Nararamdaman
At sa paglipas ng araw-araw
Aking napapansin ang unti-unting pag-iiba
Ng aking pag tingin sa'yo
Damdami'y hindi maipinta
Kung ito ba'y hanga lang o may halo nang mas malalim
Ako'y natatakot sa kung anong ibig sabihin nito
Ngunit aking pag tingin sa'yo ay hindi maiiba
Sa kadahilanan na ika'y pinili
Sinasadya man o hindi
Ng aking puso't utak
Pero siguro sa ngayon, mas maigi na tayo'y maging magkaibigan na muna lamang
Dahil ako'y namamanhid, at iyong hindi iniisip ang ganitong bagay sa buhay

Wakas
Sa wakas tayo magsisimula
Sa wakas na ito
doon malalaman ang ating kapalaran
Ang kapalaran ng istorya nating dalawa
Kung tayong dalawa nga ba ang para sa isa't isa
O hanggang kathang isip na lamang tayo
Kahit tayo ay nag wakas
Hindi ibig sabihin na tapos na ang kuwento
Paalala, nagsisimula pa lang ang kuwento
Magsisimula pa lang ang mga nakaabang na pagsubok
Mga pagsubok na pwedeng magpapalapit
O magpapalayo sa atin
Hindi ako umaasa
Ngunit ako ay nangangarap
Na sana sa isang araw
Pagkabukas ng aking mga mata
Ikaw ang aking unang makikita
At liliwanag sa araw ko

Agos
Bibitawan ko
At hahayaan
Ang agos na ang magdala
Sa aking nararamdaman
At kung ito'y mapadpad ulit sa dalampasigan
Baka sakali'y ito'y maaari
Nang pansinin ulit, at
Sa pangalawang pagkakataon
Ay subukan muli

ang araw
umaga
gumising nanaman ang araw
para tayo'y gisingin at
mamuhay ng kanya-kanyang buhay

hapon
unti-unti nang nagpapahinga ang araw
mga tao'y napapagod, kahit ang araw
pero patuloy pa rin sa pag trabaho

dapit-hapon
nakita ko ang kagandahan ng paglubog ng araw
malapit nanaman ang kinabukasan
ngunit ako'y nabighani at biglang napahinga

gabi
nagsapit nanaman ang dilim
namahinga na ang araw
magsisimula naman ang buwan

liwayway
sinasamahan ako ng gising na buwan
sa aking pag antay sa dapit-umaga
pag gising ng araw'y magsisimula muli
ang araw-araw na gawain na walang katapusan

Ang Pagbalik
Hindi niyo ba nakikita
Ang kanilang panlilinlang sa taong bayan
Sa pagpapakita ng malayang lansangan
Ngunit ang totoo'y sila ang kapahamakan

Apat na dekada nang nakalipas
Bata, matanda, sanggol, walang takas
Walang takas sa pagmanalupit ng mga pulis at sundalo
Ang nakaraan, hindi ba tayo natuto?

Mga pulis ay nagkalat
Mga sundalo'y laganap at dumadami
Kahit saan lumingon, sila ang matatanaw
Nagmamasid, nag-iikot, baril ay nasa tabi

Putok ng baril biglaang maririnig
Kasunod ay balitang may nabaril
Iisa ang rason: nanlaban
Ang tanong, nanlaban ba o kunwariang nanlaban?

Kanilang pagkatok
Biglaang pasok
Naghalungkat na walang pahintulot
Tama pa ba ito?

Mga tao'y hinahayaan lang
Ang mga naglalakad na kapahamakan
Dahil sa takot na sila'y tauhan ng presidente
Isang kamay sa bibig, kabila'y sa mata

Unti-unti nang nagpaparamdam
Ang pagbalik muli ng setyembre bente-tres
Tao'y nabulag, hanggang ngayon ganon parin
Kailan kaya magigising ang tao, kapag huli na ba ang lahat?

Malay Natin
Sa gitna ng kawalan
Ay makakita tayo ng kasagutan
Sa ating mga katanungan
Na umaaligid sa ating mga isipan
Na kailanman ay maaaring hindi na mabigyan
Ng tamang sagot o ng kasagutan
Ngunit patuloy parin tayong naghahanapan
Sa pamamagitan ng paghanap sa ibang tao
O paghahanap sa kung ano anong bagay
Hanggang sa ating huling hininga'y
Hindi tayo tumigil sa paghahanap ng sagot sa ating buhay

Bakit nga ba?
May mga oras sa aking buhay
Na aking hinihiling na sana'y ika'y hindi nakilala
Sapagkat kung ika'y hindi nakilala
Aking puso'y nananahimik ngayon
Ngunit ika'y nilapit sa akin
Hindi ko napigilan ang aking sarili
Na mahulog sa iyong kabaitan at pagiging iyong sarili
Alam kong kasalanan ko ito
Kung kaya'y ika'y hindi sinisisi
Masaya ako sa piling mo
At sa araw-araw na tayo'y magkasama
Minsan ang sakit
Dahil alam kong sa araw-araw
Ika'y mas lalong hinahanap
At mas ginugusto na makasama
Kahit hindi ko gusto na ika'y maisip
Bakit nga ba ika'y pilit tumatakbo?
Mga katanungan na biglaang papasok
Sa aking isipan ay bumabagabag
Hindi ka ba napapagod?
Hindi ka ba napapagod sa pag antay sa akin na ako'y makasakay?
Hindi ka ba napapagod sa pag protekta sa akin?
Hindi ka ba napapagod sa pakikinig sa akin sa araw-araw?
Bakit? Bakit mo nga ba ito ginagawa?
Hindi mo ba alam na ako'y nahuhulog na sa'yo?
Ang hirap, alam mo ba?
Pero alam mo ba
Ang saya ko kapag kasama kita
Makita lang kita
Aking araw ay buo na
Hindi ko man alam ano ang karugtong ng kasalukuyan
Pero sana ikaw ay parte ng aking kinabukasan

Ikaw
Ika'y aking inaantay
Sa gitna ng kawalan at mayroon
Kahit ako'y nahihirapan
Ngunit ika'y aking minamahal
Kaya't kakayanin ko hanggang sa dulo
Sapagkat naniniwala ako na ikaw ay karapatdapat
At aking pinipili at binibigyan ng kapangyarihan
Na ako'y saktan mo, gusto mo man o hindi

Kahit
Kahit malayo ng ilang kilometro
Kahit tayo ay nasa magkabilang panig ng Maynila
Kahit umulan man o umaraw
Kahit ilang taon ang lumipas
Naniniwala ako na kapag tayo ay para sa isa't-isa
Balang araw, tayo ay magkikita muli
At doon uusbong ang nakatagong nararamdaman

Kita
Ang ating distansya'y malayo
Pero aking pangalan ay iyong tinawag
nagulat ako at biglang napatingin
Nakita kita at ang iyong matamis na ngiti
Ako'y medyo natulala
At aking puso'y tumibok ng mabilis
Hindi man kita buong araw kapiling
Ngunit isang kita lang sayo'y
Ako'y nasisiyahan na
Sana'y tuwing nakikita mo ako
Ang iyong nararamdaman
Ay kasing tulad ng sa akin
Sana'y may mga araw
Na ako'y iyong hinahanap
Dahil aminado akong
Ikaw ang inaabangan ko sa aking araw-araw

Ingat
Alam kong walang tayo
Ngunit ang nais kong sabihin
Sa iyong pag-uwi ay
"Ingat ka, kasi kapag ika'y nawala
Mawawala na din ang kalahati ng buhay ko."

Mamahalin Kita
Mamahalin pa rin kita
kahit hindi mo na mahal sarili mo
kahit sabihin mo pang susukuan din kita
alam ko sa sarili ko na hindi ito totoo

Mamahalin kita
hanggang sa makita mo
ika'y may dahilan para gumising sa umaga
at tignan ang mga bituin sa ating pag-upo
gabi-gabi sa veranda magkasama

Hindi magsasawa sa'yo
sa pagdilat ng mga mata
hanggang sa pagtulog
ikaw lamang ang tanging sinta

Hindi ako susuko
sapagka't ika'y isang biyaya
na iingatan at aalagaan ko
hanggang sa huli kong hininga

Sunset | Dapit-hapon
Sa pagsapit ng dapit-hapon
Binabati ng kalangitan
Ang dumarating na buwan
At paalis na araw

Nabatid ng aking isip
Patapos na ulit
Ang sumapit na maghapon
Nawa'y dapat na magpahinga

Ngunit sa buhay ngayon
Hindi na matanto kung
Dapat ba, nararapat ba
O may karapatan pa ba

Makaramdam
Magpahinga
Makahinga
Mag-isip

Kahit ano pa man ang
Nangyari, naganap, naramdaman
Kailangan pa rin natin bigyan
Ng oras ang ating mga sarili

Sapagka't hindi ito isang
Kagustuhan lamang
Kundi ito ay isang kailangan
Kailangan ng lahat

Sa Bawat Oras
Sa bawat pag gising
Tila ang umaga'y hindi kasing tulad dati
Ang akala kong magpapatuloy
Ay may hindi inaasahang paghinto

Sa bawat paglipas ng araw
Tulad ng paglaho ng oras
Lumalaho na rin ang aking pag-antay
Pag-aantay sa kawalan

Sa bawat paglubog ng araw
Sinasama nito ang sakit na
Aking nadarama tuwing dapit-hapon
Kung kailan kita naaalala

Sa bawat pag usbong ng buwan
Ako'y nakakakita ng bagong pag-asa
Pag-asa ng kinabukasan na
Magkakaroon ng kasagutan ang lahat

At sa bawat pag kinang ng mga bituin
Naaalala ko pa rin ang nakaraan
Ang lahat ng masasayang alaala
Na sana'y napagpatuloy hanggang ngayon

"Naging"
Minsan sa buhay
Kahit may hindi ka gustong maalala
Maalala mo na lang bigla
Kasi malaki yung naging parte niya sa buhay mo
Pero lagi mo lang tandaan na naging parte siya ng buhay mo
"Naging"- kaya huwag mo nang balakin na pabalikan siya ulit
Salamat sa mga alaalang naibigay
Pero hanggang dun na lang tayo

Huling pag kaway
Sa aking pag kaway
Nagpapahiwatig ng aking pag paalam
Hindi namalayan na iyon na pala
Ang huling pagkikita

Akala ko'y panandalian lamang
Ang pag hinto ng mundo
Ngunit 'yon na pala ang simula
Nang pag tigil ng buhay

Nag-isip, nag-iisip
Sa lahat ng nangyari
Bago ang kasalukuyang pangyayari
May hindi pa ba ako nagagawa?

Sa unti-unting paglaho ng mga araw
Tumama sa akin ang realidad ng buhay
Tunay ngang maiksi ang buhay
At hindi alam ang kasunod

Napatulala
Nalungkot
Napaiyak
Napagod

Hinahanap ang nakasanayan
Mga araw-araw na gawain
Mula sa pag gising ng maaga
Hanggang sa patulog na pasikat na araw

My Platonic Love pt.2
As the years passed by
A lot of memories have been made
Secrets have been told
Yet feelings remain untold

As I count the number of years with you
My feelings remained for you
Yes, we had our own heartaches
But mine remained for you

I believe in our platonic love
But have you ever wondered
What it can be if
Our platonic love matures?

Have you ever wondered
If I can be the one
The one that you are looking for
The one in front of you for many years

I see you
I always do
Each and every single day
Through day and night

When will the day come
That you will finally
Look at me dearly and realize
That I was the one always there

Will I still count
The years with you as us?
Or will i count the years
With you as love?

A Farewell Love Letter
Dear Love
You know very well how much you mean to me
And how much I love you
But I must say this, for the betterment of us…
Ever since the day that I met you, I know that I would fall in love with you
No doubts, I was very sure of it
At first, I thought you would just be like everybody else:
You would be there, then grow tired of me, and leave
But you proved me wrong… I was wrong…
You didn’t leave me, even when I tried to push you away
You stayed, you beared with me
And I’m very happy and thankful for that…
I didn’t believe in forever, for forever is just a promise meant to be broken
But you made me believe in it, you made me realize
That forever is not a promise meant to be broken
But a promise meant to be proved… to be proved by the person you love… by you
You gave me forever just by the presence of you
Just your presence was enough for me
Enough for me to fall helplessly in love with you
I was afraid, but I became courageous for you
For you were my dream, a dream that I want to become true
And now here we are, a dream come true
No, we’re not a dream anymore, but a reality
Souls that have emerged to one
A living proof of forever…
But we must end this
This lovely solitude of us
This concept of forever with you
For the concept of us is just for a short time
For the idea of you and I, is, but a sweet candy:
Slowly melting and drifting away…
My love, I hope you understand me
I’m doing this for you, to lessen the pain
The pain that I will bring to you after some time
For I will be gone for a very long time
And you will long for my presence, for my touch
But I will wait for you, no matter how long it will take
I will wait for you… I promise, I will
And if we meet again, I’m sure we’ll be happy together
Together in the paradise we both longed for
Where we can be together… forever
And say our “I love you” ‘s endlessly

Sensation
His lips
Inching closer onto mine
Body tingling
As his tongue run down my body
Breaths huffing
As we exchange deep french kisses
Skin touching
As our bodies tickle each other
Spine chilling
As his hand run down onto it, and;
Feeling whole
As our bodies become one

Mahal kita, ngunit
Sinabi **** mahal mo ako
Ngunit hindi tayo maaari
Hindi tayo mangyayari
Okay lang, tanggap naman ng aking sarili
Aking damdami'y naglalaro sa saya at lungkot
Saya ng dahil narinig ko na din na ako'y iyong mahal
Lungkot naman dahil kailan man hindi magiging tayo
Sinabi **** 'mahal kita'
Alam kong iyon ay totoo
Naniniwala ako sa iyo
Ngunit mahal mo nga ba talaga ako?
Kasi kung oo, sana tayo na ngayon

Late Night Get Away
On this very bed, I lay down beside you
With blankets keeping us warm
A faint light to see your kind face
And exchanging breaths
For our face are as close
As the sun meets the horizon
As darkness covers the sky

Love, I pray for your happiness
I may not be the one you see
As the night falls, and
As the morning is born
But know that I'll always be there

As this night ends
Let me tell you this:
Just like the stars in the sky
And the moon during morning shine
I may not be visible
But I am there with you

Kalawakan
sa malayong kalawakan
'di mo matatanaw ang dulo
ngunit tayo'y umaasa pa rin
makita kung ano ang nag-aantay

tayo'y umaasa
kahit ito'y walang kasiguraduhan
patuloy tayong naglalakbay
hanggang sa marating natin ang dulo

at kapag narating natin ang dulo
hindi natin alam kung ito'y maganda o hindi
pero sa huli'y tatanggapin
tatanggapin lang nang tatanggapin

Thought
Days past by
All I think of before was you
Then again, I guess I became blind again
How could I have been such?

I thought you were different
I thought what I see is what I knew
I trusted you
But, why?

You left me in believing
Believing in the idea of an us
I guess there is only you and me
Never will we have an us

What Are The Odds
I saw you walk down the street
20 meters from where I was
I caught your gazing eyes
And your sun-like smile

Our eyes met
I stopped, I staggered
Unable to move 1 inch closer to you
Yet, you moved 1 inch closer to me

I was hesitant
But you were not
You kept on walking towards my direction
I wanted to run away
But I know I couldn't
I couldn't run away from you

You knew I wanted to
But you held my hand
Your gentle press
Let me knew that it was fate
A fate for the both of us

To meet in this single space
In this time of day
In this very moment
That it was not a coincidence
Nor an accident for us

I know I may regret
Meeting you that day
But still, I didn't stop
And here we are now
I am the one walking towards you
And towards the fate we will forever be bounded to

My body becomes colder
Your warm touch kept me from freezing
Like the fireplace where we stayed that night

Shadow
I watch your shadow
Fade away with the dying light
And all i see now is darkness
The darkness I once knew and left
That now came back to me
I become alone again

The Moment
I remembered a moment
A moment of staring
You, me, looking each other in the eye
Was it just me or have I been captivated by your eyes?

I can’t stop thinking about you during my trip to home
Have I let my guard down again?
Have I made my way back to this roundtrip again?
Has he already captured me without warning?

Please heart, don’t beat for another guy again
Still, my heart refuses to listen
Please brain, stop thinking for another guy again
Still, my brain commanded me

I know I like him, but I just can’t face it
I know I want to know him more, but I am just afraid
I know I want to be something to him, but I am just too quiet
I know I want something to happen, but I am just starting
262 · Sep 2015
Forgotten
One night, I remembered something about you...
I remembered how we used to watch the stars together and laugh about silly and random things...
As the time passed by, things became different
We became different...
I guess that there is no such thing as permanent in this world

Letters
On a rainy day, I tried to write a letter for you
A letter to express my feelings for you
Should it be a love letter? Or a hurtful letter?
I don't even know

We used to write letters to each other
Letters which contain our little adventures for the day
A piece of paper full of words and emotions in it
In which I find it simply extraordinary

I can't even believe how a simple piece of paper can ignite a feeling
A feeling of love? Maybe
Because I used to look forward to your letters everyday
Looking forward on those simple words which brings me happiness

Sadly, our letters have come to an end
It is now just pieces of paper
Torn, faded, but still in possession
Just like my feelings for you

Sense
The night falls
Moonlight shining
Eyes widening
Cold and pale skin
Dry lips
Tangled hair
And all i see is you
Underneath the moonlight
Caressing my hair
Wetting my dry lips
Warming my cold and pale skin
Eyes closing
And all i can sense is you

My Platonic Love
It was for a short while
But i knew it was true
Though i knew you long before
I didnt know it is possible

I once thought that
Love will just come around
It did, yes but
Love can also be there

There, beside you
Just around your corner
Maybe a friend?
Maybe, you

You, my bestfriend
A platonic love
The kind of love that
No one can replace

Another kind of love
That sets you free
Be who you want to be
And still accepts you

I thank the stars
For meeting us, and
For having this kind of friendship
I love and cherish you always

Midnight Rain
As the clock hits 12
I thought of you once again
As the rain started to drop
My tears went with the rhythm

I hear the drops falling on the roof
Like the tears fell on my stained shirt
The clouds covering the night sky
Like the piled up tears on my eyes

I guess the gods know everything
Even down to my very emotion
A sudden rain on a midnight
In the midnight where i thought of you again

Boy
Boy
In those moments
I knew I was wrong
"Your life is almost perfect"
And in that cracked voice
And heavy breathing
You were in pain all along
Blinded by your unwavering smile
Your genuine laugh
Boy, I could only think how painful it has been

Just A Dream
I loved you like you were my world
Like how I used to look at the sky
With high hopes and dreams of you

How I used to daydream of you 24/7
Wanting to hold you tightly
And never letting you go

How I used to say I love you
With all my heart and soul
With all my love and feelings

But now, it's all just a big dream
You're now only a dream
And we're always going to be just a dream

Smile
as i write this poem for you
i remember the day i looked at you
and saw your smile, clear as day
i can't help but wonder
when will i ever see that smile again

days have passed, the more i see you
the more i want to get close to you
i held my breath
walked towards you
and ****, the world just seemed right

you smiled just how i saw you before
my heart melt, along with your gazing eyes
i could look at you all day
and never will my admiration fade

i hope one day
i can be the reason for your smile
and everyday, i shall make it appear
for it is also the reason for mine

My Love
In the midst of chaos
You are the silence
The comfort
The home I seek

My weary heart beats
Frantically; in times of
Distress, pain, and sadness
You are the calm for it all

Like the waves in the sea
Crashing against the shore
That finds its calm
Amidst the force

I love you with all my heart
My mind,
my body,
and my soul

Like the sunset
I look forward to you
Every single day
A beautiful scene and person

I hope that fate will be kind
And make our love everlasting
Every night, I wish upon a star
For a future and forever with you

My sunset
I miss my sunset
Reminding me of the days
I used to love, to see
At each passing time
How i wish it would never stop

Every moment with you
Every sunset with you
Is the most beautiful scene
And memory i obtain
Never will i wish to fade

All those dinner dates
Laughters and smiles
We exchange everyday
As the moon meets the sun
And the sky lights up with stars

I miss you everyday
Every sunset without you
Makes my heart ache a bit
I wish you see the same sunset
As i see, and reminds it of me

I want to be your sunrise
In every waking moment
I will be there with you
As how you will be with me
As the day ends for us

Rain
As i awoke to a heavy downpour
I felt a chill down my body
Coldness wrapping against my skin
Ice cold feet beyond my blanket

Turned around to see
A white wall against my face
Touched with my warm hands
Warm hands turned cold

As i hear the rain drops fall
My tears also did the same
Petrichor, it reminded me
Of the days shared with you
135 · Feb 2020
comfort
in the midst of the difficult world
in your presence, a comfort i long everyday
the arms that wrap around me
when you know i need it most
the silence we share
in the quiet corners of your room
a sudden laughter, echoing
for your spontaneous jokes
and annoying yet sweet conversations
your smile that lifts up
my restless being
every unexpected touch
as if it is saying you'll always be here
through the good and bad
of what we have and will
in you, i have found a home
a home that i wish to live on
for the coming days
and rest of my life

— The End —
