Cherry blossoms fall
Drifting towards my cold heart
Melting my sorrows

The winds blow gently
On my cheeks they kissed sweetly
I yearn to be free

You are a heartstopper
My heart in a cardiac arrest
Whenever you look at me

You are a breathtaker
My lungs gasping for air
Whenever you breathe near me

You are an anxiety
My attacks keep getting worse
Whenever you smile playfully

You are a disease
My body feels weaker
Whenever you touch me

You are a morning calm
My mind feels at ease
Whenever you appear before me

You are the wind
My hands can't feel or grasp
Whenever I try to catch you

You are a dream
A whispering spectre
Whenever I imagine you and me

You are a wish
Something that my heart wants badly
I hope our story becomes a reality

‘Heto na naman tayo’t nagbabangayan
Parating nagtatapat na magkabilang panig
Sinusubukang amuhin ang galit na nadarama
Pinipilit ayusin ang matagal nang nasira
Nandiyan ka na naman sa iyong sulok
Hindi mapigilang umiyak at magmukmok
Ako nama’y nandito sa kabilang dako
Pinupulot ang mga bubog na iyong binato

Ang mga sugat na matagal nang naghilom
Muli na namang binuksan ng mga sakit ng kahapon
Bakit pa ba natin binabalikan ang nakaraan?
Ang gusto ko lang naman ay ang ‘tayo’ ng kasalukuyan
Ngunit sa bawat titig na iyong binibitawan
Para bang ramdam mo pa rin ang sakit na ako ang pinagmulan?
Ano pa ba ang dapat kong gawin?
Para tuluyan mo na akong patawarin?

Isang patawad na paulit-ulit na lang sinasambit
Isang patawad na matagal na dapat pumawi ng galit
Ngunit sadyang ganon yata talaga ang tindi ng sakit
Kung kaya’t ang pagsusumamo ay dadahan-dahanin at ‘di na ipipilit
Mula sa nakalalasong relasyon ika’y aking pinalalaya
Sige na’t humayo ka, bumangon at humanap ng ikasasaya
Mahirap para sa akin na ika’y bitiwan na parang wala
Ngunit ito’y ginawa dahil kahit ganon ay mahal pa rin kita

Isang rason lang ang aking sasabihin
Isang rason na sana’y di mo limutin
Sa pagdating ng tamang oras sana ako’y maalala mo rin
At ang pag-ibig na pinanghahawakan ang maging tulay para ika’y bumalik sa akin

Why is everybody laughing?
Grinning ghoulish grins
Looking at me with piercing eyes
Like their cutting me in half

The voices are speaking again
Can you hear them?
Even when I cover my ears
They can still make them bleed

I have a problem with my mirror
Every time I look at myself
Even when I have the same clothes
Why is the face not mine?

How come whenever I try screaming
Screaming on the top of my lungs
Coughing out every cry for help
I'm still drowning in the eerie quietness?

I'm supposed to be depressed
Tears and blood pouring out my eyes
Why am I hearing my own laughter
And in the mirror, Why am I smiling wide?

I thought my insomnia was kicking in
I tried closing my eyes, rolling on the bed
only to find out that on the other side
I was already sleeping deeply.

Help me get out of here
This prison called my mind
It's playing games with me
Or am I playing games with it?

Nightmares are becoming dreams
Laughter raises the hairs on my nape
How will I make this right?
When I'm not in my right mind?

The crystal moon glowed bright that night
The sky dotted with glistening starlight
The clouds drifting with the gentle wind
The rivers flowing in a symphonic stream

The forest trees looked strong and mighty
Towering all over the the mountain skyline
Yet in the cool breeze they seem to whisper
To soothe the ailing of a broken heart

She was alone, left cold and in the dark
Her quiet sobbing rings across the abyss
It seems every thing and being hears her pleas
Everyone except those who fell deaf, except me

Her tears were bursting like a raging river
Flowing with every frustration she endured
Her heart, once filled up by love for me
Swollen and bursting with all her angst

There I was, standing frozen like a glacier
My heart beating crazy, my mind going blank
That broken heart was on my bloodied hands
That broken smile caused by my poisonous lies

She, who found me at the times of my best
She, who stayed even when I was at my worst
She, who loved me all throughout my changing whims
And yet here I am, choosing to break her heart.

My only desire was to gain some worth
Setting aside what mattered to me most
I was stupid enough to cling to the temporary
as I pushed aside what was to be for a lifetime

So here I am standing in front of you
Choking on the pride I held for so long
Digging deeply within to find the courage to say
I'm sorry, I love you, please give me another way

Banish me from your heart if that is your price
Free yourself from my memories, both good and bad
But please hear me out, hear my humbled cries
Another chance is all I ask from you, don't say goodbye

Heart beating fast, throat feeling dry,
Butterflies in my stomach, Can't tell why?
Hands feeling sweaty, thoughts filled with sighs,
Head in the clouds, as if I'm up high.

Memories flashing vividly, like old movie reels,
Feelings forgotten flowing, like an old box unsealed,
Images of your smile that used to trigger these feels,
As if I'm back to that moment when my heart was revealed.

Its been a while since I last saw your face,
Last time I heard, you've made quite a change of pace,
I still remember how those eyes made my heart race,
While I kept thinking of how to have that smile fixed in place.

A madman, I truly was back then,
When I'd think of you, I'd grab paper and pen,
Poetic were my words, but only silence when my mouth opens,
My heart filled with admiration for this simple maiden.

No words can describe how I felt,
No words, guess I can't be helped,
Yet like a burning candle, hope began to melt,
With one strike, gone were everything I held.

After all this time, I picked myself up,
It was a lost cause, guess I wasn't enough,
I changed my pace even if it felt rough,
I went and moved on, kept the pressure up.

I thought facing you right now would be okay,
Yet here I am still thinking about what to say,
Should I start with a "Hello", "Hi" or "Hey"?
I give up, should it even matter anyway?

Out of nowhere, your voice echoed within me,
Resonating within every inch of my being,
That small voice that stole my heart quickly,
Revealing all my hidden, bottled up feelings.

I thought I can replace you in my heart,
Loosing this battle, This old love restarts,
Out they go, this feeling I carried so long,
Under everything I suppressed lies my love all along.

I still love you, endless as the moon and sky,
Still holding on, hoping that someday, you'll be mine,
My only promise is to cherish you, never to make you cry,
Will you give me a chance this time, sweet love of mine?

Anxiety plagues me
I can't seem to sleep properly
My mind stays awake
Even as my eyes are closed
Heart rate is pulsing up
Breathing becomes heavy
Am I drowning in the darkness?

Please don't say good night
Please keep me from dreaming
If I can only see you in my dreams
I don't want to wake up anymore
But the reality of us being apart
Drives me so insane that
I'd rather stay awake

You are the calm of my storms
You are the breath in my lungs
You are the dreams of my heart
You are the reality that I want
You are the good in my night
You are the best of my day
You complete me

Falling
You keep me
Falling towards you
Gravity pulling me down
Closing in to you
Momentum too fast
I can’t think anymore
You’re pulling me in
I keep on
Falling

Falling
I’m falling still
Drawn to your charms
The innocence of your eyes
Lingering on my mind
Those tender lips
Warmly touching mine
Sinking in too deep
I can’t stop
Falling

Feelings
I can’t understand
What makes me stay?
Is it the passion?
The depression or desperation?
You got me cornered
Pushed to the limits
I can’t escape you
Why do I keep
Falling?

Failing
All my defenses crumbling
Why can’t I resist you?
You’ve broken all my doubts
You’ve calmed my storms
You picked up my brokenness
And made me whole
I can’t deny this anymore
For you I am
Falling

Fading
All my agony you banished
What else will you do?
You've kept me hooked
To the scent of you
Your body syncing with mine
In perfect harmony
The pleasure eats my sanity
Just let me keep on
Falling

Fallen
I am left addicted to you
What else can I do?
To please you is my vow
Your happiness is mine
Your lust sustains me
Your love brings me sanity
You are everything to me
And yet every day you still keep me
Falling

In this fast-paced race called Life
Where people come and go quickly
Searching for happiness amidst all strife
Only to be eaten alive by a harsh reality

A new chapter awaits this young lad
Seeking only to find his place in the world
Prepared to give everything he ever had
Just to have his voice heard ‘round the world

He dreams of greatness to be earned
Harsh years he endured proved to help
All the failures from which he learned
Building up that grandiose life for himself

The music he yearned to resonate in his heart
The songs about pocket of smiles one seeks
Scattered in the twists of this one complex art
This uncertainty called Life and its enigmatic tricks

Strong in resolve we all sought to secure
To leave an imprint among those that live here
This untitled song that we all need to endure
This uniqueness called Life only we can hear

He has yet to find security in this uncertainty
Be it love or contentment he still yearns for them
Hope is fleeting but the heart remains sturdy
Someday he’ll leave footprints, rule his own realm

Today the journey remains to be taken
With small steps we walk towards our destinies
With hope in our hearts our resolve strengthened
Facing the realities of Life, facing and fighting uncertainties

In this untitled life that we hope to write ourselves
How will you chronicle your own journeys?
How will we be remembered in the library shelves?
What will we leave behind, our lasting legacies?

The wild trees dance with the thundering wind
within the forest floor life blooms in all living beings
And on top of the mountain, a campfire dances
As two hearts merged into one, conveying their feelings

The Dark Clouds conquered the night sky,
still, moonlight illuminates the mountain top
yet your face outshines all, supreme in beauty
striking me resolutely, leaving me jaw-dropped

How this woman stares right through me
the reason I might never be able to know
and as her almond brown irises gaze upon me
my heart opens, dormant emotions start to show

Her hair gives off the scent of jasmine
Her body curves like a perfect porcelain vase
Her skin radiated much brighter than the fire
a goddess illuminated by glory, beauty, and grace

How soft her lips are as it touches my own
Her breath warmed my face as the night grew cooler
Her beauty seems to last for a thousand eras
The gods might envy me, for this mortal wonder

Love was igniting between the two of us
and I won’t let anyone ****** her away from me
Selfish as I may be, we stay in each other’s arms
My heart shall yearn for her each moment, perpetually

As dawn unveils what the shadows hid
I wake up with my lover within my arms
and as we smile waiting for the rising sun
we vowed this love of ours will never be harmed

When you lost your way and you don't know what to do
Stop
When you feel okay yet they don't think that you do
Stop
When you feel out of place and no one backs you up
Stop
When Life throws you off your feet and you can't stand back up
Stop

When they call you a friend yet they treat you none of it
Stop
When your fears start to unveil and no one wants to listen
Stop
When depression kicks in and you know you're gonna lose to it
Stop
When you want to pull the trigger and blow off your head
Stop

When you reach for Heaven yet they pull you back to Hell
Stop
When love is beyond reach yet you pointlessly struggle for it
Stop
When you search for salvation yet salvation cannot be seen
Stop
When the heart says yes yet the mind says no
Stop

When the sadness held within becomes unbearable
Stop
When everything you hold firm slips away from your grasp
Stop
When your childish dreams become your dreadful nightmares
Stop
When the heart succumbs to what it wants but can never have
Stop

When the heart seems dead and life seems an endless loop
Stop
When you reach for the end yet you can't go for it yet
Stop
Let this world become dead like the people within it
Don't let it Stop
This Rotten Life will eat us anyway, accept it
Don't let it Stop

Loneliness defines me
Solitude is my insanity
And in the deepest abyss
I find my place, my refuge

My youth has been lost
My heart chiseled and carved
Its pieces scattered in the winds
Hear me plead, don’t let me die

In this deep withered heart
The soul of a child lies
Yearning to break free
Be released into Paradise

Locked in a cold depression
Save me from this facade
Hiding behind a mask of contentment
Whereas I greedily yearn for atonement

Break my chains
Save my sanity
Give me Love
Bring me to Reality

Free my aching soul
Free my tired heart
Give me new strength
Don’t let me fall apart.

Hear my plea
Take me away
Hold me forever
In my arms, stay

Lying awake three hours past midnight
As my thoughts scramble in the cool wind
Nostalgic memories of love come to light
Bringing warmth to my weary heart and mind

Thoughts of you come flooding like a river
Overflowing with all the love that we shared
Young I was when you caught my attention
Young you were when I gave you my life

I still remember the warmth of your hand
And how happy it feels when it touches mine
The way you looked at me with those small eyes
Immersing me in the deep abyss of your thoughts

The very first kiss that we shared still lingers
I can still feel my heart throbbing like it did
And when you said how much you loved me
I couldn’t help it but smile as if I’m crazy

I loved you with all I have and all I gave
You loved me as passionate as you could be
I guess it was just time for us to grow apart
When all that romance made us stubborn in life

The feelings we shared stayed within me
Even when you went away they’re chained on me
And even if you now stay in the arms of another
My love for you exists, even if I freely gave you away

This weary heart is getting older each day
Not knowing if it will be able to love as it did
As much as I want to love like I’m young again
This heart only opens up to the one it loved first

If only it could go back to the way it was
A young heart that could give love so passionately
A heart that is never cold and always forgiving
Then I guess this lonely existence could be upturned

This old heart wants to love like the first time
When its innocence was whole and intentions pure
If only I could turn back the clock, go back in time
I would regain all that happiness, of that I’m sure

Amidst the night I walk into the streets,
The chilling wind howls from the bayside;
Pedestrians crowded with people going home,
Moonlit waters illuminated what the dark hide

I sat alone on the dockyard pier,
my mind wandering into the vast abyss;
as the waves come crashing to the beach,
so does my questions and their answers kiss

A wicked smile runs across my face,
as if something fun will nearly occur;
Then my thoughts drift onto the ocean,
vanishing with the waves as if they were lured

My life had been full of tears and cries,
Smiles were seldom, Laughs were really rare;
but they always say that Life is a big wheel,
Once you're down, then you're up, and God cares

As the cold wind continued to plague me,
A warm hand touches the back of my head;
I turned around only to see the woman I love,
The one companion He gave me, she I had wed

With a kiss she greeted my wrinkled cheeks,
her hair, grayed with age, danced with the wind;
even as her years passed by, she still looked fair,
the most valuable treasure in the world I could find

Our love never changed as our years went by,
the passion in our eyes glowed brighter than ever;
I was born to grow old with this woman beside me,
to be with her, and hold her in my arms, forever

We walked home together in that cold winter night,
holding each other's hands like our teenage years;
before we opened the doors I looked at her sincerely,
I thanked her for the love, and crushing all my fears

True love will endure all the years to come,
the fiery passion unchanged even for a thousand lifetimes;
because when God gave man the right to love a woman,
it transcends the boundaries of the very fabric of time

Attraction
The first fall
When eyes first meet
The lingering stares
The first heartbeats
Awkward smiles
Like shy children
Feelings unexplained
Growing deep within

Infatuation
The first moves
When feelings meet
The weight of emotions
The unbearable tension
Pulling like gravity
Hoping to get closer
Wanting to go deeper
Yet far from reach

Denial
The first tests
When doubts can’t rest
The uneasy jealousy
The unnecessary confirmations
Testing out the waters
Checking the compatibility
When in reality
Needing each other furiously

Realization
The first acceptance
When nothing can be done
The fast free-fall
The great longing
Kisses addicting
Embraces nourishing
Passionate in every step
Cherishing every stolen moment

Conclusion
The first and last surrender
When everything is given
The uncontrollable throbbing
The love bursting
Heart feeling comfortable
Mind put to ease
The memories we create
Lasts an entire lifetime

Cool winds blew from the Northeast,
My thoughts drifted into the starry night;
The howling breeze echoed in my ears,
My eyes wandered towards the city lights.

The midnight horizon left me breathless,
The ivory moon reigned supreme in the sky;
But amidst all the beauty I'm encircled with,
Only your warm smile kept my spirits high.

By the concrete walls we sat together,
Discussing our problems with some hot chocolate;
the cool blows of air whispered a love song,
Nature herself setting the mood, or was it Fate?

Stars illuminated the dark, endless night sky,
But your eyes glistened brighter than any of them;
I'd rather give up everything I have in my life,
to eternally gaze upon these soul-piercing gems.

Your warm embrace made my heartbeat wild,
As I stared at your lips my chest thumped even wilder;
Your fragrant hair danced with the gentle breeze,
God, I prayed that the night would extend longer.

Your soft whispers resounded in my mind,
The sight of your face made my heart melt;
The sound of your voice echoed deeply in my thoughts,
Is this Love? this strange, complicated emotion I've felt?

You affect me greatly as if by magic,
Just you around makes me feels as if I'm in paradise;
From the abyss of depression I rose up again,
When I'm with you gone goes my doubts and sighs.

What is this feeling that lingers in me?
So many questions caught my attention frequently;
You're the only one who can help me answer them,
but I have to hide these feelings from you, sadly.

The darkness passed by and the morning sun came out,
Our friendship stayed strong even after that cold night;
But I've always hoped your feelings would change,
just like a new day where the eastern sun shines bright.

Before I put my writing to a halt,
I want you to know that I will always love you;
as a friend or as a lover I'll be with you,
to the end of time I'll always be beside you.

A common proverb says "Patience is a virtue",
Well if this is true then I'll be waiting for you;
Be it long or be it quick, I don't and won't ever mind,
If you're God's best then I'll always want you.

This Love consumes me
Eating away my sanity
Dictated by passion
Detached from reality

Controlled by desire
Afraid to let go
Diseased by Lust
Unable to say no

A puppet without strings
Wishing only to become real
To satisfy the wanting heart
To love and be able to feel

Come to me
Oh dearest sweet
Come consume me
Become my heart beat

Control the strings of my heart
Unleash these wild feelings
Guide my every move
Into your very being

Like raging forces of nature
Wreaking havoc across the bedroom
Both trying to dominate and be defiant
In this bare ******* under the moon

As you bite my lips
And your fingernails sink in
Goosebumps all over me
On every inch of my skin

Let the passion come crashing
Like ocean waves pummelling the shore
Like a waterfall pouring on a river
Let me seek and want for more

As puppets controlled by desire
Engulfed in passionate lust
Let the innocence fade away
Let every kiss be a must

My mind is blissful
My body feels light
The air feels cool and inviting
The sheets feel warm and soft
The tension slowly rising
Anticipating the next steps
Heartbeats resonating
Syncing in passion
Waiting for either one
To break the tension

Those eyes full of innocence
Piercing through me
Seeing these devilish intentions
Unveiling the mischief in me
Sensing that sinful wanting
And yet it still looks longing
A lamb walking to a lion’s den
Unsure of what will happen next
Leaning in for a kiss
From the gaping mouth of a hungry lion

Like floodgates in release
Gasping for each other’s air
The spice in your lips
Burning my every nerve
Every touch we make
Every breath we take
Sending shivers down our spines
The bite marks and scratches
Etched on our bare skins
As we consume each other’s being

Your body on top of mine
As if it wasn’t your first time
Commanding my every move
Controlling every direction
Engulfing my every being
Your snow soft skin
Melting into mine
Giving into the vibrations
Deeper and deeper
As time passed by

When morning light came
Even your shadow was gone
That tequila was too much I guess
It made me forget all the fun
That lustful encounter
Forever etched in my body
Burning through my mind
Through faded memories
I wish I could vividly remember
That wild night of September

The lamb becomes a lion
Untamed and unleashed
The innocence gone
The hunger ever-present
One that can never be satisfied
The lion becomes a lamb
Humbled and Unseated
His pride diminished
His shame unending
Unleashing passion that won’t ever be pacified

You haunt me
The memories that we’ve shared
Keep coming back to me
The way you play and touch my hair
Makes me feel so crazy
The kisses you have nourished me with
Etched on every nerve of my lips
You left me desperately addicted
It haunts me

You haunt me
I held on to everything you said
Believed every word you preached
Gave in to your every request
‘Cause I wanted you to be happy
Left all my friends who hated you
Left everyone behind just to be with you
Waited every night to be in bed with you
Its haunting me

You haunt me
I gave you everything that I could
All my dreams and my hopes
I threw it all away just to be with you
But when the situation got rough
You took the easy way out
You stepped out of that door
You left me afraid and alone
It broke me

You haunt me
Every night you’re my nightmare
A ghost hanging over me
Leading my mind to insanity
The pain in my heart burns increasingly
Every memory turning against me
Pleading and begging to be yours again
Even if it is slowly destroying me
It tortures me

You haunt me
My life you have filled with misery
And yet I still yearn to be with you
This is how much I love you
Twisted as it may be
I will endure
I will be waiting patiently
All of it because
You haunt me
