The Path

The Path

As I open my eyes,
I am standing in the road
Alive and all alone
At first I feel afraid,
But I said to my self,
"Why would I be afraid?"
The sky is blue
The sun lightens the path
I see from beyond,
The great storm is coming
Before I step forward,
I look back, and pause a while,
I am in the middle road
And then I look at the sky
I pray for a while
And finally, I walk with smile,
" It's just a storm!",
I said bravely.

Paper

Paper

I wrote a letter on a paper
I send it to Ramona
I said to her," I love you."
That I admire her all this time
The she gave me a blank paper.

The Wind

The Wind

The night is silence
I am siting by the wind
Staring at the crescent moon
Suddenly the wind blows
It's colder than ice
Soon the beautiful moon gone
The rain drops, unexpectedly.

To My Fellow Graduates

To My Fellow Graduates


The time has come
And every now and then
Let us prepare our selves
For the chapter’s end
On last days of March
The rites will soon come
Let us smile for gladness
At last, we make it to the line
Did you hear the sound?
The clock starts ticking fast
Every bit of seconds, counts
So I advice, we must
Do everything we want
For this may happens once
Let us be with our friends
Reminisce our past
Let’s say thank you to our teachers
For they gave us knowledge
And reconcile with our enemies
For without it, everything is incomplete
Let’s make unforgettable memories
Something we will treasure for lifetime
Let the tears flow not for sadness
For this is not goodbye forever
Let it flow for a thousand joy
In the future, we’ll see each other again
My fellow student, on this day
Let us stand with courage
Raise our hands to the sky,
The future is ours!

To My Best Friend

To My Best Friend


i just want to say, ' goodbye.'
i hope you will understand me
i already accept it,
one day my spirit will die
but my body will remain
when that time comes, my friend
i can no longer remember you
forgive me if i can't remember you
remind me of who i am
remind me of our past

i feel sad that it happened to me
but let's face it, it's my fate
just for now, thanks for everything
for being my best friend
for making my life meaningful
for making my life memorable
for caring for me all these time
i love you my friend
i am glad to be your friend

goodbye my friend, goodbye
please forgive me if i cant remember you
smile.

your bestfriend.

To Fall in Love

To Fall in Love


I

…And a man who always come
On a hill top every near sunset
Stood and shout to the sky,
“My Lord, let me now fall in love!
Give me the right woman,
A very beautiful woman,
A woman with a golden heart,
And forever would be mine.”

II

Then God’s voice
replied to the man,
“My dear son let me remind you,
Love is invisible,
It has no image,
It has no identity,
It has no personality,
It has no gender.
Love is fair
And is common to everyone
So my son,  I cannot help you
Maybe it’s not your time.
Don’t you worry my son,
Love can wait even for a long time.
Maybe it may come in an unexpected
Places and time or in an unexpected way
That’s it my son,
Stay calm and do find love.”

Time Fades By

Time Fades By


time fading wise
everyday
every hour
every minute
every second
it counts!
don't wait for everything
for life so short
don't stand by
for you'll be missing
a thousand happenings
run for your own
to win a buckets of gold
sacrifice if you must
and by the day's end
the pot of success
is at your own hands
time fades so fast
my dear it's up to you.

The Wining

The Silent Dawn

The Silent Dawn


Before the dawn begins
My mind told me
To claim the hill near my house
So I went up a hill
It feels like heaven
I feel the saliency around
I forget all my problems
I now realize myself,
In life I am alone
All these years I stay away
To people that cares for me
To people who wants to love me
All I do is to ruin their lives
And destroying my life to nothing
O, how bad am I?
Now I seen the sun rise
I promise starting today
My life will begins
And it will be new
Everything will change
That's a promise

The Omen

The Omen


when the rain falls down
the dawn will change
the blood will splay
every heart will deface.

in every scream
one life will be treatened
in every rain drop
one soul will vanish.

be careful
the danger is everywhere
light and darkness will collide
this is not a dream.

this is the omen
the dead will rise tomorrow
they will eat us alive
be careful!

The New Dawn

The New Dawn


It is morning, still I can’t believe
The past is finally over
Today another dawn begins…

Everything will be new in me
I have to accept this, this is life
Life has many changes

I know at first it is hard
But sooner if I meet somebody
Everything will be easy.

I must smile even though I am sad
I must forget the past even though I can’t
I must be strong even though I am weak

I must believe that this feeling is tentative
And if I believe sooner everything will be ok
Sooner it will another memory.

The Lucky Sunshine

The Lucky Sunshine


One morning I woke up early,
It is five thirty in the morning
I went outside to feel the morning breeze
Then suddenly I seen the sun rise

It feels different… it’s something
I can’t understand and mind says to me
That I am lucky in life
For I live another day

I can do everything because I am free
I may change everything that needs to be change
I may travel the world and famous people
Because I am lucky… lucky to see the sun shine!

The Dead Man Speaks

The Dead Man Speaks


A man who’s tired of being alone
Shout to the sky,
“In a broken land,
It’s hard to live without telling a lie
Every moment is dull
Every person is plastic
There’s no one you can trust
You’re world is your self
For many years, I live there
Until now I can’t escape it
I want to start a new
Still the past always comes back
It is always hunting me
I am tired of this fucking life,
This ruin life with many broken dreams
Lord, please help me,
Help me to get out of this shit
Save from this hell
Give me another chance
To live happily and peacefully.

The Daylight Breaks

The Daylight Breaks


I need to be
Ready before

Life I must be brave
And

I believe at moment I will win this battle!

The Brave Man's Vow

The Brave Man's Vow

Never give up!
Never give up!

I will never stop, I’ll walk hard
No one can stop me even my greatest nightmare
For all I know, the lord always guide me.

Never give up!

Even my greatest enemies
For I know all this time…

Never give up!
Never give up!

I promised myself
I will pass this greatest battle
So what ever happens

Never ever give up!

A Love at the End of the World A Love at the End of the World

A Love at the End of the World



It is 3: 00 in the afternoon here in Embarcadero
I am still waiting for her come...
I miss her so much, it's been 4 years from now since then
while I am waiting for her, i wanna tell you a story
a story of my life when I was in college

I am lonely man living in a lonely world
Until the time I board to Daraga to focus to my study
I never know my life change forever
I remember one time I am alone up the rooftop
She come there crying, she's drunk
I try to talk to her she replied
Her name is Rose, she's one of my boardmate...
One of my classmate at school
the first time i saw though it's
my heat beats fast, it telling me she's the one...
we became friends until the 4th year
never dared to her the felling inside
until the before gradation I date her
we watched romantic movie and we went to Embarcade
I tell her the truth, she was surprise
she replied, ' If you could wait 4 years then we will be.
Maybe that year, all my dreams already fullfill.'
then I replied, 'I will wait for you. After 4 years here in this place...
At 4: 00 in the afternoon, promise me you would come'
She smile then said, 'Promise.'

It's 4: 15 in the afternoon, I am still waiting for her
now I am hearing someone calling behind my back
I turn around, i see it, i was surprise...
It's her... but she's different now...
she's very, very, very much fat
oh, i hope turn back the clock right now,
but still i am gonna propose to her right
i am already 50 years old... i dont wanna get extinct.

A SUMMER'S NIGHT

A SUMMER'S NIGHT


I will never forget that summer
that summer I fall in love for the first time
it happened after my college graduation
i decided to take a vacation in a mountain
to my aunt's house where i was born.

The first time I saw her, it was in the church
she's so beautiful like an actress I admire
i never stop to glace at her every moment
my heart never stop to beat fast
after that day that i never thought

That I would see her for the second time
in the barangay where i live
in store, where i bought something
as i glance at her, she's mysterious
like Mona Lisa, so i never let her away

Ask her name, her name is Irma
I invite her to dance tonight
a dance to the barangay's fiesta
at first she refuse but i convince her
she agree then she smile at me.

In the eve of the fiesta, the moon is full
I grab her hands, she follow me
i never thought she will dance with grace
as we dance she talk to me,
she no longer mysterious to me

As the dance ends, under moon's light
we went to a solitary place
I never thought this would happen
everything happens so past
we kiss then lay down in a grass

As I enter inside of her, she smile,
the great pain I feel, she stand,
the blood flows, I lose my p***s
it fall in front of me as she opens hers
she look at me and she said,

' Your an idiot, you deserve this
by the way, everything I said to you is lie
i don't live here, i live in hell! '
she laugh i saw here leave
i bathe in blood, i loose my consciousness.

As I wake up, I am in the hospital
I thought it's just a nightmare
but it's true, i have no p***s anymore
as I get better, they ask me, i lie to them
the truth is embarrassing so

It has been a years from now,
I never heard of her again
I am older, I never been married,
I will never ever forget that summer
that summer i fall with a rose with thrones!

The Awakening

The Awakening


Many times had been pass
Before I realized
Everything is not right

Too late as I am
I may no longer
Correct what I’ve done

Second chance is all I want
But don’t know how
Wishing I could turn back time

But it is impossible
I don’t know where to start
How I will find myself

Would you tell me?
Where I went wrong?
What worst have I done?

I am sorry for everything
For a thousand lies I said
For making you feel sad

For treating you so bad
I guess this is a time
For me to be brand new

Would you be patience?
Would you guide me?
Be with me to a new journey

Thank You For Inspiration

Thank You For Inspiration


The time has finally come
The judgment day is over
For months I’ve been waiting for this moment
And I am glad to know that I won!
It’s because of you that I am still here
Alive, happy and still disbelieve
My friend, thank you for inspiration
Thank you for giving me hope
For the care and support
I still don’t know what to say
But I have an idea…
Let’s go to the cinema
I’ll treat you
Let’s celebrate my victory.

Thank You

Thank You


thank you
for sharing me your love
that all I wanted

for sharing me your dreams
that inspires me
to conquer everything

for giving me hope
to fullfill my dreams
whenever I fall down

for supporting me
in times of trouble in my life
and to reach the sky

thank you,
what can I give you
in return for all these?

maybe to give you
all my life and love
with open arms and heart.

Song Of The Broken Man

Song Of The Broken Man


I am a broken man
With a broken thought
Nobody likes me
Even the world hates me
I am nothing but useless
With my whole life
For when I was a child
My life is already dead
I am sorry to those people
That I hurt
To those people
That I disturbed
When I am gone
Nobody will care
On my precious grave
You will no longer remember me
For I am an ash
Farewell my greatest enemies
For I will no longer exist
The shadows of darkness
Will guide me through hell
Farewell! Farewell!
And when I am gone
Celebrate my greatest defeat!

Remembering The Past

Remembering The Past


Now that I alone, I remember the past
I remember my friends
The days we live together
The memories we share is forever.

I am crying whenever I remember the past
For I lived with memories
Even though life wasn’t easy back then
But my friends lighten my life

Whenever I see the old house
Every time I pass there
I feel sad, I remember myself
And the incredible days I live there.

I am hoping that the past will comeback
But I know it will never happen
Only in my dreams it will come true
Only in my memories it will until I die.

Realization

at present time
one thing I've learn
in times your are fall down you will find yourself
you will find your weakness
you will know how many cares for you
and most of all you will find God.

in times your are fall down
you should never give up
you should be strong
you should have an inspiration,
it maybe your family or friends
and most of all live again,
correct the wrong thing you've done from the past
and live another memory.

Read me.

You. Just think that our world is wonderful,
Life is so beautiful.
So
Smile.

Nice

A feeling of happiness. Ok?

Sa iyong paglalakbay
Matagpuan mo nawa,
Init ng tagumpay
Kamay ng pag-asa.

Saan ka man
Liparin ng hangin,
‘Wag kaligtaang lingunin

Kung sakali mang

Huwag kaligtaan
Pamana ng guro,

Ay di matatawaran
Kaya’t huwag kaligtaan.

Hayaan mo…
Kami’y narito
Laging nakasubaybay!

My Name Is Poet

My Name Is Poet


My name is poet
I am immortal
I live not in this world
But in a world of fantasy
I am unique
Cursed to be invisible
Gifted as I am
Powerful is my words
When there' s war
I am the greatest hero
I use no gun
But only a piece of paper
Weapon is my pen
Readers are my friends
They treasure my siblings
As to reward to them
Knowledge as they gain
Poet as I am
A messenger of life
A witness of the dawn
I thank God
For creating me.

Message For My Secret Love

Message For My Secret Love


How long will I wait for you?
I miss you so much
By this night,
I am here all alone
Thinking of you,
When will we be
Seeing each other again?
You’ve been gone
For many year from now
The last time
I saw your beautiful face
That was high school graduation
I think we lost communication
For I never heard
Anything about you
How are you?
Do you still remember me?
When will we meet again
I hope that time comes
For I will never let you go
I hope destiny
Will make us together.

Longing

Longing


Many months ago, I fly away
Sorry if I never said “Goodbye”
My dear friend, do remember
Goodbye is the saddest word.

I know you hate me this time
But just think and realize
Every single thing has many reasons
Just believe and trust me.

After all we are long time friends
Remember the day we’ve promise?
I understand you misunderstand me
I won’t give up this friendship!

Whatever happened this I promise
I will always be around
Though you never speak to me
I’ll be your greatest savior.

Through fire and storm
In times of joy and sadness
Approach me if you want
Then I will try my best.

When there’s a falling star at night
I close my eyes then speak to the sky
“I hope someday we’ll be alright
And may our friendship live forever!  ”

Lailang Taba

Lailang Taba


Minsan ako’y may nakilala
Babaeng mataba, bilog ang mata
Damit niya’y bistida, walang bra
Buhok niya’y mahaba, hangang paa.

Ako ay sa kanya nagtataka
Siya ba kaya ay isang magulang
O kaya ay isang lampang dalaga
Na ang isipan ay kulang kulang.

Sana’y di ko siya nakilala
Nang ako din a lang nagtaka
O nandiri mala- ibornal na hininga
Kaya ngayon ako’y nagsusuka.

Lailang taba, pangalan daw niya
Trabaho niya ay pagkaputa
Siya raw ay baguhan, sariwa pa
Sa isipan ko di ako makapaniwala.

Into the Place

Into the Place


A man who’s traveling the road
For a thousand years, went to a place…
A place of the unknown land
He went there to rest and relax
He went there for no reason
Of staying for another years
He wants to leave as soon as he got well
For he wants to go to another place
And meet different people
But something unexpected happened
A stranger whom he met in this land
Offered him a great opportunity
To explore his land and stay there for another years
At first his mind gets confused
For he don’t know what to do
He speaks to his mind he said,
“My Lord, I know your there, help me please.”
And then he heard the voice from nowhere
“My son, follow the beat of your heart,
Soon it will lead you to what’s best for you”
And a man follows the voice, he did not leave
And so begins the adventures!

I Just Want a Friend

I Just Want a Friend


I am looking for a friend
A friend whom I would trust for
Who would understand me
For who I am today
A friend who would encourage me
To get out of this boring life
A not so perfect friend
I understand if he is tentative
I am tired of being alone
It feels so deeply sad
O, I’ll be glad
If it is something new
A challenging one to come
O, my dearest Lord
I am begging You
I’ll do everything
I will swim the deepest ocean
Please let him enter my life
I hope he’ll be come soon
I am just here waiting for him.

Hinain ng Taong Umiibig

Hinain ng Taong Umiibig


Parang kay hirap
Nitong damdamin ko para sa’yo
Kaya sana o giliw ko
Nais kong dingin mo ito.

Nang una kitang nakita
Tumibok agad ang puso ko
Pinana yata ako ni kupido
Kaya tarantang taranta ako.
Kaya nang lumapit ka
Di ko maiwasang matulala
Mabulol, maistatwa
Manlamig, nahihiya pa.

Ngayong muli tayong nagkita
Kahit di pa kita kilala
Ang nais ko’y makilala ka
At habang buhay na mahagkan.

If I only tell you the truth
that I like you much
and i want to love you
it would never happen this way
I loose you in my life
now I realize
how stupid am I
I pretended I dislike you
now i feel the pain inside
whenever I see you
holding his hands
talking to him sweetly
to you I am jealous
depress  I am
hatred to myself
why I let you with him?
I lost the special moments
the moments I am loving you
for now all I wish
is for you to be happy.

FOR YOU

FOR YOU


You, you are my best friend
In this lonely world I live
I, I don’t remember how we became friends
All I know is through all these years
We been through ups and downs
Through happiness and sadness
Trials we face but we never give up
Our friendship becomes stronger.

Now, now that I am alone, I realize
You are my strength, you are my weakness
You inspire me to live in this world
You understand me whoever I am
You catch me now that I fall down
Without you my life is nonsense
My dear best friend, thank you so much
Promise, I will always be there for you…

Drowning

Drowning


The night is fine
I am here lying outside
Staring at the sky alone
My dear, how are you?
I miss you much.

A hundred days away
Means a thousand years to me
Feels like I am in deep water
I am drowning here tonight
I can’t reach the ground.

Please help me my dear
Save me before I breakdown
I need your sweet embrace
But it is impossible
You are far a distance.

I am drowning in deep
Looks like nothing can help me
It is you that I know
The only one to rescue me
In this thwarted time.

The night is in silence
I count all the stars
But I still can’t sleep
How I wish this to vanish
Before the beautiful dawn.

Dear Dad

Dear Dad


Dear dad,
How are you today?
Is everything fine?
I’ve seen you’re tired
these past few days

Dad, I want to tell you something
It’s something in mind
That I want you to know

All these years,
You’re always there
Through good times and bad times
Guiding us,
Correcting our mistakes,
Protecting our family,
Financing all we needs

You never want us to suffer
Even to have problems
To me, there’s no one like you
You are the greatest dad
An unsung hero of my life

My dear dad
For all the good things you’ve done
I thank you much
I just wonder lately,
How can I make you happy?
How ca I make you feel alright?

I will never forget you
I want to be like you
As breadwinner of the family

Dad, before I end this,
Remember these words
I understand you,
I care for you,
And I love you.

Truly yours,
Your son.

Ang Talinhaga ng Ibon

Ang Talinhaga ng Ibon


Ang isang ibon kapag gusto mong alagaan
Ay huwag mong ikukulong sa isang hawla
Na maaring maliit o malawak, pangit sa hindi,
Malinis sa marumu o kaya ay pinaghirapan sa hindi
Pagkat maaari itong matutong manuka
Tandaan mo maghahanap at maghahanap
Ito ng butas para matakasan
Malay mo baka bukas ay hindi mo mamalayan
Ang alaga mo pala ay nakatakas na
O kaya ay sumakabilang na dahil sa lungkot
Ang payo ko lang, pakawalan mo ang ibon
Sanayin itong lumilipad sa ere nang mapaamo ito
Paminsan minsan ay alayan ng pagkain
Huwag lang masobrahan pagkat nakakasama
Sanayin mo siyang padapuin sa'yong kamay
Nang maramdaman niyang iyong kalinga
Tingnan mo mamaya at magiging maligaya ang ibon
Tiyak maging ikaw din, sobrang saya mo pa nga nyan.

A Thirst for Revenge

A Thirst for Revenge


seek not on revenge
for it can be sweeter
at your first bite
sooner it will be enough
it will taste so bitter.
revenge is not a justice
to whatever bothers you
it is also not a weapon
to end a war
to close the closing door.
revenge is so violence
it can kill everyone
let the hands of karma
to be the judge.

A Song for my Wife

A Song for my Wife


my wife, my beloved wife...
my best friend forever

yet there is nothing to celebrate,
I love you so much

every time i wake up in the morning,
i always see your beautiful eyes

when ever you sleep in my arms
i feel your love so tender,
o my wife, my beloved wife
thought our marriage is not perfect
all I wish is to grow old with you.

A Room with an Empty Door

A Room with an Empty Door


I live in a dark room
It’s room of silence
Where there’s only one window
And no single door
There are ghost live here
There are voices that keep hunting me
I am afraid each night
For I never fall asleep
They’re disturbing me
I must talk to them
But I can’t, they’re just hallucinations
They‘re killing my mind
I confess I did something wrong in the past
That becomes my nightmare
That I am paying for it
That’s why I live in this place
 O, pretty soon, I’ll be insane
I must escape from this place
I must live another life
But I don’t know how?
I need some help…

TAHIMIK ANG GABI


TAHIMIK ANG GABI



“ Mahal kita insan, mahal kita.”,
Ang sa isip ni Tonio habang pinagmamasdan
Ang pinsang si Ella na sinusundo
Habang papalapit ang motor nito sa kanya.

“Kung alam mo lang insan
Na noon pa mang bata pa tayo
Ay may pagtingin na ako sa’yo
Alam kong maling mali ang nararamdaman ko

Dahil magkadugo tayo, pero para sa’kin,
Tama ito, ewan ko ba kung bakit ganito
Hindi ko maintindihan ang sarili ko
Baliw na baliw ako sa’yo insan… baliw na baliw!

Alam mo bang gusto ko parati kitang kapiling
Mawala ka lang insan, magpapakamatay ako!
Akin ka lang insan, akin ka lang!
Magkamatayan na, di ka dapat mapasa-iba.”

“Kuya Tonio!”, kaway ni Ella kay Tonio.
Nakangiti  siya, maya-maya ay sumakay na ito
Sa pagsakay niya sa motor, nagkuwento siya
Kasunod nito ay ang pandidilim ng paningin ni Tonio.

“Kuya, bakit tayo hiuminto?”, tanong ni Ella
Sa biglaan nilang paghinto sa isang lugar
Na di kalakayuan lamang sa kanilang bahay
Isang lugar na madilim, madamo at tahimik .

Bigla nitong hinawakan ang kaliwang kamay ni Ella
Sa mga sandaling ito ay sinuklaban na siya ng takot
Pilit siyang nagpumiglas pero nabigo siya
Nalaban siya pero nadaig pa rin siya ng lalaki.

Isang makalas na suntok ang kanyang natimakman
Natumba siya sa lupa at nawalan ng malay
Pagising niya, nakahiga na siya sa damuhan,
Hubad at nakatali ang dalawang kamay at paa

Kahit na madili ay nakikita pa rin niya,
Na tinitilaan ng Kuya niya ang kanyang titi
Naiyak siya, sumigaw, humingi ng tulong, muling nalaban
“Hayup ka! Walang hiya ka!”, paulit ulit niya.

Umalis ito. Kumuha ito ng isang malaking bato
“Tumigil ka nga!”,isang malakas ng pokpok nito sa mukha
Paulit ulit niya itong pinukpok hangang sa mamatay
Pinagmasdan niya ito, basag ang mukha nito

“Bakit insan? Bakit ka iibig sa iba? Andito naman ako!
Sino ba naman yang walang kuwentang Nael na yan?
Siya na lang parati walang nang ibang topic!
Hindi. Hindi ka niya maaagaw sa akin. Hindi!”

Maraha ng ito tumingin ito pababa hangang sa titi
Binuksan nito ang ziper ng pantalon
Dumapa, inilabas ang ari at ipinasok sa titi
Nagsimila itong kumayod hangang sa labasan

Tumayo ito at isinara ang ziper ng pantalon
Muli niyang pinagmasdan ang pinsang babae
Ang isa na ngayong malamig na bangkay
Tila ba nakamalay na siya sa sandaling ito

Natulala siya pansamantala, natakot siya
Di na niya alam kung anong gagawin ngayon
Nakunsensya siya sa kanyang ginawa
Maya-maya ay nagmadali siyang umalis

Sa pag-alis niya sa lugar na iyon
Ay nanatili ang katahimikan ng gabi
Tahimik sa isang malagim na trahedya
Ng isang maling maling pagtingin ng isang lalaki.

INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY.

Janna,

I just want to thank you!
Thank you being my best friend through all these years.
For being my wife, for loving me all these time.
My love, my heart beat is right...
You are my forevermore.

Remember that first time we meet?
We were young at that time.
How could i forget it was our high school days.
It was in the school canteen
You left your book and I run after you
I never knew the woman I am looking for
Is the most beautiful woman in the campus.
The woman every man could fall in love.

So we became friends and the right time comes,
I tell you the truth, we became lovers
And the day I proposed you...remember that day?
I gave you the sweet red rose,
And I said ' My beautiful Janna, will you marry me? '
I thought I get busted then you said 'Yes.'
I am the happiest man in the world.

My dearest wife, all these years
Though our marriage is not perfect,
You make me happy, you inspire me
Your the best mother to our children
I love you so much.

Janna, as I am writing this letter,
I could not stop to cry
The doctor told me I have Alzheimer's Disease
I know soon will never remember you anymore.
Please don't be sad my love, don't cry on me

Do you remember your favorite book?
I brought for you for the last time
I put it on beneath your cabinet
When you see it, please turn to page 80
Then you'll see the sweet red rose
A rose just like I gave you the day I proposed you

My dearest wife, I love you
One day I will no longer remember you
Please my love, do not sad
Embrace the book I gave you for the last time
And do always remember the rose.

I loved you now... I will love you forever!
Farewell my love... farewell...

Nael.

TO MY BEST FRIEND


TO MY BEST FRIEND

LASING


Lasing

Parang kalian lang
Nang tayo’y maghiwalay
Dahil mageendo ka na
At endo na rin ako

O kay sakit pala
Na mawalay sayo sinta
Bakit ba nahantong pa
Sa ganito ang love story natin?

Tulad sa isang Korean movie
Na trahedya ang ending
Na ang bida ay luhaan
At ang kanta’y sobrang lungkot

O bakit ba kay lungkot
O kay lungkot lungkot talaga?
Ngayong wala ka na
Sa buhay ko, sa piling ko?

Ang bawat araw ko ngayon
Ay tila ba wala nang saysay
Ang kada Segundo ko ngayon
Ay tila walang kathrill thrill

O kay lungkot, kay lungkot talaga
Sobra na, grabe na talaga!
Parang gusto ko nang magpakamatay
Dahil wala ka, mis na mis kita!

O kay bilis naman ng panahon
Ang five months ay one week
Ang one hour ay one second
Bakit hindi na lang huminto?

Bakit ba tayo nagkaganito?
Nagibigan nang palihim
Dahil magkatrabaho tayo
Cashier ka, stock clerk ako

Natakot na mabunyag ang sekreto
Dahil noong mga panahon yun,
Ay may mga kinakatakutang tao
Natakot na magkaroon ng isyu

Sana di na lang nangyari ito
Nang hindi na ako nagkaganito
Para bang pinasan ko ang buong mundo
O sobrang lungkot nitong magisa

Paano ba kita makakalimutan?
Kung parati kang naaalala
Kahit nadelete na ang mga picture mo
Pati cellphone number mo

Paano ka ba maalis sa puso ko
Kung nakatatoo ka na ditto?
Ano bang meron ka at nagkaganito ako?
Nababaliw na ba ako?

Paano ako makakamove on
Kung sa kada pagpunta doon
Ay di maiwasang mapadaan
Minsan nga ay napapabilili pa?

Mabuti at wala kang facebook
Dahil baka magkaroon pa tayo
Ng panibagong chapter
Ay parang ayaw ko nang magayari

Dahil alam ko naman
Na hindi na magyayari pa
Dahil sa manila ka na magtatrabaho
At ako, ditto lang sa Bicol
Alam kong sa panahong ito,
Kung nasaan ka man ngayon
Ay masayang Masaya ka dyan
Pero tila ba tulad lang kita

Naiisip kong nasasaktan ka rin
Dahil sa bilis ng pangyayari
Akala kasi natin ay mauuna ka
Yun pala ay ako ang unang mageendo

Alam kong kakayanin natin ito
Hindi madali sa ngayon
Darating ang panahon
Magiging maayos din ang lahat

Kung puwede lang magsimulang muli...
Tama, magsisimula akong muli
Sa bago kong trabaho
Magbabagong buhay muli ako

Sana nga ay makalimutan na kita
Sana ay hindi na ito mangyari pa
Sana ay hindi ka na magpakita pa
Sana ay hindi na tayo magkatrabaho pa

Sana, sana lang talaga
Nang hindi na ako magkaganito pa
Maging Masaya ka na rin sana
Sa bagong kabanata ng buhay mo.

Tanong sa Bayan ko


Tanong sa Bayan ko


Bayan kong Pilipinas
Tinatanong kita
Kamusta ka na ngayon?
Sa putik na kinadapadaan mo,
Nakabangon ka na ba?
Kahit ba konti man lang?
O kaya ay dahan dahan?
Kung hindi pa, paano?
Paano ka makakabangon
Kung kayo kayo mismo ang nagtatrayduran?
Kung kayo kayo mismo ang nagkukurakutan?
Kung kayo kayo mismo ang nagsisinungalingan?
Kung kayo kayo mismo ang nagpapatayan?
Huwag kayong umasa sa nakakataas
Hindi siya ang sulusyon o sinuman
Ang nakakataas ay nariyan lang
Para tumulong, hindi para tulingan ka
Para sumuporta, hindi para suportahan ka
Para gawan ng sulusyon ang problema ng bayan
Huwag ka sanang maging problema sa bayan
Dahil ikaw... oo ikaw nga
Ikaw mismo ang maaring maging solusyon
Kaya mong maiahon sa puntik ang bayan
Kaya mong gumawa ng solusyon para umunlad
Lalo na sa ngayong maraming panahon
Sa simpleng paraan lang
Alam mo na kung ano yun
Kaya mo yan, kayang kaya mo yan
Huwag ka lang magpakatamad
O kaya ay magbobobohan!

To Ligao


To Ligao 



My home land Ligao,
Land of the lost,
Land of the hidden spring,
To you I dedicate my life
Though I am not there
I live somewhere in the world
I love you most

I will never forget you
Even in my dying days
For you have a place in my heart
Those days I lived there
Those peaceful days
I treasure as memoirs

It’s an unforgettable place
The Kawa Kawa, the bridge to heaven
Makes my life meaningful
The fog in the morning,
Especially during December
Is refreshing, I walk alone
Feels like I am in Baguio
The twin peaks, Mayon and Masaraga
The best view in Ligao
Especially the Mayon Volcano,
To you, it really is a perfect cone
The springs you have,
Some are undiscovered,
If I get lost, surely
I will never be thirsty
The rice fields that surrounds you
Feels like I will never get hungry
And the Patiribayan sa Ligao
Makes me entertain and I believe
That Ligaoeno are really talented

O Ligao, dear homeland Ligao
Wherever I am right now,
I want to tell the whole world
That I am proud to be a Ligaoeno!
