A Tale of An Unknown Knight of Arthur

THE LOST SOUL

By: J. Sison

Stray in the middle
of nowhere,

Where the place is so
dark and full of razor-sharp weeds,

A large empty space
inside my mind,

It seems my time
is out of this world.

That is how I look at
myself,

Lost in this reality,

Trying to look for
answers,

Grasping for truth,

In search for my true
self.

Walking along the
dangerous path of my journey,

Where troubles could
come to me in that dark and bushy place,

A question suddenly
pops out of my mind,

Will I be able to
find my way?

Will I be able to
conquer my fears?

Will I be able
to fight this thing within me?

That bothers me,

Torturing me,

Am I going to find my
true self?

Wandering around in
the middle of nowhere,

Where doubts of
finding my way back home seized me,

An old man came
towards me

And asked for water
and food, once he had it,

He told me about
the journey he had been,

How hard he had
traveled,

How long he had spent

Enduring that same
dangerous path,

In search for his own
true self.

Talking while resting
in the middle of nowhere,

With the old man who
is on his way home after finding himself in the journey,

Telling me
things he experienced,

No matter how hard
the road is,

No matter how
difficult to cross rivers,

No matter how high
the mountains are,

No matter how long
the journey is,

You will have the
chance

To conquer and find
your true self.

So I continued the
journey along the middle of nowhere,

Where I left the old
man cheering me on with his words of wisdom,

I promised myself one
thing for sure,

That no matter
how perilous the road is,

No matter how
difficult to cross rivers,

No matter how high
the mountains are,

No matter how long
the journey is,

I will have the
chance,

I will conquer and
find my true self.

TELLING YOU

by: L. A.
G. Martinez

There is something inside of me I
can’t explain

A feeling so strange that
makes me insane

I can’t describe the way it makes
me happy

A feeling of me that no one else
can copy

It all started when we first meet
not so long ago,

And then a strange feeling on me
suddenly grow

The vision of your face kept
coming back to me,]

It started too long that I always
wanted you near me.

I tried all my best not to make
it show,

But the love over me wants to
flow

Because the days of my life
wouldn’t be complete

If I can’t see you pass by the
street.

I know that is harder than I
imagined

Because I know that we have a big
margin

Because that wouldn’t stop me
from trying best

Because only fools are hopeless
and I’m not the one of the rest.

My friends keep telling me that
I’m like a fool,

To love a guy like you is just
like breaking the rules

But I told them with all my glee

The important question is… …
Will you also LOVE ME?.

Why do I
love you?

I love
you not for what you are

But for
what I am when I am with you.

I love
you not only for what you have made of yourself

But for
what you are making of me.

I love
you for ignoring

The possibilities
of the fool in me

And for
laying the possibilities of the good in me.

I love
you for closing your eyes

To the
discords in me

And for
adding to the music in me by worshipful listening.

I love
you because

You are
helping to make the lumber of my life

Not a
tavern but a temple

And the
works my everyday life

Not a
reproach but a song.

I love
you because you have loved me

More that
any creed could have done to make me happy;

You have
done it…

With a
touch…

With a
word…

With a
sign…

You have
done it, by just being yourself.

Perhaps, after
all, that is what loves means

For I
will always love you more.

F A M I L Y

I ran into a stranger
as he passed by, "

Oh excuse me
please" was my reply.

He said, "Please
excuse me too; I wasn’t watching for you."

We were very polite,
this stranger and I.

We went on our way
and we said goodbye.

But at home a
different story is told,

How we treat our
loved ones, young and old.

Later that day,
cooking the evening meal,

My son stood beside
me very still.

When I turned, I
nearly knocked him down.

"Move out of the
way," I said with a frown.

He walked away, his
little heart broken.

I didn’t realize how
harshly I’d spoken.

While I lay awake in
bed,

God’s still small
voice came to me and said,

"While dealing
with a stranger, common courtesy you use,

but the family you
love, you seem to abuse.

Go and look on the
kitchen floor,

You’ll find some
flowers there by the door.

Those are the flowers
he brought for you.

He picked them
himself: pink, yellow and blue.

He stood very quietly
not to spoil the surprise;

you never saw the
tears that filled his little eyes."

By this time, I felt
very small,

And now my tears
began to fall.

I quietly went and
knelt by his bed;

"Wake up, little
one, wake up," I said.

"Are these the
flowers you picked for me?"

He smiled, "I
found ‘em, out by the tree.

I picked ‘em because
they’re pretty like you.

I knew you’d like
‘em, especially the blue."

I said, "Son,
I’m very sorry for the way I acted today;

I shouldn’t have
yelled at you that way."

He said, "Oh,
Mom, that’s okay. I love you anyway."

I said, "Son, I
love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."

FAMILY

Are you aware that if
we died tomorrow,

the company that we
are working for

could easily replace
us in a matter of days.

But the family we
left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of
it, we pour ourselves more into work

than into our own
family, an unwise investment indeed, don’t you think?

So what is behind the
story?

Do you know what the
word FAMILY means?

FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

Misery

By:
J. Sison

Looking
of what I have become is so miserable.

Things
have changed so quickly in a time so ample.

Life
has its ups and downs

The
wind blew from east to west

Or
from south to north;

Where
is my life heading?

I
may have earned a lot of experiences

But
still I consider myself a loser.

I do
not know where to put myself

I do
not know where my path is going.

I
have been thinking of answers

That
can tell me on what I wanted to do.

I
have been always grasping in the dark,

Without
a tiny spark that will lead me to the light.

Why
do things have to come this way?

Why
would I have to act such a way,

That
could ruin anybody’s day?

Why?
Would someone come to me

And
answer those questions?

Maybe
your existence

Has
something to do with these uncertainties

Or
perhaps you are just filling your fantasies.

At
any rate, I am happy that you came

Stay
with me forever and together we will journey

Towards
the so-called ETERNITY.

Forsaken Love

By:
J. Sison

Distance came in our life

And made us surrender;

The flag is flung telling you

That the war is over;

The scent of the zephyr fades away

As the summers day comes its way.

Just like how life could have been

Without you, everything may have not seen.

Time healed the wounds that are hidden under

This question of mine that keeps me wonder

Why should I need to bother?

As the memories made its way to the sky

And I will just have to swallow the pain and let it die.

Ode to My Love

By:
J. Sison

Days
passed so fast;

Time
seems not to always last

Mountains
afar are so high

But
with you beside me,

I
can go even towards the sky.

Seasons
come and seasons go

People
come and people go

Without
asking me to,

My
love for you will now surely go.

I
may close my eyes when I sleep at night

I
assure you, with you by my side

I
can sleep so tight.

And
by fate’s might,

We
will find the light

Together
our future will be bright.

The
Tale of an Unknown Knight of Arthur

(Episode I)

By: Julius A. Sison

It was cold Sunday
afternoon when a brisk movement behind the walls of the two buildings standing in
front of him suddenly shocked him down. He can see debris falling from him left
and right. You can loudly hear screeching of metals and windows glasses breaking
from the towers. It was because of the earthquake that shaken the entire city.

When he
realized that the quake will get even stronger he ran quickly for shelter. He
went under a car thinking that it will help him from any trouble that might catch
him. He waited for few seconds and it even reached few minutes staying under
the car.

Unexpectedly,
a part of a building fell off and hit the car where he was hiding. The debris wrecked
the car as it slowly shrunk it and almost killed him.
