Hand in hand we
marched to see
The fading of a great
misery
We battle for
knowledge and seek the truth
Overcome the odds
with our sooth
All because of one
mighty school
That gave us
knowledge as a tool
With mentors of great
respect
Who taught us all how
to correct
It is our light to
victory and pride
Lets the darkness
fade and subside
It has a bond so hard
to break
And for our pain
never to ache
-Gerald James Castro
CRIES OF A POET
Imploring for God’s
mercy,
Shift this ill-fated
life,
Cleanse these
impurities away,
Apply pertness to my
life….
Pour my body with
acid,
And melt till I fade,
Remains nothing but
despair,
An insoluble feeling
ever made….
Oh despair, sweet and
treacherous,
The feeling of being
bludgeoned,
Pierced, pinked,
slashed and more,
Eracidate me in just
a split second….
Tormented by an undying power,
Of the negativity of
love,
A murderous road in
life,
Without the presence
of dove….
My soul, trying to
mount away,
Leaving its structure
behind,
Unable to bear the
unseen wounds,
To death’s prison,
let I be confined….
The irony of this
tearful story,
Leaves me no hope to
inhale,
Pandora’s Box has
been opened,
This is my sad
endless tale….
-Gerald James Castro
Venom Of Love
Sitting in a crowded
place,
Drinking to satisfy
my lonely soul,
Abusing words on a
piece of paper,
Pushing my hands just
to crawl.
My pen bleeds on this
white sheet,
While creating a
heart with a beat,
And I take another
shot in my veins,
Never knew venom
taste so sweet.
Few more breaths left
before I surrender,
To this music playing
deep in my ears,
And the words I am
writing on this whiter sheet,
Coming straight from
my soul without any fear.
But before I leave
this place forever,
There is one last
thing I need you to do,
To make sure that you
do read these words,
And realize how much I
love you….
-Gerald James Castro
Let me be your
blanket,
Serve to make you
warm,
I’ll absorb the
coldness for you,
Protect you from any
harm.
Let me be your
hankie,
To wipe those crystal
tears away,
Letting you know I’ll
dry your eyes,
Take away all your
dismay.
Let me be your eonian
flower,
Giving you aroma to
smell,
Staying here forever,
And only you can
tell.
Let me be your song,
That goes on and on
forever,
To allay all your
fears away,
Make your smile
lovelier.
Let me be your ocean
of tranquility,
To catch all your
dreadful tears,
Pelt me all your
sadness,
I’ll make you happy
for a million years.
Let me be your
thorns,
Because you are my
beautiful red rose,
Forbidding anyone to
pick you up,
To let them see how
your beauty glows.
Let me be your
knight,
To fight for your
honor and glory,
I’ll remain mighty in
every battle,
Because you are my
one and only.
Let me be your soft
pillow,
For you to hug
tightly at night,
Whenever you’re
lonely,
Imagine I am just by
your side.
Let me be your
shining stars,
That gleam all
throughout the night sky,
And I’ll form the
words “I love you,”
You’ll probably ask
why.
Let me be your
rainbow,
With colors and
effulgent hue,
Emblazons your world,
And anything you
drew.
Let me be anything
you desire,
Simply all to satisfy
your heart…
Let me love you
forever,
Only death may bring
me apart…
I LOVE YOU….
-Gerald James Castro
This is my very first poem… I made it when I was in Grade 5… Too inspired by her, I made a poem expressing the condition I was suffering that time… Well the words are plain and simple because I still don’t have the sufficient knowledge to construct one like my recent ones…. It’s called…. My true love….
My true love never
talks to me, not even once,
When I walked very
close to her, she always runs,
Never even thinking
of how much I love her,
Because she knows
that I’m just a sore loser.
Every single day, I
always have sleepless nights,
Without her on my side,
I always have a fright,
I hug my pillow so
tight when I am sleeping,
Just only thinking
that she is the one I’m hugging.
And I will give her
anything that she desires,
Especially an endless
love that burns like fire,
I will cheer her up
whenever she’s lonely,
Because forever, I
want her to be happy.
To see a pretty smile
whenever I see her,
Because I love her so
much until forever,
Though I know I
really can’t keep up with her,
But at least my love
for her will last till forever.
-Gerald James Castro
