She was the lightning
elusive and too fast

and he was the thunder
who keeps on chasing after her
never really getting tired
no matter how many times
he misses

who knows?
maybe one day
when he's a bit faster
and she's a bit closer
and the wind and the heat
the electrons and the charges
all agree,
they will meet
they will dance
and all the earth will hear them shout

*because after all
thunder is alive
only because there's
lightning

she's strong
she's vulnerable
but she never cries
she's nice
she has a lot of friends
she will fight for you
because she cares
she loves too much
she pours so much effort
in making others happy
in hopes of making herself smile too
she's strong
she's tough

to sum it up
she's an angel
with a shotgun

but no,
she's not gonna hurt you

she's fragile
she breaks
but she never shows it
she screams
but she doesn't let you hear it
she dies
but you will see her living
laughing
enjoying
life
as if she truly is

Bang!

Bang!

*(don't be scared,
no one's hurt..

except her)

what if the sky fell in love with the earth? what if the clouds fell in love with the tip of the mountain and plateaus? maybe it's true that you can love someone even if the only thing you can touch is her facade; even if the only thing you can linger to is her surface.

what if you can love someone even if you've never seen her wholly? maybe you can really fall for someone even if you know you will miss her for life.

And among all various forms of love, the love between the sky and the earth will always stay as a tricky one.. it will never end - because the sky will continue to look after the earth no matter what the winds and the sun and the dirt say - **but it will never start either.

when you left
my words left me, too

now I live in silence
I learned a thing or two
1. Too much peace is deafening
2. I'd rather choose sadness if it's with *you

everytime I hear your name
it kills me

I miss you too much

I don't know
if you sleep soundly at night
but in case you don't
hear me out

I only think of one thing
when I can't fall asleep

Make a guess

I hope you think of me,*too.

Perlas ng Silangan

Diba nandoon ka
noong sila'y humingi ng tulong
noong sila'y hinuli at sinaktan
ng walang kalaban-laban
noon sila'y tinrato na hayop
ng sarili nilang kababayan.

Diba narinig mo
ang iyak ng mga batang
dinuyan sa tunog ng bala
noong ang mga nanay nila
na dapat kakanta
ay hindi na makita.

Diba nakita ****
nanaig ang kapangyarihan
kaysa sa kanilang karapatan?

Nandoon ka
sa bawat iyak
sa bawat sigaw
pero hindi mo sila sinagip
mula sa kapangyarihang
puno ng galit.

Ngayon nama'y
kami ang naririto
mga bagong saksi
ng pagkatalo
mga sundalong
walang armas pero
pilit ipinaglalaban
ang katotohanan.

Kailanma'y hindi
magiging sapat
ang mga libro
para ikwento ang pait
para aming maramdaman
ang sakit.

Pero ngayong araw
mga mata'y luluha muli
ang mga sugat ay muling hahapdi.

Ngayong araw
kinalimutan ang kasaysayan
kaya't pasensya na mga anak
kung aming napabayaan
kung ibang pananaw na
ang inyong daratnan

O Pilipinas,
ikaw pa ba ang Perlas ng Silangan?

To all victims of Martial Law, I am eternally sorry.
