27 of 30: My Only Prayer

November 29, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
Every night I religiously asked for you to be kept from all harm. And if by chance you have found someone new, I also prayed that deep inside, a part of you will think of me, too. Days that we shared, the love I gave may you always remember that I loved only you. And if that new found love begins to falter,...

November 26, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
Beneath the stars we lay side by side We weren't alone But you secretly held my hand I've to let go a couple of times However you'd just keep on Reaching for it Until you ended up Running your hands on my thighs I shot you a look of warning Which you only smiled to You never yielded even if I tell you...

November 24, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
In your eyes, I've danced for a while Let you see what and who I truly am I let all my guards down Thinking that it isn't such a crime I devoted all of my time Yet, I have made you fear of yourself I must have hurt your pride Made you fear of life So now, you let another Dance before your...

November 23, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
What makes it so painful is that You think you've done me a favor When you said goodbye.  What makes it so painful is that You think you've done me a favor When you said goodbye.  ...

20 of 30: Run

November 22, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
Slowly, I struggled to find my phase While I tried to focus on the road And make up my goal once and for all I shall run to stop and clear my head Of all the memories, of the features of your face I shall run and soon, I will do it fast Hoping as I do, I'll leave behind Everything I miss...

19 of 30: Love and Art

November 21, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
I've always sang of love and written about it long before I felt it. Romanticism is something that is as complex as its substance. To love, is something that can never be explained by all senses. Not even by words, nor melody can describe its eternal complexities. Yet here we all are, writing and singing of undying love, professing it Whilst we ourselves...

18 of 30: Shadows

November 20, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
You follow me everywhere as if you've nothing else to do. Light as you seem, you're a burden to me. Though, perhaps it isn't you that I find burdensome. But the nostalgia you always bring when you're around. And though you're but a series of photograph of happy days, Your face haunts me like a ghost and I see you everywhere I go....

November 19, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
It's hard to imagine How we have come to this How once was the one I admire Now I seem to deplore You stood there and spoke Naively Thinking it's okay To still cling to me I'd rather have you say That you no longer Feel the same Than sit here and listen As you speak All the while you watch me bleed...

Have you ever heard of the tale of how the wolf loved the moon? Look outside, up in the sky and you'll hear him howl soon. He goes out every night hoping to see her For as long as he can remember And when the moon comes shining bright That one time in a month He howls for a love That he can...

11 of 30: SMS

November 13, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
I check our old messages every once in a while and it took me a minute to realize that it has been a while. It's such a shame that we have allowed time to pass us by without even saying goodbye. This should have been such a relief and I should be glad but our silence and pride only brought more tears in...

10 of 30: Losing Grip

November 12, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
When I ask if you can, you'll tell me you can't and when your turn comes to ask me, I decline. We're hardly ever on the same page anymore, we hardly laugh at the little things and most of all, we can no longer appreciate anything. You have ties and so do I  and though I try to make time, sometimes I feel...

Cold November wind Brushed against my skin As we all stood behind While two people's love Were being bind And when they have been declared As man and wife My way, I saw you glanced I looked back and smiled As we moved on to the rest of the night The bride threw her bouquet The groom threw his garter away I caught...

07 of 30: Sunrise By Her Side

November 09, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
Her skin gleamed under the soft rays of the sun. She smelled of the ocean and tasted like it, too. You watched as she lay sleeping beside you, tracing the outline of her face but never touching her, at least, you tried your best not to. Though the night before, you held her in your arms. Kissed her like she's yours, touched her...

06 of 30: Getaway

November 08, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
I feel locked up here Bound to the cruel ways of the city I'll break away Even just for a while I want to run away To a place unknown Somewhere down that old road Out of the cold Where the waters are As endlessly blue As the sky And where I can sink My feet into The soft grainy sand Before everything...

November 06, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
The scorching heat has gradually faded Bringing forth the chill of dusk We sat down on a bench Watching the sun as it sets And with my old guitar Slowly, You played a sweet melody And there we sat Singing in unison To a George Harrison version Of some old song We sat and sang there Staring at the sky's glory As I...

November 05, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
Though I know there is much to say           I say nothing as to not drop words that are too harrowing. Instead, I choose to leave some things unspoken           For I know silence is more tormenting. ~ Mia ...

02 of 30: Love & Circumstance

November 04, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
To love what is near is a challenge,           for though they place a canvass of beauty in front of us, we all still choose to be blinded. But what makes it difficult is not the person. Sometimes, it's the circumstance. Sometimes, the best people turns up when we're at our worse           that we fail...

01 of 30: Old Soul

November 03, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
Al Green plays on a loop As I lay in bed with my eyes closed Savoring every rhythm Feeling every beat I let my mind wander To a vast unknown To a time and place I know where I belong I am but an old soul after all Trapped inside the body And life of a 22 year old ~Mia ...

30 Days

November 02, 2014 / BY Mimi San Juan
Tonight I have challenged myself To paint pictures Through woven words To try and see How far I can go I'm no good I am aware of it But all I know is that What I'm trying to pursue Is something that I like to do It really wouldn't hurt If I try I have but 30 days To figure out How it...
