Isusulat kita.
Sa huling araw na masilayan ko
ang tamis ng ‘yong mga ngiti
at sa mapang-akit
**** mga labi.

Isusulat kita.
Habang nakikita ko pa
ang aking sarili
sa kislap ng ‘yong mga mata,
bago ka lumisan,
dahil matagal pa
ang ‘yong pagpihit
mula sa ibang daigdig.

Isusulat kita.
Sa mga titik at letrang
namumutawi sa aking bibig,
hindi ko hahayaang
malusaw na lamang
sa pagtakbo ng oras,
mabaon sa limot,
patungo sa karimlan.

Isusulat kita.
Habang tanaw pa natin
ang mapula-pulang sunset
na kakulay ng puso nating dalawa
at kayakap kita.
Yayakapin kita.
Hanggang sa magbubukang-liwayway
ang tanaw nating takipsilim.
Yayakapin pa kita.
Sana.

Isusulat kita.
Sa kailaliman ng gabi,
sa dilim,
sa nagsisidhing damdamin,
kung saan sinag lang ng buwan
ang tanging namamasadan,
at ang kayakap ko na lang
ay ang mga basang unan.

Isusulat kita.
Kasabay ng pagpigil
sa pagpatak ng luha
habang nakikita
ang ‘yong mga hakbang
paakyat sa bus dahil uuwi ka na.
Habang ang sinasakyan
ko namang dyip
ay papalayo ng palayo sa ‘yo,
ihahataid na
kung saan ako ngayon
ay iniisip ka.

Isusulat kita.
Ikaw ang ipaloloob
nitong aking akda,
bawat berso, bawat tugma,
ikaw ang nasa isip,
ang iisipin ulit
hanggang sa tumunog bukas
ang naka-set kong alarm
at magising na lang
na nasa malayo ka na.

the clouds
are dancing
beside the moonlight,

i can smell
the fragrance
of the sea breeze,

the wind blows
in sweetest rhythm
of how our hearts
beat when we're together,

the leaves sway
like we hold
each other's hands,

lying in the sand,
i realized,
we never grow up,
we're always
too young
to fall in love

eat me alive

in the darkest
coldest
part of the night

the moon
will not
haunt you

nor follow
your footsteps
in the midst
of our
love's demise

i can smell
your flesh
from afar

eat me alive

i'd rather
be dead
than being
alone

Trying to light a candle
through the darkest of nights,
writing a love poem
in the middle of the fight.

The moon is drawn closer
to every foolish tears,
and the sound of silence
is now gone in a blink.

It is hard to hold you
forever in my arms,
but in every failure,
are the things we learned.

I might not forget you,
even the dawn is sunset again,
in the pale moonlit night,
you are my favorite kind of pain.

Oo. Totoo.
Hindi mo na kailangan ipagsigawang mahal mo ako,
na aakyat pa sa rurok ng bundok
para isigaw ang pangalan ko,
at ipahayag ang nilalaman
ng damdaming nagsisidhi,
sapat na sa akin
ang ibulong mo ang mga salitang ‘yan
na nais kong marinig
mula sa mapang-akit **** mga labi.

Hindi mo kailangang ibase ang nararamdaman mo
sa sinasabi ng ibang tao,
dahil hindi natin kailangan ng kanilang opinyon
para umibig nang wagas
o hanggang sa dulo ng mundo,
hindi sila ang dumidekta
sa kung sino man ang ititibok nitong puso,
hindi natin kailangan ng kanilang opinyon.
Hindi.

Hindi mo kailangan ipagsigawang mahal mo ako
na sa lahat ng date na ating mapuntahan
ay kailangang pag-usapan ng mga kaibigan mo,
o libo-libong litrato ang ipo-post mo,
dahil ayaw ko lang mawala
ang pagiging pribado ng ating relasyon,
sapat na sa akin
ang itago mo ang mga litratong ‘yan,
at titigan pauli-ulit
kapag miss na natin ang isat-isa.

Hindi mo kailangang ma-insecure sa iba,
hindi ko sila papatulan,
hindi ko sila papansinin,
hindi kita niligawan
nang mahigit isang taon para saktan lang,
wala akong **** sa kanila,
ikaw ang mahal ko,
oo, mahal kita,
at tanggap ko kung sino ka,
kung anong mayro’n at wala sa’yo,
dahil mahal kita.
Mahal na mahal,
hindi mo kailangang ma-insecure.
Hindi.    

Lahat ng bagay, ay aking gagawin,
dahil hindi lang magtatapos ang aking “mahal kita”  
sa bawat letra ng mga salitang
namumutawi sa aking bibig,
hindi ito isang antigong alahas  
na susuotin lamang sa mga piling okasyon,
pagkatapos ay itatago sa kahon,
at kakainin ng alikabok sa lilipas na mga taon,
mamahalin kita kahit sa ano mang panahon:
tirik man ang araw sa pagtawa
o kulimlim man ang gabi sa pag-iyak.
Mahal kita.
Mahal na mahal,
at hindi lang magtatapos ang aking “mahal kita”
sa mahal lang kita,
kukunin ko ang mga agiw sa ‘yong mga lumang gunita,
pilit kong wasakin ang mga pader
na nakaharang sa ating dalawa.    

Hindi mo kailangan ipagsigawang mahal mo ako,
sapat na sa akin ang pagsanay sa sarili
sa ‘yong presensya at pagkandili,
sapat na sa akin ang pag-intindi mo
sa mga kamaliang pilit **** binabayo,
mga pagkukulang na pilit **** pinupunan,
at sa mga araw na kahit luha ang nalalasap
ay patuloy ka pa ring nakahawak sa aking mga kamay
at hindi mo ito binitawan.

Hindi mo kailangan ipagsigawang mahal mo ako,
pumasok ka sa pinakakasulok ng aking utak,
nang mabatid mo ang mga nakasulat,
nakalimbag sa bawat pahina ng aking isip:
ililibot kita,
sa aking nakaraan,
sa aking ngayon
at sa aking bukas,
ilalahad ang pag-aasam na makatakas
sa mga kabiguang natanaw.
Sisirin natin ang pinakailalim ng aking puso,
dito matatagpuan ang pag-ibig
na kailanman hindi mabubura,
hindi maglalaho, para sa nag-iisang ikaw.

Hindi mo kailangan ipagsigawang mahal mo ako,
hindi na kailangan,
dahil alam ko, d’yan sa puso mo,
nakaukit rin ang pangalan ko,
at ang pag-iibigan nating dalawa,
hindi mo na kailangan ipagsigawan pa
dahil alam kong mahal mo rin ako.
Mahal mo ako.  
Mahal na mahal.

Hindi po kami mga kriminal,
kami po nagpapakain sa kanila,
bigas po ang aming hiningi
hindi mga bato at bala.

Pero pilit naming isusubo
ang mga bato at bala
na inyong hinihain,
pilit naming inumin
ang dugo na may kasamang
pawis namin.

Pipilitin po namin,
dahil hindi po kami
mga kriminal.

Show me love on hundred waters
that drowned me closer to you,
show me the moon and stars
hidden on the night's shadows.
Show me cruelty on every mistake
that made you realized my worth,
show me tears when you leave,
and I will stay, waiting for you.

Our hearts are burning with fire
we meant to ignite in the dark,
our eyes are bewitched with lies,
we never mind, we lost the spark.

Show me care on purl stitches,
trying to cover every pain,
show me my wings and wishes
so I could move on and fly again.
Show me love on hundred waters
that drowned me closer to you,
and tell me it is over now,
tell me, so I can let you go.

When you thought lies
are better to be heard
than the truth,
when you close your eyes
but you could not still
find paradise.

When life are full of scars
and words do not
rhyme at all,
when you feel jaded,
when you feel cheated,
never let go.

True love finds
its way to hold on,
just hold still,
you are just broken
but not lost.

This love you watched
born in the fire of everything
that is destructive,
you knew the changes
but you welcomed the chaos.

When you tried to forget
all the memories,
but you failed,
when all the beauty
inside your world
turned into madness.

When you fear
for the moon
to disappear tonight,
when you feel jaded,
when you feel cheated,
never let go.

True love finds
its way to hold on,
just hold still,
you are just broken
but not lost.

We dreamed about the future
and we forgot yesterday,
the pains in our earthly life;
Heaven has the remedy.
Along the angels singing
the songs of love,
believing they exist
is believing to God.
We dreamed about the future
but the future is today,
stop thinking about what ifs
and accept what is.

Hysterical.

They hate us,
when they also talk
about destinies.
People are fond
of breaking hearts
then fixing it.

We will build castle
out of the bricks
they threw at us.
Love is beyond
any beautiful scenery
in the world.

Never let go
of the things
for the unknown.
They have hatred,
we have love;
we are love.

Isang minuto,
kahit isang minuto lang,
para matitigan ko pa ang kislap
ng iyong mga mata,
isang minuto,
isang minuto lang,
pipilitin ko lang maramdaman
ang pintig ng iyong pusong
sumigaw ng mahal mo ako,
isang minuto,
isang minuto pa
para tanggaping imposibleng
maging tayo.

Oo, mahal kita,
susulitin ko ang bawat minutong
hawak-hawak ko pa
ang iyong mga kamay,
mahal kita,
at patuloy kitang mamahalin
hanggang sa maubos man ang tinig
o ang ating himig,
mahal kita
at sana'y minahal mo rin ako.

Isang minuto,
isang minuto lang bago ako umalis,
isang minuto
para mahagkan ka muna,
isang minuto para masabi sa'yo
ang bawat katagang nakaukit
sa pinakakasulok ng aking puso,
mga katagang nais maipabatid
itong nahihikahos na damdamin,
mga emosyong mahirap ipaliwanag,
at bawat bugso ng gunitang
nasa bahaging ang meron lang
ay ikaw at ako,
pero walang tayo,
mga gunitang kahit ilang takipsilim
man ang lumipas,
di pa rin kayang mabura
o kahit man lang
matangay ng mga luha.

Mahal kita,
at patuloy kitang mamahalin,
dito sa mundong walang kasiguraduhan,
ako'y maghihintay pa rin,
isang minuto,
isang minuto lang
bago ako bumitaw,
oo, bibitaw ako,
pero di ibig sabihing di na kita mahal,
iiwan ko lang ang puso ko,
bibitaw ako dahil
kahit gaano  pa kasakit
ang makita kang masaya sa piling ng iba,
hangad ko lang
ang iyong kaligayahan sa piling niya,
lalayo ako para lumaya ka,
lalaya ka at lalayo papalapit sa kanya,
pero isang minuto lang,
oo, isang minuto pa,
at pagkatapos nito'y kakalimutan na kita.

Isang minuto,
kahit isang minuto lang,
para matitigan ko pa ang kislap
ng iyong mga mata,
isang minuto
para marinig ko pa ang boses
mula sa mapang-akit **** mga labi,
isang minuto,
isang minuto lang
para maramdaman ko pa
ang pintig ng iyong pusong
sumisigaw ng mahal mo ako.

Oo, mahal kita,
susulitin ko ang bawat minutong
hawak-hawak ko
ang iyong mga kamay,
sa mga panahong
nanatili ka pa ring matatag
sa di natin napagkakasunduang
mga bagay-bagay,
mahal kita,
at patuloy kitang mamahalin
hanggang sa maubos man ang tinig
o ang ating himig,
basta pangako,
kailanma'y di maglalaho
itong aking pag-ibig.

Isang minuto,
isang minuto lang bago ako umuwi,
isang minuto para masabi sa'yo
ang bawat katagang nakaukit
sa pinakakasulok ng aking puso,
mga katagang nais maipabatid
itong nagsisidhing damdamin,
mga emosyong mahirap ipaliwanag,
at bawat bugso ng gunitang
nasa bahaging ang meron lang
ay ikaw at ako,
tayo,
at wala ng iba,
di natin kailangan ng kanilang opinyon,
para lumigaya.

Mahal kita,
at patuloy kitang mamahalin sinta,
dito sa mundong walang kasiguraduhan,
nakakasiguro kang minamahal kita,
di kita bibitawan,
di kita pababayaan,
sasamahan kita
maging sa gitna man ng ulan,
isang minuto lang,
oo, isang minuto pa,
at pagkatapos nito'y mas mahal na kita.

Paper boat on the river,
sailing, hoping it could take
his dreams into the horizons.

Paper boat of a kid, smile —
in every breath of innocence;
no rules, no lies, no fears.

And it was gone, drowned —
lost in heartaches and tears;
living is accepting failures.

Then he made another one,
hoping it could sail once again —
but it is not the same anymore.

I have spent much time
on daydreaming,
I forgot things
I should have written,
words I supposed to pen
in the blank space,
are now gone —
gone as the night sleeps.

Becoming unknown,
from those fantasies I built,
the heart speaks —
when lips unvoiced by guilt,
for those lovely words
were now forgotten by time,
forgotten by my mind,
forgotten by the night.

In the fire of the night,
let the spark brings light,
let our love burns together,
I will help you lose your fears.

The beauty of the moon,
kisses on our love songs,
filled my heart with love,
butterflies in my stomach.

The time is our only enemy,
I will take your sadness away,
to every twilight of the moment,
I will never let you be broken.

In the fire of the night,
let the spark brings light,
let our love burns together,
I will help you lose your fears.

You can never be mine,
you are just a memory
of once yesterday.
Created by love,
destroyed by love.
I accept it.
Even in the hardest times,
but I have to let you go,
and let you see the world
without me,
and let me find
the missing piece of this heart,
that I thought
I already found in you.

This one's not gonna end,
bury my heart
if you'd love someone else.

Take my tears, I can't pretend,
let the world know
I'm afraid to lose you.

This day, I hope no one but you,
will stand beside me
in the midst of sorrow.

But if you'd leave me,
leave me dead
in the forest nowhere to be found.

This one's not gonna end,
bury my heart
if you'd love someone else.

Igapos mo ako
sa lilim na 'yong puso,
at doo'y liliwanag
ang damdaming nakatago.
Na sa gabing alitaptap lamang
ang masulyapan,
tutubuan ng pakpak
ang pag-ibig na natagpuan.

Lilipad kasabay ng mga ulap
at hindi na halos maabot,
sa kulog o kidlat ma'y
hindi natatakot.
Na handang suongin
kahit malakas na hangin,
upang pakpak nito'y nakalatag
pa rin sa papawirin.

Mapadpad man tayo
sa lawak ng dagat,
mga puso natin doo'y
maglalayag.
Na tayo'y sabay dadaong
sa ating mga pangarap,
na sa dako paroo'y
naghihintay at umaandap.

Oo.
Totoo.
Hindi mo kailangan ipagsigawang mahal mo ako
na aakyat pa sa Bundok Apo
para isigaw ang pangalan ko
at ipahayag ang damdamin mo,
sapat na sa akin
ang ibulong mo ang mga salitang
nais kong marinig
mula sa mapang-akit **** mga labi.

Hindi mo kailangang ibase ang nararamdaman mo
sa sinasabi ng mga tao,
dahil hindi natin kailangan
ng kanilang opinyon
para umibig hanggang
sa dulo ng mundo,
hindi sila ang dumidekta
sa kung sino man ang ititibok nitong puso,
hindi natin kailangan
ng kanilang opinyon.
Hindi.

Hindi mo kailangan ipagsigawang mahal mo ako
na sa lahat ng date
na ating mapuntahan ay kailangang
pag-usapan ng mga kaibigan mo,
o libu-libong pictures ang ipopost mo,
dahil ayaw ko lang mawala
ang privacy ng ating relasyon,
sapat na sa akin
ang itago mo ang mga larawang yan,
at titigan pauli-ulit
kapag miss na natin ang isat-isa.

Hindi mo kailangang mainsecure sa iba,
hindi ko sila papatulan,
hindi ko sila papansinin,
hindi kita niligawan
ng mahigit isang taon para saktan lang,
wala akong pake sa kanila,
ikaw ang mahal ko,
oo, mahal kita,
at tanggap ko kung ano ka,
kung anong meron at wala ka,
dahil mahal kita,
mahal na mahal,
hindi mo kailangang mainsecure.
Hindi.

Hindi mo kailangan ipagsigawang mahal mo ako,
sapat na sa akin
ang pag-intindi mo sa mga kamaliang
pilit **** binabayo,
mga pagkukulang
na pilit **** pinupunan,
at mga araw na luha
ang nalalasap
ngunit patuloy ka pa ring
nakahawak sa aking mga kamay
at hindi mo ito binitawan,
kahit pa hintotoro na lang
ang iyong nahahawakan
pero pilit mo pa rin akong inaangat.

Hindi mo kailangan ipagsigawang mahal mo ako,
hindi na kailangan,
dahil alam ko,
dyan sa puso mo,
nakaukit rin ang pangalan ko
at ang pag-iibigan nating dalawa,
hindi mo na kailangan ipagsigawan pa
dahil alam kong mahal mo rin ako.
Mahal mo ako.
Mahal na mahal.

Holy is Your Name,
Author of Salvation,
hear my soul crying,
catch my spirit falling.

Wash my sadness away,
hurt my eyes to praise,
Jesus, You are all I need
forever is all I embrace.

Guide me into the woods,
ignite the fire in my heart,
a heart that once was lost;
peace my mind at war.

Love for the sinners,
light for the shadows,
sunshine in the thunder,
these are all I ask from You.

Lead me to Your path,
I hide my fears and rejoice,
take me with Your grace,
and I follow your voice.

I call upon You now, Jesus,
on these bended knees,
hear our soul crying,
catch our spirit falling.

Love for the sinners,
light for the shadows,
sunshine in the thunder,
these are all I ask from You.

Sometimes, love
can hurt you
like a sunburn
in Sahara.

I've missed being drowned
in the sweet smell
of your perfume;
the phantom
of the past
haunts me,
I'm all alone.
Tell me, how can I
see the street lights
with you again,
when I'm here,
at the corner,
watching you kissing him?

we were lying down on the grass,
watching the beauty of the sky;
she had her eyes on the stars,
i had my eyes on my world

Pen me a thousand verses
of hatred, of love, of peace;
pen me a thousand verses,
o'er those clouds of sorrows.

Pen me a thousand verses
to sail the ocean of emptiness,
accept failures of bygone days,
for there is always tomorrow.

Cry the most beautiful pain,
pen a thousand verses again;
shadow of fears will then end,
moon will illumine the night.

Pen verses for a heart to mend,
profound words are explained,
'nother chapter of life will begin;
pen verses of the journey's fight.

I put myself in a bottle,
throw it into the sea;
in the midst of this battle,
waves crashes over me.

Waiting for blinding sun
and cold light of day,
troubles, weigh a ton,
take my fears away.

I am alone in horizon,
from morn till even;
my life only begun
in Your Heaven.

I'm not afraid
of dying,
but of living,
yes, living,
it scares me.

Of losing someone,
of everything,
of living
in nothingness,
and in pain.

It scares me
to know,
that life isn't fair,
of people's judgment,
where is freedom?

You live in the world
of broken dreams,
of broken vows,
and of broken wings.

I'm not afraid
of dying,
but of living,
of losing someone
you love.

Standing
on this bridge,
it reminds of you,
of the things
we used to talk about,
and only I could hear
is the sound
of your voice.

It seems odd
it is so quite now,
only I could hear
is the lonely waters
of the river,
keep flowing
until the end,
never knew
they will be lost
in the ocean,
like I lost you.

There is a castle
on my mind,
thoughts
are unexplained,
mysteries
deep within;

but whenever
I write,
leads confusion
to imprint;
a poet's pen
evokes concealed
feelings.

Sometimes,
you just need
to be unkind
to be kind.

he loves to drink,
he loves his liquor
so dearly,
but my nights
are nightmares

i'm in ruins,
mama and papa
are already dead,
they left me
in my uncle's cage

pain seems forever,
tears in every
silent scream,
i can't run,
my days are fallen

he loves his liquor,
and one night
when he slept
in the couch,
i got the chance!

a long match and
a flammable *****
in my hands,
the house burns
with him, and i smile

I'm not gonna miss you,
you are always
in my mind,

when I fall asleep
at night,
I will just remember
we lay under
the same stars.

I will take a piece
of your beating heart,
and make it mine,

so when we are apart,
I will not be alone;
you may be far
but never gone.

I'm not gonna miss you,
but your kisses and hugs,
your smiles that struck
like lighting
in my eyes,

I'm not gonna miss you,
but the way
you make my days
complete,
those feelings
that always bring me
to my knees.

Love me like no distance
can ever tear us apart,
Love me like the moon,
shines for the stars.

Love me like there is
no tomorrow,
Love me forever and I will
grow old with you.

Love me like the night,
dies every morning to breathe,
Love me like you can never
love someone else.

there are so many mirrors,
every memories I know
every street I go

they try to denounce me,
pull me down,
pull me down

i'm lack of existence,
lack of experience,
lack of senses

there are so many mirrors,
i can't break through them,
they try to break me in

my eyes are dead at night,
my heart burns like ice,
my heart burns like ice

my heart was embezzled
by these emotions,
I became dumb,
couldn't tell people
what's wrong

my eyes are parched,
no tears at all;
I'm incarcerated,
stuck in this puzzle
I can't solve

I feel loved and unloved
every single day,
I just want to see the world
without heart breaks

my treasure, someday,
might vanished,
throwned in the depth
of the ocean,
where no map
can find it

I'm helpless, with some
of these useless emotions,
I feel loved and unloved
every single day

No matter what you
did right,
you might still be
in ruins.
You can always drown
in tears at night,
dog days will be over,
be enlightened.

Some people will look
for your mistakes,
and will try to cage you
in darkness.
Some might take you
for granted,
and will hurt you so bad,
be careful love.

Nothing is really perfect,
only imperfectness;
clear your eyes, smile,
pray for forgiveness.
Never give up to those things
you always wanted to do,
there will always be antagonists
in your life.

Good morning love,
wake up and rejoice;
share the rainbow
in your heart.
Never mind the mirrors
in the world,
they are just jealous
of who you are.

As I lay me down to sleep,
I can't get you
out of my head.

Come run with me
to forever,
I'll hold your hands
till we grow older.

Smile when my eyes
are frozen,
because they're all frozen
for you.

Kisses might be far too soon,
but I'll be waiting,
our hopes and dreams
are ever in our destiny.

Let me take you
to the edge of all heartaches,
and show you
how beautiful it is
to be with.

Take this love of mine
wherever you go,
no, I don't even call it love,
I call it Geronimo.

We are slaves of the night,
thinking,
forever may not exist.

I failed, I stumbled,
but you were there
to remind me of tomorrow.

I may not be perfect,
but my heart
burns like ice.

We are slaves of the night,
you and I
are living stories.

Our destinies suddenly intertwined,
our souls point the way to our hearts,
I don't care why we met,
the only thing I know
is that I fell under your spell.

The hand I grab
says I won't leave you,
I'll never leave you dear,
I can promise everything now
because there's no tomorrow.


Can you hear something echoing
louder than words?
I'll never waste this chance,
my love will forever be
in your resonance.

Selfie here. Selfie there.
Selfish people ---
all I can see.
All I can hear.
