the moment -
that I started writing poems for you,
that's when I knew,
deep inside my heart -
you're different from everyone else

take a deep breath
and take my hand,
let's defy the stars together
even though our efforts —
will remain futile until the end

melancholy lies
in follies we've done

we're not expressive in terms of actions,
we're not fond of kissing nor holding hands,
instead,
we're fond of words and poems -
we touch through words,
and kiss through exchange of poems

our happy memories
served as the ink of my pen,
that when I lost you,
I never got to write again

para sa'king sol,

ang nagsisilibing araw sa buhay ko,
para sa'yo itong tula,
hindi ko na papahabain pa
alam kong hindi tayo puwedeng magsabay
kaya't sa'ting paglayo sa isa't isa,
sana'y masaya ka,
at sa kabilang dulo ng mundo,
susubukan ko ring maging masaya
sa alaalang minsan tayong nagtagpo,
pero hindi talaga itinadhana

patuloy na nagmamahal,
luna

She was at the bottom of the ocean -
like a sunken city that no one bothered to look for.
She was found once by an amateur diver
But that diver can only settle with looking at her from afar -
For he neither knew how to dive deeper nor to explore further.
