Poems

Fill up my Senses

I love watching rainbows
Like bridge beneath the heaven
And hear whispers of the streams
Like melodies in strings
To engulf the scent of the meadows
That is perfume to a lonesome soul
The sweetness of honey
Make me want for more
And to find my self again
In your warm embrace
All of these are nothing
And I will never miss
All I need is you…
To fill up my senses.

Love to last

To love someone like you
Is not for me to do
But I can’t push the thought of you aside
You’re always in my mind.

You are such a beauty to long…
A vulnerable little thing to care,
Like a fragile delicate crystal
That no one seems to dare.

Your gaze full of passion that so bold
Is like this mysterious feeling I hold.
That lovely smile you shared to me
Is my sunshine in a gloomy day

I can’t wait, too long is a lifetime
Though this love respect no time
All my heart and soul ever desire
Is to forever love you and be mine.

Memories

I tried to grip memories of our past
In my numbing callous palm
Hoping that it’s still there
Waiting for my journey back

But none,
everything is now gone

piece by piece
frame by frame
I wheeled it back
But emptiness,
oblivion is all in there

Why it took you so long to come back?
And let me take my life back?
Why just now where there’s no time
And too early for another lifetime.


Sail away


I’ll fetch you in my mind tonight
And put you in my dream
To sail with you once again
In this river of imagining

While the world is broken
In shadow and light
You are here beside me
Making out this life

I don’t want this night to end
I don’t want to lose you in the morning
‘Coz here you’re holding me tight
Though I know ‘tis just a dream.


Silakbo

Panatikong pusong ayaw tantanan
Pagtibok na para sa iyo lamang
Kahit pangil ng unos sa kanya may pumagitna
Pag-ibig pa rin ang luwalhating nakikita

Sa dami ng huwad na pagmamahal
Na sa iyo’y dumaa’t umiwan ng sugat
May lakas pa ring ako’y imulat
Puso ko’y sinagip sa bukal ng hirap

Bigat ng mundo pasan man ng puso
Kung ika’y kapiling kakayanin ko
Lupa’t parang ma’y lamunin ng laot
Tanggap ko ‘wag lang ang iyong paglimot.

I take a Vow

I take a bow
For all the things I have done
All the miseries I’ve caused you
And all the beauties that’s gone.

I take a bow
Now that my time is near
The smile on my face is real
Though pain is mine to bear

I take a bow
Be gone, leave nothing but tears
To run away from this damn place
And never come back for years

I take a bow
And go, as if I was that strong
Forget everything that I long
Though I know - that I was wrong.
