Bittersweet Christmas

bittersweet collide — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 09:00:40 +0000

My neighbor said that they will be celebrating a ‘Bittersweet Christmas’ because they have reasons to be both happy and sad, at the same time. Their sibling along with her entire family, just came back home from the US for their family reunion, and they just bought a new van for their service. Their sister even shouldered all the expenses especially because they got the car along with a cheap auto insurance. It was a gift from their sister’s american husband to their parents and entire family.

The sad part of the story, is that their dad is now unable to stand up or walk, due to an illness caused by taking too much dose of supplements. But, they said that they’re just glad that he’s alive, and they will just take care of him, and hopefully he will recover his strength and motor skills again. He can still talk, and he told his entire family that they should celebrate and be happy this Christmas, come what may.

Now, that’s what I mean by looking at the brighter side of things. the old man is very optimistic, despite of what happened to him. Just having his family and loved ones around, is enough for him to be happy.

Bittersweet Collide Changes

Alexis — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 09:16:21 +0000

I guess everyone is just as bored as I am with the way bittersweet collide used to look like. Aside from its excessive loading time, the header image also used a lot of space, featured and headline entries were redundant and recent entry shows is just one. Bittersweet collide was created by Lex to showcase some love poetry and I guess it’s just right that I place them right affront where people can easily find them. I know there may be some people, actually a lot of them who doesn’t agree with the idea. But I felt the need for change.

It’s time for Bittersweet Collide to move on. I have long neglected writing because of the fear that I may just completely ruin what Lex has started, but me(Jay) and my wife Angel are going to work on bittersweet collide from now on. I guess a good site is hard to put down, and this may not be the greatest poetry site this is on the net, but this means a lot to my sib. I hope you guys would continue to read on. I wish I could post some of Lex’s unpublished entries, but I guess it won’t a be a great idea. For now, just let me do my thing. After all, bittersweet collide isn’t just for one person…. this site is for everyone.

To anyone who wish for their poetry to be published here.� Just click on the contact navigation link that can be found on the main page. above and submit your entries. Thanks!

Love Waits

Alexis — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:47:10 +0000

I am patient, I can wait
I can stand by you
whatever it takes�

but please…
don�t let me live in vain hope
Don�t measure my enduring love
and uncomplaining patience�

I am here, I am here
Just so you know
Just if you forget
I am here, I am here

I am never used to standing
and waiting for luck to pass me by

I am an active subject
I am the flying wind
I am the careless animal
living in the barren earth

but i can be patient
and I can wait
I can stand by you
whatever it takes�

because i care, I do�
and I’m waiting

—————————————————————

This poem is for those who are waiting for the one they love.

true love is…

Alexis — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:27:58 +0000

true love is like taking a walk in the elliptical

a journey in place – never ending

you can walk your fastest and even try to run..
but you can never run or walk away.

you stop, look around and you’re still there.
the same old place, same old faces
just a little exhausted – but refreshed

you rest for awhile…

and then you take that journey again
same journey over and over again,
still in the same place

still the same feeling, only stronger.

pencils and bleeding pens

Alexis — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 02:24:56 +0000

One night I woke up and found myself lying beside you
I could not help but stare at your beautiful face
I gathered my pencils, and started to trace
to capture your beauty in my sketch

…but it seems that my pencils failed
and my purpose defeated
for no matter how perfect my masterpiece is–
It’s still nothing compared to you…

I got my pen, and wrote down every possible words
that would best describe how beautiful you are
and how much love I feel for you

My pens bleed with words
and my brains with it….
But they died in the end – still a failure

My pencils and bleeding pens could never capture
and would never be able to describe
Your beauty and Love.

Nothing could.

The Love Convict On Forbidden Love

Alexis — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 11:33:12 +0000

Many of us are love convicts, I admit being a major love convict. If loving were a crime, I’m probably the most wanted criminal in town, or who knows– in the whole wide world? I am guilty – guilty beyond reasonable doubt. I don’t mind though, because I’m happy loving someone. So happy that smile won’t leave my lips even when I’m asleep.

It’s normal for people to judge people, most especially if� they are engaged in what they call “FORBIDDEN LOVE“. But I guess, there’s no such thing as right or wrong when it comes to love. Wrong time perhaps, or wrong circumstance, for LOVE and loving itself could never be wrong.

On Forbidden Love

One of the hardest things to battle with in love, is loving someone who isn’t yours, or can’t be yours. But, the more difficult the struggle becomes, when that person loves you back just the same. – bittersweet collide

And I love the beautiful quote by the famous RM Rilke: “For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.”

Lastly, I just wanna share this song entitled, “ALL OVER ME”

I really love this song.

Lindsey Harper – All Over Me Lyrics

In the space between what�s wrong and right,
You will find me waiting for you.
All your fortresses go down in the night.
To the dawn I�ll see you through.

�Cause I know, that you know,
You�re all over me now.
And it�s clear, it will show,
Your curtains will close.

But if your heart is cold, my sheets are warm.
I will shelter you through the storm.
I will shelter you all through the storm.

The answers aren�t so easy to find,
The questions will have to do.
�Cause I�ve lost myself deep in your life,
My only fix is you.

�Cause I know, that you know,
You�re all over me now.
And it�s clear, it will show,
Your curtains will close.
But if your heart is cold, my sheets are warm.
I will shelter you through the storm.
I will shelter you all through the storm.

Saying what I am, what we are,
It�s a start towards the truth.
Taking my breath with each day,
All I can stand in my heart it�s you.

In the space between what�s wrong and right,
You will find me waiting for you�

Hail to the Dark Love Phoenix!

Your kisses I could not seem to forget
I’ve never tasted anything as sweet as your lips
Embrace so warm I could not pull away
Without you I feel cold all night and day

My teardrops couldn’t help but dry up
before your beautiful smile
Your love is like a phoenix, burning like fire
the way you make my heart burn
with so much desire

Your love is life breathed into my soul
When your heart is entwined with mine
I know, I am whole.

But when you’re away -
I feel nothing but emptiness
No matter how hard I try,
everything just seems to be meaningless

So, hold me close and never let go
Because life would not mean anything
without you.

it's almost time

Alexis — Sun, 25 May 2008 02:01:08 +0000

I cry myself to tears every single night
coz am losing you.. losing you without a fight.
you’re not going, nor am I leaving
but we’re being torn apart

by time, fate, and circumstance

Every chance I get, I wrap myself around you
and tell you how much I love you,
hold you close like the day would never end
You’re just right here, so near yet so far
Coz it’s almost time..

It’s almost time to say goodbye, again
but this time, it might be for good
if not – how long will it take?
When will you be back in my arms again?
Maybe soon? maybe never!
Should I hope or should I despair?

I don’t know… We don’t know…

Days from now, I would no longer be able to hold you close like this…
and I wonder if you’d still hear me, when I say I love you in my mind
I wonder if you’d hear me every time I breathe your name into the air
I wonder if you’d know, you’re all I would be thinking of while we’re apart–

It’s almost time and it’s killing me –
I’ve long been dead, yet i am dying still, and dying over and over again
I will only come back to life the next time you’d light up my world
with your smile and your love – ’til then I guess….
or maybe not…
