Therefore, methinks that...

...unlike charges repel,
         somehow, like charges attract.

one plus one...

          ...equals one,

two minus one...

          ....equals zero.

Jeez...

        you're always barking a wrong person.

                                        Stop it!
                                                           Enough!

With all these words
     I'm trying to utter right now,
With all these words
     I'm asking deep inside my heart;
With all these words
     I really want you to hear;
With all these words
     that come from
     the highest atmosphere.

I'm missing you,
     do you miss me too?
I need you,
     do you need me too?
I care for you,
     do you care for me too?
I love you...
     and would you hug me
     and say, you do?

Hahay...
anaa lagi koy dakong balay
apan wala gayud tawoy
bisan jutay'ng kalipay,
walay oras nga dili
maglantugi
hiniktan ang kalinaw
ug dili gayud makaipsot
sa adto nga pisi

dako lagi ug balay
apan wala gayud gugma
dako nga balay
apan ang kagubot
dili gayud
mahilona,
daghan lagi nga k'warta
nga natagamtaman
ning mga kamot
apan pubri ra gihapon
magasige lang sa mug-ot
daghan lagi ug suga
nga makit-an
apan kung tarungon
ug lantaw
ngit-ngit pa sa alkitran

maypag wala nalay
dakong balay
kung ing-ani man galing
maypag wala nalang
kung mao ra kini ang
makasamad sa akong
kasing-kasing.

'Tis end of the world...

                   ...after ice and fire collide.

...

The

                                                                        ...

The very first day we met
     is a boomerang on my mind,
and every time I'm drawn to your pictures
     I remember your angelic face
          which I let myself be enraptured.

We are captured
     by the unexpected love story,
     by the unexpected happiness,
     by the unexpected smiles,
     by the unexpected moments,
     by the unexpected time.

(You make me love you now and then,
your presence means Heaven,
And if I will have to choose one
     from thousands of women,
I'll swear to God to have you again).

We are sharing this valley of love,
whence, I hope us to stay forever
     (continue reigning my heart).
Thank you for filling up the gaps of my fingers;
     if you will be drifted away,
          I'll be drowned from that ocean of tears.

Your sweet little eyes,
     (looking forward for more  memories)
your wide open arms,
     (accepting the way I used to be)
and your red rosy lips
     (touching my heartfelt gratitude).

I found it awkward for these affections to rely,
     but believe me,
          loving you is one of the perfect moments
               in my life.

What dragging us to cold anguish...


                   ...is this loud silence.

Bawat hakbang sa buhay na aking tinatamasa
binibilang ko't, nag-aasam ika'y makasama;
wari'y may 'sang tinig na nagsasabing hintayin ka
dahil sa pangakong binitawan mo sa 'sang umaga.

Ni walang bagay na maihahambing sa 'yo,
sakripisyo't hinagpis, alay ko sa kahapong bigo:
puso'y nangangamba, mababalikan pa ba kaya
dahil sa pangakong tinatanghali na't, wala ka pa.

Tambad sa 'king isipan, nag-iisang ikaw
pawang pag-asang makita ka lang sa pagdungaw:
isipa'y kaygulo kung nasaan ka na, aking sinta;
ang pangakong dapit-hapon na't, batid na yaring mga luha.

not all black
     are Evil;
not all white
     are God.

Empty words from empty tongue;
empty thoughts from empty minds.

Your eyes doesn't convey the phrases
you're trying to speak;
you're talking so much without understanding it,
and you're just playing safe.

Distorted.
Your actions are torturing me.
Exploded.
From being imprisoned of that loud silence.

Even if you kneel for forgiveness;
even if you say thousands of apologies.

(It's fin'lly over!)

Each story of yours seems so unsound,
and I'm done accepting you (over and over again).
You left me hanging with no regrets,
guess what?!
I'm sick and tired crying bottles of tears.

Stand up!
Just burn yourself by the coldness of the ice!
You can do noting now,
when your sorry is not enough.

(It's fin'lly over)

Leave me alone with
no arguments,
and
no questions,
for I've given you already so many chances before.

The day...
     we met,
          was a
               boomerang
                    on my mind.

Love is but a game;
manipulations of emotions are required.

Pag-ibig na, nasa dulo nitong aking dunong
Sagutin mo na sana ang nag-iisa kong tanong:
Ikaw ang hamog sa t'wing pagbubukang-liwayway,
Tinig na nais maulinigan kapag ako'y nalulumbay.

Ika'y rosas na kaybangong samyuhin,
'Sang inaasam na panaginip na nais ulit-ulitin;
Hanging kay lamig damhin sa paglipas ng araw,
Ngunit 'sang alapaap naman na 'di ko halos matanaw.

Ika'y tulang muli't muli ay binabasa ng madla,
Na 'di makakalimutan; na 'di mabaon sa alaala
Tulang puno ng damdamin na ni 'di maipabatid,
Ngunit 'sang saknong naman na hindi magkatugma.

Mithiin ko'y mapansin mo na ang aking mga ginagawa:
Itong pag-ibig na nasa dulo ng aking ligaya,
Mithiin ko'y sagutin mo na ang tanong kong nag-iisa,
Nadarama mo rin ba ang lahat ng napaloob nitong aking tula?

Sa paglakaw niining mga gabon
sa kalangit-on
Sama sa isa ka pagbaklay kauban ka
padulong ngadto sa kalipayon
Ang bidlisiw sa adlaw kanunay
gayud sa atoa nga magasiga
Kay ikaw sa tunhay mao
ang akong gugma.

Wala ko namatyagan nga ikaw mubaot
niining akong kinabuhi
Wala ko usab damha nga ang akong
kasing-kasing sa imo diay mulingi
Karon, ang dagat dili
na hintawon parat
Kay ikaw man ang akong gugma, busa dili
gayud tika ipahilak.

Ang matag-gabii nako, karon dili
na matugnaw
Mahitungod sa imong gugma nga sa tanan
gayud nagpatigbabaw
Ang gubot nga butang ginabag-o mo,
ikaw ra gayud akoa
Ug ikaw ginahigugma ko kagahapon, karon
og hangtod sa ugma.

Sa mainit mo nga mga gakos, sa matam-is
**** mga halok
Sa maanyag **** pagngisi, mawagtang
diritso ang akong pagkalagot
Gikinahanglan taka sama sa hangin,
tubig ug uban pa
Kay ikaw sa tunhay mao
ang akong gugma.

Dili na ako mulambinggit pa ngadto sa
uban nga dalan
Kay nagakuyog naman kita nga nagalakaw
nganhi sa kahangturan
Paminawa ang tanan ko nga gipangsulti
kay tinuod kani sila
Nganong mamakak man lugar ako, nga ikaw man
sa tunhay mao ang akong gugma.

Honestly,
you simply fill up
the gaps of my fingers.

Burning like ice.
          Cold like fire.
                    Somehow,
                              planets will collide.

Poetry?
When could I write good,
hollow
thoughts were burned.

Well, "Life" is a palindrome.

Don't forget to move backward.

Calling you a stupid
is an insult
to stupid people.

the leaf
makes
the rose
beautiful
and not
the flower

We have imagined the world
beyond these curtains and proven...

..."Life" is a palindrome.

Snakes are killing worms,
without knowing
victory can only be seen by two naked eyes.

Somehow, we were born to die.

The sun has been covered with heavy clouds
which define the ocean to be dark,

the wind helps our boat we sail
yet the breeze is now singing melancholy.

The rainbows are not always colorful
if we choose to walk through
these vacuous and winding roads
for each regret travels always after the dead-ends;

and these wraiths inside our heads
forbid us to notice that

the morning dew suddenly taste sour
and seconds immediately turned to hours.

Perhaps, we, humans, have never learnt
to count the time we wasted.

it may such just a little thing,
yet it can end any sentences,
can caught any attentions
and can stop any questions

it may symbolize
any feelings:
sad,
angry,
or confused

this dot is important
just like anything
in this world,

for it doesn't matter
how big or small
a thing is...

...it's how we give meaning to it.

I keep on thinking...



why do some people leave
someone hanging?
.
.
.
and just let them cry with a

?

or an

!

or a

,

and not a

.

Staring at the ceiling
trying to hide from mem'ries
we've been through
now, I'm free from tears,
but why can't I still forget you?

Your shadow crossed mine
but it never took so long,
your lips touched mine,
your arms wrapped around me,
and then left here so alone.

Why did you go away?
When I've almost given ev'rything.
I trusted you.
I forgave you.
Why?

I'm free from being intoxicated.
I'm free from being insane
but why am I still looking after you,
thinking where have you been?

Free.
Yes! I'm free!

That's what I believe.
I don't know if I'm lying
or what.

But at the end of the day,
I keep on running from the past,
I keep on rememb'ring some mem'ries of us
and it brought me...

...not totally free.

I write.
I hide.
My parents never knew I make poetry
and every time they ask me:
"It's already late in the evening,
why are you still awake?"
I lied.

I burnt scratch papers of my poems
into million ashes,
'cause they are too many to keep.

It has almost been six years since
I started expressing my thoughts in my pens,
still my parents never knew I make poetry.
I just don't like them to know!
I hope they will be proud of me,
of their son.

So I burnt scratch papers of my poems
into million ashes,
to keep this as a secret.

I write.
I hide.

tik tok...
tik tok...

as the sound of the clock,

always reading between the lines
my regrets,
my tears,
my regrets

tik tok..
tik tok..

caught in the middle,
can't solve every life's riddle

always up against the walls,

tik tok...
tik tok...

as the sound of the clock,

alas!
no!
alas!

when the day becomes another day
all I can hear in my ears is

tik tok...
tik tok...

Eftsoons, thee would fain depart and chasten thy chance
Meseems to be fond of thou beloved with fears:
Harken thy anacreontic jovial at once,
For whosoever conveys love shall drown on tears.
Thee may not ratify affections I bestowed;
Each morn may bring no reasons to behold the sun.
Yon enigmatic events has come and winnowed
Beseech, to cease the fires, afore thy love has gone.
Somehow, blossoms will wither, as rivers will dry
Mayhap, thy heart I own shall be shattered in twain,
Welkin rings, pearls cannot retrieve ev'ry goodby
Maimed and futile; whence, no one can withstand the pain.
If these velvet ropes would seize thine eyne twixt the thrill,
Utter prayers, for Heaven would burn me in hell.

Lost in the woods,
I was lost before:
but I already escaped,
now, I'm already free;
riding on my steed
to go back home,
it takes an hour
to feel complete again,
but these winding roads
took me quite certain;
lost in the woods,
I am lost again,
a place for wilderness,
a place for nothingness:
finding my way out
my steed is dead,
loneliness covered my heart
now, walking so alone
wait for me. someday
I'll be coming home.

I am in penury; exhausted from these burdens of life,
Forever a loser? For I have never won yet a price.
I will not wrangle, I let them stoop at me so low
And I accept this discernment, for I have nothing to lose.

I do not have buoyancy to stay afloat in waters,
Scarcity of respect? Well, I am just nobody from nowhere
And I do not have puissance to climb any highest peak,
Also, pity words for them, for this tongue to be a speech.

Years were gone, still I cannot be an escapee for this maze,
Always in the midst of dimness since I have seen my face,
But I dream for that flare which will illuminate the pains,
With this persistence I own, I will search for it again.

I am nobody, and I am from nowhere, but I am me;
Being a stoic may not heal the wounds but can cool the flame.
If someday, people will glance at me standing on the top,
Hope to find not only that richness, but also that peace and love.

one heart.
one love.
one God.
one voice.
one nation.
one world.

This land upon each foot of yours walked, might be so cruel,
And you cannot be a deaf for those guffaws from everywhere:
Wherein, from that voyage of foolishness they live to prove,
Lies the night behind, for they are blinded from the truth.

Keep breaking the walls which hinder to once greatest moment,
Soon, will be freed from asphyxiation, after they realize your existence
Do not prolong your agony; they are just a bunch of stupid creatures
For there will be someone to hold you on your dejected hours.

True beauty can be sought by the heart; never by the eyes,
Let your thoughts alter the pain and foresee but frozen fires,
Cry for tears; they are trying to break your broken wings
Someday, you will be fled into the azure skies to exalt everything.

So, wake up each morn to taste the sweetness of the dew
For what sudden image you can behold in the mirror is really you.

Admit yourselves; you are unpleasant
     as you seem!
But someday, you'll have the essence
     of being clean.

darkness.
wounded.
helpless.
confusions.
abandoned?
abhorrence!
d­estined?
disgraceful!
prolonged.
justice!
forgotten?

I can't promise much,
I may not be the one you ever need,
And I may not know what's running on your mind...

But guess what?

I will be here for you
     until hell freezes...

Sir, I'm in front of you to tell that
     I do love your daughter,
And I never have a rehearsal to what words
     to be uttered.
Sir, I'm here to be transparent
     about a love I found,
I'm just nervous, so please don't feel
     my voice to be unsound.

Sir, I'm asking your princess' hands;
     your princess is your precious gem:
I love her not just because I love her;
     I will make her my queen.
Sir, she stained my heart with love;
     sir, I hope you understand
I will never leave her alone, we'll be together
    walking on the strands.

Sir, please don't cast away your eyes
     from this name I owned,
I never have a replica of my love for her,
     your daughter is the only one I long.
Sir, the fact is irrevocable, I love her
     and she loves me
And the church will be the witness
     about these things I'm saying.

If I need to kneel on the floor
     and beg for the chances,
Sir, I will never doubt to do it, if this
     can only change your mind.
Sir, I have never been like this,
     I honestly love your daughter sir
And my life is worthless without her
     near by my side.

When the beautiful day comes, I hope
     you'll be with your daughter on the aisle;
I will offer my life to her sir,
     and I will take care of her every time.
Sir, I will marry your daughter,
     so please let me wander the world with her
I can't truly afford to lose her,
     and only be drowned on memories.

Sir, your answer will matter the most,
     if I should gain or lost;
But sir, I will fight my love for her
     even the skies turned to be the worst.
She's my everything, and I need to be
     transparent about what I feel.
Sir, I will marry your daughter,
     can we have now your blessings sir?

I am young man, conquered a few phrases
And my name is never pronounced by others' lips
I condemned myself for seeking words to rhyme;
For I've been in poetry, years after years of my life:
I may have not those qualities to be a renowned poet,
I will still write even Shakespeare stoop at me upset:
I love composing poems, whatever others may say
For I am prone upon this kind of art, day after day,
Poetry; is where my heart and my my mind solidifies
Tho I may have not a motif for others to be inclined.
He (Shakespeare) is already a diamond; I am not!
Dreams are where it all began, so I will never stop:
There are many prolific writers, better than what I may
Yet my hands will still write even Shakespeare detests me.

you're so close to steal,
     yet so far to feel;

you're so close to see,
     yet so far to touch;

you're so close to hear
     yet so far to catch:

you're so close to me
     yet still you're so far...

you're so close in my dreams,
     yet so far when I woke up;

you're so close to walk
     yet so far to be back:

you're close yet so far,
     you're so numb and I'm so dumb:

you're so close to me,
     yet still so far away...

You're ev'ry sound I long to hear
Yet the ache I feel in each tear;
You're just a dream, my hands can't reach
For with these three words I can't say.

I lied each time they teased me up,
I hid my steps and held my back;
It's hard for me to meet both ends,
For with these three words I can't lend.

You're the reason I breathe at all,
Even if it's up against the wall,
Yet your love is couldn't be mine
For with these three words I've declined.

But if one day you'll notice me,
Hoping you'll feel the same way too;
For with these three words I can't find,
Three words I'm pretending to you...
     (And these are "I-LOVE-YOU"...)
