Someday

Someday
love will suffice
memories will be made
stories will be told

Someday
life will make sense
dreams will be fulfilled
hope will burn strong

Someday
tears will stop falling
hearts will smile
pain will fade

Someday
truth will prevail
moments will last
spirits will be free

For time heals

Yours Truly

Here's to you
the bearer of my soul
the essence of my life
the wonder of my spirit

May your joy
exceed my own
equal your dreams
embody your desires

Leave me here
and let me be
admiring your face
awaiting your presence

Find solace
in the light of day
in the setting sun
in another's arms

For you
I will be happy

Angel Of Music (Inspired by The Phantom of the Opera)

Angel of Music
hear my cry
soothe these feelings
the melody of my soul

Angel of Music
be my breath
my life is yours
I succumb to your call

Angel of Music
hide my shame
seek not my face
believe not in their lies

Angel of Music
sing my song
nostalgic tunes
of fleeting memories

Angel of Music
spread my wings
open my eyes
that with you I may fly

COMPOSITION

I've been living in the past..
lost in the fine threads of time..
unable to define what is real..
from what I really want..

I still dream about us..
happily dancing beneath a sea of stars..
or under the pouring rain..
like a hopeless romantic would..

I'm fond of the cliches..
that make lovers' worlds turn round..
sometimes I wish it was all different..
maybe then it wouldn't hurt as much..

I remember the sound of your laughter..
were you truly happy then?
or was it a mockery of my emotions?
did I laugh with you and you laughed at me?

it's not that we were perfect together..
we were a disaster waiting to happen..
ours was a survival story..
or so I thought it would be..

so I believed in ever afters..
ever after miseries..
I'd rather be in pain than in love..
'cause at least the pain'll go away..

don't be surprised if I can't move on..
'cause for every step I take forward..
your memory makes me take a hundred back..
it's not that I can't, I just don't want to forget..

I know you still feel my presence..
those stolen glances of hidden admiration..
immobilized by the logic of restraint..
yet still longing for the promise of forever..

falling in love jumpstarts the poetry..
the license comes from getting hurt..
but it'll never be a good enough reason..
for you to say you can't be happy..

I'm really running out of words..
trying to find a way to end this silly piece..
but maybe, just maybe, the ending's not the answer..
for all endings are merely new beginnings..

MIDNIGHT

Seven days she says goodbye
but never means a word of her utterance.
She jumps down to feel the impact of the ground,
the fall itself serves as her daily morphine.
She laughs.

Her face, once as fine and fair as the moon’s light,
now lay disfigured, desecrated by her own two hands.
The scars are symbols of her pride
for the pain she feels is the only real thing left.
She laughs again.

Midnight, the bells ring incessantly in her mind.
Like a melody echoing through church walls
she finds the darkness ever so suitable
an embodiment of the solemnity of her thoughts.
She laughs more.

She sees beyond the light offered by pagans
and she declines the warmth of the blazing fire.
Her only salvation, it comes to her
in a black hooded cloak with a shimmering scythe.
She laughs harder.

She lays it all at his feet.
She breaks the chains that bind her to her mortality.
No tears are spent for she dearly loves to laugh.
One fell swoop is all it takes.
Her laughter echoes.

Silence.

As Art Is In Me

Hindi ba’t pareho lang naman kami?
Lalaki siya, babae ako.
Yun lang naman ang pagkakaiba.
Maliit lang naman di ba?
Mahal niya rin naman ako.
Tulad ng pagmamahal ko sa kanya.
Hindi niyo iyon mapagkakaila.
Kailan man hindi niyo iyon mapagkakaila.
Hindi ba’t sa inyong mga mata,
Pati na rin sa mga mata ng iba,
Pareho lamang kaming dalawa
Na anak ng Panginoon?
Pareho kaming nagmamahal sa Kanya.
Kung ganoon naman pala,
Bakit hindi pwedeng lubusan naming
Mahalin ang isa’t-isa?
Kailan ba naging kasalanan ang magmahal?
Nagmamahal din naman kayo.
Hindi ba?
Dahil ba sa alagad siya ng Diyos?
Dahil ba siya’y isang haligi ng krus?
Ilang taon pa naman bago niya iwan ang lahat.
Hindi ba pwedeng
Sa panahon na iyon,
Akin na muna siya?

Rage

Humanity..
I laugh at your naivety..
I pity your ignorance..
I detest your arrogance..

pathetic...

Sana..

Sana..

sa tuwing tumitingin ka sa mga bituin,
at namamangha ka sa dami nila,
maalala mong heto akong nag-iisa,
nangangarap na sana'y bituin din ako
nang sa gayun ay pagmasdan mo rin ako
kahit paminsan-minsan lang.

Sana..

sa bawat hakbang ng mga paa mo,
maisip mo kung gaano kasakit,
na nakikita kitang naglalakad
na papalayo ng papalayo sa akin.
umaasa na sana'y ang patutunguhan mo
ay kung saan naroon ako.

Sana..

sa tuwing natutulog ka ng mahimbing,
lahat ng mga panaginip mo'y
naghahatid sa'yo ng saya
na alam kong di ko mapapantayan.
dahil alam ko rin na kailan ma'y
di ako magiging laman ng mga panaginip mo.

Sana..

balang araw mabuksan ang mga mata mo
nang makita mong may nagmamahal sayo
ng higit pa sa inaakala mo.
at ibabalik mo ang damdaming iyon
sa taong nagpaligaya sa'yo
at nagmahal sa'yo ng lubos.

Sana..

sa pagdating ng araw na iyon,
maging masaya rin ako para sa'yo.
Dahil narito ako sa harapan mo
pero hindi mo nakikitang,
mas mahal kita
kaysa sa taong minamahal mo ngayon.



I wish..

that everytime you look at the stars
and marvel at their number
you remember me,while I'm here alone
wishing I was a star
so that you'd look at me too
even for just a moment.

I wish..

that with each step you take,
you realize how painful it is
for me to see you walking
farther and farther away from me.
hoping that wherever you're going
is where I am right now.

I wish..

that everytime you're sleeping soundly,
every dream you have will
bring you happiness
that I know I can never give you.
'cause I know that I will never
be the subject of your dreams.

I wish..

that someday you'll open your eyes
so you can see that you are loved
more than you've ever imagined.
and you'll give back that same emotion
to the person who's made you happy
and has loved you unconditionally.

I wish..

that when that day comes,
I'll be happy for you too.
'cause here I am infront of you
but you fail to see
I love you so much more
than the person you're loving right now.

Bakit?

Umuwi ka nung minsan,
may dalang rosas.
Natuwa ako,
bihira mong gawin yun.

Hindi ka rin nagbabasa,
pero may hawak kang libro.
"The Tragedy of Macbeth"
paborito kong libro.

Pinagluto kita,
halata namang di mo gusto
inubos mo parin,
sumakit tuloy tiyan mo.

Nagpatawa ako,
corny yung joke.
Pero sinakyan mo parin ako,
natawa ako sa sarili ko.

Bakit..
Mahal mo ba ko?

Her...

The way you touch my hand,
how it fits mine so perfectly
as we take that walk together
and laugh at random things..

Or when we cuddle in the sofa,
and watch our favorite movie
and throw popcorn at each other
just for the fun of it..

When the rain pours outside,
you hug me ever so tenderly
and you hum our favorite song
along with the rain's melody..

When you try your best,
to prepare my favorite meal
even though you don't get it right
your smile makes up for everything,,

In all those little things,
I know how you feel..
How much you show your love..
how perfect you can be..

too bad..

I see it in your eyes..
Whenever you look at me so deeply..
I know that who you see..
Is her and never me..
