When clouds are overhead
It doesn't bother me,
I lay my weary head
Right on my lover's knee,
With her fingers in my hair
To soothe away dull care.
I go walking in the sunlight of dreams
In the sunlight
Radiant sunlight
In the ultra-white
I'm alright
Sunlight of my dreams.

When lady luck won't smile
I send her on her way
The weather may be vile.
All the livelong day.
But if wintry winds do blow
And summer doesn't show
I go walking in the sunlight of my dreams
In the sunlight
Happy sunlight
In the living right
Watertight
Sunlight of my dreams.

Where skies are darkest blue
And trouble's far behind
Young love is ever true
And hearts are always kind.
Everyone has time to spend
And pleasures never end.
I go walking in the sunlight of my dreams
In the sunlight
Laughing sunlight
In the dynamite
Golden bright
*Sunlight of my dreams.
This is poem I found that was written by my grandfather in an old book of his poetry. This was my personal favourite, so I thought I would share it on here.
Paano ba mag simula uli?
Paano ba muling ma haling sa dating pinapangarap?
Ang musikang inaalay sa mga makikinig,
ang mga linya't katagang tumatagos sa damdamin ng iba.
Kelan ba ito papangaraping muli?
Kelan ba mag-aalay muli?
Ngayon? Bukas? O wag nalang kaya?

Ang dating silakbo ng damdamin sa musika, nasaan na?
Nangangarap paring  ito ay bumalik.
Sa tuwing hinahagkan ko ang aking instrumento,
umaasang ako'y muling masabik.
Umaasang muli.
Nangangarap uli.

Hanggang sa muli,
aking pinangarap.

Can't manage my own memory,
fading.
Deteriorating.
Smoked too much,
consequences are all I have.
The herb has given me peace,
now without it
I can't be at ease.

I cannot see better days ahead,
what am I gonna do about it?
I cannot say.
When I close my eyes, I'm filled with nothing but dread.
**** it, come what may.

I've seen different shades of skies in your eyes
tasted every sweets in your lips but
I never thought I'll hear
the words that will
make me deaf
goodbye
Iginagapos ko ang sarili gamit ang aking mga palad,
Ayokong maniwala sa kapalaran,
Pagkat hindi na tayo mga batang
Nakikipaglaruan pa
Sa mga mumunti nating mga pangarap.

Sa bawat desisyong ating paninindigan,
Doon natin masasabing, kaya talaga natin.
Mahirap man makipagsapalaran
Sa mga nagtatagisang katauhan
Ngunit, isipin mo,
Hindi natin sila kalaban.

Hindi tayo palamuti sa ating mga istorya,
Tayo yung unang babati sa’ting mga sarili ng,
“Magandang umaga.”
O kung bakit minsan,
Nananatili tayong pagod na pagod
Na tila ba hinihila tayo ng Araw
Na para bang tayo’y mga kalabaw lamang
Na magpapagal at hindi aani.

Iikot tayo sa mundong hindi tumatakbo,
Kundi iikot tayong may dahilan
At hindi tayo magiging pabalik-balik.
Tayo’y matututo sa bawat lubak,
Madisgrasya man tayo’y, hindi pa rin susuko —
At tayong manananatili sa pagwagayway
Ng ating mga bandera,
Na hindi nagpapatangay
Sa mga mistulang diktador na mga alaala.

Magbibilang tayo ng araw,
Ngayong taon
Ngayong araw na ito,
Tayo’y magsisimula —
At hindi tayo magtatapos
Nang walang kabuluhan
Ang ating mga adhikain.

Tayo ay iisa —
Isa, dalawa..
Tatlo..
Tayo na —
At magsimula.

but darling,
you don’t need anyone
who read your poems
like a simple word
every time you write is a step to throw the excess baggage’s in your heart.

most of us are scarred
by knives we carved in our wrists
but I am different
for I bleed
by the words
I’ve always begged to hear.
I'd never though the sweetest words will be bitter when you said it.
