Winter says why can't I bloom just the same?
Winter feels the rain
just as heavy as a window pane does
Winter waited to be a stemmed rose

Winter had the courage to turn into spring
Winter had succulent lips and smooth edged rims
so drunk on the memory
Winter tasted bittersweet

Ikaw ang kislap
Sa gabing madilim
Nagbibigay liwanag
Sa tuwing ika'y kapiling
Oh isang hiling
Sa maliwanag na ningning
Ng mga bituin
Na ika'y makapiling
Sa mga bawat lambing

To think about,
What lets me down
Don’t want the cycle to repeat
Oh I can’t go back in time now
To write my past down,
I fix what I’ve been destined to speak

your tortured touch
had torched my love
you poked the fun
i took the cut
no game of luck
we're scorched by sun
you poured for one
no cure, we're scarred
no score for us
you pulled the plug
you know we're done.

Make those core memories
Create that opportunity
Forge a path for yourself
Sky rocket those dreams of yours, little one

I know it that you’re into me
That crush of yours don’t fade so please
Either say how you feel and mess it up
or say nothing and let it mess you up instead of me
‘Cause you can’t leave things unsaid
Say it for the sake of peace

i'm not gonna stop loving us,
to be with you,
and in your arms
i fixed your broken heart

i could spell out your name with Christmas leaves
‘cause we danced like forever with them falling
and when winter came around,
we were in a snow globe moment
you blew a cold puff of air
i said to kiss me for real
in the gingerbread house that we built for ourselves

i wanna swim in your eyes and nap in your soul.

i love love
painful love
tender love
every bit of your love
love that stains
love that hurts
love that heals
love that you remember forever
and love that makes you forget
the only real truth in life
and reason being here

i bought my last pack of 24 candles
‘cause who’d forget to blow their birth years away
then realised i need one extra candle
for being 25..
but who’s keeping count?
my twenties are like entering a roundabout
‘til you exit the right way out
‘cause if you’re wondering
i’m twenty something,
and i stopped counting

-A Novel by me

Wasn't set for September
Uh-oh October’s already comin' over?
How is it nearly November?
Did you decide for December?
What yo jammin’ to in January?
I'm probably not free in February

ang Kulay ay atin
Na kahit anong tanong
Kaibigan natin

Ice hearts thaws
Freeze 'tll it falls
Shot 9 holes
All eyes in awe

Colours are ours
Sharing a 64 pack of crayons
Is this the Last Sun?
Cooler rays on ocean corals run

singing to make your voice dance
and dance to make your body sing
crying a happy-teary painting,
a more silent-loud kind of poetry-painting that speaks

Laid a path, only for you to leave
Won my heart, only for you to bleed
I saw blood through your sleeve

Set a trap, watching you fall in
Grabbed a mirror, only to catch you starin’
If love was a sin, i’d be willing

To bring a knife to a gun fight
Bow and arrow, instead of missiles
If the ****** weapon was me
It’ll prove love can be guilty
To break you out yet still keep you alive
Your getaway ride would be a tandem bike
If your alibi was me
It’ll still prove love can be guilty.

The world needs more women
To do the hard and holy things
We got enough women
To know how to do their face

'Cause the world we live in
Depends on real women
'And lil' women, be thinking,
To sleep is what keeps 'em pretty, but they'll age

I ain't preaching
But the Lord can be giving
Real women
Yes I still believe in
the women
Can I get an amen
For us women

it’s make or break
higher than the stakes
trial and error is what it takes
to get further day by day

Everybody’s feared to die
But it’s the way to heaven
What is it like inside my mind?
It’s a living hell
How is that a happy ending?
The pressure feels like I'm paralysed
Many road blocks and dead ends
But one thing that I go by in this life
Is living your mark, not a question,
But a dash.

Oh what a place of hope and of no pain
Perfect skies with no rain
Of endless happiness
No tears or even darkness

For nothing loved is ever lost, broken or sad
I am happy here, knowing that I made you glad
I will still remember in the lifetime we had
Doing life together, embracing both the good and bad

Though I could live and love in many past lives
Yet you were the only one I love and is truly mine
I will hold you dearly not only in our earthly life,
But also here in the afterlife

I’ll be watching you from a distance
Still loving you so relentless
Being with you in every instance
Hoping you’ll feel my love and presence

‘Til I wait for you here in paradise
Seek my shining angel light
Though I may have been taken away from you that night
God brought me home, resting by his side

To express is to truly live

You gave me a sign
When you came to me
You have set me free
And I will set you on high
Because you've known my name
God I want your way, not mine
You have set me free, tonight
God gave me a sign, tonight
God gave me wings to fly

Just think of me
for the last time
Then forget me
forget you
But your last words
are still dancing (in my head)
Your last kiss
is still lingering (on my lips)

I kept on calling
Like a song on replay
You promised me forever
but then walked away
Now my heart's still beating
to the sound o' your name
Just tell me why
can't we be together
