Boiling Waters
If this letter finds you… I dreamt of doing this with you—serving Jehovah, living for Him. I prayed and hoped against hope we could do this together. To do life together, build it brick by brick from the ground up. A life that was more than just living. A life Continue Reading
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
I’m already done chasing the kind of love that demands my full attention, time, and heart. That kind of love is exhausting and draining. I don’t want that. I want the kind of love that allows me to continue to wander, grow, and build myself. The kind of love that Continue Reading
If by any chance that the right time for us will come one of these days, I won’t mind seeing you far from the best that you could be. I will take care of you, even if you’re a mess. When you get tired of doing your hair, drawing your 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
You don’t want me. You don’t want me gone either. You’re sending off mixed signals. You’re more confused than I am. I don’t understand. I wonder what changed. We used to build dreams and a life together. You said you saw your future with me. I do, too. I can Continue Reading
One day, on your shoulders will I lay my tired eyes On your shoulders will I feel the care of a mom to her child On your shoulders will I feel the warm of security despite this raging winter In your arms will I lay my sweet gentle head while Continue Reading
What a tragedy — the look on my face as I looked my best to stand and assume that I was the one your soul longs. I’ve fought long and hard to pursue your heart and I wondered why it was a cold, hard, and locked up case. There was Continue Reading
Please know that I am tired of writing poetry for people who are just passing by. I spent enough nights drowning myself from the heartbreaks I always romanticize with my words. I broke my heart enough to learn that there will be wrong ones I can never let go of Continue Reading
Di ko akalaing ganito ako ka-Tanga,
Nag-tanim ako ng di kaylanman magbubunga.
We got lost from the moment I realized the feeling was true You left unaware, how I wish I could tell you Took us a decade to have the courage Revealing unspoken thoughts that made our hearts and souls ravaged Both minds fed up with these sh*tty “what if’s” What Continue Reading
I love you.How deep? I do not know.For how long? I can no longer remember.How many times did I say it to myself? I’ve already lost count.For what reason? Too many to mention I love you.To the extent that I gave my allTo the time that I change myself for youTo Continue Reading
It was the first week of the month of love when I saw you. I was terrified. I felt numb. Frozen like snow. I was blankly staring at you. I don’t know why. I don’t know how. She was just beating, again. Like a child who is very excited to Continue Reading
Hinanap, natagpuan.Nagkakilala, nagkapalagayan.Masaya sa una. Sa una lang pala.Bakit unti-unting naglaho ang nakasanayan na?Bakit palagi na lang nauudlot ang nasimulan na?Bakit pinili nilang mawala ngunit biglang bumabalik?Bakit sa huli na nila napagtanto kung kailan may nasaktan na?Bakit hindi maipagpatuloy ang nasimulan?Bakit naging duwag ang sa una’y matapang? Hindi na kita Continue Reading
How can it be?
I am genuinely loved.
Naalala mo pa paano tayo’y nagsimula, Isa sa mga ala-alang sobrang saya Mula sa linyahan kong parang gusto ko ng kape Bakit nga ba? Para laging makapeling ka Ilang segundong hindi ka nakasagot, Ako naman sa kilig ay napabaluktot Gabi gabi naguusap hanggang madaling araw, Ang saya sa puso na Continue Reading
“May darating, may aalis,” ika ng karamihan. Pero ang naisip ko lang, hindi mo gagawin ang lumisan. Sabay tayong tumaya sa hinaharap na walang kasiguraduhan. Kaya naman, tungo sa landas na sabay nating pinangarap, araw-araw kong hinakbang ang aking mga paa. Marami mang boses na pilit akong hinadlangan ay hindi Continue Reading
I can’t barely fight this internal hurricanes inside of me; Trying to sleep to forget all the regrets and cruelty. But no matter what I do I’m still blinded with intoxication, Of being stuck with this foolish imagination. Ironic isn’t it? I’m broken and yet I don’t bleed. What you Continue Reading
Salamat sa mga alaala. Salamat sa mga panahon na ninais mo akong makita. Salamat sa mga pag uusap na makabuluhan. Salamat sa mga oras na iyong ipinahiram. Salamat sa pakikinig. Salamat din at ako ay iyong napakilig. Salamat at ang lahat na ito ay natapos din. Salamat at ang lahat Continue Reading
I cannot tell her about it, all I can do is to look into her eyes A voice is shouting from within me, but letting her know is unwise I can show her a friendly smile, Continue Reading
Hi! you are one of the good people I know,your attitude of maturity was one of my favorites,you are kind and brilliant and I loved it.I always affirm you for your excellent skill. I forgot to tell you that your hair suits your facewhen it was neatly brushed down.I like Continue Reading
Thank you for showing around and unending teases that made my day
Thank you for remembering things about me that I almost forget
Thank you for telling me how you thought of me when it rains
Thank you for making my heart sway in glee
Look at the stars above, look how they shine for you.Look at the stars, look how they make you feel blue.As I look at them above, my mind thinks of you.Wondering, are you looking at the same star too? Day and Night. Night and day.It’s evening here. It’s morning there.I Continue Reading
I sat there that night, My phone was ringing, It was you who were calling. You were waiting for an answer, But i only remember the defeaning sound of the ring. I wanted to pick up when it rang twice, It kept on ringing, like it was begging. I wanted to pick up and tell Continue Reading
Hey!Are you still there?Do you still mind coming back,Or is it that you no longer care? Do you still hear me,From the distance between us?Is there any other chanceI might hold in an instance? Letting go is the thingI should chose to doBut ’til now I’m singingThe lyrics of me Continue Reading
Andito nanaman ako sa mundo sa mundong di alam ang dulo isip ay sobrang lito tunay na nakakahilo huminga ka ng malalim baka sakali ay makakubli sa lilim lumalaban ng mataitim kahit mag sang natayo ng palihim wag papalamon sa lakas ng alon kayanin sumabay at wag tatalon makakaya mo Continue Reading
Mahal? Nais ko sanang malaman mo Kung ano ang tinitibok ng puso Mula sa damdaming bigla na lamang bumugso Di ko alam kong paano Sasabihin ko sayo Kung gaano kita kagusto Babanggitin ko na sayo Ang mga salitang sayo ko lang binuo Sabihin mo sakin Ang mga ayaw mo Sabihin Continue Reading
This is not a fling, I am a man that goes for a ring.
