I'm in Cloud 9

I'm in cloud 9 by simplymarrimye
The reasons why I'm in cloud 9

Beyond happiness is what you feel
when you're in cloud 9
It's like you're floating on air
and you wish to stay there forever

Living a life in comfort and wealth
brings an extreme euphoria
but  a castle is an empty place
without a loving king and queen to embrace

Life is Colorful


Life is Colorful by simplymarrimye

My youngest son made this canvass
If you will just look at it,
different colored lines are entangled
Like LIFE, 
it's simple yet complicated.
We live in a world 
where black is black and white is white.
It's how we see the color of life… 
our own life.
Sometimes, it’s blue…
We are sad and regretful
There are times, 
we’re in flaming red…
We feel passionate and aggressive
We always hope 
for greener pasture
Abundance in any aspect
But life will never be constant.
Change is inevitable 
and time is moving fast-forward.
If we are slow, we'll be left behind.
The colors may change
but how we spend every moment of life
is what truly matters.
The choice is ours...
It's how we paint our own canvass


Broken Vow




Expectation comes with love
Whether we admit it or not we tend to hope for things to happen


Broken vow by simplymarrimye


You promised me a bed of roses
but thorns are scattered beneath our sheets.

You promised me the stars in the sky
but I always see them every time you punch my face.

You promised that you'll never leave me
but now, I'm alone and miserable.

You promised me love everlasting
but you broke my heart and crushed it into pieces.

Your every promise is a broken vow
that never should I believed at all.


Forgiveness

Forgiveness by simplymarrimye

Indeed, to forgive is hard
and sometimes we cannot give it overnight.

Some people may need more time...
more courage to heal the wounds of the past.

It's a decision to make...
a choice that will set us free from the chains of hate and anger.


"Mga Hari ng Sablay"

"Nasaan ba ang Matuwid na Daan?" by simplymarrimye


"Ano na naman itong pinagpipyestahan
ng madlang pipol sa internet at pahayagan?
Binubusisi ang pera't ari-arian
ng isa namang opisyal ng pamahalaan."


"Bakit di mailabas ang tunay na halaga
ng yamang tila pinagdududahan?
Di na sila natuto sa mga nakaraang kahihiyan.
Ilan pa ba talaga, ang makabagong kawatan?"


"Sila,.. na dapat ang nagsisilbing ehemplo
at sandigan ng sambayanan
Sila... na dapat gumagabay at sumusubaybay..
ay sila pala itong... mga HARI NG SABLAY."


"Nasaan na nga ba ang matuwid na daan?
Patungo ba sa kaliwa na baku-bakong ituran
o papunta sa kanan para sa maayos, matapat
 at maginhawang kinabukasan?"


"Kasabihan, NOON at NGAYON Part 2"

"Kasabihan, NOON at NGAYON Part 2" by simplymarrimye


"Kung dati, kailangan nating tumanaw ng utang na loob
sa mga taong gumawa ng kabutihan sa atin."

Pero sa panahon ngayon, maraming kalalakihan 
gumagawa lang ng maganda kung SEXY ang kaharap nya."


"Kasabihan, NOON at NGAYON"

"Kasabihan, NOON at NGAYON" by simplymarrimye


"Kung dati, masugid munang manliligaw 
ang binata sa dalagang naiibigan.
Pero sa panahon ngayon, text lang at chat
ang katapat.. sila na agad."

"Kung dati, kasal muna bago magsiping
ang dalawang pusong nagmamahalan.
Pero sa panahon ngayon, may SCANDAL pang kumakalat.. 
kahihiyang sino ang may kagagawan?"


GOD's Intervention



Failures may come any time
and hit us out of nowhere.
They may defeat us
and put our lives in shame.

They may blow our mind
and eat up our sanity.
They may bring us frustrations
and leave us in total despair.

Hurting Words

hurting words by simplymarrimye


Words can be so cruel
that can break a lover's heart.

They can be so sharp
than can cut through one's soul.

They can be so hateful
that can never be forgotten.

Better to Let it Go


better to let it go by simplymarrimye


Love needs to be flourished
not be wasted away.
Respect and trust make it blossom
every single day.

Love is not selfish nor wicked 
never egoistic and narrow
Any relationship will fail...
then parting ways will follow.

Kapag ginagabi na ng uwi  si honey...
(question mark)
"Bakit ngayon ka lang?"

Kapag inuumaga na siya ng pagdating...
(exclamation point na patanong)
"Saan ka galing !!!"

"Control-Alt-Delete"

Control-Alt-Delete by Simplymarrimye


May mga taong sadyang manhid
Hindi man lang marunong makiramdam.
Sadyang dedma lang at walang pakialam.

Sa mga nilalang na may pusong-bato,
ano nga ba ang dapat sintensya?
Eh di... i-unfriend o unfollow mo na lang sila.

"A Happy Wife"

Simplymarrimye's A Happy Wife


No richness can make a woman joyful
unless she prefers money over love.

No luxury is ever worthy
unless she prefers sparkling gems over warm hugs.

No extravagance can keep her domestic
unless she prefers a mansion over a sweet home.

A happy wife is a woman who has
nothing more valuable than a man who knows her innermost.


Dream and Reality

dream and reality by simplymarrimye


When we close our eyes to sleep
our mind can travel
through time and space.

Dreams may take us to a place of wonder
a moment of great pleasure
can be vague or vivid.

But once we open our eyes to consciousness
our fantasies leave our senses
and true life starts to surface.

A dream may come to reality
but reality may never become a dream.


"Ikaw Aking TOTO"


Simplymarrimye - "Ikaw Aking TOTO"


"Hindi mo man batid ang tunay na kahulugan ng kaarawan,
Hindi mo man masabi kung anu ang iyong nararamdaman.
Ngayong araw ng iyong kapanganakan,
Pagmamahal namin ang tanging maibibigay.

Sa labing isang taon na Ikaw ay kapiling,
Saya at lambing ang iyong pinaramdam.
Sa bawat yakap at halik mo sa amin,
Ramdam ang init ng iyong pagmamahal.

Kaya ngayong kaarawan mo,
Tangi kong maipapangako,
Hangang sa huling hininga ko
Gagabayan kita... Ikaw aking TOTO."

Poem by: Mama Malen


Eleven years ago, Clarence Jhoize was brought to life. It was the day when his parents felt the overwhelming joy of having a son of their own. He completes the Magos family with his two older sisters. He's a normal child at birth... He would cry when he's hungry or if it's time for a diaper change... But as he turned a month older until he reached his third, something was not right. He could hardly hold his head up, make no vowel noises and could not turn his head round to sound. He's not progressing at the same rate as a normal child his age.

Such signs of developmental delay brought distress to the family. He underwent some series of tests and he's diagnosed to have been suffering from "Global Developmental Delay" or is defined as any significant lag in any child's physical, cognitive, behavioral, emotional or social development as compared to normal ranges. He has "seizure disorder" that greatly affect the development of his brain cells. He's being treated and monitored by a specialist in a regular basis and because of this condition, his Mama Malen was compelled to give up her job to focus on him and Papa Charlie should work double-time as a ship's crew in order to sustain his needs and provide appropriate attention.

My sister Malen calls him TOTO and this poem was specially made  for a child equally special like him.
