Even the star
ZT Aug 2015
Not everyone
can be a star
That shines bright
even from a far

But even a star
needs darkness
For its light
to shine brightest
We need to appreciate the things and the people that supports us. Thank them now.Just like the star and the darkness even your enemies and those people who have hurt you can make you a better person. A person you are now. The person you are now.

The Flower and the Gardener
ZT Aug 2015
Flower,
oh so pretty
bright and colorful, indeed pretty
plus a bonus
exudes freshness and fragrance

Gardener
that looks so shabby
clothes are worn, hands are *****
with a callus
excretes sweat and is smelly

But to know this
you must
the flower might be
a pretty sight to see
but the gardener
was the one
that took care of it, heartily
Not every one can be a star, but it doesn't mean they cannot be appreciated. Everyone needs a Supporter. And you should thank them.

When you cant even say it.

When you dont have the energy to even say you had enough.
Then definetly
I can say
And people can tell
That you
*Had enough.
For those asking on how can u tell u had enough, this is what i can say.

Darkness
Can never swallow light
But it can swallow
Your heart...

So keep your passion
Burning
coz darkness is just at the corner
Lurking
  Waiting
For the right prey it will be
Hunting.
Yah. Watever. If you have a dream then u are fortunate enough. Keep that passion burning towards achieving that dream. Dont let the darkness swallow it.

Happiness in small dozes
ZT Aug 2015
There are times when we dont ask for the best
We just want a bit of happiness

When a dozen of flowers and a bunch of cards aint enough
But those three words is more than enough

When dining in high class retaurants isn't romantic
But eating street foods with you is so sweet

When you do every thing I ask isn't lovely
But smiling at me melts my heart

I do not ask for your whole life to be mine
All I want is a piece of me to be a part of your life

And a doze of you in mine.
That is how I'll have my happiness in small dozes. <3
Those times... Yes we just have those times...
ZT Aug 2015
I smile at you
This smile is not fake
Nor even a trick
This smile is true

And its for you
But this doesn't mean I like u

In fact I dont even like u
I hate u
That is why I smile at you

For in my mind
For a mere second given
To look at your face
I've killed you ten times
In a hundred different ways combined

So this smile is for that triumpth

I smile at u not coz I like u.
There are times when we smile but a whole lot different things are playin on our mind

Lies can't **** the truth.*


But it can bury it till its existence is forgotten.
Lies are sometimes seen as truths if enough people are there to believe it. Example, in court..

Darkness cannot swallow light...*

But it can swallow your heart,
So keep the flame in your heart burning
For darkness is just lurking in the corner,
Waiting for a chance to consume you..

Living the broken dream
ZT Jul 2015
She once dreamed of a life
But never had she lived it
So came a time she gave birth to a life
and promised her baby will live it

The child lived her life
continuing her mother's broken dream
But never had she owned a single dream of her own
because the child was too busy
living that person's old broken dream
live your own life, not other's old dreams

who are they to tell us
what should we do and what not

already living their lives
and they try to take away ours
by telling us what to do?

no they can't
I won't allow it
nobody can dictate my happiness
live your life, not others broken dreams

Before our world falls apart
Do me one last favor
Kiss me and never let go
ZT Jul 2015
Yesterday’s best memories
Today’s greatest pain

How can my greatest source of happiness
Turn into the worst source of sorrow

It all changed when you’ve left

The things I once treasured the most
Turned into the things I want to forget

The memory of you still remain in my mind
Your scent still lingers I the room
And it brings forth images in my mind that I long to forget
And I cry
I hurt
My heart aches
Knowing that these memories will just remain as memories

No longer will I be able to hold your hand
No longer will I be able to kiss your lips
No longer will I be able to feel the warmth of your embrace
Because you’re gone
You’ve left

And these memories of you
Will just be a painful reminder
Of those happy days with you
That I can never have again.
change..change..change.. people change, and memories will just be memories

Someday might be too late
ZT Jul 2015
Someday I’ll be successful
Someday I’ll be a better person
Someday I’ll achieve my dreams

Tomorrow is another day
To open new doors for success
To become a better me
To be a step closer to my dreams

Tomorrow is another day for improvement
But today is a better day to do it

Why wait for tomorrow
When I can open that door now
When I can be that person now
When I can not just take a step, but a leap
Or even run towards that dream now

Not tomorrow but today
Not later but now

Because
Someday might be too late

Not everyone is given the blessing of a tomorrow
You’ll never know when your tomorrow will end

Try your hardest now
Not just for yourself but
Also for the ones you love

Say ”I love you” to them
No one is assured to have a tomorrow
Not you... and not them

So do the things you can do now
So that you will live without regrets tomorrow

Heart---->Broken
ZT Jul 2015
The me that only looked at you
The me that only thinks of you
The me that want only you
The me that loves no one but you
You’ve left

And when you left

The eyes that only looked at you
Could no longer see
The mind that could only think of you
Had gone mad
The person that wanted only you
Has no one to live for
And the heart that loved no one but you
Is broken
Bruised, crushed, shattered in pieces
It is broken

Yes, that heart is broken
But still,
How?
How can it still beat for you?
Loving and being broken but loving once more

Falling Star
ZT Jul 2015
To me you’re a star
And I am just but a gazer
Though our distance is too far
Every night I utter a prayer

Come a day where I can see
Well, actually night probably
Where you and I will be
Together happily

So I continue to watch you gleefully
Maybe there come a time you’ll fall for me
Maybe then hopefully
There will be a you and me

Even the stars fall.

But then again I realize
The things that fall from the sky are not stars
Just meteorites.
So basically you can’t be mine unless
The end of the world is coming
And real stars are falling

But until then I continue
To gaze at my star that is *you

The death of a meteorite
ZT Jul 2015
The death of a meteorite
Is the birth of a star
For a moment that it’s falling
Down the atmosphere, speed it’s gaining
For a moment to be shining
For a moment to be sparkling
In exchange for that moment
Is the meteorites’ ending
But the meteorite didn’t care
Even when it hit the ground
Crushed, broken and can no longer be repaired
For even just but a single moment
It was not a meteorite
But a star
A falling star
Yes indeed, the death of a meteorite
Is the birth of a star

Sa lahat ng natikman ko
Ikaw ang paborito ko
Ikaw ang inaabangan ko
Ang masilayan a, ako’y nasasabik
Matagal-tagal na rin akong naghihintay sayo
Sa tagal tilay na prapraning na ako
Sa takot na ikay mawala
Sa pangamba na agawin ka ng iba
Kinuha na kita
Nilayo kita mul sa iyong ina at pamilya
Huli na nang malaman kong
Tamang panahoy di pa pala
Napitas na kita
Kaya ngayong tinitikman na kita
Napakaasim pa pala
Ng paborito kong santol.

Once loved, Forever hated
ZT Jul 2015
I loved you once
But no longer it is now
For I hate you more than ever

I loved you once
Did a lot of things
Just to get your love in return

I loved you once
And gave you my heart
You accepted it
But you never gave yours in return

I loved you once
But I no longer have a heart to love
For you never gave it back
Now I am left with a mind that can only hate

I loved you once,
But I’ll hate you forever

I loved you once,
But I hate you
For not giving the love back
For not returning my heart

I loved you once,
But I’ll hate you forever
I’ll hate you more than ever
until the day when you’ll return my heart
and then on that day

I can love you once more.
The times when we love and we hate... But the line that separates love and hate is just too thin, sometimes it mixes.

The times you made me laugh
The many times we spent so happy together
And the countless times
I thought how important you were to me
But it was too late when I realized that I love you

On every moment I spent with you
The world seemed happier
No pretensions, no worries when I’m with you
‘coz in front  of you, just a simple ‘me’ is enough
You accept everything about me
No stain of judgement in your eyes
That is why you mean so much to me
But it was too late when I realized that I love you

One day I woke up
And realized that you were more than a friend
More than just important to me
But I shook that thought away thinking it was just temporary
Afraid how our friendship will change if I let those feeling take over
I chose to keep those feelings hidden, to avoid my secrets to spill,
I distanced myself from you
Hoping for the feelings to cease

But I did not see that the distance was already too far
Too far that you could not see me any longer
You forgot about me
My existence

Now you are with someone else
Another person have replaced my position
My position, my place beside you

All is lost,
Now everything is over
The times I spent laughing, happy with you is all gone
It was only then that I realized
That I love you

I LOVE YOU.
*And it’s too late to say it.
There are times when we become fools..
We love someone too much to the point that we make a fool of ourselves..
But there are times that we become real fools, because we only realize someones worth, that we love them, when they're already gone.

Ilang beses mo na akong napatawa
Maraming beses na rin tayong naging masaya
Sa piling ng isa’t isa
Di na rin mabilang  ang pagkakataon
Na naisip ko na sa aki’y mahalaga ka
Pero huli na nang malaman kong mahal pala kita

Sa bawat sandaling kapiling kita
Tila buong mundo koy napakasaya
Kasi sa harap mo, pwede ang ‘just simply me’ kung baga
Dahil tanggap mo ang buong ako,
Walang bahid ng panghuhusga
Kaya sa buhay ko talagang mahalaga ka
Pero huli na nang malaman kong mahal pala kita

Isang araw nagising nalang ako
Naisip ko
Na higit pa sa pagpapahalaga ang nararamdam ko para sayo
Pero binaliwala ko ito,
Sa pagaakalang pansamantala lang to
Sinikap kong mawala ang nararamdaman ko
Kaya naisip koy pansamantalang lumayo sayo


Pero di ko na namalayan na masyado na palang lumayo
Ang dating ikaw at ako
Tila nakalimutan mo na rin na naririto pa ako, ang tayo
Ngayon ibang tao na ang kapiling mo
May pumalit na sa posisyon ko
Na dati’y sa tabi mo

Tuluyan na ngang nawala ang mga pagkakataong
Tumamatawa ko, masaya ako sa piling mo
At saka ko pa lamang nalaman,
Na Mahal pala kita

MAHAL KITA.
*PERO HULI NA.
Minsan sa buhay nating dumarating tayo sa puntong nagiging tanga tayo..
Minsan masyado **** minahal ang tao kaya nagpakatanga kana sa pag-ibig na yon.
Pero minsan din sadyang tanga kalang talaga kasi saka mo pa lang nalaman na mahal mo siya nung huli na

The government is a tree
That bears fruit
A fruit that will be shared by the nation

Like any other tree
If the top gets infected by diseases
We need to cut it to save the tree
If its branches is manifested by diseases or insects
We need to cut it to save the tree
For the tree shall continue to live
And grow a new top, new branches
Fresher than the old, better than the old

But if the roots itself is rotten
Or its very core is eaten by worms
Then for that tree, there is no saving
We need to crop the good parts

Plant a new tree
Take good care of it
To make sure insects can no longer get to its core nor its roots
And just hope for a better tree to grow from it
And maybe that tree
That tree called the government
Will bear fruit that will make the nation prosper.
A tree like the government can only grow to be a good tree
not when its too high or as tall as the sky
not when its branches spreads throughout the land
but when it bears the best fruit that can be shared by the nation
to let the nation prosper. And for this to happen, the nation itself need to watch and take are of that tree on its growth ever since it is planted.  Both the nation and the government should grow together.

I’m lucky they say
To have found a better guy than you
To have become a better person than you
To been living a life better than yours
But I only live to see the day that you regret

That you regret the day you pushed me away
When you’ve let go of the hand that asked for you to stay
So every single night I pray
For the day to come when you shall pay

Pay for the sins you’ve committed
Pay for all the hurt you’ve given me
Pay for all the promises you’ve never kept
Pay for the broken heart that you’ve left

The broken heart that can never be repaired
Bruised, tattered, worn and impaired
Can no longer feel, give or know love
Hate is the only feeling I will ever have

So I only live to see the day that you regret
And maybe only then that I can forget
All the hate, hurt, pain and let
These burden be washed away
By the tears that you will shed on that day

I’m lucky they say
But I am only living to see the day
The day when you shall regret
and the day that I can forget.

The waves that pulls the sand into the ocean
The wind that dances with the leaves
Clouds that envelopes the sky

Angry waves crashing through the shore
The strong winds tearing through my skin like a knife
Dark clouds dropping rain that bursts like missiles

Waves that couldn't take control of itself
Lost in its anger and destruction
Plunging to the shore, pulling back
Back, further back, and back once more
Till it finally free the wrath it held
And in the land it settled
Pulling back and back and back once more
now, no longer was it taking back mere sand and stones
But trees, home and life it took
Like a fish caught in a fisherman's hook

The wind, with its crazy state of mind
Can't decide on where direction to blow
As it took time for its decision
The lunch that took minutes to cook
The project that took hours to make
The house that took months to build
The tree that took years to grow
The child that took its whole life to live
By the crazy wind, took just seconds to destroy and to end


The clouds that wont cease from crying
Pouring it all on the earth
Dropping every bit of rain it could
Till the sight of land was no more
Washing everything away
Drowning everything down

The waves, The Wind, The Clouds
they continued their reign
Destruction, Destruction and nothing but destruction

Until like a single ray of hope
that shone through a dark and miserable place
the sun rose and shone a light
hotter than ever
brighter than ever
Stronger than ever

and..

and..

BOOOOMMM!!!!

Yah, the sun just exploded...
And it's another day for the end of the world

In Paradise
ZT Jul 2015
Breathe the scent of sin
Inhale everything, leave nothing behind
As it goes deep in
to your throat, your body gives a faint warning
a slight choke it seems
Still it continues to sail down to the deepest of your body
it wanders around
and mingles with every bit of your cell
As your blood rushes through
mixing, intertwined with those sins
Your body becomes suddenly paralyzed
and soon you'll wake up in paradise

I am a wannabe poet
I want to make beautiful pieces
I want to write about a lot of things
But I am stuck in the topic called “LOVE”

I am a wannabe writer
I want to tell wonderful stories
I want to write about a lot of possibilities
But I am stuck in the topic called “LOVE”

I am a student
I want to have good grades in my studies
I want to be able to study diligently
But I am stuck in the topic called “LOVE”

Words that give an impact
Stories that matters
Lessons that are important
I want to write them
I want to tell them
I want to study them
But I can’t because
I am stuck in this topic called “LOVE”

When I write
I try to write about a lot of stuffs
To write something beautiful
But I tend to write about love

When I make stories
I want to make complicated and exciting topics
To write something that grabs your attention
But I tend to make love stories

When I study
I want to study diligently
I want the lessons to sink into my mind
It does sink, but it gets drowned by the thoughts of love


I wonder why, I am stuck in the topic called “LOVE”
I wonder what great force does love hold
A force greater than gravity it has
For not even gravity can hold my thoughts down to reality
Love always makes my thoughts fly away
Love can even drive others to insanity

Today I wanted to write something
Probably just anything
Anything that pops into mind
Of course it’ll be love, ‘coz lately it’s the only thing on my mind

I wanted to write something beautiful
I wanted to make stories that is wonderful
I wanted to study diligently
I wanted to write words that has an impact
I wanted to make stories that matter,
Complicated, exciting and attention grabbing
I wanted to study the things that are important

So now I am stuck in the topic called “LOVE”
I am stuck writing about this topic called “LOVE”
Because I realized,
LOVE is
Beautiful,
Wonderful,
Can make you diligent
Love can hit you with a great impact
Then love will be everything that matters
And love might get complicated, but then it will be exciting and attention grabbing
But most of all,
In our life, the presence, the existence, the concept, the topic of LOVE
Is important

Maybe, these reasons are the reasons why
I am stuck in the topic called “LOVE”
Have you ever tried to do something else and go back to the thing you did before? Well for me, several times I find myself trying to write about other things but ending in writing about love. Hope for love, sweet love, pain in love, longing for love, love that has left. well, basically everything about love. So I wrote this poem entitled stuck in the topic called love.

Past, Present, Future
ZT Jun 2015
Change is inevitable
They say
But this is questionable
I dare say

Past, present, future
had, is, might
a certain change of words
yes you will see

In past there exists an -ed
Add this and it'll be history

The present presents us with -ing
Add this and it'll be a present thing

To the future that is a mystery
You need to add a certain uncertainty
Might, Could, Would it can be

But change is not for me
The past, the present, the future
Is just but mere words for me
I have something that'll never change for sure

Now I will tell you
I have not loved
I do not love
I will not love
Anyone but you
And this was
this is
this will
Always be true

I have loved you
I love you
and I won't let a concept of mystery change that
for the future is just a change in time
And my love for you is already defined
My love is not a function of time
So it will never changed by times
So my love will always be for you

past, present, future participle might change
but still it will always be you
I tell you that's true

I told you
I am telling you
I will tell you
I love you

Ang Moment (TAGALOG)
ZT Jun 2015
walang FOREVER
At kung ano-ano pang pag-eemote mo jan
#forevermore
At kung ano-ano pang ka cheezyhan niyo jan

Basta ako,
Hindi ko kailangan ng forever para maging masaya
Ang kailangan ko ay isang moment
Ang “moment”

Ang kasalukuyan.
Ika nga living in the moment.
Wala na akong **** sa future at sa forever.
Ang mahalaga e ang ngayon.
Today that is a gift, which we call a present.
The present
Ang present na present ang “ikaw at ako”.
Ang moment na masaya ako sa piling mo.

Ang forever wala yan,
Talo yan ng moment
Kasi ang forever,
nakadepende lang yan sa kung paano mo pahalagahan ang ngayon
Kung papaano mo trinetreasure ang binigay sa’yo na present
Aanhin mo ang forever kung wala na ang moment?

Kasi masyado kang nagplano at nagplano para sa future
Masyado **** inenvest ang time mo para sa future

Nagplano at nagplano ka nga para sa forever nyo
Naka invest kanga para sa forever nyo
Pero
Nakalimutan **** gawin at ipatupad ang plano
Hindi ka na nakapaginvest sa ngayon, sa present, sa moment

Hayan tuloy may forever ka nga, pero forever na wala na siya
Kasi napabayaan mo na siya, kaya pumunta siya sa iba
Kasi ang kailangan din niya ay hindi ang forever
Kundi ang moment na hindi  mo naibigay dahil sa forever

Kaya ako, solve na ako sa moment
Ang time ko dito naka invest
Ang pag-ibig kasi wala yan sa future
My love is here, in the present
Naginvest na ako sa moment natin
At kung aalagaan lang natin ng mabuti ang moment
Balang araw ang moment ay magiging forever
wag sana tayong masyadog mahumaling sa concept ng forever, alalahanin natin na mas importante ang ngayon.

Dream
ZT Jun 2015
Dream. Take me away
Far. To a place where I could stay.
Stay in paradise
I don’t care if it’ll be all lies

I dream when it’s morning
Even if the sun is already rising
A dream that is too pleasing
Is preventing me from waking

I still dream at noon
I won’t be waking up anytime soon
I think I’ll wait till the reign of the moon
Waking up, I don’t know how soon

The day is already ending
The curtain is already drawing
The sun is already preparing
To rest and to be setting

And then comes the night
When there exists a great absence of light
Me waking up is still out of sight
Because still, I dream at night

The dawn is coming
But still I am dreaming
The sun will again soon be rising
Still I continue on dreaming

This day marks a year of me dreaming
A year that I have stopped from waking
Well, it’s not that I don’t want to wake up
But in this bed and in this dream I am stuck

I was dreaming,
I am dreaming,
I will be dreaming
Till I wake up from this dream called coma.

Up HIGH, Down LOW
ZT Jun 2015
If you have wings then you should fly
At first it's hard but you need to try
Try harder till you reach the sky
Then you will see the view from up high

Feel the wind against your face
With the birds you will race
Race to the furthest of the world then you'll realize
The world you have lived before now looks so small in size

Then you begin to wonder
And you start to ponder
Of the reasons why
You wanted to reach the sky

At first you were enjoying
But now you feel a certain kind of longing
You're longing to touch something
Coz aside from clouds, in the sky there is nothing

Now you will know
Back to the ground you'll need to go
Up high to down low
To the ground you will go

At the ground you touch the things you missed
But then later you are ******
Down low everything's so tight
So again back to the sky you'll then take flight

Don’t you dare!
ZT Jun 2015
Don’t you dare try to betray
A woman that chose to stay
To love you till the end
To your wounds she promised to mend

Don’t you dare try to leave
A woman who live
Lives just for you
For you, anything she can do

Don’t you dare try to hide
From a woman that lied
And said she will be okay
As long as beside her you’ll stay

But you did
Betrayed her and left
You even hid
Yourself

now

Don’t you dare try to find
A woman you’ve left behind
To find her, you cannot
‘Coz here in this world, she is not

Don’t you dare regret
The things you have let
Let unfold because of your choices
'Coz you gave in to your vices

Don’t you dare forget
The sufferings she had met
The burden she carried alone
Your sins to her that you can never atone

The Regulars (ToG)
ZT Jun 2015
Outside the tower
In fear people cower

Outside that they call the slums
Where people were nothing but bums

Till one day you are called inside
they say the tower you must climb

you are chosen they say
there is a role you will need to portray
you need to conquer
this 300+ floored tower

And at the top they promise
A land full of promise
A wish will be granted
You'll have anything you wanted

You then build dreams as high as the tower
Only to find disappointment
outside they call you chosen
inside they call you a regular

Along with people that were also "chosen"
You must climb with them
live with them
befriend them
Fight them
Betray them
**** them
Step on them to climb

those same people as you
those same people who were chosen
those same people who were called regulars
those same people that share dreams as you

you need to beat them
and carry the weight of betrayals to climb on top
will you still accept
the title of
a REGULAR?
This poem is inspired by the webtoon tower of God. I am currently in love with this webtoon so I decided to write a series of poems about it. :)

The Tower (ToG)
ZT Jun 2015
There exist a path
A path that you cannot walk
But a path where you can only climb

They call that path the Tower
Everything you can find
name it! fame, glory, wealth or power

This tower you cannot climb alone
Because at some point you'll need a stepping stone
this stepping stone is called a friend
It requires not just a simple friend
But a friend who will love you until the end

push them down
and pile them up
they're your stairs
to climb up

step on them
never look back
because if you do
regret may get you stuck
till you can climb up

and at the top
don't ever look back
because then you'll realize
everything you lack
that the life at the top
does ****
I am recently enchanted with this webtoon called tower of god so I decided to write a couple of poems inspired by it. ToG-Tower of God

the TOP
ZT Jun 2015
1 is a lonely number
2 means a loser

the principle for my journey.

the stars I wanted to reach
so I climb
higher
and higher
till the stairs had ended
but the tower continued

I want to reach the stars
I need to climb more
To make my own stairs, I needed

So I stabbed everyone beside me
The friends that gathered around me
those who shared the same dream as me
will be the foundation of my stairs

I shall sacrifice their dreams for mine
they shall be my stairs

as I step on their bodies to climb higher to the Top
gravity is pulling me harder
I get heavier

I need to sacrifice more
I need to throw away more
So without restrictions
I threw away more
and I continued
to climb

Till the last step before I reached the top
my knees begin to weaken
the air begin to lessen
I need to throw away more

so I threw away everything
and I was able to reach the top

yes, I've reached the Top
but I didn't reach the stars
the tower has ended

Yes,
I was closer to the stars than I've ever been
but I felt nothing

I realized
I've thrown I away everything
to get on top
I've even thrown my dream

In the end,
I didn't reach the stars
the ones I held dear are dead
I am getting weaker and I can't go back

Yes indeed,
1 is a lonely number
We all have goals in our life but let us not forget what truly matters, what we hold dear. Don't throw them away to get your dreams. Coz in the end, what is success if you can't truly be happy?

Addiction
ZT Jun 2015
is a living creature
a parasite
living inside us
eating us up

a glutton
never knows when to stop
it eats us up
till we're all dried up

we know it lives inside
we know it is bad

we know a way to stop it
we know a way to **** it

we simply just can't
do it

we know
but
we can't

that's why we call it
ADDICTION
Have you ever been addicted to something, and you know its bad, you know how to stop it but you just can't? Well, for me, its anime, internet and such. It eats my time and I can't do anything productive, I know I should stop, but still I can't. T.T

Tears of Heaven
ZT Jun 2015
raid drops
falling

the sky
roaring

Heaven
is crying

It's crying for the world
The world that has lost its way
humans that is bathed with sins

He is crying
tears that could wash away your sins
he is giving

Still people keep sinning
What's the point in saving
If in their evil,
there is no stopping

Still he keeps trying
He continues in crying

I pray he wont lose hope in humans
On us
until the day
he stops crying

and see Him

the Heaven.. Smiling
I am sinful. He is holy. I pray you'll never lose hope on me and the day will come I'll be able to give something back.
