I found out about blackout poetry when I was searching for ways how to overcome writer’s block. True enough, it eases the struggle but in the beginning, it was not easy. All the words that I read in a book are screaming to me, “Choose me! Choose me!” Finally, I was able to comprehend Attractive Annie and Life.

I Am A Dreamer
I am a dreamer
Yes I am
Travel without minding that
huge fare
Getting dirty camping I won’t
care if it is not a glam
Ever since I am a dreamer
A gig in a runway
Giving out book and food for free
Own two houses, one in a city
and one by the beach

Plea of A Clueless Heart
I
know it from the start
That
truly I adore you
From
the deepest of my heart
It
shouts I Love You
In
me I let it be keep
For
know its craziness
This
feeling takes me so long to sleep
It
really makes me feel life’s loneliness
I
implore you then, hear its cry
Wound
be cured
By
making a try
To
love me so pure

DATE A GIRL WHO WRITES POETRY
It is with sincerity that I
say
To every gentleman that
wishes to stay
But never finds a reason to
be still
Be patient and look for love
that won’t frail
Allow this humble stranger to
give you advice
Never judge a girl by her
looks but on how she flies
You know she can if she
writes poetry
Either she keeps it on her
journal or in a bark of tree
So if you must, date a girl
who writes poetry
She writes words to be free
When everyone else is dying
to find their rhythm
She would sit with her pen
trusting it to sign her name
Date a girl who writes poetry
Simply because she values the
important of words
For her words once said is
said
For her words once written is
written
Date a girl who writes poetry
Once you do you’ll never be
bored but be challenged
To figure her style and her
metaphor
And once you can’t, all you
have to do is ask straight
She writes from experience
twisted with fiction
From a blank paper to a story
that is yours
She is never violent in
action
Though she may vent by
turning them into a beautiful verse
Date a girl who writes poetry
Because she can balance her
passion and her reality
So, my dear stranger, if you
must
Date a girl who writes poetry
She who have experienced love
more than what she thought
She is magic without pixie
dust
She is time capsule
She is magic

GAME OF POWER
My
bad, I was late for the game
I
arrived at the half break
It
seems my team is winning
Without
haste they can go to fame
Chance
of good exit is at stake
Before
the tossing of the coin
I
knew they had fixed the game of power
Fool
players for I am not getting any younger
No,
I am not bitter on the result
It
is just that I always see them
Too
common, some tested, some unproven
Without
me they can win
Yes!
I crave for being a mainstay
They
can’t stay on the arena forever
They
should sit on the bench for a while
Or
pass the ball to the exile
It
is just that once in their chance
They
go beyond the ability of their power
It
is just that before their chance
They
don’t prefer the game they are in

SALT AND LIGHT
I wrote this poem
when I was in high school as an activity in one of my class. I don’t remember
having difficulty writing this one. Up to now I am still not regretting that I
do not use metaphors in this poem because I can still remember what is and how to
be a salt and light. I don’t revise this because I want to share what I was
thinking that time.

SAVE MOTHER EARTH
How
wonderful to watch the sun rise and the way it set
The
butterflies that are sipping pollen of colorful flowers
To
hear the melodious voice of the birds in the tree
The
laughter of the children playing hide-and-seek
To
taste nature’s gift from sea and farm
All
these are gifts from God
Time
past
Man
started to abuse nature
The
green leaves are starting to turn gold
A
sign of poverty, famine or may cause death
Land
and water will be different
Marine
life may vanish
Fresh
air will be no more
Health
or even life will be dangerous
We
will suffer
If
this catastrophe occur when we are dead we are lucky
Though
I doubt that we can find our luck in heaven
We
will die!
We
will die leaving unwanted legacy to our children and the next generation
Please
help protect nature
Help
save Mother Earth!
Help
treasure the gifts of God
Act
now!

NO REASON TO HATE
I have no reason to hate you
I have no right to tell you that you are wrong
Besides, no one really knows what is earthly correct
Unless, what you have been acting is under the demand of the modern society
So really, I have no reason to hate you
I’ve got something better than hatred
Though this one is very much complicated
Unlike hatred this one will make us a bunch of fools
This one can lead us to our smiling thoughts
This one can also destroy our poise
But somehow this is very reason of our existence
Even if we give up on it
Someone will come along and bring it back to life
This one I am offering is hard to explain
Funny, because there are moments that we deny this to ourselves
Yet, its existence is much enjoyed
More than anyone else, offering this is easy
But considering the ratio of our society this is hard
I have no reason to hate you
I have no reason to be sad
Because I have love to give
I have love to receive
I am in love
I am in love with the idea of loving
It so powerful that it outruns some childish hatred
I am in love with the thought of happy possibility
So really I’ve got no reason to hate you
I may had some heartbreaks but I will get over it

ENDOWMENT
Wonders
of the creation
Full
of beauty and imagination
Gift
from the heavens above
For
His kindness and love
Each
has its own beauty and purpose
For
our goodness I suppose
So
in Him let us be grateful
For
making our life colourful
The
morning sun that is so bright
Gives
warm and delight
The
moon and the stars in the evening
Sounds
safe and securing
The
trees swaying in the air
Give
food, beauty and life to bear
The
colourful flowers in the garden
Make
us smile all of a sudden
Water
deities ruled by Neptune
Home
of every oceanic creation
Wind
that blows every second each days
Utter
his gentleness sometimes rudeness
Venomous
snake of Africa and Asia
Large
aquatic reptile of a tropical area
Possess
something beneficial and common
Leathers,
made from their skin
And
then lives the best endowment
Man
– bestowed of various talent
who care for this wonderful legacy
And
gain their beauty

IDLE
You wait
You stand for hours
Or maybe for days
You really don’t know
You wait
You cannot move
Until someone tap you
So far no one did

BEST DAYS OF MY HEART
Waiting for my turn at window two
I hear your voice despite the noise
Curious, I look around
There you are with your red shirt and a new hair
color

EMPTY JAR
Though
you are made of the finest hands
Embellished
of all the precious funds
You
have been here for almost a year
Witnessed
an innovation on passing pair

SONG OF CONFESSION
You
were not a part of my world
Until
one night you came knocking
Through
a dream you let me noticed you
I
never care to share so it may come true
07 July 2014
WE ARE ONE
I
am with the whole world
Same
as the whole world is with me
Perhaps
the best reason to consider
In
this chaos
In
this uncertain
In
this life, my dear!
We
are one with million people
No
doubt and hesitation
When
our cheeks blushed
And
the sparkle in your eyes
Truly,
we all fall in love
Have
you?
It
is love my dear
When
we are one – one with our foes
One
with the whole world
Taking
chances and more than feeling sorry
Not
because of heartaches
But
because we love

WITH THE WILDS AND THE STRANGERS
With
the wilds and the strangers I find comfort
Through
their eyes I can see that we share the same longing
I
find comfort sharing my disagreement
Because
somehow, sometimes, we disagree

BEST DAYS OF MY HEART
Waiting

Curious,

There
you are with your red shirt and your new hair color

CURSED DEJAVU
I
hear the same song playing next door
The
little aspiring singer on second voice
As
always two candid cats lying on the floor
Hesitant
in their meal as if they have a choice

WON’T BE OFF AS A DREAMER
So
as be exhausted on falling
Crossed
fingers of a dreamer
Has
its very own catcher
Like
the stars that never leave
We
just do not see them
Until
they die and fall through a cloud’s rim
And
appear in the eyes of a believer
In
a patient heart of a dreamer

CHANGE OF SEASONS
Season we
await come in its turn
Clouds’
teardrops are gone running
in every continent’s river to its deepest
sea
in every mountain and roots under
Sip by
thousand thirsty tree
Eaten by one
hungry world
