My First Poem Hello everyone, I'm @Jm1616 in readcash and Jm16 in noisecash (https://noise.cash/u/Jm16) I'm a fan of poetry since I was elementary. Although I didn't share my works to other people because I saw poetry as a medium of expression. My way of expressing myself using rhymes and figure of speech. To be honest, I only write Tagalog poems or Tula. English poems are not my forte so bare with my English. This will be my first poem on this platform. I hope everyone will enjoyed it as I enjoyed writing it. Note: I don't really like to put a title for my works. I'd like to hear from you what is the appropriate title for it. Poem#1 I know this day will come too That I would like to say these words to you This includes nervousness and excitement Fear and apprehension that I might stutter That I could not pronounce the proper word I was wondering what I wanted to say If I must say And is this the right time for us To say exactly what is in my heart and mind While I am beside you in the shade of night I'm getting cold and anxious Sometimes you catch me staring at you Please don't blame me because you're so beautiful And sometimes I have a habit And whispers in front of you The true meaning of those little words That entered my heart the day we first met; I love you You are the precious young lady for me And I am your lucky one who loves you It was a night I didn’t care about the time As we gazed into the light of the fireflies Sitting in front of a hot blazing fire Exchanging words that make the two of us happy My spending this time with you As we talk about the brilliance of the stars And the expression of our views I wrapped my arms around you I thought how hard it would be to let you go Then you turned around and kissed me It was only at that moment that I really knew We both have a bond that is more than the others But I could not find the words to say No words can be uttered You made me feel that way When I looked deep into your eyes And then I held your hand I knew my thirsty heart needed that I will love and hold you until the end You have been a part of my little world And I have no plans to let you go Because your love is so important to me And the only thing I could have wished for That you are always there You are the precious young lady of my life Losing you will darken my world And tonight I have you by my side and a fire to keep us warm I will love this time Tonight with you while embracing the warmth of each other The words in my heart have the same meaning I love you my lady Tagalog Version : Tula#1 Alam kong darating din ang araw na ito Na nanaisin ko ng sambitin ang mga salitang ito sa iyo Kasama nito ang kaba at pagkasabik Takot at pangamba na baka mautal ako Na hindi ko mabigkas ang nararapat na salita Nag-iisip ako kung ano ang gusto kong sabihin Kung dapat ko bang sabihin At ito na ba ang tamang panahon natin Upang sabihin mismo kung ano ang nasa puso't isip ko Habang katabi kita sa lilim ng gabi Nanlalamig ako dahil sa kaba Minsa'y nahuhuli mo akong nakatitig sayo Huwag mo sana ako sisihin dahil gandang-ganda ako sayo At kung minsan ay may gawi ako At pasaring na kakaiba Ang totoong kahulugan ng maliliit na salitang iyon Na pumasok sa aking puso noong araw na una tayong nagkita; Mahal kita Ikaw ang mahalagang binibini para sa akin At ako ay ang iyong masuwerteng nagmamahal sayo Ito ay isang gabi na hind ko alintana ang oras Habang nakatanaw tayo sa liwanag ng mga alitaptap Nakaupo sa harap ng isang mainit na kumikislap na apoy Nagpapalitan ng salitang nagpapasaya sa ating dalawa Ang paggugol ko ng oras na ito kasama ka Habang pinag-uusapan natin ang kinang ng mga bituin At ang pagpapahayag ng ating mga pananaw Niyapos kita ng aking mga braso Naisip ko kung gaano kahirap pakawalan ka Tapos tumalikod ka at hinalikan ako Noon lamang sa sandaling iyon ay alam ko talaga May bigkis tayong dalawa na higit sa iba Ngunit hindi ko mahanap ang mga salitang sasabihin Walang salita ang kayang bigkasin Ikaw ang nagparamdam sa akin nang ganoon Nang tumingin ako ng malalim sa iyong mga mata At saka hinawakan ko ang kamay mo Alam kong kailangan iyon ng aking uhaw na puso Ay ibigin at hawakan ka ng lahat ng makakaya ko Naging bahagi ka ng aking munting mundo At wala na akong planong pakawalan ka Dahil ang pagmamahal mo ay napakahalaga sa akin At ang tanging bagay na nais ko sana Iyon ay palagi kang nandiyan Ikaw ang mahalagang binibini ng aking buhay Ang mawala ka ay ikadidilim ng mundo ko At ngayong gabi Kapiling kita sa aking tabi at isang apoy upang magpainit sa atin Mamahalin ko ang oras na ito Itong gabi na kasama ka at yakap ko Ang mga salita sa aking puso ay iisa ang kahulugan Mahal kita aking binibini Final thoughts : I don't know if it's ok if because I wrote the Tagalog version of it but I hope you will appreciate it. We all have the fear in confessing because of the chance of rejection but remember that a chance will only comes once so you better grab it. Go and try your best. If it's for you then good, but if the one you love rejects you, then it was her/his lost.
