Introduction: My first blog and why I made it
Hi, I'm Denise, at this moment of writing (2014), 19 years of age. I've been writing officially (I call it official since I became part of the school publication) since I was in 6th grade.
This is my "first" blog. First being in double quotation marks because even before this, I had done one, but I don't think it was ever really published, more like a blog only for my eyes. I don't even know what happened to it. Anyway, here in this blog I will be posting all my poems, quotations, short stories, maybe even my novelettes, anything that floats my boat. I will also include my letterings, maybe some sketches or stuff. Everything related to the pen that I can think of. :)
I started this blog, as suggested by my friends because they knew that I love to write. Well, I considered it, and thought it might be a good idea. Since I wanted to keep a close copy of all my works. I even wrote them in a small notebook that I usually bring with me, but still, having a copy on the worldwide web would be good too. I also think that it would be nice to share my works with other people. I write to express my feelings, and I think that there would be people out there who could relate to the things I write about, maybe even help them or provide some insight. I know that at the moment, most topics seem to be about love, unrequited at that, but I will endeavor to post other writings about different topics. I will work to post all my works from the past up to my present ones, and hopefully, those of you reading will find some that you could connect to. Hope you all enjoy the things in this blog. Thanks for reading! :)

From Me to Thee
Sunday, September 27, 2015
Through it All
and throughout our journey, many things have gone wrong,
yet here we are, still together, still standing strong in this fight,
because all else could go wrong, but we know our love is right.
So many have said that we won't make it through.
So many doubted us, didn't think this we could do.
But they saw what we did, we proved to everyone we could last
in this world that we are in, where things come and go so fast.
Though we argue so often, I know we'd still be together,
because you and I know that we must give up never.
So we need not always see eye to eye on everything with each other,
because though we're different, we do complement one another.
I know sometimes I say I no longer feel loved by you.
But I realized that was wrong, because love me is all you ever do.
You cared for me like no one ever had.
So I'm sorry for those times that I doubted and got mad.
So, my love, you know by now, that I easily get pissed,
and I'm really sorry for the bad qualities of which I consist.
And I'm really thankful that you do try to be patient with me,
I really do appreciate, though you may not always see.
I do hope that you and I will never forget
all our memories together, though there's more to come yet.
And I do hope also that you will always remember,
that though I am like this, I do love you for forever.

Beautiful
The star-filled sky is
more magnificent than what the eye could ever behold.
Scattered
Uneven
Disarrayed
There seems
no rhyme
nor reason
with the way it is arranged.
but there need not be.
it is
As it always had been
and always will be
Beautiful.

To Summer
Because now, all I have is
A cloudless sky.
A soundless tune.
A flightless bird.
Why'd you have to sing my swan song?
But perhaps he's right.
"You push away everyone who could possibly care for you."
Maybe this was my fault.
Maybe I dug my own grave.
Maybe I sang my own swan song.
But it's almost over.
Now it's time to begin again.
Soon the music will play.
Soon the birds will fly.
Soon the sun will shine.
Because very soon, Summer will be here again.

If I had met you...
Do you think we could have been together?
Would you have been the one with me now?
Would we have lasted this long?
If I had met you then,
Would we have noticed each other?
Would we be close friends like now?
Would I have liked you the same way as I do now?
If I had met you before her,
Would you have liked me the way you like her?
Would you have courted me the way you did to her?
Would I have been the one in your heart instead?
If I had met you before him,
Would I have fallen for you?
Would I not care about him at all?
Would I have no regrets?
A heart's contemplation
When I know full well that you don't and won't ever feel the same?
Tell me what am I to do?
When lately my every dream consists of you.
How am I supposed to feel?
When I don't know anymore what's real..
I keep saying I will cut the ties,
But even to me, they all sound like lies.
My feelings for you have been subtly growing,
All these have happened without me even knowing.
Now how to cut the plant that has blossomed into a tree?
Cut the roots, but now that seems too much for me.
Tell me why you have to act like this?
Why do you always shower me with your sweetness?
You make me long to be the one in your heart,
But I know that I could never play that part..
You do so many things that lead my feelings on.
But I know in truth, that you are just like the Sun.
Too hot to touch, too far to reach.
I'd only get burnt if I continue to beseech.
And I know I must stop this, but I have no idea how.
All I know is I'd sink deeper if I don't do it now.
So I have this request for you that I really want to ask.
Could you please help me put this love for you to finally rest in the past?..

Kingless Queen
a space
a void
empty
unoccupied
but
reserved
for you
and only for you.
Vacant it shall remain
until the day
you decide
to clear the cobwebs
to loosen the chains
to unlock the doors
and make way
for me
in your mind
in your heart
in your life.
Then
and only then
will you finally
take possession
of this throne
that is only waiting
for its king
to lay
his claim
on this crown
on this kingless queen.
Presence
Spinning me around like a top;
You keep me from careening off the palm of your hands
captivated
entrapped
imprisoned
by this situation.
by you.
I am on my toes
eager for the next exchange
I await it so fervently,
but patiently
It consumes the unfilled spaces
in my thoughts
in my heart
in my life
now there is a presence.
now there is you.
I will not assume anymore
No matter what the signs may point to
unless it is stated plainly
I must remain on the null.
In math, I could assume
I could deduce
I could infer
but not in this
not in love
not in life
Lest I concede
to suffer another broken heart
that could
would
should
be
avoided.
Hence
I
will
not
assume
anymore;
not here
not with you
not in what you say or do.
Worth the Wait
If Only I'm Just Dreaming
A lot has been weighing on my mind since that week.
The things you did, the words you said, they got me so confused.
And now I'm pondering if this was all just your ruse.
I always thought to never trust a guy who tells a girl they're beautiful
as if that's the most normal thing to do or say.
As much as it's music to the ears of women, to me they're more like warning bells sounding beware,
Because at the end of the day, it's the girl that will cry, and the guy that doesn't really care.
But because of the things you did, I just can't help but wonder.
And I keep thinking of you even when I don't intend to.
I gotta stop this now, because I know this feeling very well,
I know where this ends, but I'm still getting caught under your spell.
This situation, I don't want it, it's not supposed to be like this.
Once again, I'm in dichotomy. My heart and mind just don't seem to go the same way.
"Leave me be", says my mind, "I don't want you here."
But ever so stubborn, my heart whispers, "I will keep you near.."
Tell me that it isn't real. Tell me it's just a fantasy.
Tell me it's just a dream, and maybe, just maybe, it's okay to keep dreaming.
Because there's no danger if it's not real.
I won't really fall if it's just make-believe what I feel.
And if it's not a dream, and you're just playing around.
I'm telling you now that my heart isn't something to toy with.
Because my heart is weak, it falls faster than normally,
So I can't let my guard down, I gotta keep these walls around me.
And if the feeling's real, and you're trying to get to me.
It's gonna be hard, because I don't intend to give up at all.
I have every reason not to ever let you begin,
Even if you find every conviction, I can't let you barge in.
And as much as I enjoy such kind of attention, I gotta ask you to stop.
I don't want to misinterpret, I don't want to get my hopes up again.
Because seeing how you are, I don't even think it's likely
that a guy like you would ever go for a girl like me.
And now if it was all up to me, I'd make this all just part of a dream,
A dream that's gotten out of hand and I need to snap out of.
So now, wake me up, because I'm falling fast, and I don't want to.
No, I don't want to, especially not with you.
