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 will love me with full… Continue reading I want to be your permanent one.

To The Right Woman For Me
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 eyebrows, maintaining a summer body,… Continue reading To The Right Woman For Me
I Like You, Maybe?
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 I feel for you before… Continue reading I Like You, Maybe?
Keeping Me At Arm’s Length
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 see myself taking care of… Continue reading Keeping Me At Arm’s Length
On Your Shoulders
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 listening to your gentle exhale… Continue reading On Your Shoulders
I already know, darling.
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 no way in, no way… Continue reading I already know, darling.
To my next one
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 because they felt too right.… Continue reading To my next one

To someone I once never had and never will be
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 if I told you I’m… Continue reading To someone I once never had and never will be
I love you, but all we had was a game.
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 the point that I’m no… Continue reading I love you, but all we had was a game.
She’s Beating Again
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 get a present. But sometimes,… Continue reading She’s Beating Again
Sa Kabila ng Bakit
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 hahanapin pang muli.Sapagkat ang hinahanap… Continue reading Sa Kabila ng Bakit
I am genuinely loved
How can it be?
I am genuinely loved.
Paano
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 laging umaapaw Ikaw ang tanging… Continue reading Paano
Hinintay Mo Akong Malunod
“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 ko ito pinakinggan. Alam ko… Continue reading Hinintay Mo Akong Malunod
Blast of Emotion
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 see is this perfect smile,… Continue reading Blast of Emotion
Salamat sa Iyo
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 ng mga ito ay alaala… Continue reading Salamat sa Iyo
Stalemate
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, as if everything is going… Continue reading Stalemate

Farewell
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
Under The Same Sky
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 wake up in the morning… Continue reading Under The Same Sky
Your night call
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 you how i felt, what… Continue reading Your night call
“My heart will always have you.”
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 and you Telling you I’m… Continue reading “My heart will always have you.”

This is not a fling, I am a man that goes for a ring.

Sa Muli Patawad
Narito ako ngayon sa harap mo, Duguan at puno ng pagkabigo Namumutla ang aking mga pisngi Sa mukha mo na puno ng pangamba at pagsisi Patawad kung pinili ko sila kaysa sayo Patawad kung nagmahal ako mas higit pa sa kaya ko Patawad kung nakalimutan ko lahat na meron tayo Patawad kung nagawa ko man… Continue reading Sa Muli Patawad
Back to MY SELF again
I get up every dayStruggling from this so-called painTrying to get me back on trackFrom all the noises inside my headthat keeps on repeating like a broken record. I’ve battled so hard and bruised myselfthose scars lived within me.Some are healed and some are unhealed.I still have wounds that hurt like fresh deep cuts. I’ve… Continue reading Back to MY SELF again
I Am A Work In Progress
I am unlovable and I am fully aware. I can be apathetic, rude, and careless. I am not the best that there is in this world. I am not who you want me to be. I am scarred. Lonely most of the time. I smile but it does not really reach my eyes. I laugh… Continue reading I Am A Work In Progress
