“Tame the Lion”

The fearless heart always into trouble, Bloodshed spread like a hot-spring bubble, Bottle-battle-battered always into rumble, Life and death like a brother bet in a gamble. Then you came suddenly unnoticed, You lead and charge my pride unchallenged, You set the flame back in my frozen chest You tame the Continue Reading

Run Slowly

Regrets, what ifs If it’s not meant to be, then it’s not I didn’t mean to say it No turning or looking back No more exception Past is never present No need to say something No more, nothing is right, and left Wake up in your reverie Get away from Continue Reading

A Real Dear

Words that capture and dear Seems good to the ear But something is hidden here Don’t just look at the rear   Guard your heart from what you hear Or else your eyes will be in tear I do not ask you to have fear Just don’t get it near Continue Reading

Never Cheat

What you do to others will eventually come back to you. I remember I had my first boyfriend at 18 and he was 23. I was still studying in college and he was already working. My parents were very strict so we agreed to keep a secret for a while Continue Reading

Panandalian

Panandalian Isang malalim na buntong-hininga para sa mga iniwang mag-isa. Akala mo ay siya na, pinapaasa ka lang pala. Naging dahilan ng iyong mga ngiti, ngunit ito pala ay mali. Akala mo’y seryoso na, akala mo lang pala talaga. Pinatikim ng kaunting tamis na akala mo’y papawi na sa pait Continue Reading

Rain drops on our rooftop As tears drop down her cheeks The memories drown her in sorrow Because she knows past is past   She will only live in the past As he lives in the future As they pass by each other The sweetness has already faded   What Continue Reading

“The Broken Melody”

You let me see your world through your eyes, You let me feel my presence like it was so special, You let me hear the sweet music of time, You let me learn this complicated thing called love–   Why you don’t tell me the truth and the reality? Why Continue Reading

“The Wolf and the Moon”

You’re still bright and lovely as you always seem, After a long day wait-the night falls to my eyes, Though it sad to see you cast away from the sky, I knew you would still love the howling voice of mine, I’m still glad that we shared the same light, Continue Reading

“Garden of Love”

Let’s fly together like the birds in the wild, Let’s play the kite beneath the cloudy-cotton sky, Let’s enjoy the chilling breeze surrounding us, And hear the sweetest-unison rhythm of our hearts.   Let’s stare our eyes like the twinkling stars, Let’s see our souls like the beauty of the Continue Reading

Yours

No matter how long it takes or how far you’ve come, No matter how many people came and gone Regardless of the countless times you let go Or the remarkable ways you held on, What’s yours will always end up in your hands. When the stars conspire and the galaxies Continue Reading

Bagong Kabanata

Nang ikaw ay makilala diko lubusang insahan na ikaw ay mapapalapit sa aking puso. Na habang dumadaan ang mga araw, tuwing maririnig ko ang pangalan mo ay nagsisilbing musika na napakasarap ulit-ulitin na pakinggan. Sa tuwing binabasa ko ang bawat salita na iyong binibigkas ay di mawari kung saan nanggaling Continue Reading

When to Raise that White Flag?

Katatagan bang matatawag ang pagkapit nang matagal? Katatagan bang matatawag ang matagal na pglaban? Ang totoong katatagan ay nasa pagsuko minsan. Ang totoong katatagan ay nasa pag-atras minsan, kapag alam mong mali na ang iyong ipinaglalaban. Pano ba natin masasabing hindi na dapat ipagpilitan? 1. When you are are starting Continue Reading

When God answers

When God tells you to wait, prepare your heart and train yourself to persevere while being shaped to be a better person. And if God answers you with a “no”, cling onto His promises and be brave enough to take your hands off of the things or people He asked Continue Reading

Unnoticed.

I looked at you looking at her, and I stood still. With your eyes fixed on her so lovingly, my heart sank. It’s as if you can do it all day and won’t even budge. Do you know I long for it too? Being stared at with such tenderness? But Continue Reading

In Absentia

The more we hold on further do we drift, as moon and sun are you and I. With love besought in heavens night, but time will build a silent rift. For though earth wakes and black skies shift, they work so hard but fail to try, to seek hath naught Continue Reading

Pasimpleng Tingin

Buhay nga ay sadyang mapaglaro Dahil ikaw at ako ay pinagtagpo Nagsimula sa konting asaran At sa mga birong madalas pagtawanan Nagsimulang lumalim ang nararamdaman Ng hindi ko man lang inaasahan Pero wala ka pading napapansin Kahit napapadalas ang pasimpleng tingin Pero ako’y nasaktan ng aking malaman Na ikaw ay Continue Reading

“Bituin”

Bituin kay Hirap Abutin Parang sya lang na kay Hirap sungkitin. Bituin Bituin ako’y nagpipigil, Nagpipigil na ika’y abutin dahil alam ko’y ikaw ay napakahirap sungkitin. Nais kung Abutin kita sa aking kamay, ngunit ako’y nakatayo at nagmamasid lamang sa Itaas kay hirap mo Sungkitin , Dahil higit pa sa Continue Reading

An Open Letter to the Man I will Marry

To You, You know that I have been waiting for you. Days and months, then it turns to years, but I am still hopeful that someday, the Lord will cause our paths to cross. I don’t know who you are. Maybe we have met or even chatted together. I don’t Continue Reading

Sa Dalampasigan

Parang babae’t lalaki Ang dagat at lupa Magkaibang elemento Magkaiba ang komposisyon Mahirap basahin ang isipan ng babae Kung paanong hindi kayang unawain Ang iba’t ibang bugso ng alon sa dagat May naiibang tikas naman ang lalaki Katulad ng mga bato sa lupa Na siyang pundasyon ng nagtataasang gusali Gayunpaman, Continue Reading

I want you to keep me…

I wish we could be…

It was as if the night wasn’t coming to an end. That it will always be dark, dim, and blurry.  Tonight you told me your wish, your first and last wish. We have this habit to ask each other for a wish. “What’s your wish?” we utter. But it has Continue Reading

Tama, mali na naman ako Sa pagkakataong binubuhay ko, Yung ‘gusto’ na ayaw mo. Oo maniwala ka, wag kang mag-alala Hindi ipipilit pa, iiwasan nang balikan pa Mga pagkakataong inihahayag ang nadarama. Oo, ikaw. Di ba’t hindi pa tayo handa. Sapagkat ang puso nati’y may hihinintay pa. Mali, tama nga Continue Reading

God is my Fortress

Ayoko na, last na ito. I will end this now. Ayoko nang mag minister, bukod sa hindi ako para sa ganito at higit sa lahat nakakapagod na talaga. Ayoko na mag-aral. Ayoko na mag-work. Pagod na ako umasa sa mga promises na ilang beses ng nabalewala. Ayoko na mabuhay. It’s Continue Reading

Still

It’s been three years since the day we had our first hello. It’s been three years since we say that we liked each other. It’s been three long years since the day I loved you. It’s not easy to go through those years.  All along, I am thinking of you. Continue Reading
