Poems 713

Tagu-taguan, maliwanag ang buwan.
Di ko alam kung nasaan ka nanaman
Bawat sulok at silid, aking pinuntahan
Umaasang ika'y aking masusumpungan.

Ikaw ba'y nagtatago o natutulog lang?
O di naman kaya'y may pinagkaabalahan.
Nakalimot, nabagot, o sadyang nais lang.
Na makipaglaro ng tagua't hanapan.

Ayain mo na 'kong maglaro ng habulan.
Mapagod, madapa; sa aki'y ayos lang.
O di naman kaya, tayo'y maglangit-lupa.
Tutal ikaw nama'y aking tinitingala.

Patintero ba'ng trip mo? Pwede rin naman.
Walang ibang kasali kundi tayo lang.
Ako yung taya na matyagang nag-aabang.
Bukod sa katawan, puso ko ang haharang.

Luksong-tinik, pitik-bulag, syato o piko.
Isama mo na lahat. Kahit anong laro.
Teks, jolens, tatsing. Wag lang sanang taguan.
Dahil ang tulad mo'y kay hirap matagpuan....

Akala ko ikaw ay akin.
Puso mo'y pwede kong angkinin.
Dahil nung taong 2018.
Nang ako ay iyong sagutin.

Sa FB lagi tayong naka log-in.
Ako sa iyoy laging nagpapapansin.
Masaya ang bawat sandali natin.
At sapat yun para akoy sipagin.

Sa ibayong dagat nais kitang dalhin.
Upang maging legal pag iibigan natin.
Araw at gabi kitang iiyutin.
Siguradong di na tayo mabibitin.

Marami kang binigay na input sa akin.
Upang pangarap ating makamtin.
Sinunod ko bawat iyong sabihin.
Dahil alam kong akoy mahal mo rin.

Pero pagkatapos ng iyong kaarawan.
Umiiyak ka't sa akin ay nakikipaghiwalay.
Di ko alam ang totoong dahilan.
Nahuli ka yata ng iyong asawang mahal.

Sinubukan kong maging matatag.
Gawing normal ang aking buhay.
Iniaalay ang aking oras sa aking kabuhayan.
Pati sa aking asawang nasa Saudi at anak na walang malay.

Akala ko sa FB mo lang ako tatalikuran.
Dahil dumaan mga araw at buwan.
Di na kita makontak sa ano mang paraan.
Numero ng Celphone mo iyong pinalitan.

Nagkamali nga ako noon.
...

Close your eyes, my sweetest babe.
Surrender to the night.
I'm here just to watch over you
So rest well and sleep tight.

I cannot sing so I'll just hum
my gentle lullabys
Don't hesitate coz I won't leave.
Go rest those weary eyes.

Don't miss me much; no time is lost.
For we will never part.
We'll meet again in your sweet dream
if I'm inside your heart.

Just think of me and no one else
before you drift away.
And we will be together 'til
the coming break of day.

If you are cold, I'll warm you up
with unmalicious hug.
If you tease me, I won't give in.
I'll stare at you then shrug.

But it don't mean I don't want you.
I just want more what's best.
And that's for you to sleep tight and
take your much needed rest.

If it's too noisy, I will gently
whisper in your ear.
Songs and poems and stories, too.
So they're all yo...

Puti, pula, asul, dilaw
Mga bit'wing natatanaw
Ulap, araw at ang b'wan
Bulalakaw na nagdaan

Mga tanawing simple lang
Ngunit nakagagaang
Ng damdaming hanap ay
Makakasabay paglakbay

Ating tingalai't masdan
Gandang tila walang hanggan
Nakabibighaning langit
Bilyong nimpa na kay rikit

Kay laki, lawig at lawak
Lahat sakop nito't hawak
Mundong wari'y isang tuldok
Sa dagat na di maarok

Sino ngang makasusukat
O kaya'y makasusulat
Ng salitang nararapat
At lirikong malalapat

Sa awiting nababagay
Na ihandog at ialay
Sa taglay na kagandahan
Ng payapang kalawakan...

Love is like a sharpened knife;
that could cut you deep and tear you apart.
Love is like the deep blue sea;
that could get you drowned when it fills your heart.

Love is like an endless night,
without a single ray of light.
You could get lost,
you won't know what's right.
For it could take away your sight.

Love is like a raging storm,;
that sweeps you away, then leave you alone.
Love can be a treasure you own;
it can be a diamond, but could turn to stone.

Love gives hope,
but could make you helpless.
It makes you smile,
but could cause you sadness.

Love is pure,
yet it can be faked.
Can make you feel better,
yet can cause great ache.

Love gives assurance,
love teaches trust.
But it can be broken and beaten by lust.

Love gives pleasure,
but also gives pain.
It can play with your mind, and leave you insane.

...

If I could give you just one gift,
I wonder what it'd be.
A giant stuffed toy? Box of sweets?
A big red rose or three?
Shall I learn to play instruments
and sing a serenade?
Or get some things and try to craft.
a gift that myself made.

If only they were possible,
if only they're not far.
I'd get a long stick and a hook
and snag you your own star.
Or maybe I'll get a sharp knife
and wait 'til it's full moon.
To carve your name on it then say
my dear will shine bright soon.

I'd also like to scour the seas
to find the nicest pearl
And fit it to a ring then give
it to the pret'iest girl.
To paint your portrait or the things
that you would surely love
A tree, the sea, the flowers too.
And the clouds up above.

I'd ask the rain to pour at times
when you'd just want to sleep
The wind to blow you lullabys
that make your slumber deep
Send b...

May I tell you of this one place
that's not too far away.
A place that everyone could go
but none's allowed to stay.
A secret world open for those
with lonely silent mind.
For those who long for their own space;
this room is yours to find.

In here you can be anyone; you can be anything.
You can be simple or be grand.
You can be queen or king.
There's only one rule to abide;
a rule that's plain and clear.
And that's to not get in the way
of other dreamers here.

Come closer to the rabbit's hole...
Oh, would you dare to try?
To close your eyes and hold your breath;
Then jump! And don't ask why.
In there you'll swim and run and roll.
Heck! You can even fly!
You can be happy or be sad.
Scream, laugh, or even cry.

Go dance around or just stand still,
pretend that you're a tree.
Eat to your young, wild heart's content
coz everything's for fr...

Listening to your music and beats of your heart, wishing everyday I could feel your warmth..

Imagining your bright face makes me soak, dreaming that you would envelope me with your smoke..

Feeling your gentleness makes me so wet, staying with me calms all my senses with no sweat..

Looking in your almond eyes that won't lie, trusting each other so that our love amplify..

Letting only the time decide our fate, but not letting go of each other feels so great!

Today,
my body shakes
with Ulysses stormlike coldness

Today,
my head spins
endlessly heavy and stressed

Today,
my heart palpitates
slashed out openly

Today,
my mind overthinks
stupid and crazy

Today,
my self drives
somebody close and intense

Today,
my soul admits
she is in love again

Today,
my weirdo decides
to stay to be happy

Being today,
Friday
the 13th of 2020...

Nang Ika'y Ibigin
Ako'y parang naduling
Sa'yo nakatuon aking atensyon
At sa sobrang linis ng intensyon

Di namalayan dumaan ang araw, linggo,
buwan at naging taon.
Pag-uwi ng bansa, ikaw ay aking tinunton
At sa di kalayuan ng ika'y masilayan
Parang ibon na natahimik sa pag siyap
At nagtungo sa hawla na walang kislap

Mata mo'y mukto at napapaiyak
At papatakbong napapasinghap
Oh, irog ko ikaw nagbago
Di tulad noon na masaya't agrisibo

Masilayan ako't makitang may pananabik
Pagbabago na aking ikinagulat
Pagtataka at pangangamba iyong sinambulat
Sabihin di kana akin
At SORRy ang huling habilin

Ako'y lumisang wasak ang pangarap
Lumakad palayo kasama ang pusong nayurak
Di lubos maisip ang sakit ng sinapit
Sa tagal na pangungulila ito ang kapalit

Magkagayun man wala akong magawa
kung hindi tanggapin na may kasamang luha
Ako'y mag-isa naman a...
