Javan is the best poet ever! I mean, I'm not really into poetry- reading or writing- but when I read Javan's poems, I really fell in love with them. and with love. There's really no one else to fall in love with. [oooh]

Here's a link to his website, it features some of his works. I don't really know if the books are available here because we only got them through my aunt and my sister's friend abroad through e-bay. Still, there are enough poems on his site to convince you that he's the best poet ever!!! Hehe.. and here are a few favorites, make sure you visit his site.. promise you'll enjoy! :)

from 'something to someone'

I thought it funny when they asked
if I felt cheated
now that I've lost you;

for I could have lost you
only if I had owned you
the way I might own a coin.

But you are another person
traveling through life,
and I was lucky
just to have shared a part of your journey.

So how could I feel cheated
when there are so many
who have never known you at all.

***

I didn't ask for it to be over,
but then again,
I didn't ask for it to begin.

For that's the way it is with life.
As some of the most beautiful days
come completely by chance,
but even the most beautiful days
eventually have their sunset.

this is where all this javan craze started. my sister got this as a text message and she googled it and she discovered javan! this one's really nice, it's like the quote, "every song ends, is that any reason not to enjoy the music?" because you can't expect all good things to last forever. and it wouldn't really be good if they did because then they wouldn't be so good anymore. and before you start asking why it ended, you should ask first why it even began..

Watching you walk out of my life
does not make me bitter or cynical about love,
but rather makes me realize
that if I wanted so much to be with the wrong person,
how beautiful it will be
when the right one comes along.

***

I've been touched by the morning sun
that chases the night away,
and I've been touched by the gentle words
that love-struck poets say.

And I've been touched by the morning mist
everyone calls the dew,
but it all seems more beautiful
now that I've been touched by you.

this is cheesy. because it rhymes. hehe. but of all the poems that rhyme, this is the sweetest one that doesn't make me want to gag.

I don't wish to be everything to everyone,
but I would like to be something to someone.

from 'a heart full of love'

If you can just turn
And walk away
And feel there's nothing more
You need to say
And you do not feel a tearing
In your Heart

If you can so easily
Forget about me
And all the things
I tried to be
Then I guess there was really no reason
For you to stay

***

I don't think it was selfish
That I wanted to be with you
That I wanted to share your laughter
That I wanted to protect you from your fears
That I wanted to be a part of your Life

But I admit I had my needs
I needed understanding
I needed someone to hold
I needed someone to talk to

For you can only hold a pillow
For so long
And there is only so much you can say
To a dog

***

from 'meet me halfway'

We should do everything
Within reason
To save a good relationship
But if we are constantly
Trying to save it
It's probably
Not a good relationship

see! told you he's good. :)
