Of all the stars in the night sky one ignites brighter I can’t deny A love so precious, a love so true a love that comes from me to you The heavens sing when you are near In your arms I have nothing to fear You really know just what to say Talking to you… Continue reading A Warrior’s Battlecry

“PINAPANGARAP KA” Pinagkaitan ng tadhana, naging bulag sa mga natatanggap na biyaya, naging manhid, nasanay sa sakit, nakikita ang mga negatibong senaryo kahit naka-pikit. nilalamon ng kalungkutan, tingin sa sarili’y isang basahan, nagkulong, nakulong sa kadiliman, hindi makita ang sarili sa kinabukasan, ang pangarap ay kinalimutan, isinira ang durungawan, para sa oportunidad na bumangon at… Continue reading Pinapangarap Ka

Ako’y mahilig mangulangot Ayan ang madalas kong gawin kapag nababagot Minsan nga’y nakakalimot Na sa harap pa ng maraming tao naipapakita at kinakalikot-   Ang ilong kong nangangapal na dahil napuno na nito at tumigas Na kapag tinanggal mo’y animo’y ang mga balahibo ay malalagas Minsan nga’y hirap pang dukutin Kulangot na nasa kaibuturan ng… Continue reading Kulangot

Prison of trust, captive of love Anxious mind, tested faith Inflicted fear, earned anger Numb spirit, false hope Philosophy that grows Authority does it show Infection that grows within Non-preventive and so unpleasing Prickly like thorns of roses Aftershocks can break some vases Insulting and bring clouds of doubts Name the hurt it is all… Continue reading Spelling Pain

Mahirap bawiin ang mga salitang nasabi na, Lalong lalo na ang mga letrang naiguhit na ng tinta, Maari pa bang burahin ang isang akda? Paano naman ang mga taong nakabasa na? Maiaalis ko pa ba sakanilang isipan? Ang mga letrang bumuo sa aking nararamdaman? Mahirap mag desisyon kapag ikaw lang, Hindi ko naisip ang mga… Continue reading Ang huling akda

Force, sa tagalog eh puwersa Ito yung lakas na nagpapabago sa iba Kung saan ito ay pwedeng patulak o pahila Tulak palayo, o hila papunta Pwersa, na sa ibang salita eh pamimilit Parang yung ikaw at sya na iyo pang iginigiit Kahit ilang beses nang yung “kayo” sa iyo’y pinagkakait Pero pinepwersa pa rin kahit… Continue reading Force, Motion, at Energy

A sketch that began today love seems to be on its way to paint the broken pallet of your heart to mend those shattered pieces to art to teach you what it means to fall for someone willing to give it all everything that you deserve, and turn you into a masterpiece.

I was trapped by my past I was consumed by pain I was full of agony and sorrow And my heart was full of revenge. You changed me into something That was simple but amazing You, taught me how to realized my worth Not with them but with you alone. But that was before I… Continue reading Renewed

“Bago ang lahat, ikaw muna” Bago ka mag good morning sa iba. Batiin ang iyong sarili ng magandang umaga. Maging handa sa pagsubok na haharapin. Maging bukas sa biyayang paparating. Bago ka magbigay ng attention sa iba. Laging isipin kung nararapat ba. Upang hindi masayang ang nilaang oras. Hindi manghihinayang kung wala nang bukas. Bago… Continue reading Bago ang Lahat, Ikaw Muna

I don’t understand why I’m out of tune when singing I don’t get it when I’m out of rhythm when dancing. I don’t know why I can’t carry the emotions in a drama And I can’t comprehend why I call Carlo as Carla.   It’s like that I am a fish swimming in the sky… Continue reading Mislaid

Ang oras ay tumatakbo, Minsan sinasabi nila ang oras ay “dumarating” (Papaano kaya kung ang oras ay dumating na?) Yung dating bata ka ngayon tumatanda na Yung alaga mong pusa wala na Yung dati mong damit hindi na kasya Yung lugar na nakikita mo ngayon hindi na Yung oras ng taong nasa paligid mo at minamahal… Continue reading Teka! Saglit — Time first

The wisdom of the old The objectiveness of adults The passion of the youth The potential of children Their qualities unique to each Diverse in many ways Disconnected by generation Destined for greatness Disunity at our core Destruction awaits in our path If only we would start to learn to listen If only we could… Continue reading If Only We Would

Thirty shekels of silver were all that was used to betray the only begotten Son of God on that prophesied fateful day.   He stood before the people as they shouted, “Crucify Him!” Placed on Him a crown of thorns, they mockingly laughed on a whim.   Thirty shekels of silver to fulfill all the… Continue reading The Cost

Flowers? I won’t give you flowers ‘coz you are the flower… Like a sunflower that brightens up my day. Like the rose petals as soft as your skin, I say. Like the colorful tulips, so showy like your kindness. Like a jasmine, very fragrant and full of sweetness. Like the daisy, sweetheart of everyone you… Continue reading Flower Power!

Aking kaibigan, ako’y pakinggan, Aking lihim iyo nang malalaman. Ngunit iyong ipangako, walang magbabago, Pagkatapos nito, magkaibigan pa rin tayo. Hindi mo alam, ako’y may tinatago. Hindi mo alam, ikaw ay aking gusto. Hindi mo alam, natutuwa ay ako. Hindi mo alam, may paghanga sa’yo. Hindi mo alam, napapasaya mo ako. Sa simpleng pagbati, sasabihin… Continue reading Hindi Mo Alam

Anong unang pumasok sa isip mo nung nabasa mo ang salitang panahon? Ulan? Araw? Hangin? ngunit para sa mga umiibig, siguro yung tamang panahon. Panahon na nga ba? Handa ka na ba?   Ulan… Baka kailangan mo munang patilain ang ulan, dahil mukhang malakas ang bagyo sa iyong isipan. Kailangan mong masumpungan ang tunay na… Continue reading Panahon Na Nga Ba?

Wala na ang mga paru-paro sa tiyan. Naglaho sila nang hindi ko namamalayan. Kilig ay hindi na rin maramdaman. Hindi na kita kinasasabikan. Ano ba ang nangyari? Napagod na ang puso. Hindi ko na mawari. Isip ko’y gulung-gulo. Ang dating gigil na puso, Ngayo’y parang lantang halaman. Ang dating sabing sa iyo, Ngayo’y parang hindi… Continue reading WAKAS

Hindi ako takot lumaban; Hindi ako takot masaktan. Hindi ako takot sumugal; Hindi ako takot mawalan. Ako’y isang liyon, hindi tupa; Hindi ako manok, kundi Agila. Ako’y isang mandirigma, Sumusugod sa giyera. Ako ang pinakamamahal na bato; Mas matibay kaysa sa platino, Mas makinang kaysa sa ginto– Ako ang brilyanteng totoo. ‘Wag kang maghanap ng… Continue reading H’wag Kang Matakot, Mandirigma!

C You are in self trouble You once lost your engineer No one wants to manage you J Suddenly you stop hiring You lost her You try desperately to find her -only to lost her again I Your oceanic and continental eyebrows misplaced You feel the shaking within you nerves and veins A Then you… Continue reading Warriors’ Dilemma

For a time now My heart was left empty Last night you jumpstarted it With words like electricity For years now I would wonder if someone still sees me But then, wondering would be for the empty When you are there praising the beauty within me So near yet also so far Im caught off… Continue reading TO THE BOY I ONLY LOVED LAST NIGHT

Meron ba akong karapatan sayo? Bakit pa ba ako’y napaasa mo? Bakit nag-akalang kilala na kita? Ngayon ako’y lumuluha sinta..

Puso ko’y muli nanamang lumulukso,Nakagawa muli ng isang tulang may puso.Hindi ako sigurado,Pero masaya ako sa bawat segundoNa tila espesyal ako sa’yo. Pero salamat sa’yo aking nakaraan,Natuto na ko kasalukuyan.Hindi na ako basta basta papadalaSa mga ganitong pakiramdam. Nais kong alagaan at bantayan ang puso koMaging maingat sa mga desisyon at aksyonOo’t minsa’y nadadala sa’yoNgunit… Continue reading Mandirigma

What is your heart for? More than just a part of my body. More than just a pump for my blood. More than just my strongest muscle. More than just keeping me alive. It is so precious to feel hurts. So cherished to be broken. So pure to be contaminated with many things. So delicate… Continue reading What is your heart for?

One. The stars are waiting for you. The moon, the Milky Way, the Northern Lights, and even the sun waits for you every day hoping that you’d watch them up in the sky, wanting to hear you whisper your dreams aloud.

Dear self, I never imagined you going this far and it’s been years since you last begged for yourself in front of the mirror to stay alive and be strong.

Ikaw ay lumisan Nang wala man lang paalam Paglayo mo ay labis na dinaramdam Sakit at pangungulilang hangang sa kasalukuyan kimkim at dala-dala parin ng pusong naiwan     Lubos na paghihintay Ang tangi kong maiaalay Wala mang mahahawakan Na kahit ano mang kasiguraduhan Kasiguraduhang di ako masasaktan   Di ko alam kung batid mo… Continue reading Hangin
