The Peak Beyond Clouds
One day you will reach
the summit and

Butterfly
You are the melody of my heart,
In your embrace, I find my home.
The wind carries your name,
A soft whisper, gentle as dawn.
You are a butterfly.

Fleeting, yet full of grace,
A sky within my gaze,
My eyes hold you, unwilling to part,
You are a butterfly.

Come, wander through my garden,
Where every bloom reflects my gaze,
Flowers bow to you in silence,
Like the feelings I cannot say.

May you land, so close to me,
I will guard you, never to harm,
Among the blossoms, trust in my care,
In their quiet embrace, you are safe.

Do not fear, my love,
For my heart wraps you in its warmth.

Paro-Paro
Ikaw ang awit ng puso
Sa piling mo ay paraiso
Binubulong ng hangin
Pangalan **** kay lambing
Ikaw ay paro-paro.

Mailap at mapaglaro
Langit kapag ikaw ay pinagmamasdan
Mga mata ay ayaw kang pakawalan,
Ikaw ay paro-paro.

Halina sa aking hardin
At ating libutin
Mga halamang  hitik sayo ng pagtingin
Na katulad ng aking damdamin.

Dumapo ka sana upang ikaw ay malapitan
Iingatan ka at hinding hindi sasaktan
Sa piling ng mga bulaklak,
huwag kang mag-alinlangan.

Huwag kang matakot
Sapagka't pag-ibig ko sayo ay bumabalot.
This poetry was created sometime in 2017.
I am many things, quietly,
A poet whose words flow softly through the stillness,
A writer, shaping thoughts into words
That speak when silence is too loud.

In art, I find my voice—
A visual artist, crafting from dreams,
Letting colors spill where they may,
Shaping moments that feel like they've always existed.

But I am also hands that build,
A builder, laying stones to form something lasting,
Designing spaces where ideas and reality meet,
Where simple things become more than they seem.

And when the world demands structure,
I walk in the realm of reason,
Working with systems and numbers,
Not as a master, but as one who listens,
Helping them find their place.

Imagination is my quiet guide,
A spark that moves both thought and action,
For I do not only think—I feel,
And let my heart lead the way.

I am no grandmaster of any single thing,
But a humble creator,
Working with hands, mind, and soul,
Ever learning, ever doing,
With pride, but never boasting,
For the art I create is simply the best of me.

The Pathological Liar
She claims she's seen a pink cow,
And danced on rainbows—don't ask me how!
Her stories stretch from here to Andromeda,
She once sold moonlight in glass jars!
...But nope it's nonsense every time.
Her tale of stories where nothing's ever true!

A Hollow Echo
You stand tall
But your shadow is thin
A hollow echo of who you pretend to be.
Your words fall like brittle dry leaves--
Broken and empty.
Scattered by the wind that dares to blow.
A person who makes up stories and lies.

If you are afraid about getting burned,
don't play with someone's fire.
You will never quench.
Don't play fire and expect not to get burned.

Bright Star
I still bleed in pain
since you were gone.
There's a hollow space inside
that will never be filled and
there's no way to untangle
my heart from yours.

For the rest of my life,
you are always tucked in my heart,
.......our bright star.

Songs are just like bookmarks in life.
We don't notice things;
it is how we take down time.

The lyrics, the melody, the mood,
and the feelings—yeah!
A single line of a song can take you
back to a moment in time.

BAGONG BAYANI
Pinanday ka ng panahon
May tapang na hindi
basta sumusuko,
sa lahat ng laban
wala kang inuurungan,

Agimat mo ay katapangan
na umagaw mula sa kalaban.
Buo at tibay ng iyong loob
ano man ang iyong sagupain
walang di kakayanin.

laban mo’y hindi biro
Una kami sa iyong puso
Bago ang iyong pagkatao
Karamay ka, sa bawat
along bumubugso.

Ikaw ang bagong bayani
ng ating lipi na nagbabalik
ng kulay at sigla bitbit
ang bandila na may kisig
at buong katapangan.
Dedicated to all frontliners and to all great leaders.

I Just Smile
From here to there
you're the perfect thing to see
like a rainbow in the sky.

You're every curve in my lips
that turns into crescents
and eyes become slits.

I smile today because of you...
You make me always smile
from ear to ear...
I adore you...
So... I just smile...

I Can Hear Music
You are every music amidst a crowd and the word of city sounds, for that is my favorite music, and you are my song.

You are my music in my thoughts tonight and every each new day, and the last picture I sight, as my eyes are closed upon a feathered pillow.

Indeed, it is you that I never searched for, yet you are the symphony in that secret place called dream that came true.

Whenever I think of you at this very moment, music is here from eternity. And, when the final sleep does come and if there is kind of sweet sound, I shall think of you.

Hanggang Wakas
Paano na lamang kaya,
katanungang hindi
kayang isalita?
Naka-lihim na lamang
ba sa bawat titik ng tula?

Hanggang kailan?
Hanggang saan?
Katanungan na lamang
na idinadaan
sa matatalinhagang katha.

May sariling himig
patungkol sa pag-ibig
ngunit bakit nag-dadalawang isip
na ipahiwatig mula sa aking bibig?

Sa mga sandaling ito,
wala pa dalaw ng antok,
Narito at nag-papawihatig
nang muli ang lantarang pag-hanga.

Madalas ipinapakisuyo
sa matatalinhagang salita,
sa bawat tayutay
at saknong na
may lantay at tugma.

Lakas ng loob nawa'y
magpanhik ka nang
ako'y wala nang kinikimkim
at hinihibik sa langit.

Halos umapaw na,
baka 'di na yata kayanin pa.
Panalangin ko na iyong mamalas,
na laging winiwika
ko'y pangalan mo
magpa-hanggang wakas.

Diwata
Sa simula't sapol, sa kuwento
lamang ng matatanda,
sa pelikula at mga takilya
doon lamang ako
nag-papaniwala.

Talastas ng isipan,
hindi ito makatotohanan.
Ngunit sa likod
ng aking isipan,
naroon ang munting katanungan.
Totoo nga ba
o sadyang kathang
isip lamang?

Hindi nag-papaniwala,
hanggang sa hindi ito nakikita.
Pagkaka-tanda ko'y minsan
akong humiling at matulin
naman itong dumating.

Hindi makapaniwala,
halos nanlaki aking mga mata,
isang diwata tugon
na mula puso, di mawari,
napalukso ito sa tuwa.

Tila inagaw **** lahat
ng liwanag at sa likuran
mo'y napakalibot.

Dumarating ka mula
sa mga ulap
at pagdaka'y isang binibini,
tumambad at sa akin
ay pumukaw.
Tunay at totoo
pala ang Diwata,
at yun nga ay ikaw!

Diwata ka sa aking paningin,
ano pa ba ang aking hiling?
Minsan ako nangarap
at nanalangin,
sana may enkantadang
handang magpa-angkin.

Nakakatunaw ka sa mata,
pagkat walang kasing
tulad ng iyong Ganda.

Di masambitla, mga salita
ko'y ayaw ngang lumabas
sa kanilang mga lungga,
kaya narito na muna
ang aking tula.

Ano pa't pupurihin
na lamang muna
kitang pansamantala,
ililihim na muna
ang mga kataga at
sa aking mga mata
ko na lamang muna mababasa.

Diwata ka sa aking paningin.
Pananambitam, dalangin
at hiling na sa munti
kong paraiso, sana'y doon
mo piliing manahan,
gawin **** iyong engkantadia
at handang pasakop sa
lahat ng iyong kagustuhan at nasa.

...Handang paalipin
at magsilbi, basta't ikaw
ang siyang laging aking kapiling...."

Wagas ng Aking Paghanga
Nais kong simulan
pagka't di ko matanto
bakit nagiging tuluyan
kang laman ng aking
diwa at isipan.

Sinubukang ibaling
sa ibang bagay,
ngunit bakit tila ikaw
ay kumakaway na halos
di ako mapalagay.

Paniniwalaan kaya kung
malaman mo na tila nakaguhit
ang iyong ngiti, na di ko alam
kung paano wariin sa aking sarili.  

Sa pag-lalim nga
din nitong gabi,
sa apat ng sulok
napapamuni muni.
Wari ko'y may tawag
ang damdamin at tila
may napili.

Hinahamon ko ang
aking puso dahil
pag-kakatanto ko'y
may nakapunlang
butil ng pag-suyo.

Ipag-paumanhin ang
aking panulat,
dahil ang katotohana'y
di ko alam ang wastong
pamamaraan kung ano
o paano ba ang dapat.

Marapatin nga sana
ng kalangitan,
isinusuko sa ilalim
ng sansinukob na
bihagin ng buwan
at mga bituin
ang pag-sinta;
na sa bawat pag-kutitap
nila ay maipamasid
ang kinang at taglay
ng wagas ng aking paghanga
"...Pilit ko man itago, ngunit
isipan ko'y nasa iyo.
Hindi ko maiwasan,
hindi kaya ako sa iyo
ay tinamaan?🎯🥰

Maitatanong lamang,
bigkis mo kaya ang
aking kasiyahan?
Tuwing ikaw ay aking nakaka-usap,
damdamin ko'y nahahagip
sa mga ulap ng isang iglap. 🌬☁️

Hatinggabi nang muli,
payapa ang mundo,
may awit na bumubulong
at sa puso pumapanhik.

Bumangon at sa langit ako'y
tumatanaw na may ngiti,
libo-libong mga tala, iisa ang
pumukaw ng aking tanglaw...
Yun ay ikaw... 🙈🙈🙈

Iniisip-isip, sana'y masilayan
kita sa aking panaginip.
****-usap sa tadhana
na sana ang lahat ng ito
ay maging takda
at magkaroon ng
mabubuting gunita
at huwag sana mauwi
sa isang kisapmata
at maling akala..." ❤❤❤

Ashes of the Past
The memories that were drawn by the past,
the colourful thoughts retained but gone to fade, thus each traces has remained within.

Time flies like bubble nor fogs amongst the wind
that rapidly obviates each and every moment.

For all single times went by,
for all the pile of hued scenes in our lives,
for all the tales of our immediate past,
luck indeed tends to come once in a lifetime.

...and when your wish finally came true,
embrace and don't let it pass,
because sometimes destiny is kind, selfish
or sulky.

Bethink that we cannot plead the time
to visit nor repeat the elapsed precious moments.
Treasure each moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special and remember time waits for no one.

My Bad
I'm sorry for what I have done.
I'm sorry for the way I hurt you.
I'm sorry for the pain I caused.

I'm sorry I am not perfect,
I know I let you down.
I'm sorry I messed up.

Please don't abandon me,
Hear out my only plea.
From this day, I'll be worth it.

I'm sorry for all that I did.
Please give me another chance
and spare me another glance.

Please let me start anew.

Upos ng Kahapon
Mga ala-alang iginuhit
ng nakaraan,
mga bagay na nabura
ngunit bakas ang marka.

Mga oras na lumipas
na katulad ng bula,
usok at ulap
- agad pinapawi ng
matulin na sandali.

Sa maraming
minsan na nag-daan,
sa maraming tagpo
- kuwento ng mga kahapon,
minsan lamang dumating ang
pag-kakataon.

At kung ang hiling
ay inabot na sa piling,
huwag ng palampasin,
Pagkat minsan - mabait,
madamot o matampuhin
ang tadhana.

Alalahanin na kailan
ma'y di maaaring
mapaki-usapan ang panahon
na ulitin o madalaw
ang lumipas na kahapon.

Beshie
There is no greater name
of true friendship and loyalty.

She gives forth
without truly
nothing holding back,
a beautiful creature who
gives all her heart -
loving you unconditionally.

She is one of the
creations of God
and called after his
holy name in backwards.
A creature who give love
and affection more
than humanity.

Huwag kang Mangamba
Kung ika’y nawawala
'di malaman kung nasaan ka
bumulong lamang sa hangin
sa bituin ika’y tumingin
...ako ay darating

Inuulan ka man ng luha
dumungaw man ang kaba
darating din ang umaga
kaya’t wag kang mangangamba
….nasayo ang aking puso.

Huwag, huwag kang mangamba
may kasama ka sa pag-iisa
mundo man may lumbay
huwag kalimutang may kulay.

Huwag kang mangamba
dahil buhay ay may pag asa
kasama sa pag-lalakbay
bigyang saysay ang buhay.

Mabagal man ang hating-gabi
narito lamang sa iyong tabi
pakinggan ang sigaw ng iyong puso,
naroon lamang ako
salubungin natin ang bukas
huwag kang mangangamba
pagkat 'di ako mawawala.
