Your smile can pierce through my dark heart
A smile that reaches the eyes
Eyes that speak a lot of joys
And the heart that peaks through every time you laugh

They say that you have cold eyes
Your stares are scary
Your stupid antics are creepy
And that you are too high most of the time

But I really love all these traits of you,
It makes me wonder what kind of person you really are
You seem gleeful and always happy
But I see myself in you too when you fall silent

You are confusing me with your smiles
My gullible heart wants to believe in all that you say and show
But I have to use my brain and know that you are human too
You have emotions, and actions that are not visible in front of the camera

I for one cannot judge you for who you really are
Good or bad, it’s not my problem
You sing, dance and smile because it’s what you love to do
You are a sunny ball of mystery to me

And for that, I am once again reminded
That such emotions are not mine to invest in
I like the way you smile
But the warmth can be faked

And sometimes even the most sincere emotion it seems,
Can also be forged
It’s not my problem you if you are a good or bad person
And that's why I can’t invest in these kind of emotions

You have a very long road ahead of you
Hopefully, whatever happens in the next few years
That warm smile that reaches your eyes remain
Soak up all the happiness under the sun, fair boy

Does God answer on short notice?
Does He show up even if it's too late?

Does He answer short prayers?
Does He hear abrupt grumblings?

Does He sense my despair?
Will He read my poem?

If so, God will you please show up now?
Rescue me

Give Him your Sabbath
One day in a week
Rest on the seventh
For Sabbath was made for man to keep

Rest from your work
From your worries and fears
Let this day be for Him
One day in a week

Rest your mind and heart
Let the worries of the world drift apart
For as your father care for the birds
Shall He provide all your needs

Think not of the storms of tomorrow
Let tomorrow worry of its sorrows
Give God your Sabbath,
Every seventh once a week

Let the day of rest be filled with thanks
Thanks for His goodness and mercy
His providence and grace
Offer him this day, this day for His glory

Oh, I’ve found the sweetest song that my ear has ever heard!
My heart has ever known!

‘tis are prayers by friends, family and strangers
Oh, how sweet are they that they remind me of Your love,
They remind me that you are a listening God

And I am not alone, no, I am never alone
For I see you in their eyes, I see you move mountains by the content of their hearts

Oh, what a sweet, sweet song it is.. The prayers that I receive…
‘tis the most wonderful gift,
Like a delivering troop, a chariot of fire and gold…

When the night seems so cold and dark
I long for warmth
When the sun doesn't shine in the morning
I knew rain is coming

But I still look out the window
For Your warm smile to show
In the midst of chaos Your voice is my escape
Your mercy reaches me through faith

Oh, I cant explain the joy
the peace and calmness in your employ
A short cruise in paradise
and the warmth of your smile

A butcher gave me a rotten piece of meat
chased around by flies
threw it on the backyard compost pit
snakes and wandering dogs dilly-dallied not

A beggar man gave me a broken button
in exchange of alms
threw it on the sideline of the road
a child picked it up

put it in his pocket
bought a lemonade
he smiled and stared
back on a button-full pocket

a bleeding hand and sharpened knife
stained clump of calabash seeds
emptied it somewhere behind the kitchen sink
where leaves grew and vines intertwined

hope fill up empty places
from thrown away lives
sprout from nowhere
from trash and useless things

hope is a seed given by a loving heart
thrown away by those that appreciate it not
found by the needy and broken
casts lights on the downtrodden

hope adds another reason to live
a space in the heart to forgive
hope rises like the sun
every morn on the horizon

when curtains are drawn it persists
it reaches out in slivers and warmth
do you have it's tiny seed?
perhaps a button or piece of rotten meat?

tell me where its buried
I'll dig and look for it...
any, just any piece of it
for another day to live

Huddled in a corner
watching time fly by
seasons change
memories fade

nowhere to turn to but my paper and pen
hoping to empty the shattered pieces of my soul
to find a new hope to go on
to find comfort in the storm

its an endless race
a pointless journey
or so I thought
as sadness eats me up

what is this feeling that haunts me?
barren, cold and empty
Nowhere to go
nothing to do

so I just take a paper and pen
hoping it could chase away nightmares
Empty the sadness
Make me sleep better

Fly away, fly away, take me away
My heart is aching,
My tears are racing
For the heartaches that I am cradling

I am bleeding
I shed my tears non stop,
I want to tear my heart out
gauge my eyes out

I cant move,
I cant breathe
paralyzed by the pain
I wanna be swept away

Erase my existence
Ease my pain
Take me on my sleep
take my life away

Dear God, Thank you for the sunrise
for the stars that shine at night
Thank you for the morning dew
for the fireflies that are so few

Thank you for the warmth of the morning sun
they give me hope that this day will be fine
thank you for your smile I see in the green of the trees
for the wind you sent for a comforting caress

Dear God, I am not okay
My heart is bleeding
I am weak and ashamed
I walk to work with hands shaking

God, I am tired and afraid
Frustrated and way too scared
Take my problems away
this heartbreaks, don't let them stay

Dear God, where are you now
I can feel my hope slipping away
I am losing the will to go on
Take me away

Dry tear ducts
Downcast heart
A rumbling stomach
A spirit shattered from the very start

I wanna fly
I wanna dive
Wanna go further
Challenge limits and go beyond

But now that I have ran a mile
my spirits are down
my mind is in chaos
can't even get to smile

I felt so low
sad and lonely
and tears wont run down
sleep doesn't come

no one to talk to
no one to run to
no arms to find comfort
to laughter to fill in doubts

my emotions are running in circles
too strong, they're starting to resemble black holes
caging in the light
******* in everything upon its sight

Same me, save me please
a bruised heart
a shattered dream
and that's all that I am

O, pluma kong kay rikit
siyang saksi sa'king hirap at sakit
siyang sumpungan sa paghihinagpis
kaibigang kung dumamay ay walang mintis

Sayo'ng piling akong aluin
sama ng loob ko'y hilumin
mga duda't alilangan ko'y pawiin
pag-iimbot ko'y tulungang palipasin

O, plumang mapagtiis
patawad sa aking pag-alis
Mga mata'y kailangan imulat
Isipan ko'y magpapahinga muna sa lahat

Aking kaibigan
aking natuklasan
bawat tinta'ng iyong iniluluha
tila ay isa ring pika

Mga salitang aking isinusulat
ay tila pika na nahambuhay na nakamarka
sa isang pirasong papel
ginugunita, inaalala bawat kasawian

bawat hinagpis at pagpupuyos ng kalooban
mgapikang nagpapaalala, muli't muling sumusugat
sa puso't isipang gustong makalimot
kaya't ika'y kailangang iwanan, aking kaibigan

masakit man sa kalooban
ngunit, marami akong gustong kalimutan
sa'king patuloy na pagsulat
sa muli't muling pagbuklat ng mga aklat

ako'y tila muling buamabalik
sa mga panahong puno ng hinagpis at pasakit
kaya ika'y iiwan
pagkakaibiga'y kalilimutan

paalam aking munting pluma
salamat sa pagdamay at sa magagandang gunita
kay bigat ng aking damdamin
sa paglipas ng panahon ako sana'y iyong magawang patawarin

Oh, fast-paced city I used to call home
when I was little and to and fro I go
I missed you so when they sent me far
to live on the countryside, you left my heart with a big scar

you built me a dream to study in a huge university
You built in me big dreams that only I can see
I was used to the lights that seem to be alive all night
the endless honker of the busy road far from sight

Oh, big, big city I used to cry for you
longing for a vacation, a day or two
But I am a changed young lady now
I am longer attracted to your deceitful show

I can see through your shiny skies
your roads all alive all day and night
It is a wonderful sorrowful world
where there are big crowds but small hearts

where people would do anything just to be continue to live
cheat, steal, lie and never forgive
where money is easily earned and easily spent
where virtue and dignity poses no strength

where words are deceitful
where actions are made on impulses
where decisions are hastily made
to match your fast pace

where people are enslaved by society's toxicity
if there's even such a word to match your cruelty
people here are riders of your jokes
where their hearts are blind
their minds are clouded

people here are selfish as can be
rude as they can possibly be
they all think they are ENTITLED to everything they thought to deserve
where they live like foreigners on their motherland

people open their mouth all the time as intellectuals that they think they all are
like how empty cans clatter
where they think being rude is equal to power

It pains me to go
For Ive been missin’ home
But a stormy sea awaits
And a battle waiting to be won

Oh, sweet, sweet home of mine
There’s none as beautiful and peaceful as you
But I had to leave, and brave the brewing storm
Sharpen my swords and put my armor on

For the battle of my life has just begun
I need to go and learn
To test my skills and grow
To break and mend my sentimental heart

To find my place in this world
To spend a lone time with my Father
To know Him more and obey Him so
To learn the practicality of life

To home, I’d come back running in to you
I’d fly across the seas just to steal a moment with you
I’d cry a river due to the consequences just to come home
I’d trade a good price just so I could feel you again

The first morning dew I breathe
Made me feel the strongest
The first ray of sunlight that shined on me
Gave me the comfort of belonging and safety

It tears my heart to leave again but I have to
If I could stretch the hours, I would
Even if it shall cause my hands to bleed and bones to tear
Even if to robs me of strength, I could hardly care

Oh, your comfort I shall miss for long
I should like to shed tears for you
Weightless tears that mean nothing to the world
My silent plea to stay longer, a few hours more

If a man could live in a moment
I would wish those moments were with you
To bask in the dusty afternoon sweeping off leaves on the backyard
To hope again as the run arises on a new day

To start the day talking to the elderly
Mourning over opportunities lost
And planning for the future
All while sipping a mug of tea

I should like to come home again
To breathe the crisp morning air
To dance in the meadows
And go home with tingly bites of mosquitos

A good eight months long shall I have to wait
A good stretch of patience shall it inculcate
As heartbroken as I can be
beautiful, important things it made me learn and see

That home is where I left
Left, the biggest part of my heart
Where friends were found
And love and family awaits for you all year round

Thus Ive had many homes
But the biggest would be
The one where a huge a mango tree used to be
Where fireflies danced and lizards sung

Where diaries where buried beneath pebbles
Where orchids bloom
Where the air is the sweetest
And the sky at its bluest

I shall come home when the seasons are over
When I am older and stronger
When all has fallen to its proper place
and I am no fazed by fast paced world,


I shall come home when I can already take good care of you...

Mahal kita ngunit pagkakatao'y naiwala
Pagsinta sa iyo lamang ay isasatula
Pag ibig ko sayo'y di na maipadarama
Mainit na yakap mo'y di na     makikilala

Haplos at pagmamahal mo'y di mararanasan
Pagsintang laan sayo'y di nabawasan
Kalinga mo'y siyang hinahanap
"Tayo" na hindi naganap

Sana, Kung sana Lang nagawang makilala ka nang mas maaga
May pagsisdlan ba pantasya Kong pariwala?
Pangarap na sing layo ng mga tala?

Pag asang nilamon ng duda
Pag aming di inakala
Parehong dinarama
Pagsintang walang angkla

Ngunit hanggang saan nga ba
Pagtula't pagtitig sayo mula sa malayo
Mga barumbadong pahayag mo'y totoo sa inakala
Pangarap na kelanma'y di na lalago

Sana nga'y totoo
Sa Diyos ay nagsumamo
Ngunit huli na ang lahat
Pagpasok mo sa seminaryo ba'y dapat?

Ano nga ba't sa huli'y kung tayo rin
Lumuhod man ang mga tala sa munggo't asin
Landas nati'y muli ring magtatagpo
Kapalaran man sa ati'y makipaglaro

I am none of the odds
One of the ordinary sight to the lads
A figure of uncertainty
Imprisoned by the unholy

Enraged by memories of the late
Fire ignited by hate
A warrior disabled
By the cage of my people

Thoughts, feelings dreams unspoken
Unsure of my own brethren
Left in mid air
Is everything in love fair?

Overthrown by the shadows
Outsmarted by the one in cloaks
Can't hate nor shout
For there's death in my brother's mouth


Profanities mumbled in secrecy
Rebellion wrapped in ecstasy
Wounds patched in paisleys
Eyes closed to misery

The moment I won't forget
The feeling I won't ever regret
Oh, I'm still longing for you
The love I never knew


I can't stand a day unot thinking
Not a minute I'd stop reminiscing
All you are is a memory of the past
The past that never was

The longing, loss , pain, it's all in the mind
Like my love for you, silent and still as the starry nights
I let you go
But the heart can't let go something it never had, you know

It was tragic and sad
But it was just my melancholic soul who got it bad
My shattered heart for the emptiness it has
Found you, the vision of my eyes

It's just that it was never meant to be
A fact I refuse to see
You and me will never be
No matter the sun burns the universe burst in awful glee

You will always be a man behind my poems
The destiny never known
A wounded dream, subject of a gazillion what if
A love I'd always wish to have to keep

If only dying is as easy as 1, 2, 3 I'd now be 12 feet underground...

If only living were as easy as the sunrise, then I might have over shone it...

If only living again were as easy as how a mushroom suddenly appears and suddenly goes,

then, I would've thrown a thousand lives in search for a happy and life full of love....

O, kay hirap iliko
agaos ng kapalara'y mapaglaro
pag-inog ng mundo'y nakakatuliro
magulo, waring ulo ng sinto-sinto

pagsinta'y laging napapako
nauudlot gaya ng mga pangako
tanga'y napapagod rin
hinanakit ay ibubulong na lamang sa hangin

patabo'y di rin palagi
nagsasawa rin itong batang laging isinasantabi
pananakit mo'y nakawiwili
tindi ng pagkiling mo'y do magpapahuli

how i wish it were true
my fantasies of me and you
and i could hold on your arms today
and look up at you every single day

i know i'll never know the feeling of your arms
and i can do is look from afar, stare at you like the stars
you and i wont materialize i know
and these feelings i cant show

if i only had the chance
to touch you, love you for a minute, in trance
i'd love to hold your face
feel the warmth of your loving eyes in my soft caress

and all i could do is hope and wish
that there's magic within the princess' kiss
wandering in the lake of "what ifs"
fighting against voicing out my pleas

and in my drams tonight
i wish to have you, hold you tight
wanna show you the love unspoken
dream of fantasy coming alive before i awaken

another day, another morning's coming
and i dont have your hands to squeeze
the comfort i'll never know, but  i'll keep on searching
the love i lost and missed...

Should have met you eons ago
should have crossed paths earlier with you
what would we be now if 'tis true
could have you been my beau

funny how seasons change
and same trees remain
same hearts longing and broken
same me looking

i was a minute late
when we have met
i didn't know. oh i didn't
should have immediately crossed this street

do you miss the neon lights ahead?
sleeping under 5 million stars outside your tent?
cause I, I wonder what it's like
you and me holding the same kite

when the world seems to no longer care,
when there's no longer a friend to spare,
when all things go wrong like its on cue,
where am I gonna find you?

when the walls crumble down,
when there's nowhere to hide my frown,
when life is overthrown by lies,
where will I find your warm smiles?

when foes are strong and real
when wounds no longer heal
when the beauty of the world fades
where will I find a sister forgotten to be given by fate?

when water's thicker than blood
when Santa stops giving hugs,
when daisies wither and die,
where will I find the warmth in your eyes?

when I tumble down and bleed,
where will I find hope's seed?
when all reasons falter,
will I be mocked only by laughter?

when the sun no longer shines and hide,
when knights live and die, come and go,
when my spirits drop low with every ride,
will there be a place for sorrow?

when all's been lost,
when all hearts and ears were closed,
where will I find a mountain to lean on,
where will I find you?

Dearest pain I’ve loved,
Dearest sorrow I’ve long hugged
Dearest heart for long I’ve stabbed
Dearest brain long enough you’ve been scrubbed

Oh, How do dearest pain say he’s in love
With the girl he keeps on being dumped?
How hast thou dearest pain stay in my room,
When there’s no spot for an extra groom?

How come you can’t stop visiting
My messed up aisles of late spring?
Broken and wasted I am,
Can’t think, can’t go on again

Now, do me a favor dearest pain,
I know I’m stupid, dumb and lame,
But will you leave me please leave me alone even if it will be just for today?
Give me a day off or two to pick myself up and know if I’m bound to stay…

Will You? Will you?
There’s nobody I can run to,
Nobody to hold on to,
No reason to continue

I don’t care if you’d wanna come back,
Or bring new sorrow fully loaded in a big sack
Just do me a favor
For today, let me be the conqueror

If this is a war,
I’ve lost to the world by far
But please my dearest pain
Let me compose myself and wipe my tear’s stain

Sure dearest pain I got your sympathy
I don’t need it, just some other time maybe,
I might be needing your jolly company
Dearest pain I’ve loved ,your one fancy catastrophe

Give me some time my dearest
To gain strength for the war to the fullest,
And when I’ve conquered the world,
Ill show you how my life to me is of some worth…

Like the mountains and hills that never meet,
We held our grounds, souls we’ve never seek.
Never did it crossed our minds,
Never did our paths sang the tune of the same chimes.

Always ready, ever ready,
Under the same five billion stars, our tents rest sturdy,
They  never knew what they’ll never know
Bound to be blind over the lights of the show

Guess you and I will never be the same
Might shoulder the same trophies of the game,
But one has to leave, the other must stay,
You and I may look at each other from afar, same feelings we might share

Salute! Our respect for Fleur de Lis is fair,
Wanna see you give command to thine peers,
A wish that will never come true,
Cause between us were bitter dews.

They fancy you and are always true,
You guide and shield against the wrath of the forbidding Jew.
But you left them for His call
Almighty, His words were the warrior’s downfall

Busy streets and neon lights,
Things I wonder if you’d miss tonight…
What happened to the leader of the troop?
The pride and flagship of Charlie’s group?

I wonder the other things the trade has cost,
Or if your just imprisoned I your nutshell and lost in your thoughts.
You had it all, love brains and the honor of thine’s soul,
But, did the angels phone you God’s call?

You’re a riddle I can no longer answer,
You, being a gift lended by the Master Creator,
I wonder if the arrow soared much earlier,
Could have I stopped us to get into trouble?

All you are is all that Im not,
A mirror, a sneak peak of my past,
Yet, you’re a being from stardust,
Meant to shine, soar and be looked upon,
By will never be owned by anyone’s heart.

I used to space out too much
Feelin so alone, full of shame and disgust,
My world glows a faint blue light
Lifeless light of the night’s dim lit sky.

You’re all that I could hope for,
Maybe you’re just too good to be true,
Too good, for me to ask you for more,
But, all I could do is write this poem for you…

You’ll never ever know I feel,
How I know its wrong and yet it feels so right,
Tell me, how will I know its real?
How will I know your words aren’t just products of your senseless flight?

You’re way up there, just too far
Too far for me to hold and reach
Way impossible to join your cluster of stars
Its all a dream, I never thought I could beseech

There you are clueless of how I feel,
Clueless of this shitless sore feeling that would never heal,
Here I am acting like a sick puppy in love
The noob I’ll ever be, same me the world will always have

There you are pretty oblivious of the facts
The shepherd of the flock
You say, thine’s heart belongs to the poor,
What about the love struck fool?

Will I ever get to say goodbye?
Will I ever gat to tell you how you light up my sky?
Will this feeling get to be heard,
Will I forever be looking over my shoulder of all the hurt?

Coz honestly, I do like you too,
From the start you never knew,
You’ll never know what I always knew,
Will never get to wear my shoe.

Coz I heard it all along,
I heard your pretty little song,
So confused I am ‘bout  your tune,
So did the soul got pale as the moon!

How I wish I’ve been prepared for more of this,
But tempus fugit and your all at ease,
You’ll never know I had it hard for you,
You’ll never hear me say it before you.

Coz you’re a disaster in shiny old parcel,
You **** the life out of me,
Ignorant, stupid mongrel,
I’ve waited all this time for you to see…

Cant believe Im leaving
All these years I’ve spent becomes a little farther, moving
No, I cant stop time
It slips from this good grip of mine

Crossroads, Oh crossroad ahead
I hope to meet you there again, a friend
Im so torn, this cut’s too deep
Cant bear a glimpse of it

You know, I don’t wanna leave
But what’s ahead drags me quick
Cant contain my deepest doubts and fears
How I wish you’d be there when I’d weep

Wastes millions of seconds staring blankly ahead,
Humorless, lifeless but nothing’s worth the wait
Now Im turning my head back
Wanna see and all that I couldn’t bring in my backpack

Not yet ready to face the world
Oh, No, not yet, not now a warrior enduring a gravely wound
No, not now, just not yet
Not yet ‘till the last laughter I’ve spent

Cant I just stay?
No, the world keeps my worries at bay
How I wish I could keep your laugh underneath my pillow
Comfort me, bring me home as I sail deep, deep,  just below

Much more uncertain than ever,
Now Im blinded by the shallow waters
Cant find my compass’ bearing
Don’t know what Im searching

All I wanna do is stare at my rearview mirror
Hoping against hope, on the way I’d find shelter
Too lost I am
Too confused, too shattered too bewildered to claim.

This world full of sorrow and hate,
I tried to get to the bottom of the lake
Tried to keep hold of fate,
and maybe change things for the better and escape

How’d you deal if people kept on pushing you away
When you’d want at least someone to make you stay
When all you try to do is say hey
And it was like all this lonely May

Talkin’ like a big talker
And no one wants to respond either.
So how’s that for a start?
From the beginning you have that broken heart.

Like that complicated up-do,
No one wants to be with you
How is it being bullied and neglected
Instead of  being cared for and accepted?

When your silence is taken up for malice
When your smiles for slyness
When people around you keeps on judging you
When sick ******* mock you.

When my world was just this empty space
And nothing could compare with anything else
It was damp and pitch dark
And the last thing you’d want to see is a sky lark?

Im suffocated, feelin’ more like Ill be executed
The last thing you’ll need for the day to end up dead
Is spoiled pasta and bread.
Hair soaked in oozing smelly ****** red

All I see is the dull ocean
Black and white Dalmatian
Words and thoughts coming in and out of my head
Like a spinning wheel with a dull glossy thread.

Time’s my mortal enemy
Of you I had much to envy
You take away what you want
As ugly as the witches’ chant

Just as painful as cutting my heart
With you Mr. Time they’re gone
With, them that you want
It flashes before my naked eyes
All time that were never lies

You don’t know what’s the value of what you take
Give me a joker half *****
Nevertheless you’re ignorant
Of what’s to me is important

You see, you always win
You selfish mister who’s clever and keen!
But you know, Your kind
To give me a better find

More or less you’re a blessing in disguise
To protect children whom he created so wise!
You heal your subjects’ wound
Tamed Hades’ feral hound

Thank God you’re there!
To give the downtrodden’s share!
You’re the wind that floats
The rain that grooves!

Kabataa’y minsan lamang kung dumalaw,
Kaligayaha’t halakhaka’y umaalingawngaw
Oras ay tumatakbo
singbilis ng tibok ng puso

Oras ang kumakain sa tanan
Pagbabago’y siyang tahanan
Paglayo’y di man dama
Agwat ay di kayang hilai’t isama

Noon at ngayong panahon
Kayo’y narito, ako’y naroon
Aking nasilaya’y di niyo maikukumpara
Sa inyong mundong bumubungad sa tuwina

Pangaral ay mano po at opo
Pagluhod sa butyl ng monggo
Pag uwi bago ang ala-sais
Mga tamis anghang na pulang dilis!

Pag-akyat ng matarik na bundok
Tuhod na kung lakas sumuntok
Kalarong di makatiis
Sa pagtakbo’y humahagibis

Langit, lupa, mahuli ang taya,
Sing saya tuwing gunita.
Paglalaro ng apir-apiran at teks,
Ice tubig, sili…. Ngeks!

Ganyan ang aming buhay noon
Nakasakay sa ulap nang mga hamon
Kayo ngayo’s nasaan,
Mga batang sa ami’y nakipaghalinhinan?


Kompyuter, telebisyon, at Nintendo Wii,
Cellphone at iPad para sa sarili
Sining ng pagtula’t musika,
Nakaliligtaan na!

Sa mga mata ng panahon,
Makikita ang salamin ng kahapon
Di man naabot ng inyong kamalayan
Sapat nang silipin ang nakaraan

Inyong panaho’y ‘wag sayangin
Darating din ang araw ng mabilis na hangin
Magdadala sa inyo sa malayong himpapawirin
At nakaraa’y inyong lubos na nanaisin.

Sng oras ay oras,
Sa kanya, tayo’y patas
Sa buhay, tayo’y maglalaro
Sa kanyang mga hintuturo.

Lahat ng nawala sa dagat ng panahon,
Kailanma’y din a ibabalik pa ng mga alon
Mga isda nga’y nagpapailalim
Kaya’t marahas na kinabukasa’y wag suungin

Magngyari’t lasapin ang halakhakan,
Takbuhan sa piling ng mga kaibigan
Wag sayangin sa pagkukulong
sa mundo ng pag-ibig, gadgets at pagsulong!

The world is a court
The criminals to death
The worst invented sport
The reddest blood ever spilled

Sending an arrow to flight
Without the slightest might
Towards the aimless sea
And the mighty warrior flee

The strongest storms ripples and triples in thee
While the sweetest winds never lands on a tree
The quiver of thy arrows
The faltering promises and vows

The purest of the pure
When lost in cure
A slap for a chum
Comes a rough muted hum

Never heard of the sweetest ****
Actions failed to mount thine hill
Songs never with notes
Three fold empty boats

When ends don’t meet
Anger shows its gritted teeth
What is it that sees but cant feel
So its wounds, sand to stone and never heal.

Oh, how your eyes used to twinkle
How they dance and sparkle
Just the way your lips curve into a smile
I just knew I can always travel back in time

Your so wonderful, beautiful
You just don’t see, don’t know
Gave me picture perfect memories
I’ll treasure them like the morning daisies

So, so lucky I found you
Im so glad I am somebody to you
Never really thought all these years
You’d be there to wipe away my tears

You’re the person who knows my deepest fears
I know there’ll always be a YOU just so near
Told you I trust you so bold and true
Coz you know you’re a one in a million, just so few

‘Tis your crisp laughter I wont forget
Meeting you, I will never ever regret
Your sorrow, I swear I’ll always turn into happiness
Coz I can’t bear to see you in sadness


I wish I can carry the brightness of your spirit
Wherever I go I may draw strength from it
Wish I can memorize your every breath
wish I can make your chuckles the sheet of my bed

You held me up when Im so down
You made me hold my chin up when I was about to drown
You gave me a thousand reasons to trust again
You’re my hero in iron cape, shinin’

Hey, Im gonna tell you I wont say goodbye
Though these years, Ive been abnormally shy
I’ll know we’ll be several miles apart,
Don’t worry you’ve always got my shoulders and my heart

Its graduation by tomorrow
Say, it’s the saddest day of the show
But ”BESTFRIEND” I shall call you no matter what
Hold my hand and together we’ll take the best shot.

All I need you to do is trust me
Hold my hand tight and you’ll see
I wish upon tonight’s brightest star
You and Your smiles will stay, wont change through all the upcoming wars.

Nagkalat-kalat na mga lupain
Tayo sa kanya’y mga panauhin
Nangag mula sa isang lipi
Ganda niya’y sa puso namutawi

Oo nga’t siya’y marikit
Mga biyaya sa kanya’y di pinagkait
Minsa’y tinaguriang perlas ng silangan
Nakilala bilang ating Inang bayan

Lupain nang mga datu’t mandirigma
Ng prinsesa’t mandirigmang si Urduja
Mababanaag sa kanyang mukha
Katapatan, respeto’t mga paniniwala

Iningatan ng mga mapagbiling ninuno
minahal at niyakap nang taos sa puso
itong lupang ating pinananahanan
ating pinangalagaang lubusan




Minalas nga’t nilingon ng mga dayuhan
Lupang itinago ng mga karagatan,
Dala daw nila’y kaligtasan at kapayapaan,
Yun pala’y hangad nila ating bundok na yaman

Españang eskultor nang kapalaluhan
Tagapagdala ng mga salot ng kinabukasan
Baboy na mga putting inutil
Mga lapastangang mga kanluranin!




Tinuran nilang Indio’t mangmang
Dinuraan at sa putik ay pinagapang
Pinayuko’t pinaluhod  sa Niñong santo
Santong pinambulagan ng mapaglilong demonyo!

Alipin nila kung pandilatan,
Mga uto utong pinagkikindatan
Likas na mga katutubong maamo
Tiningala silang kaibigang totoo

Nakaambang mga tigre’y inamo’t pinatulog
Pinaamo nang mabagsik na mga kulog
Sa bagsik ng pluma’t itak
Napukaw mga mandirigmang hinamak


Gitlang mga hilaw na labanos
Nagsipag kuha ng mga pistola’t español na naghihikahos
Di inakalang mga Indio’y matututong lumaban
Gumising para sa kapakanan niya’t kalayaan

Estrelya ng pag-asa’y kanilang nasilayan
Sinambot ang kamalayan at kanlurang katuruan
Sa mga ganid na Kastila’y inihain
Balaraw ng karunungang matalim

Ritaso ng nakaraan, ngayon at kinabukasan
Piagtagpi tagpi, tinahi’t tinapalan
Mga pulo’y pinaglapit
Mga puso’t hanari’y naging isa kahit saglit

Epiko ng ating pinagmula’y muling nabuo
Ating lahi’y tumayo’t hinarap ang mundo
Laking galak na lamang natin sa pluma ni gat Jose Rizal
Sa kanyang dunong na nagmula sa Maykapal.

For words I’m lost
For the things I love the most
Don’t know what’s really in my mind
Don’t know what stuffs I may find

Once thought it’d be best to stay out of love’s way
Be it for family, friends & boys… But Hey!
You caught me just yesterday
And gullible me thought that this friendship would stay

Thought I had my last cry
And now, can’t run, cant fly
There’s no way out darling!
Really hat myself! Such a dork! A weakling!

Thought Ive been strong
Never had been so overwhelmingly wrong!
You crashed my walls
Tore open my bleeding wounds

How come I saw an angel in you?
When all you are is a script or two?
For all my hopes and dreams Ive lost
Because of the acting lady host

Now I cant find my way out
Trapped in a peace so loud
What have you done Oh distressed damsel?
Oh pitiful turncoat of a scavenger in a hotel?

You made me think I'm your wall,
I'm your strongest ally of all souls?
You told me I'm fine as I am!
But your eyes said I WAS nothing but a hopeless mime!

Cant understand your silent words
Your innocent eyes’ cost
You’re a hurricane
A tidal wave so disastrous yet plain!

Get lost now before I'm lost
Before its too late and I’d be bitten by frost
So, here we are quarreling
Let just stay from each other before everything gets confusing…

changes,
They’re embroidered on my blood
Next to nothing were changes
If they ever go unnoticed, im sure they’re not
Sure as hell I know they would haunt

Haunt my ghost from hell
To bring into life the story I'd never tell
There was a time I feel breathless
When the walls would brush against each other and leave me crushed
Oh, and I could tell I’m helpless

Sure as hell I'd never forget
The changes, the things I regret
They say “ just grow up”
I cant, I wont
I just don’t want to…

The stars used to shine so bright
Now, im asking, wondering,
why were they obstructed from my sight?

Oh, id hate to change
Id hate to be somebody else,
But I have to,
I know its more than true
Gotta face the world
Gotta step into the spotlight

Ive got to have my revenge,
Got to get out of this unfathomable trench
Cause things would change!
Hopefully, they’d be good for me
Tears tear up my flesh
I feel it, I see it
Cant stand it no longer,
Gotta let go for now,
But I'll be back
Back as the same me
With so much things I've learned from the world
Numb from so much hurt

It might bleed me to death
But wounds were nothing
Nothing to compare with my shattered heart

Gotta let go
For once I'd let it show
But I'll be  back
I'll be back and you'll keep coming for more!

I'll be better,stronger
And to me you'll look up
See the lady you didn't see in me
I'll be better stronger
Far from you

Ill grow up not for you
Ill grow up for myself
Knowing it’s the only way to escape
Wont let your threads twist  my arms
Wont let your strings tangle my head

I'll be back for you
I'll show you its true
Show you I'll be fine
Fine without your shadow's hue!

I'll be leaving for now
But I'll be back
I'll be back when you least expect it
I'll be back when the lights are no longer lit…
And you’ll see, I'll be with the stars
I'll be telling you, “ stars wont shine when the sun crazily sparks”
Cause stars are only beautiful as the night goes deeper!
