it's funny how it's always that person
when something random comes up
we think of them without reason
then your mood goes up

you'll feel happy sometimes
maybe even guilty when you're reminded
like this moment where i write rhymes
due to that person i remembered

it's a long way to your thought
but when it's ending, you realize
this person is not whom you must sought
then the thinking shall finalize

it's funny how it's always that person
sometimes you just can't help but fathom
you're being reminded in any season
then you wonder where does this come from

at the end of the day
one should always remember
rest and meditate in any way
the stress you should not bear

rest for it's what you deserve
rest because the day is over
rest for the day will swerve
rest because you need it more than ever

there are things you must say,
there are things you shall not
let your emotions sway
every word means a lot

yes it is freedom
an expression needed to be told
feelings in wham
thou shall not be bold

you shall always feel the need
to understand, to accept and to care
words enable people to bleed
a pain they would not be able to bear

brewing potion with ritual
reciting chants, merely verbal
niching these little caviar
a mixture of gravitas and war

such ladle so long enough to combine
a ******'s blood with a spoon of wine
perhaps adding a buckskin would suffice
this hellcat's hellacious bliss

a bushel of a misogynist's intestine,
must not forget to hitch gobs of sharks fin,
augment a pair of an old man's sight
then smatter the hogs' teeth bite

sing song this dark lullaby
you ought to hear plead and cry
smell and smear this fatal brew
any life it shall take and shoo

death will come and it will reign
blood will begrime and it will stain
thoroughly toting the daring deathly hex
seeking a prey who must be next

is it me or the atmosphere changed?
did the war suddenly wage?
how i wish these feelings would age
entrapped inside and caged

was it your affection that swayed me?
maybe its just my self, silly me
remembering that things arent easy
i know, this will pass, eventually

maybe i was not just thinking straight
or could it be just a bait?
should i stop or wait?
such feeling i cant hate

well, maybe its just my silly mind
giving meanings, i should just rewind
this sight might have gone blind
but lately, you're what these eyes find

echoes running thoroughly upon my head,
my my, these words i hear repeatedly said
lightning and thunder fumbling in my bed
a sight i see, the color red

the quiet resonance filling my ears
all that is left are cries and tears
sighed and breathed, no one hears
this halting life, in my mind, pierced

keep on screaming, they say
living always have a price to pay
so come what may
perhaps its too late to stay

you broke my heart.
but little did you know what you did was an art,
brushes and paint are all its part.
boy, you weren't that smart.

you made me feel ******,
but now you're acting like you're all harmed.
wounds and stabs were all planned.
boy, you should've known how to withstand.

when everything is too much to bear
and you think everything is falling apart in the air.
you must remember,
i'll always be there somewhere.
remind yourself and swear,
that everyone has the chance to repair.
sometimes we fall ensnare,
but one thing you should always forswear:
you are unique, you are rare
and you deserve all the care.

pain is a proof that we are alive.
that in any order, we always strive.
we sometimes contrive,
but we always remember to thrive.

we are willing to do anything just to survive.
in any deep seas, we are willing to dive.
even if it is pain that we derive.
for pain is a proof that we are alive.

mababa man o mataas ang lipad,
nagiisa ka sa himpapawid.
sana ay iyong matupad,
layunin **** matuwid.

ikaw ang agila,
tanyag at sikat.
ikaw ay aking maalala,
'pagkat ikaw ay tapat.

there's this creature,
everyone seems to have in nature.
it can attack like a vulture.
every mind, it can torture.

horror and futile.
weak and fragile.
in this, we're fatal.
this is crucial

aanhin mo ang bayang mayaman,
bayang maunlad at sapat,
kung patay na ang mamamayan,
at sa kalayaan ay salat.

ang pag-asa ng bayan,
ang tanging makapagbibigay ng kalayaan,
ani Rizal ay kabataan,
ngunit ngayon ay nasaan?

takbo mo'y karipas
sa bawat ahon na humahampas.
pinipilit tumakas
sa mga buhanging nakakalas.

ngiti mo'y di mapawi,
tingin ko'y di mawari.
sinasabi mo'y sari-sari,
buhok ko'y lagi **** hinahawi.

buntong hininga ang tanging ipinalit.
wala ka manlang bang kamalit-malit?
kama'y mo ay sa aki'y ikinawit,
sa akin ay ngumiti ka saglit.

pilit tinutugunan,
salita mo'y ako ay naambunan.
tayo'y nagtatawagan,
diri sa isang munting dalampasigan.

ikaw lamang ay maging masaya.
o aking sintang giliw, ako'y kuntento na.
makita kang nakangiti't tawa,
sa aki'y iyo'y sapat na.

I liked every street lights in your place,
the endless paradise you made me see,
every warmth of your embrace.
This locked heart of mine, you are the only key.

Girls were head over heels,
it was a long line.
Your stares give unfamiliar chills,
but why does it make me feel fine?

You see, I don't know you at all,
and I won't even bother to.
But then, your eyes are a symbol of call,
that makes me wanna question something about you.

The feeling was never different,
actually, it was the same.
But there's this electric current
whenever I hear your name.

So bear with me and my questions,
please answer them very clearly.
I need no hesitations
so please don't be wary.

Time passed and I felt longing.
How I miss that unfamiliar stare.
There, I realized everything,
what I have been feeling, what I have seen, was all a snare.

I have now learned,
that it was all entrapment.
I was snared,
by my own fulfilment.

sa gitna ng aking imahinasyon,
natagpuan ko ang aking sarili
na kasama't ika'y kayakap
sa isang estasyon.

sigaw ng drayber ang tanging ingay.
ngunit nakasentro ang aking tainga
sa'yong mga sinasabi.
minasdan kita habang sinasabing saki'y ayaw mo mawalay.

ngiti lang ang tanging maisagot ko
sa bawat salitang sinasambit mo.
pero naalala ko nga pala,
tanging imahinasyon lang pala ito.

i heard you treasure your anklet,
to lose it you won't let,
in that case, I wanna be that bracelet,
that you'll never forget

you say you love this band,
though I do not really understand.
but if you demand,
I'll let myself be ******

and you tell you like your coffee
with a little side of berry,
if so let me be your cherry
if only you just let me.

true enough I liked you first,
these feelings perhaps are cursed.
however even in your worst,
i'd still wanna be yours.

how can i forget
the first time our eyes met
my soul instantly left
even so, i do not regret.

ako'y nakakulong.
malayo sa tao,
malayo sa iyo.

ako'y nakakulong.
na tila ba dyamante,
na tila ba isang kayamanan.

ako'y nakakulong,
sa higpit ng hawak nila'y ako'y sakal na,
sa higpit ng taban nila'y ako'y sawa na.

ako'y nakakulong.
ako'y pagod na.
ako ay 'yong isalba.

oh what good would it do
if you knew I waited for you.
back at where we met
when things were all set

its true whenever I cry
i hear you crumble and sigh
and the looks I gave,
were just stares engraved

but darling, I do not expect.
i fear you'll go and reject
that I waited for that seven-hour flight
though I was frightened by the bite

Some time, let's hope we meet,
eyes to eyes, feet to feet.
When we do, we'll feel the heat,
we will lose all our senses and our wit.

Some time, let's try to knit,
every bad thing that can be it.
We both know there ain't a writ,
so let's just get coffee and have a sit.

Some time, I'll buy you meat.
Something that the hunger can hit.
Something in your tummy will fit.
Maybe, I, too, shall buy some wheat.

Some time, let's not just meet.
No eyes to eyes, no feet to feet.
Because when we do, instead of heat,
the coldness will be the one to remove our wit.
