My Sun
Be inspired by this one of a kind stellar article. Honeylyn L. Casquijo's very first long poem.
Does the sun shine to entertain me?
I am going to start a happy life
despite the fact
that you chose
to stay in her realm
as much as I knew
I have a place
to you my sun
is always a wondrous prize
I will bow before your highness
just warm me
with that fiery fire of yours
while my soul thirsts
because it burns to the ground
but my spirit lives on
as if she were drawn by your affection.
You're my strength and my weakness
you're my hope and my stumble
if at any time you need to cross again
behind a fence for someone else
just leave me marks of trail
so I will know which road to take
before I go with a shattered destiny.
When your rays of light
seize to direct me to your path
I'm bold enough to wait for your spark
my heart maybe dormant for a while
waiting for you will worth a noble price.
If time becomes too crook and cruel
I am willing to gamble just to feel
that you're still my sun
no matter how dim
our world afar
my love will remind you
that I'm here waiting
for your glow.
When the universe conspires
and takes your halo
just don't hesitate to drop
coz' I'm always here
ready to catch when you fall.
***************
Let the moon
cries out of jealousy
when he laments
I won't feel pity
I'm yours my sun
and he's got his stars
I would set my days too bright
if he dares to take a glimpse
I would rather hide
from my very shadow
my heart would be a rigid stone
I won't listen even he'll mourn
from dusk 'til dawn.
I ain't like a little kid
catching glazing fireflies
in the meadows of a solid night
I won't be amazed
by their glowing seductions
I would rather watch them crawling
and while they're crawling
their illuminations start to fade.
Seduce and attract me
with your rays of light
embrace my sadness
and fill my life with delight
tempt me, my king
I won't resist your charm
coz' I'm your captive
from the moment you rose
'til the time you'll set.
I ain't free to love again
you conquered my feet
as if I'm just a dust clinging
cloaking behind your crystal halo
your luminous ball
is filled with hypnotizing charms
and the temptation to give up from it
is somehow compelling
I'm afraid to fall from your sky.

Be My Sun From Dusk 'til Dawn
I've been waiting for you, " where have you been?"
My garden blossoms in spring
but I've been waiting for you,
"where have you been?"
Are you being frosted
after that long wintertime
and you haven't paid my heart
even a single ray of your light
or do you enjoy hiding from her sky
and just left me with an autumn sunshine?
Though, there were butterflies
hanging around taking advantages
of my blooming flowers
yet they're too unlucky
to sip even an ounce of nectar
coz' even how kind my flowers are
to quench and satisfy their thirsts
but their nectars keep getting bitter
drying coz' they're missing you
my sun!
Where have you been?
Don't torment me
save my well
it's filled with pouring rains
and flooded my deep hole.
How could you be so selfish
and tried to rob my smiles like a thief
can't you hear my pleadings?
Bring back my summer days
I would rather endure
the dryness of my vast desert
than to stray in springfield
eroded by rivers of tears.
The dryness of my eyes
eloped with my empty heart
I didn't notice where they moved
all I knew they're tired of orchestrating
my chaotic harmony.
Who shall I blame
if my heart wouldn't be tamed?
Yes, I'm getting savage
but I don't want to be a scoundrel
and I can't fight the wildness
of my own surreal emotion
perhaps I'm getting crazier
every moment you're gone.
Awakening Autumn
Since the day my sun had left
my garden forced to fall asleep
the lonely maple trees never swayed
and their leaves keep falling
adding darkness in my autumn ground.
The cozy breathe of wind
is as cold as snows
of the winter springs
and maple leaves falling on the ground
are as pale as snowflakes
fluttering from the sky.
If I have one wish to make
I wish to hear the birds singing signs
that my sun is coming
I want to see just one sprouting seed
heading towards his ray of light.
The flowers bloom.
Flowers blooming
And my flowers start to bloom
yes they're spreading their pollens
I'm glad to see some rover flies
mingling around with butterflies
and honeybees
visiting my garden
sipping my flowers' nectars
under my master sun.
Lilies and lilacs swaying gracefully
while the lovely peonies, daisies
and camellias
are inviting butterflies for a date
have some silly days my little garden
enjoy while my sun is shining
let those quails hiding in bushes
spend their honeymoons
just for once.
My friend hedgehog
is out for a jog
in an old rotten log
playing, seeking
some slugs
in the muds.
Alas!
He found some good slugs
for his breakfast.
For it's springtime
and my sun has come to visit
those sprouting little seeds shall rise
and grow towards
his rays of light
soon, they'll become my friends
who's willing to listen
to my stories of happiness
and pain
when my sun will forsake me again
and then leave me in vain.
When my sun comes and shines
When my sun comes
and shines
my flowers turn red
and add colors
to my thick lips
I am smiling back again
dancing with my sun
holding my hips
I missed him
yes I did
and nothing compares
to the happiness he gives.
Hug me my sun
be my visitor for once
though you lingered
for the past autumn days
I still welcome you
with praises of love.
Grace my life with surprises
but don't ever leave me again, breathless
coz' I don't know how to tame my spirit
your absence kept me longing
for your sparks kept dimming
please take away my sadness
let me enjoy your greatness.
