You are my forever
You made me live with smiles and not with tears
You made me trust again and believe in myself
You strengthened my faith and took out my fears
You put back the laughter and smile on my face

You are my forever
And I promise to God I will fight for you
I won't make you sad or make you blue
I won't let you feel unimportant, and won't let you go
I won't be tired of saying "I love you" and "I do"

~~¤~~

~~¤~~

Christmas had passed
New Year is coming
And I haven't wrap a gift for you

Yet I see it here
Shining like the sun
Something that won't make you blue

I've kept it for so long
To give you as present
Though I can't send it right

Still, I have this hope
That you will hold it well
When the time is right

I wish you will take care
You won't let it cold
It will stay so warm

Or maybe hot enough
Through the test of times
Away from all the harms

Yes, I have a gift for you
A very special gift
I want you to receive

This is only for you
My life, my everything
My all I want to give

~~¤~~

~~¤~~

Life is so unfair
Yet it is beautiful
Chance is so unkind
Yet it still gives choices

Life is still the one you make
Through your choices
With faith
For without faith, nothing will happen
Because even if life is unfair
God is always fair to us

~~¤~~

~~¤~~

When they come,  we hug them
And seal them in our hearts
Like we truly feel, hear and see
Wounds on our skin or smile on our face
Angst and hatred or the celebration
We cry for someone's defeat
We shout for someone's joy
Because all we know is
Words are mirror
Of someone's heart

What we read from here
Are views from our windows
We could see what are allowed for us to see
But oftentimes,  we see what the eyes cannot see
~~¤~~

~~¤~~

Sweet kisses like
honey from your lips
Hands tracing the curve of my hips
I am yours forever,  baby
Just tell me,
tell me
you
are mine
With your hugs
Everything will be so fine
Sweet kisses like honey from your lips
Tempting touch by your fingertips...

~~¤~~

~~¤~~

You are every word I put
In this jar of  lines that I keep for so long
Like every breath that I breathe
And every single beat of my heart

You are the wish of forever
The moment I stare up to the sky
And wait for a shooting star
Or just look at those stellar bodies
Find the most radiant of them all
And uncover your eyes in it
Like staring at me soulfully

I hear your whispers in the wind
And even in the drops of water
Like the rain that washes my spirit
Or the sound of the waves
That always echo on the walls of my soul
Like those children playing
At the back of my mind

You never leave me in my dreams
Your touch always comfort me
With those words I need to carry on

You are my song
Your words, my melody

You are my song
My love forever

~~¤~~

~~<3~~

I am the sunshine
the ray of your first light
that kisses your cheek
and gives you warmth in these cold days

I can enter even at your sealed room
can pass through your closed windows
to watch you there in peace
while holding the glass bird in your hand

I give you the torch,
the lamp that you need when the room goes dark
and the flame when something needs to be held
like holding a glass of  rain and a bottle of wind

You tell me that stars are not far
while oceans are just few steps ahead
That my warmth gives you that strength
to build the ladders and bridges we need

Yes, I am your light
and I will share my glow with you
Until the last beam that I have
Because being your light gives me life

For you are the ember
that ignites my light to spark
For you are who  I am
And together we will share this light.

~~<3~~

I am blessed
How come I didn't know?
Or I am just blind
For whatever you show?

I am blessed
How come I didn't rejoice?
Or I am just afraid
To make a better choice?

How come I was a blind,
afraid to choose,  to stand?
Thank you for the love
Please always hold my hand

I am so blessed today
For having your love, my dear
I wish I can make you glad
And  take away your fears

The curve of my lips
Gives you thousands of rays
That nothing else can give

The smile on your face
Gives me millions of reasons
To love and to live

You call me Sunshine
The one and only
Light of your day

I call you my Rain
The one that heals me
And takes my pain away.

~~¤~~

I wear a mask tonight
So that no one can gaze at my windows
I have been sad for almost half of my life
And yet the gift of bitterness is what I receive
From you...

Let me wear this mask tonight
And just look at my smile
Which brings sunshine in your eyes

At least for tonight...

~~¤~~

~~¤~~

It is easy to love a poet
Give her that smile that she'll never forget
Just send her  a word or a line
And everyday will be just so fine

Show her your photo, good or not
Anyway she loves you a lot
Everything from you is for keeps
Like sweetness of your kiss on her tender lips

Touch her softly, that she never expects
Kiss her forehead as sign of respect
She feels wonderful when you are around
A simple hello is a lovely sound

Give her a time to tell her stories
Make her feel that she's really missed
She just deserves a hug and a smile
After being away for a while

Let her lean on your chest and shoulders
Let her feel that you are all hers
When she waits for a shooting star to fall
You know what's her wish afterall

She always sits on your lap,  doesn't she?
Like a baby girl she ought to be
When she press your nose, fell proud
She only wants you to laugh so loud

Hold her waist and carry her
Swing your bodies into the air
When she tickles and teases you endlessly
She do it with love for your eyes to see

Oh,  it is easy to love a poet
A kind of love you will never forget
Her heart is pure,  tender and mild
Yet she loves so much, carefree and wild...

~~¤~~

~~¤~~

I have seen these dark clouds before
Thick blankets that cover your sky
Oh world, you've been missing the light
Those clouds were powerful enough to cover the sun
And their power is increasing as time goes by
That they have reached even the corner of man's mind

They just didn't create the rain but storms
Storms that attack even the small veins of one's fist
They made hearts of stone
And minds as black as night

Tell me, oh world
How much love we need to fold these thick blankets that cover us?

We are waiting for the sun to shine upon our souls,
for the love to melt the hearts of stone,
for the minds to welcome the day

Paint thy sky with love
A shimmering rainbow
That will melt the dark sky over us.

~~¤~~

~~¤~~

I heard your cry Oh, Paris
From the hundred of bodies that fell on your ground
I heard the sobbing of your neighbors
I saw the tears of all the eyes watching you
You were trying to  move on from the tragic Charlie Hebdo Attack
But here you are again-
Broken and bruised
And my heart is breaking
My tears are rolling down my face
As I utter  a thousand why's

But...

I still hear the weeping from afar-
Palestine and Syria are still mourning for the death of their children,
India Heat Wave that killed more than two thousand,
The hundreds of migrants killed in sinking ship in the Mediterranean Sea,
The TransAsia Airways Flight 235 Crash in Taiwan,
The Germanwings Flight 9525 Crash into the French Alps,
The Earthquake in Nepal,
The Amtrak Train Derail in Philadelphia,
The Warehouse Explosion that killed a hundred in China,
The Reporter and Cameraman Killed live on TV,
The Refugee crisis,
The Hajj Pilgrimage Tragedy near Mecca
The series of calamities and tragedies in different parts of my dear Philippines-
The families of thousands of dead people are still in agony
These tragedies around the world
Gave those places the deepest cuts upon the bellies of the mothers
Wounds that connect to the hearts
And create scars that might be fresh until now

The world is in pain
And here are my tears again

I am praying for the world
Can we listen to those cries and open our hearts?

Let us  pray for you,  dear Paris
And for other places wich are still in misery

Let us pray for the world.

~~¤~~

You are my coffee
Not just in the morning
You keep me awake even at night
With thought of you that's never ending

~~¤~~

I am an exquisite soul,
child of sheltered creative spirits
In my veins run the colorful blood flowing with rhythm
The air I breathe feels like drips of rain
in alternating rhyme scheme
Stop me from spilling my ink
and I will still bleed with words
upon the sheets of my secluded book

I am a strange hand of nature
creating rainbow in its playground
It is not my duty to paint the sky with hues,
but what I do creates strength of my palm
I bleed with words
I breathe love, hope and faith
You can stop me from breathing my thoughts
by taking out my heart

For I am an exquisite soul
who always bleed with words
upon the sheets of my secluded book.

~~¤~~

~~¤~~

I will take care of you
Love you endlessly
Understand all your flaws

I will help you reach your dreams
Support you in your passion
Will respect if you need a pause

You will never feel alone
For I am with you by heart
Your spirit is with me always

You will not feel uncomfortable
When you are with me
We will be happy, nights and days

When you are sad and tired
My smile will enlighten you
As my hugs and kisses will make you warm

There's no other place
That you can find this feeling
But here in my arms

I will do everything
I will give my all
For you are my only one

I will be yours forever
Body, soul and spirit
Because I love you, my precious man.

~~¤~~

Thank you for the great room this place has provided me
I was just like a little kid writer who wants to be free
In this house everyone has a special place to dance
Where one can sing and paint all words anytime, not just once


Thank you for the time spent reading all my words
For listening to my songs and understanding all the chords
My poems are just the scribbles coming from heart and soul
But I do wish a word can heal, one of my greatest goals


Thank you for the ray of light each of us have made
We are like a family, our sunshine never fades
Keep up all the good works, keep shining in this world
Each of us is a treasure, more precious than a gold

This is our house, my sisters, my brothers hear my call
Let us keep the peace and love by understanding all
We should not condemn or judge whatever word we say
Provided that we're not casting stones in all the ways

Hear the song  a singer sings to express all his love and care
Read the lines a poet has made like his heart and mind he shares
Look at the photographs when someone shows with joy
Could you ignore them and see them like your oldest toy?

A piece of art is still an art, either happy or sad
Why one would look at other's work as something that is bad?
Unless the post is like a gun pointed on your head
I know we have our eyes to see the real dark or red


This is our house, dear housemates, this is  our home
We live by our thoughts, our life is there in our poems
This is our place together, we should walk hand-in-hand
Speak our minds and listen, together we will stand!

~~¤~~

~~<3~~

My love, do you still remember me?
The vow  we made under this mango tree
I was younger then while you were old enough
But in my heart I knew you're my better half
~~
Your face that time, it's painted here inside
After the wedding, we had that romantic ride
We took that road riding on a pretty white horse
You were holding me throughout the journey, of course
~~
But suddenly a storm came while we're on our way
You've loosen your grip, we didn't make our day
A strong wind got me while you were thrown afar
We've been apart, heart-broken like victims of war
~~
My love, do you still remember me?
Two years and more, we're here under this mango tree
Now, I'm tracing the carved hearts with our names entwined
Wishing that like them, you and I have that strongest bind
~~
My love, do you still remember me?
Until now, your memories never set me free...

~~<3~~

~~¤~~

How many nights will I look next to me
Only to see a pillow and not you, my dear?
How many times I will whisper your name
Only to prove that you will never hear?
How many paper rings I will make
Only to fold and hide them somewhere?

How many poems I shall recite
Only to tell them nothing is about me?
How many times I will tell a lie
And assume something I don't see?
How many times I will hear a song
And let imagination feed my fantasy?

How many times I will cry
With this cut that I need to mend?
How can I stand and how long?
Will you come? Tell me, baby, tell me when...

Or I am just dreaming again?

~~¤~~

You came that night
when I was afraid of the dark
and the rain
but you let me see
the dark is just a blanket
that I will use at night
when I sleep
and the rain
is just like showers
petals coming from the clouds
gentle and kind
they will never hurt me

I know

Your wings are my protection
Since the day you step your foot
On the ground
for me

Your wings--
my shelter*.

~~@~~

How many times I have to cry
this ocean of tears from my eyes?
How many times I have to smile
just to hide these heartbreaking lies?

Oh, beautiful tears from my eyes
come on, roll down in quietude
Beautiful drops like crystal clear
keep my weeping in solitude

Will there be beauty in yelling
letting them know that I'm broken?
I  want to keep my misery
a thousand words be unspoken

Beautiful tears, come hide with me
just stay behind my loudest laugh
Just let them know my victory
A perfect beam in your behalf.

~~@~~

~~¤~~
It's not easy to accept that some things really wouldn't last
Even the people you want to keep are just like those butterflies
Once they get out of their cocoon, they would seek for their own lives
But what is painful when you realized that they have found another heart

I am not greedy, not that selfish but it really really hurts
Knowing that someone you love the most won't be with you until the last
Why this world has to make you feel that you are alone from the start
There'll be borrowed moments, borrowed joys, but you can never borrow a heart

"If they will come to get you here, will you really go with them?"
"I won't," he said. "You know that I love you, you know me well.
But maybe when I grow old, I can go and live with them"
That made my tears roll down my face, my broken heart, I cannot tell

I thought I have him here with me and will be mine until the peak
I thought someone will care about me as my own blood when I am sick
I thought he's not temporary, that he is mine, though I don't speak
Oh, why I have to over-think about these things that make me weak?

~~¤~~

~~ <3 ~~

I just saw them while walking
In the park where I used to go
A tall man and a short one
Walks hand in hand, they show
The tall man kissed his lady
The lady smiled at him
She kissed him back and smiled again
What a romantic team!

And then I walked some more steps
I saw another pair
A black man and a fair girl
They show much love and care
The man seems feeding her food
Another romantic scene
For she's there on his lap
Like a baby girl, I mean

I just smiled then I walked again
To see a new story
The man is old, the woman's young
But it's the sweetest pair to see
The man's holding her shaking hand
With tears rolling on her face
A ring he's putting in her finger
With a vow so full of grace!

And so I walked and walked again
Like moving round and round
My eyes are full of sweetest tears
My feet float from the ground
My heart now bleeds for I'm amazed
For love's a mystery
Those scenes will be forevermore
Like forever you and me.

~~ <3 ~~

This INSET's a successful one
In all aspects that they have planned
With one theme here, through hand and hand
We're all for one, we're all for one

The venue is a perfect place
Here, up and down with all the grace
So beautiful, no time to waste
I want to praise, I want to praise

Our principals and cluster head
Applause to you for what you did
Our dear speakers, you've sown the seeds
You took the lead, you took the lead

The speakers were so excellent
They taught us all with great extent
The knowledge were like message sent
There's no more vent, there's no more vent

Demo-teachers and all us here
We have the smile we need to wear
Please, no more stress and no more tears
The joy is near, the joy is near

I want to say  thank you to all
A job well-done, we shall recall
Let's clap our hands, all in this hall
Let's rock and roll, let's rock and roll!

~~¤~~
This is the day, the time to start your life
A happy one, away from all the strife
No more conflict or hatred as you go
That's life, be real, it might go high or low
~~
Start this day with change that you dream of
You can achieve the things that you don't have
When you start doing the things you never did
A change in life means a change in self's a need
~~
This is the day, another chance to see
How beautiful this life if we are free
Forget the sadness, we start to walk our way
Joy is a choice so choose to make your day!

I am human in this big world
I might be warm, I might be cold
Sometimes I'm weak I need to hold
A heart of gold, a heart of gold

If I'm afraid I wear a hood
I don't do all the things I could
Sometimes I feel to hide my mood
I'm not so good, I'm not so good

In my weakness, I still feel strong
I find my voice and sing my song
Though I don't know where I belong
This can't be wrong, this can't be wrong

When I am strong, I never boast
Though triumphs need a simple toast
Like ship that sails into the coast
Back to my post, back to my post

I am human, I tell this straight
Sometimes I see you fill my plate
I would get mad, I also hate
I am not great, I am not great

I cannot see myself somehow
How I will smile a year from now
But I believe God will allow
I take a bow, I take a bow

~~@~~

~~¤~~

Oh, I fell in love again
With the man of golden heart
The man who made me cry
Those tears of hope and joy
I fell in love again...



With you!

~~¤~~

~~¤~~

I am like the sun
There's no way to run

Soon, I need to rest
It's time to end the quest

I have done all my part
You have my soul and heart

There, I will lay down soon
To give the sky to the moon...

Mayroong isang awiting nais kong marinig
Isang mapagpala at malamyos na tinig
Mayroong isang pangarap na nais kong matupad
Dito sa puso ko'y isa lang  ang aking hangad

Mayroong isang halamang nais kong mahagkan
Nag-iisang bulaklak na may angking kariktan
Mayroong isang pangakong iaalay ko sa iyo
Sa buhay kong ito'y tanging ikaw aking mundo

Koro:
Paglisan ko'y walang iiwanang luha
Paglisan ko'y hindi wakas kundi isang simula
Iiwanan kong bakas ay kahapong walang sigla
Haharapin ko ang ngayon at ang bukas na masaya
Paglisan ko'y hindi wakas, paglisan ko'y pagdating
Sa isang buhay na may pangakong lakas,
Pag-asa at pag-ibig na wagas
Paglisan sa kahapon
Pagdating sa 'king magiging bukas

Mayroong isang damdaming sinikap itago
Pagtahak sa isang landas na di nais mabago
Pagyakap sa liwanag, paghalik sa pag-asa
Maaari nang ipagsigawan, maari nang magsaya

>Koro<

~~¤~~

Space has been our nemesis
And so as time
There comes the longing,
That becomes pain
But love will rise above them all
Yes, nothing
Nothing can defeat our love
Yet only you can defeat me
Because in your love
I will totally surrender

~~¤~~

~~¤~~

One day you will see
How beautiful the star in my hand
That star I once dreamed to touch
The one I want you to hold

~~¤~~

~~¤~~

I spill my ink on a sheet
But all I can see is red
In shape of hearts

Even my mind collaborates
With my emotion
Brain and heart in unison
Singing same song
Painting same image

I always want to make
A love note for you.

~~¤~~

~~~¤~~~

You can caress me or slap me on my face without touching me, my dear
You can **** me with too much depression, I swear
You can twist my arms, break my bones and tear me apart
Your words are sharper than a sword, they hit me right through the heart.

~~~¤~~~

~~~¤~~~

We do want to be loved, don't we?
But it is different from sympathy

When you are down and they see your tears
When you almost give up from all of your fears

When you feel you're alone and no one's at your side
When things went wrong and there's no one to guide

When all your deeds were not right all along
When you feel different and can't find where you belong

When you feel all your goals stay undone
When your weakness pushes you to depend on someone

When you feel someone came along to care
When the person doesn't feel the same and you're not aware

We do want to be loved, don't we?
But please don't expect for love when the truth is it's just his sympathy...

~~~¤~~~

~~~¤~~~

Your lips taste like honey
Your whispers tickle me
Your touch I wait at night
To love me til the first light

Sweet kisses on my skin
Touch me from deep within
I am a slave of your love, darling
Only you can make my heart sing

~~~¤~~~

~~~¤~~~

We are two different people, I know
But we have common feeling to show
One soul, one spirit, we grow
We dance as one heart, one shadow

~~~¤~~~

~~~¤~~~

I may not get **** before your eyes
But I am totally naked before your soul
Sharing one heart, one beat under one sky
Love is the naked truth, our one common goal

~~~¤~~~

~~~¤~~~

Yes, I am you, I can be neutral, hot or cold
I am different yet I am every human in this world
Your mind's not mine yet you have my heart
Your soul, my soul, yet we are still apart
Your eyes sometimes  look like mine
Your ears never differ when one plays a line
Your skin is fair but inside I have the same
You also hope for a momentary power and fame
Who doesn't want joy is such a hypocrite
I see you in the mirror when you want to quit
You sing my song when you stand and walk
I wear your clothes whenever I talk
Now, why don't you hold my ***** hand?
I never question your feet when full of mud
We both dance when music plays
Yet one might stop and leave when the other stays
As painters, we borrow each others paint
Yet your art could make them call you a saint
I should have no question, this is life, I know
We're just actors playing a complicated show...

~~~¤~~~

Yeah, I am older and bolder
Reborn to be a fighter
Mature, yet I am responsible
Still not wanting any trouble

Getting older is not a problem
I am just wanting more time to be solemn
Quietude is a great opportunity
To evaluate my worth, my rights and duty

I am bolder, creativity is my passion
No time for heresays or wrong notion
I am teased by kindness and respect
Beauty is in the heart, not from what they expect

I am older and bolder,  just feel me now
I  was waiting for so long somehow
Explore my exotic beauty and madness
Take me, bathe me with your sweet kiss and caress

Oh, take me now, my love, I am yours
Lets have plenty of travels and tours
Take me to the heaven, take me to the moon
We will grow old together, our life will start soon!

Our future together
Is my
Greatest dream--
My sweet obsession

Love me like a fragile flower
Teach me to fly with you, my dear
Now you can seal my trembling lips
Come, wrap your arms around my hips

Love all of me even my scars
Oh, make me see the moon, the stars
Come, feel the warmth of my soft touch
Fall unto me, I'm here to catch

Love me from day until the night
Steal my breath and even my sight
Suspend the time, I need a pause
Don't ask me why, love is the cause

I am all yours, come, love me, dear
I need you now, isn't it clear?
Stay with me and make me feel
This time is ours, this love is real*.

My love, I have been waiting for your touch
How I long to feel you from morning 'til night

Love me gently, embrace my blatancy
Kiss my innocence, hold me so tight

I'll surrender all to you, my love
Please just stay at my sight

Your song, my song, I hear it
From your heart, my precious knight

My knees are shaking, my heart is beating so fast
My lips are waiting, kiss me, baby, it's alright

You said that you love me, prove it to me, my love
Let your skin touch mine, give me what's just right

My heart, my soul, I'll give you my all
Come one, baby, I am yours tonight*...
