
as I hold your hand,
  your heart now shares the same beat as mine
    I asked for the last time
  
" When's the moment till I can call you my wife"

"My love, we are almost there"

Unearthly Desires
Gabriel Jan 2018
Is it too much to pray and too needy to ask?
If music was my road and your voice is my masterpiece

If staying was more valuable than loving?
As long as your presence is felt and no time to demand

If God were to stay in your dreams in the ocean blue moon nights
to whisper the loudest words there is for you to know I am here.

Would you even knock at my door if it was always open for you?
Can you even tell if there is tears in the rain?

Will you start to remember the colors you refused to paint my world?
For you can't love red if you start to feel blue

How long has it been since I first held your hand,
Your love,
like fine wine that gets better as the years go by
and your lips
that tastes like the next 80 years of my life with you.
Mahal,
with each step we take on this journey of love and life
I'll forever cherish your care and offer you every bit of my strength that this life has to provide.
As we reached 8 years together,
I'll always find ways to prove
that this love
is the love that I only need
in this lifetime that we share
together forever
This poem is dedicated to my best friend and his wife
Happy 8 years Zhan
