The day was at its best with the clouds clear and blue in the sky
You've met me
It was a day at midnight, the moon wears a smile
as it glows with its splendor
I've met you
We two are of different worlds, yet magic cast its
spell on us and we become one
Alas! darkness has its power with the wicked
roaming on earth
Waving a wand with its power,
touching every heart and wanders
And its struck on you and in a moment you changed...
My heart bleeds in contempt as the wicked laughed
in vain for I am nothing but powerless
The magic was gone and the wicked had fled...
Reality sets in that , we two now had seen.
You go to your world, I go to mine both waiting in time.
With my ardent plea, our secret must kept in
the depth of the earth buried behind me.

There's a place too far to go
A friend too far to know
To conquer; how will I?
There's no way; to fail should I
Suddenly I come to wonder
For my emotion that thunders
The pain of wanting him
Caused me then and again
To wonder...
I see the light shinning in his eyes
And I follow it's gleaming shadow
Towards the place where I should go
The road is thorny and narrow
That cause me to sorrow
'Cause how will I know in the morrow
If his love for me will still be true
So I come to wonder...
If you only knew how much I love you
That the joy you may bestow to share the warmth of care
And the pleasing smile everywhere to feel the happiness,
is my soul's desire forever
I wish the world would be fair
So I would not come to wonder.
—Charmagne Manuel
Morning greets me with tears in my eye
My heart broken, and I couldn't understand why
Everything's just bland, nothing here's for me
The love I wanted was never meant to be.
There you go, holding her hands
Savouring moments with her, as love commands
She owns your heart, no doubt about it
Because of her, you vision frames a limit
All I thought, we both had that tiny sweet spark
But somehow, you gave somebody else your heart.
Foolish of me to have a feeling I couldn't deny
Now, all I have is nothing but this misty eye.
—Charmagne Manuel
Treading the usual path were taken,
Walking slowly and turning to look beside me,
Half expecting you would be there, only to
find the shadow of solitude dawning
Cold wind blowing hard on my face
Again longing for the warmth of your arms around me
Only to see the dark skies going sadly, passing
the memorized scenery
Not noticing anymore the things along the way...
Crossing the street I reach for your hand instinctively
Only to realize I'm all alone
Tears rolling down on my face,
Not bothering to wipe them away
There's no use in treading that usual path again,
Knowing you're still not there waiting for me...
—Charmagne Manuel
The day you came along
To touch this life of mine
I knew what it meant to be strong.
To hope for a star to shine.
You were always there
In the labyrinth on my mind
Thought drifted back to what we once were
Golden moments we used to share
Do you remember?
The thing I never could forget.
The joys, the pains, the laughters,
And the test when we first met.
Something very wise and rare
That's what I miss about him
Living out the whispers of my soul so bare
You... an illusion, a fiction.. a dream.
Hold on the memories this year.
For the second chapter is near
Here's Nostalgia Two
It means I miss YOU!!!!
—Charmagne Manuel
As I struggle along the roads of emotion
When the pain was in unimaginable proportion
When the bleeding was in extreme profusion
you were there at the gravity of the situation.
Out of sympathy and kindness you comforted me
The magic of your voice was enough to set me free
The charm in your being was all that I saw
It gives me a reason to let my life be.
You are the friend who understood without regret.
The one that I know I will never forget
I cherish the moment when our destinies first met
I thank heavens for it 'till I'm down on my rest.
I wish I could be the friend you needed too
Who could cheer you up when you're feeling blue
For friendship simply means me and you
And we'll be friends even when forever is through.
—Charmagne Manuel
Silent, assertive and utterly frank
yes, I am born that way
Nobody could change me now
Nor dictate me as to who I should be
God gives me my own identity
Why should I care to hide it?
I'm me and that's all that matters
I'm not a shadow of anybody.
Please try listening to my side
or else you'd never understand
I couldn't afford to mean one word
and yet say another
Don't you know it really hurts to hear you say
That I should try acting to be this way
I'm not the world's greatest actress you know
So don't try treating me as one
Friend, this is just a short note
To tell how I feel
I'm not a photocopy and never will be
Won't you try treating me as I am?
