Boiling Waters
Sa bawat umaga’y tila pako ang sahig,At hindi liwanag ang sa akin’y dumidilig.Dahil pasan ko’y bundok ng pangarap na matindi,At hirap na sa puso’y kumakagat at sumisidhi. Ako’y panganay, sa tungkulin nakakadena,Sa bawat yapak, ang landas ay tila likong selda.Mga pangakong kailangang tuparin,Kahit sarili’y unti-unting lupigin. Aming ama’y pumanaw nang Continue Reading
Sa likod ng ingay ng mundong magulo,Tila lumalaban sa daloy ng kapalaran ang pintig ng pusoAng dating samahan, ngayon ay anino.Mga kabarkada, nasaan na kayo? Ang bawat tawa’y tila alon sa dalampasigan,Sumasabay sa hangin, walang alinlangan.Mga kwento’t lihim na ating ibinahagi,Sa kalyeng iyon, tayo’y parang mga hari. Tambayang puspos ng Continue Reading
Pasko’y dumating, ngunit walang kislap ang tala,Halakhak ng tahanan, biglang nawala.Dati’y puno ng sigla’t saya,Ngayon, katahimikan ang siyang nagdala. Ang upuan sa mesa, wala na ang haligi,Mga labi ng hinagpis ang guhit sa gabi.Ang mga yapak mo, Papa, ang hinahanap ng mata,Ngunit tinangay na ng hangin, kasama ng alaala. Noong Continue Reading
Tatay, Daddy, Papa, Erpat, Tatang, Itay…Anumang katawagan pa yan.. sila ang tinagurian na ating haligi ng tahanan…
Sa aking ama, salamat sa walang sawang pagmamahal. Ikaw ang aking sandalan sa mga panahong hindi ko na kaya. Ikaw ang nagbibigay ng lakas sa tuwing nauupos na parang kandila.
Bumalik ako sa dating tagpuan, kung saanInamin kong gusto na kitang makilala ng tuluyan.Tahimik ang mga kuliglig ngunitPatuloy pa rin ang pagkinang ng mga tala sa langit.Malinaw pa rin ang batis, at nakatayo pa rin ang punoKung saan ko inukit ang pangalan ko, katabi ng pangalan mo.Naaalala ko na sobrang Continue Reading
Losing you felt like dying For me, it has been more than 20 times of crying Though you, in a span of a digit, has already chosen a darling What you deserve will be given by the Divine Being The One who collects tears in His bottle Noting each pain Continue Reading
Mahal nasan ka na? Nasaan na ang pagmamahal mong dati’y sa akin lang inaalay Nasaan na ang attensyon at oras mo? Bakit parang ika’y unti unti ng nagbabago. Nasaan na ang iyong mga pangako? Lahat na ba’y napako? Akala ko pag ibig mo’y totoo Un pala isa kang lalaking mapaglaro Continue Reading
Thinking about yesterday how you were with me I was wondering if that was how you really treat everybody Or is there something special on how you were with me I don’t really know what to feel Should I be happy, excited or scared I was so certain bout how Continue Reading
Lugod akong nagtitiwala Sa bawat yapak mo prinsesa Wari mo’y ulap sa iyo’y nakayakap Para sa pighati mong naranasan sa bawat pagsisikap Halik na tila’y simoy ng hangin sa bukang liwayway Sa pisngi mo’y dadampi na walang kapantay Pasakit ma’y puno sa nakaraa’t kinabukasan Ako sayo’y kailanman di lilisan Umagang Continue Reading
You came to me like a distant star Something I have yearned from afar Got dazed at that glow; lost in your galaxy Fumbled at my mind; entwined in my entirety The invisible strings I reckoned and took heartLurking on the idea of “us” would bind to startStrings that came Continue Reading
The Love I Desire I no longer desire for that worldy definition of love, Someone to hold and someone to kiss goodnight. I no longer desire for someone to admire me, To tell me things and make me feel beautiful. I no longer desire for butterflies in my stomach, Those Continue Reading
O minsang giliw ako sa ay nasa labas, kaya’t dumungaw ka sana mula sa durungawan, Mayroon lang naman akong hinahanap, ikaw ang nais kong pagtanungan, Dito ako ang huling nanggaling kaya at alam kong ikaw ang may nalalaman, Kung nasaan ba ang aking baro at saping pampaa sapagkat may nais Continue Reading
Titulo ng aking tula ay ang iyong ngalan LIGAYA Pangalan natin dalawa ang nakalathala . Sa unang tingin hindi ko lubos akalain Na ako’y sayo at ikaw magiging akin . Iniaalay ulit ang aking pagibig Isinasagawa at hindi na puro bibig . Nagsimula sa katagang ” Kamusta ka ” Hanggang Continue Reading
In shadows deep, she walks alone, A girl whose heart has turned to stone, Each step a weight upon her soul, Her past a haunting, endless toll. She dreams of giving up the fight, To let her tears flow in the night, But in her chest, a heavy load, For Continue Reading
In tender moments, don’t hold me close, If in the end, your absence grows. Don’t weave a web of care so fine, If heartache’s shadow is your design. For kind gestures, like fleeting stars, Shouldn’t mask inevitable scars. If departure waits at journey’s bend, Let’s not pretend, just comprehend. A Continue Reading
Woke up late today, with the rain singing outside my window pane. It’s official, coffee, bed, and cuddle season is here. Cold wind brings in the heavy feeling of how lonely my life is. Woong and Yeon-su make me love and laugh but also cries out of jealousy of what Continue Reading
08/18/23 | 3:01 AM Oh how I long to have to feel to experience that kind of love. A love like Wade and Ember, or Vier to Dalia, or Mikee to Alex, or any other love stories in books or movies. A love that accepts. A love that listens. Continue Reading
You’re a star right at the night sky And I’m a lonely girl from here Stretch my hand up to your direction Trust Earth’s pull call gravitation Hoping maybe somehow you’d fall Oh I often think you’re light shines just for me Yet it is an open sky, wide and Continue Reading
He is the words in my poetry My adorned scenery The melody of my songs The right in every wrong He is the subject of my arts The one who caught my heart He is the desire I whisper as I Continue Reading
I couldn’t love you in any other way. Maybe I’ll keep you in just here- In sentences arranged to pretty paragraphs In lines and verses, In stanzas that so often do not rhyme. Maybe it’s just in poems That my dream of love be closer to reality Because I can Continue Reading
O anong saya makasama ang Panginoon! Mula nang tinanggap ko siya hanggang ngayon, ‘Di Niya ako itinaksil, ‘Di Niya ako itinakwil, Binigay Niya ang kanyang buhay, Kalayaa’y aking nakamtan nang tunay, Panginoon, buhay ko’y aking iaalay sa Iyo, Para ako’y Iyong gamitin sa mundo, Imulat sila sa katotohanan, Na lahat Continue Reading
I didn’t even wish to have this feeling Thinking of you is so tiring I know you are cute, kind, and talented But can’t your memories stop flashing in my head? When I see you, I can’t blink My mind is so playful; I do not want to think Continue Reading
I would like to say sorry for lying To God and the people who are asking For whom this poem I am dedicating But it is only for you I’m saying This is from the person you can’t see what’s behind Feelings are being expressed from the inside My Continue Reading
Like a mushroom you pop up in my head So unpredictable like the likelihood of a needle passing a thread It gets my attention, the things that you do Can I notice less your existence too? I do not want to reach the next stage Future self how did Continue Reading
Para kay Ginoong Incognito, isang baso ng Taho Tatlong beses ko siyang kasama sa pagkain nito Ngayon ay plano pa rin sa loob ng kuwaderno Ang alaala kung saan niya sinabing sasamahan ako Sa aming mga mundo, pagbabago ay nagsimula na Walang katiyakan kung magkakaroon ng mga sandali pa Continue Reading
Taylor Swift’s song title that matches the age of us two When I learned that you have friends of only a few It is when I discovered that you have a sweet tooth too When you became my closest guy friend and it’s true When my mood experienced a spectrum Continue Reading
I fell for you, a poet that is yet to be a musician Who is a competitive cat person and an IU fan At times you call me at school, I hear you say “Hello!” Who always answers different from “Yes” or “No” You are a person that has Continue Reading
I won’t tell you I want to spend more time What I feel, let it be conveyed like a pantomime For you, how can I be happy knowing that in our friend’s story She has turned you into a third party which has made me angry The memory of Continue Reading
How I wish it could’ve been you and me, A simple request but just couldn’t be. So much for the dream that I would’ve behold, Not all that glitters, sadly, is gold. A wish wrongly conceived is a nightmare to be, Rushing like a boat against the raging sea. Oh, Continue Reading
18 days, 14 hours, and 15 minutes When I ask you “Masarap yung sinigang?” and you replied, “Hi! thank you for accepting 🙂 “ and so I chat you back with “Welcome…to my world.” Every 11 hours of the day, you greet me good morning.I notice the consistency… No one Continue Reading
