Home
it’s been said many times
a house is not a home
it’s just a dwelling place
to get through days
it’s been said many times
a home is made up of
a loving father, a caring mother
and kids to share
yet, through and through
over the years, over time
we’ve witnessed, homes
crumble down
and for most they say
it’s the father, not so loving
or the mother, not so caring
which leaves the kids scuffling
but i say my dear
my home is with you
regardless of
no matter what

What If Snowflakes Don’t Fall In Winter?
It humbles me to remember where i came from and all the hard work i had to do to be where i am now.
“What If Snowflakes Don’t Fall In Winter”, my first poetry book about love, will always be special because it made me the Amazon best – selling Love Poet that I am now. Something that I thought I would never achieve in my lifetime.
Peace
Peace
and just when you thought solitude
is what you need to live and survive
what if, it’s but a mere illusion?
in fact,
there isn’t stillness in seclusion?
there isn’t freedom in liberation?
there isn’t hope in ambition?
‘cos, no matter what you do
the war is in your head
the rage is in your soul
the inferno is in your heart
and, peace is just
a product of your imagination
a manufactured information
a fabricated deception
go, fight
the demon in your head
the evil under your bed
the culprit that said
“you are not good enough and you will never be”
accept the challenge
spring up. climb.
rise up. grow.
prove them all wrong.
unlock your fullest potential.
I Will Love You Forever, Again
I Will Love You Forever, Again
it’s been many days, many months, many years
i could barely remember the reason, the story behind
we parted ways, we said goodbye
but the pain of letting go, saying adieu
broke me in million little pieces
shattered me in million more ways
it’s been many days, many months, many years
we have moved on, we have moved forward
i could barely remember the challenges, the obstacles
i went through just to get by
forgetting you wasn’t easy, ’twas so damn hard
i was torn apart, i was wrecked, i was fragmented
i grieved in silence, i suffered in perfect serenity
it’s been many days, many months, many years
i could count more days, more months, many more years
i’ve mastered the art of smiling while agonizing
i’ve mastered the skills of being broken yet whole
i’ve mastered the way to move on while wanting to look back
it’s been many days, many months, many years
i am completely convinced, totally assured
that you are but, a fragment of my dream,
a beautiful memory of my past worth remembering as i smile, until on the 29th day
of the second month of the year,
you appeared my dear
and all the days, the months, the years that passed by were forgotten, set aside
would it be too late or too soon
to say my dear that i’ve missed you so
in all those days, those months
and those years, and if you may, let me say
“i promise to love you forever, again”
Appleseed (Jayson Polley)
I Long For You
I Long For YOU
i’ve seen hell in the eyes of men
ripping off the dreams, murdering the future
of young girls around whenever they deemed
to have power and control over
yet,
i’ve seen heaven in YOUR eyes
heaven is in YOUR arms
i’ve witnessed evil in the presence of pretentious men
camouflaging as righteous, pretending to be virtuous
wanting to manipulate, craving to exploit
yet,
i’ve witnessed the good in YOU
good is in YOUR existence
i’ve experienced blazing inferno inside my heart
a raging fire causing great distress
a violent flame burning my hopes, my dreams
yet,
i’ve felt tranquility by mere mention of YOUR name
there is comfort inYOUR words
there is calmness in YOUR actions
and so,
i long for YOU, always

Uncertainty
Uncertainty
if uncertainty is daunting, and living is just believing
then i’d say, i love you with all of my fears, agitation, and panic
but i’d love to believe living without you
is more unsettling than any of my trepidation would be
so i look at the heavens above and say my highest esteem to God
for i’ve met my greatest blessing, the day i’ve met you
if uncertainty is daunting, and living is just believing
then, i want you to know that if i can’t have you for the rest of my life
i’d settle for the thoughts of afterlife
so i look at the heavens above and extend my praise and thank to God
for i know He has prepared a room for you and for me in His kingdom above
if uncertainty is daunting, and living is just believing
then, i’d wait for the perfect time to come
when uncertainty is no longer daunting
and living is not just believing
uncertainty is you
living is you
Breath
Breath
i can’t breath, i can’t cry, i can’t even sigh
when you pushed me hard, down the ground
and why? just why?
because i am different?
my color is different from yours?
since when did colors matter?
since when did you have the right to treat me like i’m not even half a human?
i can’t breath, i can’t cry, i can’t even sigh
when you humiliated me in public
and why? just why?
because i am not like you?
my beliefs are different from yours?
since when did differences in beliefs matter?
since when did you have the right to ridicule me?
why the need to segregate
why the need to separate
different colors?
different races?
different beliefs?
different status?
it’s choking me. i can’t breath. i can’t cry. i can’t even sigh.
i need to breath. survive. live

Yet I Pray
Yet I Pray 🌕🌼
i see them all bowing their heads in supplication
begging earnestly, humbly or maybe i thought
in the church, all Sundays for worship and adoration
over the years as time goes by
and yet i never understand why
why they seemed to be good, to be nice, to be kind
only within the confide of the walls of the church
for everyone to see, for everyone to witness
over the years as time goes by
and yet i never understand why
why they still bang their doors upon arriving their homes
they yell at their servants with little or no reason at all
they nag at the simplest mistakes of their children
over the years as time goes by
and yet i never understand why
they who claimed to be servants of God live a luxurious life, amidst vow of poverty
they have been allegedly molesting women and children
they have been irrational human beings
over the years as time goes by
and yet i never understand why
why, really why, yet i pray.
i pray for God to grant me wisdom to understand
things that i can’t barely acknowledge
pray for God to grant me discernment to preceive things better
over the years as time goes by
and yet i never understand why
why, really why,
yet i pray
i keep praying
even if i don’t know why

Manila
Manila
where do i begin to tell you at least, that
i can’t make it here, while you are there
i can’t have breakfast in bed while you are on the phone
i can’t have coffee while you are driving through the highway
i can’t have sumptuous lunch while you are ordering fastfood
i can’t have dinner while watching you fix yours from a distance
where do i begin my dear, to that say i am sorry
ours could be so odd, so odd we don’t see eye to eye
i don’t wanna go to bed whispering goodnight while caught between crazy storms and poor connectivity
i don’t wanna dream of forever hopeful but alone
i don’t wanna wake up at the first blush of sunshine without you by my side
so, while you are there and i am here
trying to figure out the best way to share
our love, our hopes, our dreams
remember then,
life always ends where it begins
ours, just come in full circle
we are back to where our love started;
