A Tale of An Unknown Knight of Arthur

The Lost Soul

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?

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.

 

Family

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

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

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)

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.  

 

To be continued…
