kung walang tatayo para sa bayan, sino?
ikaw na takot at naniniwala sa kuro-kuro?
ikaw na sanay na sa sistemang pabago-bago?
kung hindi tayo lalaban, sino?

sino bang dapat lumaban at makiaklas?
sino bang nandyan hanggang bukas?
sino bang nais humamon upang maging patas?
sino ba dapat ang kailangang tinitingala at tinitingnan sa itaas?

hindi ba't ikaw ang dapat gumawa ng paraan?
hindi ba't ikaw na mamamayan?
hindi ba't ikaw na Pilipino sa dugo at laman?
hindi ba't ikaw na anak ng bayan?

sa bawat siglong dadaan ay nanatili ang rebolusyon,
ang tanging kailangan ay pagmamahal sa nasyon.
mga aksyon natin dapat iayon,
kaya lumaban ka para sa sarili, sa bayan at sa susunod na henerasyon.
para sa bayan.

To every poet
that turned misery to beauty
reality to fantasy
life into poetry
love into mystery
words into sorcery

To every poet whose
word on paper
is an invitation
to play with fire

lena k
you say she's just a friend
but "just a friend" wouldn't visit you at work on your first day.
"just a friend" doesn't lay in your lap
while you play with her hair.
"just a friend" doesn't flirt with you.
"just a friend" wouldn't make me want to see myself bleed.
"just a friend" would be just a friend.

when everything is too much to bear
and you think everything is falling apart in the air.
you must remember,
i'll always be there somewhere.
remind yourself and swear,
that everyone has the chance to repair.
sometimes we fall ensnare,
but one thing you should always forswear:
you are unique, you are rare
and you deserve all the care.

there's this creature,
everyone seems to have in nature.
it can attack like a vulture.
every mind, it can torture.

horror and futile.
weak and fragile.
in this, we're fatal.
this is crucial

mababa man o mataas ang lipad,
nagiisa ka sa himpapawid.
sana ay iyong matupad,
layunin **** matuwid.

ikaw ang agila,
tanyag at sikat.
ikaw ay aking maalala,
'pagkat ikaw ay tapat.
tula para kay Hen. Gregorio del Pilar

pain
 Nov 2018 梅香

pain is a proof that we are alive.
that in any order, we always strive.
we sometimes contrive,
but we always remember to thrive.

we are willing to do anything just to survive.
in any deep seas, we are willing to dive.
even if it is pain that we derive.
for pain is a proof that we are alive.

Don't tell me I'm pretty
Tell me that I'm passionate
That I have drive
Tell me that I make you laugh
That I know how to make your day better
Don't tell me I seem nice
Tell me that I'm kind and compassionate
Tell me that I'm not afraid to dream and to dream big
Don't tell me I'm perfect
Tell me the you love me despite my flaws
That you want to spend the rest of your life with me
Don't tell me I'm beautiful
Tell me that you'll be faithful and forever true
