Letter
you're so good
heavens can't deny
the virtues you bring
gives little bit of sparkle
in our hearts pure black

you look good today
inspired?
will always be here cheering for you
hoping that all stars align
and your wishes come true, for you deserve it

thank you,
for bringing back
the heart that was shattered
for bringing back
the hope I thought won't come back
((to someone who will not have the chance to read this, ever))

fallen optimist
her heart is ripped
like how scissors cut a paper
like a storm between paradise
like a trust, broken into pieces

how can she ever get her heart back?
her whole heart
that loved shamelessly
that loved nothing else but to be happy

she can't think of anything that will distance the sadness
apart from herself;
that will remove the pain
causing the broken parts locked in chains

how to fix a shattered soul?
where one reason could be the source
and that reason can't be known
for a bomb can explode

heart in anguish
and she, herself, could be the reason
bloodshot eyes
the tears of the fallen optimist
That could be all.

I once wrote your name
                  full of admiration and flame.
wherever you are, I'm still rooting for you.

Difference
We're at the same place
At the same time
Doing the same thing
At the same pace

But here's the difference;
My heart was beating for you
But your heart was beating for her

Last Night
And they said, "You cried last night, screaming his name."
Someone did save me. But at the back of my mind, it's still you.

you with the sea
you with the sea,
who would've thought that,
it'll be a magical combination
no art could give

the serenity the sea reflects,
the peace my heart felt whenever I look at you,
problems disappear
a masterpiece is created

you with the sea,
I want to cry in pain
the beauty it portray
appreciation is not enough

sunsets, sunrise
could I ever see that scene again?
you with the sea
how enchanting that be
I have seen a picture of you, sitting and looking at the view of the sea. My heart jumped, as it was happy to see such magical scene.

Masama Bang Hilingin
Masama bang hilingin, na sana'y tapusin sakit ng damdaming hindi maibalik

Masama bang hilingin, na sana'y magwakas, isang pangyayaring hindi hiniling

Masama bang hilingin, na sana'y tumigil, isang pakiramdam at lihim na pagtingin
Masama ba?

You are a piece of question, waiting to be answered.
Now I wondered, would you know that your presence kills and saves me at the same time?

f e e l i n g s ;
ilang beses pa bang mararamdaman
isang damdaming pilit na kinakalimutan
Akala ko tapos na, akala ko hanggang dun na lang. Pero bakit hanggang ngayon, iba pa din ang pakiramdam tuwing nakikita kita? Masaya, pero masakit.

[Flower Ever After]
The reason why we hesitate to make a choice is because of the things we have to let go of.
Even if we know they aren't ours, still, we aren't used to losing them.
This mini web drama taught me a lot of things. Though Flower Ever After is just a 15 min episode drama, with 10 episodes all in all, I still love love love it.

happy color
Whatever this was
I knew the color wasn't that black
Rainbow came once,
The smile on my face can't be moved

But then, the glow fades
Darkness grew again
Burst into fire
The growth of the flames is within me

How can someone be this sad?
No one asked if rainbow is really a happy color
People just assumed
Like how most of us fake positivity

When will that day come?
When hurt is no more
All colors are neutral
Happiness is within

I can't wait 'til that day comes
Where I can finally say
Black is a good thing,
In order to appreciate the new color

I promise...
I promise not to think about you again
I promise not to remember any good memories
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €we shared for a moment of time
I promise not to look at our pictures
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €that reminds me of those times
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €where we were genuinely laughing
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €at something so immature
I promise to look for someone
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €who is far from who you are
I promise
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €to forget everything
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €to forget the happiness I've felt

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €for being one of the promises, I came to love
people come and go, and sometimes you don't expect yourself to love that person who unexpectedly came and suddenly left

The sea looks bright today
The sun keeps on shining
The world is still revolving
Yet
The hand of my clock
Seems to be not working.
What are these emotions?
Flooding towards uncertainties
Giving clues to every traveller behind.
I think I stopped,
I stopped my own time
Not letting the world know.
Yet
The sea still looks bright
But now the gloom of the moon
Gives its shine.

Change
Tears fall
Leaves fall
When will they stay
Weather changes
Clock ticks
Change is fast before we even knew
He is there
She is where, nowhere to be found
Their timing isn't great
But,
Can change set them together again?

It started, didn't stop, still continuing
Never have thought that you're different.
Why do you need to leave so early?
I hate how you make me feel bad
Seeing you every time, but not seeing you closely,
That pretty back of yours, who could deny that
You're one of them?
I hate you so much. I hate you to the point,
Where the stars hate the sun, though they need it, they want it
I need you? No, I want you but I can't want you.
I can't like you. I can't see you.
I can't look at you the way I want to look at you.
I hate you, and I want to forget you, but ****
Seeing you, is like galaxies beneath my eyes.
You sparkle, you shine,
But, you're millions far.
How can I reach you? If you're not reachable?

I never thought
That a flash of light can be slower
Than my emotions exploding
Like a supernova in the galaxy.
Someone did hurt me
And why am i not hurting enough?
The grasses spoke like
A human consoling a person
Will you be my grass?
Beneath the flowers that i do not
Own; well why do i even deserve you?
This question isnt that important at all
Do you even know me?
I think not
I think you dont even care
And i dont have any reason to complain
For im just a mere person
Trying to get your attention
But not enough.

I suppose
Out of this world I suppose
The thing I wanted
The thing I craved
Is nothing beneath the surface

Should I really be here?
People whispering
People gathering
People hardworking
Just to achieve something they...
Thought they need

Are we really in this world just to play along?
When I was a kid, all I thought was
Everything we step on
The grass, the ground, even the mud outside
Was all part of a big playground
Where we are tested
Looked upon, and judged

Others always ask,
"How can I be truly happy?"
Which is I second the motion
Things, foods, places
People always find the way to achieve that kind of feeling
Even when it takes to let themselves be lost

Can I ask,
How can we truly end this?
All this suffering, sadness, unknowingness
Without getting depressed on how will we do it?

The solution?
Out of this world, I suppose

Pasensya
Walong letrang nagsisimula
Sa isang pahina ng libro
Kung saan lahat ng nagawa ay nakasulat

Walong letrang sumisimbolo
Sa masasakit at masasayang alaalang
Iyong ibinigay,
Binitawan na parang isang kinusot na papel
Sa malawak na dagat na itim

Pilit na sumusuko
Pilit na umiiwas
Ngunit wala nang nagawa
Kundi hayaan na lang

Pasensya?
Pang-ilang beses na bang nabanggit
Pang-ilang beses na bang sinambit
Katagang ayaw marinig
Ng dalawang pandinig,
Na pilit inaalala, ang mga katagang
Nalalayo sa salitang pasensya

Hindi ka ba nagsasawa?
Ilang beses na bang kailangang marinig
Pasensyang hindi totoo
Pasensyang hindi galing sa puso
Pasensyang pinilit lang

Pwede bang ako naman?
Pwede bang ako naman ang hindi makinig?
Pwede bang ako naman ang humingi ng pasensya
At hingiin na sana'y tapusin na

Daan
Madaming daan
Hindi alam kung saan magsisimula
Madaming pagpipilian
Hindi alam kung bakit nag-aalangan
Sa kung anong dapat puntahan

Kaliwa?
Kanan?
Diretso?
Atras?

May mga pagpipilian pero hindi malaman
Tutuloy ba?
Titigil ba?
Susundin ba ang puso?
O ang nararapat?

Tulang Pinakamalungkot
Sisimulan ko ito
Sa kung paano ko tinapos ang lahat
Sisimulan ko ito

Simulan
Simulan nating magbilang
Simula isa hanggang walo

Simulan nating bilangin ang bawat patak ng ulan
Kung saan tayo masayang nagtatawanan
At hindi pa nababahiran ng kahit anong
Sakit at pagdududa

Simulan nating bilangin ang mga bituin sa itaas
Kumikinang, nagbibigay liwanag
Sa mga mata **** nanlalabo na
At alam nang hindi na kayang ituloy pa

Simulan nating bilangin ang bawat pahina
Ng isang kwadernong punong puno
Ng masasayang alaala,
Ngunit isa na lang masakit na nakaraan

Simulan nating bilangin kung ilang beses tayong
Naging tayo, simula nang magtapat kang
Ako'y iyong gusto

Simulan nating... kailangan pa ba nating simulan?
Masisimulan ba ang mga bagay na alam ****, magtatapos naman?
Masisimulan ba ang mga bagay, kahit hindi ka sigurado,
Ay alam **** hindi naman tatagal?

Simulan nating itanong,
Bakit ako?
Bakit hindi na lang iba ang sinaktan mo?
Bakit hindi na lang yung isang babaeng umiinom ng kape sa gilid
O kaya'y nagbabasa ng libro sa kabila.
Bakit ako?

"Mahal kita."
Hindi naman talaga sa pagbibilang nagsimula ang lahat
Hindi naman sa numero, o sa ulan, o sa bituin

Dalawang salita...
Dalawang salita lang at nagsimula na ang lahat
Dalawang salita kung saan ang ako at ikaw ay naging tayo
Dalawang salita kung saan natapos din ang lahat

Simulan ulit natin,

Simulan natin, sa kung ilang kataga ang sinabi mo
Nang ika'y umalis
Simulan natin sa dalawang salitang sinabi mo sa kanya
Habang ako'y hindi nagbibigay ng atensyon
Simulan natin, sa kung paano natapos
Ang nabuong ikaw at ako.

Simulan natin, hanggang dito na lang.
Rotate the number eight, 90 degrees. What would you see?

white was the color that represents peace
blue was the color i'm seeing everyday
red was the color you wanted

the colors we bring, they don't match at all
surrounding every horizon we pass
makes a path of rainbow
that is pleasing to the eyes

"i can't be with you anymore"
you've never said it, but i felt it
i felt how you wanted to tear this up
or did i just,
assumed that red could become a purple,
a color more closer to blue?

"i can't love you the way you've loved me"
unspoken words seem to be louder
than words spoken with mouth

an orange sun once came,
it's too bright it could make anyone blind
but you were wearing shades since the day we met
i didn't know it was for that

i'm too blinded by the colors
that i'm not aware red and blue are primary colors
someone told me, "lower your standards for a sec"
...can i?

can i let my glow be of that secondary?
can i forget who i really am just for a guy?
of course... no.

"hi"
someone said
"did you miss someone?"
yes, always
"is that someone worth it?"
i think so
"are you happy at the end?"

why?
why ask someone what they've felt at the end?
why can't you ask someone what they've felt at start?

"because everything that ends, is settled
you can't make a bitter ending
that's forced"

music is deaf
by music,
we came to know each other

by music,
we came to hear the words that weren't spoken

by music,
we started to meet just by eyes

by music,
we clapped by the beat

by music,
we partied like there's no tomorrow

by music,
we serenaded without getting to know the tune

by music,
we placed rings on each other's hands

by music,
we slept soundly

by music,
low notes came in sudden with do's and re's

by music,
we're blinded by the upbeat notes

by music,
we didn't know that notes and rests and sharps and flats
can be flipped upside down

by music,
she died.

Hindi Ikaw
hindi ikaw ang dahilan kung bakit siya nakangiti
hindi ikaw ang unang una niyang maiisip
sa unang pagbukas ng kanyang mga matang nakapikit;
hindi ikaw ang kanyang unang kakausapin
sa tuwing siya'y masaya,
malungkot, nagdudusa, at nasasaktan
hindi rin ikaw ang unang taong kailangan niya
tuwing siya'y nakakaramdam ng pagiging mag-isa

hindi talaga 'ikaw.'

ang ikaw na palaging siya ang iniisip
unang pagmulat pa lang ng mata sa umaga
ang ikaw na bukambibig ang pangalan niya
kahit ang iba'y rinding rindi na
ang ikaw na palaging nag-aabang sa pinto
nagbabakasaling babalik siya
at ang ikaw na naghihintay
kahit nakakagago na

hindi rin ikaw, at hinding hindi magiging ikaw
ang 'siya' na gusto niya
ang siya na importante sa buhay niya
na kahit ano mang pagsubok, ay siya at siya pa rin
ang siya na palagi niyang binabati ng magandang umaga
ang siya na ang mundo niya
at ang siya na kahit kailan
ay hindi magiging ikaw

hindi ikaw,

hindi talaga ikaw ang huli niyang maiisip
bago niya ipikit muli ang kanyang mga mata
hindi ikaw ang masayang kaganapan na maaalala niya tuwing siya'y nalulungkot
at hindi ikaw ang isang pulang rosas na kanyang pinili sa hardin ng iba't ibang bulaklak

kahit kailan naman ay hindi naging ikaw
hindi naging ikaw ang "siya" at "tayo" na iniisip niya
hindi naging ikaw ang pinaplano niyang masayang panimula pagkatapos ng masakit na katapusan
hindi naging ikaw, at hindi magiging ikaw

dahil iba ang "ikaw" at "siya"
ang siya na pilit niyang kinukuha ang atensyon
at ikaw na pilit namang kinukuha ang atensyon na hindi para sayo.

Pano Magsulat
hindi naman talaga ako marunong magsulat
pero nang dahil sa'yo
nasimulan ko

hindi ko din alam kung paano ito tatapusin
pero nang dahil sa'yo
nagawa ko

paano nga ba magsulat?
unang letra, pangalawa, pangatlo
hindi ko namalayan na sa unang pagtingin ko
sa unang paglapat ko ng papel sa lamesa
sa unang paggalaw ng panulat ko

...dumaloy na ang mga salitang
hindi ko akalaing manggagaling
sa mismong mga kamay ko

"isang araw..."
diyan din naman tayo nagsimula
diyan tayo unang nagkita, nagkausap at nagkatinginan
lahat naman nagsisimula sa isang araw hindi ba?

at magtatapos din sa "wakas"
ang wakas kung saan magiging masaya na ang lahat
ang wakas na hindi na pwedeng madugtungan pa
ng kahit anong problemang magbibigay kalungkutan

pero bakit?

kahit alam kong wakas na
kahit alam kong tapos na, tigil na, hinto na
bakit hindi ko pa din mapigilan
ang paggalaw ng kamay ko sa itaas ng papel?
ang pagagos ng mga letra sa utak ko
na para bang ako'y lalamunin na?

"nasasaktan ka na"
bulong ng utak ko sa puso ko
"kaya ko pa"
sagot naman ng puso ko pabalik
"di ka pa ba pagod?"

mga huling salita na nagsasabi sa'king tumigil na
mga salitang matagal ko ng hinihintay
mga salitang dapat matagal ko nang napagtanto
at hudyat na dapat itigil ko na

akala ko ba, nang dahil sa'yo, magiging madali na lang?
akala ko ba, nang dahil sa'yo, mahihinto ko agad?
bakit parang bumaliktad?
bakit parang, nang dahil sa'yo mas humirap

nang dahil sa'yo
humirap magsimulang muli
humirap maghanap ng panibagong papel
na pagsusulatan ko ng bagong kabanata
humirap ihinto ang mga pangungusap
na aking nasusulat nang ako'y nagsimula

kailan ba 'ko hihinto?
pati ba naman itong tula ay hindi ko matapos
dahil hanggang dito, ikaw pa din ang dahilan
ikaw ang dahilan kung bakit ko ito sinimulan sinulat, dinama, pinagisipan

alam ko...

alam ko darating ang araw na mararating ko din ang wakas
ang wakas kung saan wala ng "dahil sa'yo"
ang dulo kung saan mahihinto ko na ang pagsusulat ng kabanatang ito
ang kabanatang nagbigay sa akin ng ligaya, ngunit masakit na karanasan
ang kabanatang hanggang nakaraan na lang

at pag dumating ang araw na iyon
muli ko nang mararamdaman ang saya sa pagkuha ng bagong papel
ang saya sa paglinis ng aking panulat
at…
ang saya kung saan mababanggit ko na ang katagang, "sawakas"

masasabi ko na din ang pasasalamat ko sa iyo,
na nagbigay sa akin ng papel at
matitingnan ko na din ng maayos
ang panulat na ikaw mismo ang nagbigay.

— The End —
