Amerilie Ang 1988 (Manila)



Heart impaled with a sword,
leaving pain that is never restored.
What is a mystery left unexplored?
It is life that is often ignored.
Life is a book of unwritten records;
unseen, unheard and unspoken accords.

Some days are just unfair,
but who are we to compare?
Life gives you a blank stare,
throwing you in a sea of despair.
Sigh, just looking at the empty chair,
of once filled with joy, love and care.

If God and angels are there to see,
why are there souls that can't set free?
I wish there is an answer and a key,
to the strangest perplexity.
Not a poet nor a writer, but I do guarantee,
to the Lord I pray, down on bended knees.

Amerilie Ang

Married and currently 33 years of age with two beautiful daughters living in the Philippines. I'm a stay at home mom, juggling my life between diaper changes, sending my first born to school, cooking meals and the list goes on... I write, hoping that I can win someday and just letting the inner words drip down my fingertips. I write so I can paint my voice in paper and let the readers travel without moving their feet. I hope to inspire the readers to dream brilliantly. Writing is louder than spoken words; it speaks straight from the soul, and lands where it should be- the heart. more…
