Poetry by Michael Bechayda

June Oh June

June Bloom

Somewhat Gloom

My heart is dull

Why am I blue?

Getting through this day

With a "fake" smile on my face

Aloof won't happen

Because I'm cool

Negative thoughts

Heart be strong

Tears don't flow

Because I am strong

Journey

I was once lost

But I was found

Learning about life

On this curvy path

The Good and the Bad

I took inside

Darkness blinded me

On the path I took

Died "almost" a couple times

Bright and Blinding light

On my mind that time

Guessing it is not my time to go

Playing death

Like it is chess

Waking up like I slept

A greater plan

For ALL of us

Even for me to understand....

Baby Ace

A fragile little thing

So calm he sleeps

Innocent and so delicate

I don't even want to breathe

My heart was moved

The moment he lay

And fell asleep

On my arms that day

Rock Cold Heart

Today my "Heart" feels like stone

Closing up my "Heart" until the time is right

I might be selfish in so many ways

Being inconsiderate is part of me

I will not bend over

And lose myself

A person that I am

With a beating "Heart" to guard

That deserves alot more than this right now

Entering and Leaving

Is part of life

So I chose this path

So you can focus on "Life"

Stress free and "Free"

Take that and leave

I'm sorry to write this Poem but this is how I feel

Drizzling Heart

Walking on this path

On a gloomy afternoon

I saw you twice

When I was passing by

I thought you closed your heart

I guess I was wrong

Hoping for just the best

All I care is to see you happy

Now this path I'm walking

Is leading me in a curvy road

Clouding in my mind

Judgement is not kind

I will find my way back

To ease that mind of mine

I guess it was never ment to be

It was just ONLY a PHASE for me

Tangub Is In Me

I'm in this place from long ago

Trying to live a different life

From what I wanted it to be

So much change surrounding me

Old and new faces

I have and haven't seen

From the days I been living here

All I can say this type of life

Would suit my needs

Trying to be content whats around me

To live this type of life

That I'm not use to live

For my heart yearns

For the new me

For the old me to learn

And be happy and finally be set free

Pick & Choose

Being alone is a choice

A path of that life

Isn't really meant for us

Social beings we are born to be

Never alone

Never shall

Never should

Never quit

Hearts getting hurt

Minds getting lost

LOVE not being found

Life being dull

The heart is a muscle

Can endure alot of stress

Being broken

And have fallen down

Just get back up

Don't even try to lose

Your a winner and live life to its fullest

Happiness is just waiting for you

Idling By

I'm sitting here all alone

Waiting here to hear from you

Tired from a busy day

At least I can have a peace of mind

If you decide to talk to me

Patiently waiting until that time

Maybe till another day?

Just remember I am here to stay

For you to say

Whatever you wish

Your wish is my command

I'll will try to seek

Gentle Giant

People kill and eat

A protected creature they see

Harmless in every way

Gentle giant indeed

Threatened Species

Around the world

Some people could care less

If they become extinct

Protected in some parts of the world

Not really enforced

What "Laws" are set for them

Illegal in so many ways

And even groups that care to protect

Such gentle creatures

Are having a hard time

Getting their voice heard

Just take a stand

For what you believe

And think if its right or is it wrong

Choose and pick it is your choice

Me?

I am just a man

Just sometimes misunderstood

If you get to know me

You be surprise what you'll know

Poet at heart

Portraits for fun

Deep passion for music

Likes martial arts

These don't define who I am

But what I like to do with my time

I am just me learning the ways of life

Exploring new things everyday

Whether you like me or not

It is up to you

If you want to take a chance

And get to know me for once

Forward

Negativity get out of my sight

Surround me with happiness

With a GOD fearing type of life

Sacrificing and Bible abiding path

Will do my very best to be like you

Heavenly Father

I give and submit to you

Moving

I'm going to this place

I was meant to be

Hoping for a different life

From what it used to be

Been years since I was there

Hoping it is the same as back then

Envisioning on my mind

What would life would be if I was really there

Far away from my true home

As cold as it can be

White when the snow flakes come

Chicago is where to be

But I will make this my new home

A place called Philippines

Will always have a place

In my dear big heart

For me to LIVE

For me to LOVE

For me to Learn

The ways of Life

Philippines here I come

Time

Everyday is like a test

Living life

With no regrets

Knowing what is right from wrong

Never choosing the hardest one

Easy choice, Easy goes

Never even looking back

No else can even judge

But we will see when it comes

Not too late to change our ways

To walk the same path as our Savior once did

Would You?

A calling in your life

Is a choice of yours

No turning back

When you answer the call

A new life

A fresh start

A different way of life

A choice to be made before its too late

Worth so much more

Than anything in this life

Selected few will receive the blessings

Accept or Refuse is up to you

One Way

The pain of others

I take inside

Unhealthy life

Please ease my mind

Not mine to take

To live with this pain

Thinking strong

But really not

Life goes on

So should I

Never looking back

I'm heading on

I learned, I lived

I remembered, I forget

The GOOD and the BAD

That is my way of life

Darkness Beauty

On this cold weary night

I walk on this dark and lonely path

Thinking deeply on my mind

What would it be like if I could fly

To reach far beyond the sky

So close to the moon and stars

Just so beautiful and wonderful to see

With just my bare eyes I need

I wish upon a star

For me to ever feel

To experience the beauty of what

The night has to offer to me

For now in my head

I can only dream about what I yearn

Hoping that tonight I can be

At that place Of mine I hope to dream

At Starbucks

I'm just sitting here with mostly friends

But still I wonder why

I keep thinking about you

Trying so hard to distract myself

For even a little bit can my mind be at ease?

And please heart don't skip a beat

Breathing seems so hard for some reason

And I don't know why

I think I'm just missing you

Because your presence puts me at ease

Makeing me feel complete inside

I might sound silly to some

So wonderful to feel

No wonder so many seek to have

That emotion that we take for granted

But a must have for an awesome life

Possibility?

On this mellow quiet day

He lays under this tree

Thinking what life would be

If you get to know him

A single glimpse of how he looks

Cannot tell the story he wants to show

The truth speaks through the words he writes

From the passion burning from inside his heart

Will tell you a brief real story about the life he had

If you want to know please be his guest

Don't be scared on the stories your about to hear

If you don't care I guess it was never meant to be

Forever never knowing what would it be

Thinking what if, If only you have given a chance

A chance to know

A life you will never live

Perceive

Your beauty to me

Is a sight to see

And mostly for the lustful minds

Will appreciate what they see

True beauty to me

Is from the inside and out

Shallow it may seem

Your beauty doesn't mean much to me

Real beauty from the inside is a must indeed

Wicked morals, evil deeds

Judging you is not up to me

But I'm sure your aware of the path you chose to lead

It is not too late to change

To have a pleasant life

For GOD is a forgiving and Loving GOD

There is a everlasting place for you and for me

Feeling

Hey girl

Let me say this

Every single day

You make me feel to miss you

Even though I talk to you

Like everyday

You brighten a dark and gloomy day of mine

Help put passion on the things I do

Listen and put up with me

For now I am here making this poem

So have a wonderful and awesome day
