malamig ang gabi
madilim ang paligid
bago ang buwa't
patay ang bituin

sa 'di kalayuan
isang gamugamo'y
'di maiwan-iwan
mainit na apoy

---isang buong kandila
na ibig niyang lapitan
sarili'y pinigilan
'pagkat siya'y masasaktan

umikot ang mundo
---sangkatlo'y naglaho
umikot ang mundo
---natira'y sangkatlo

teka, sandali
anong nangyari
bakit nga ba kay bilis
maglaho ng sandali

kahit 'di nakikita
siya'y naging masaya
kahit sa malayo
siya'y nakontento

'pag naubos ang kandila
saan pupunta
gamugamong nilalamig
pa'no iibig
What will you do when your last happy pill expires?
Maria Zyka Feb 2020
noo'y malakas,
ngayo'y mahina.
nauubos ang mitsa,
namamatay ang kandila.
noo'y liwanag ang dala,
ngayo'y usok ang binubuga.
Tulong.

whimsical hues
pretty pastels
dancing birds and
singing angels

mix of colors
the blues and pinks
mystic faces
our laughs and tears

look at the sky
stop the pretend
evermores too
come to an end

every minute
clouds are shrouding
and now you are
disappearing

look at the sky
stop the pretend
evermores too
come to an end

the setting sun
seems to await
hanging around
for something great

there is no point
in her waiting
she herself knows
he's not coming

look at the sky
stop the pretend
evermores too
come to an end

the moon is late
the sun has set
he has appeared
but she has left

so came the dusk
starless somber
from serious vows
into strangers
The dreaded waiting game.

I want to help you
I want to hug you
I want you in my arms
I want to talk to you
I want to be with you
I want to remove your pain

Love,
Would you let me
Would you ever let me in?

Maybe,
If you just let me
Then we could end this rain.
Unsaid cares.

Maghihintay parin ba ako
Para sa isang tao
Kahit wala namang kasiguraduhan
Kung may patutunguhan ba ito?

Basta ikaw
Basta para sa'yo
Oo
Maghihintay ako.
Pero may hinihintay nga ba ako?

Dalawang bata
Isang matanda
Babae't lalaki
Kasama ang ama
Naglalaro sila
Doon sa may kalsada
Napadaan lang ako
Ngunit tila paa'y napako
Habang sila'y tinititigan

---Isip ko'y bumalik sa nakaraan

Naalala ko nang kami ni ama'y
Naglalaro ng tagu-taguan
Sa tuwing ako'y nahuhuli
Ako'y kanyang kinikiliti
Oo, ako'y naging masaya
Sa limang taong pinagsamahan

---Bumalik ako sa kasalukuyan

Ang mag-ama'y tuwang-tuwa sa aking kanan
Hinihiling ko lamang sa Panginoon
Sila sana'y bigyan pa ng mahabang panahon
Sana'y maranasan mo ang hindi ko naranasan.

Two seconds ago you were kissing me
One second after, you turned to her
I saw the sun setting down
Reflecting red on the sea and ground
I'm gulfed in feelings of hate

12:49
Before, I breathed in your tight embrace
But then you stood and walked away
I can not see you anymore
But hey, that's fine
I know you're no longer mine

12:50
Don't worry, I'll let your heart fly high
In one minute, these feelings of mine shall die
It will be as swift as when you left me
I'm gonna let go and let you be
But then I sigh, 'cause it was already,

12:52
And I still love you.
Longing.
