Still
Paraluman Sep 2019
I’m scared as f*ck
to want you.

But here
I am,

Still wanting you
anyway.

Poem by Pedro Calderon
Paraluman Aug 2015
Ano nga ba ang buhay? Isang kahibangan,
What is life? A mania,
Ano nga ba ang buhay? Isang ilusyon,
What is life? An illusion,
Isang anino, isang kasinungalingan,
A shadow, a lie
At ang malalaking biyaya'y maliliit pa rin,
And the biggest blessings is still small,
Dahil ang buhay ay isa lamang pangarap,
Because life is only a dream,
At ang pangarap ay pangarap lamang.
*And a dream is only a dream.
Found this poem in an ad inside a train. Original piece is written in Español.

Pablo Neruda's TU RISA
Paraluman Sep 2015
Ríete de la noche,
Pagtawanan mo ang gabi,
Laugh at the night,
del día, de la luna,
ang araw, ang buwan,
at the day, at the moon,
ríete de las calles
torcidas de la isla,
pagtawanan mo ang liku-likong
landas sa isla,

laugh at the twisted
streets of the island,

ríete de este torpe
muchacho que te quiere,
pagtawanan mo ang torpeng
lalaking ito na nagmamahal sa iyo,

laugh at this clumsy
boy who loves you,

pero cuando yo abro
los ojos y los cierro,
ngunit kapag bubuksan at
isasara ko ang aking mga mata,

but when I open
my eyes and close them,

cuando mis pasos van,
kapag ako ay umalis,
when my steps go,
cuando vuelven mis pasos,
kapag ako ay muling bumalik,
when my steps return,
niégame el pan, el aire,
la luz, la primavera
ipagkait mo na sa akin ang tinapay, ang hangin, ang liwanag at ang tagsibol,
deny me bread, air,
light, spring,

pero tu risa nunca
porque me moriría.
wag lamang ang iyong mga ngiti
dahil ito ay aking ikasasawi.

**but never your laughter
for I would die.
I find this so romantic and beautiful.
(This is only a part of the poem.)

Panaginip
Paraluman Jul 2015
Gabi-gabi
Sa unan ay dali tumatabi,
Nananabik
Mata'y pumikit, Bibig humilik,
Panaginip
Kitang mahagkan at makapiling.

Magingat ka
Paraluman Jul 2015
baka ika'y madapa
pero wag magalala
kung sakaling matuluyan nga
andito mga kamay kong
siguradong ibabangon ka
sa aspaltong magaspang na iyong kababagsakan.

Magingat ka
baka kako ika'y madapa
pero wag magalala
kung sakaling matuluyan nga
andito mga kamay kong
siguradong pupunasan
mga luhang manggagaling sa'yong mga mata.

Magingat ka
baka kako ika'y madapa
pero wag magalala
kung sakaling matuluyan nga
andito mga kamay kong
siguradong pagagalingin
mga gasgas sa tuhod **** ngayo'y nanginginig.

Magingat ka
baka kako ika'y madapa
pero wag magalala
kung sakaling matuluyan nga
andito mga kamay kong
siguradong handang
buhatin ka kung sakaling di na kayang maglakad pa.

Hindi ako magsasawang paalalahanang
magingat ka
na baka ika'y madapa
pero wag na wag magalala
kung sakaling matuluyan nga
andito ako hindi lang mga kamay ko
handang saluhin ka sa tuwing ikaw ay madadapa.

Paano ako?

Siya'y nakalaan sa'yo,
Ika'y para sa kanya,
Paano naman ako?
Tadhana'y sadyang kay daya.

Mulat na Panaginip
Paraluman Jul 2015
Ang sarap isipin
Na ika'y kapiling
Sana'y di magising
Sa mulat na panaginip
Atin may gustuhin
Ito'y totohanin
Ngunit di natin kakayanin
'Wag natin pilitin
Panatiliin na lang itong
Mulat na panaginip.

Cravings

Craving* for a touch I've never felt.
Craving for someone I've never met.
Craving you excessively.

Walang iwanan
Paraluman Sep 2017
"Wag mo akong iiwan",
Lagi **** sambit sa akin.
"Ako'y nasasaktan at malungkot
Puso kong wasak gustong makalimot.
Jan ka lang sa'king tabi't
Damayan ako hanggang takip silim.
Iyong pasayahin panandali
Upang lungkot ko'y wag manatili."

"Wag mo akong iiwan",
Paulit-ulit kong pinakikinggan.
Lungkot mo'y aking papawiin,
Puso **** wasak aking bubuuin.
Di ako aalis sa iyong piling
Bukang liwayway pa'y dumating.
Sarili ko sa'yo ay iaalay,
Di ipagdadamot.
Wag mo lang din akong iiwan sa iyong paghilom at paglimot.

Lost Temper
Paraluman Jul 2015
Oh darling, help me find my temper
'Coz I can't bear it any longer
My patience is running thinner
I'm becoming a wall wrecker
Hope this swollen hands will heal sooner
Don't tolerate me with this anger
So, please help me find my temper
Don't make me suffer forever.
Lost: My patience. If found, please return preferably wrapped in an ice cold bottle of beer.

First time
Paraluman May 2016
Last night was the first time we got drunk,
the first time your hand glides down my arms,
fingers lace with mine, palm kissing.
The first time you put your head on my shoulder,
not because you're sleepy nor tipsy,
but because you want to be closer to me.
And the first time I heard you breathe on my neck,
god I was hooked! that deep calm sound
and the warmth of it quivers within.
I'd drink forever if it meant you'd never stop.

Who am I?
Paraluman Jul 2015
Don't know
Who am I,
Who I want to be

And
Who I should be.

I don't care actually.
Stuck between those.

I was NOTHING.

Your face is my favorite picture,
There’s no need to adjust.
You’re better than you think you are,
There’s nothing more I could ask.
You’re my daydream that’s for sure,
A dream I wish won’t last.

Desire
Paraluman Apr 2019
Last night with you is full of desires.

Desire to see the alignment of our stars into your eyes.

Desire to listen to your heartbeat,
Eager to know if it matches mine.

Desire to squeeze you tightly into my arms,
never want to let go.

Desire to stay like that with you
for much longer that it would really last.

Desire to make you mine, only mine.

Just a thought

I wonder
if we ever think of each other
at the same time.
'Coz you occupied my mind all the time.

Way you make me feel
Paraluman Apr 2019
I can’t contain whatever this is I’m feeling for you.
It’s so raw, unexpected and have this power to consume its beholder.
It’s kinda frightening the whole **** out of me.
My current emotional state.

Still
Paraluman Jun 2020
I dreamt of you last night
You wrapped your arms to me tight
It felt so warm and comforting
That familiar sensation I am still longing.

You said you wanted me back
Then suddenly all the memories backtracks
Words cannot describe how delighted I was
But my feelings cannot tolerate anymore pain that you might cast.

Why did our time have past?
It all went by so fast
Is this the sign that I should bury our past?
The thought makes my heart crack and wants to blast.

My dream slowly fades to black
I end up crying because I, too wants you back
Only you will fill what my heart lacks
Guess, you are still the dream I wish won’t last.

Memory
Paraluman Apr 2019
I am hopelessly in love with a memory.
An echo of you in that certain time, certain place.
A memory I would love to live and repeat all over again and again and again...
