Spectacular memories you fulfill

Incredible dreams that you came true

Xanthan through the years for your families and friends

Timeless as ever, still looks young and beautiful

You are fabulous and redefine it all your own

To my Mother's Best Friend

Hear Me. See Me.

 

I can clearly hear you,

Yet, I am deaf on my own,

I can clearly see you,

Yet, I am blind on my own.

Deaf on my own voice,

I only listen to one sound,

Blind on my own eyes,

I only look onto myself.

The sound of my own,

Put me in danger as I listen,

As I put myself only to see,

I do not see the danger that surround.

Yet, you are still there calling,

Never stop to whisper that save me,

And you keep me in light,

Never leave me into the darkness.

Sa Likod ng mga Mata

 

May mga nakikita na hindi nakikita ng mga mata lamang,

Mga pangyayaring hindi madaling ipaliwanag na lamang.

 

Dahil hindi lahat ng dapat na makita ginagamitan ng mga mata,

Dahil sa likod ng mga nakatagong kaganapan walang silbi ang mga mata.

 

Mga pangyayaring hindi maipaliliwanag ng salita lamang,

Mga tagpong mahirap hanapan ng mga madaling kasagutan lamang.

 

Dahil sa likod ng mga hindi nakikita,

May mga lihim na nakatago na hindi nakikita.

 

Mga lihim na iilan lamang ang nakakakita,

Ngunit hindi lahat kayang ipaliwanag ng nakakakita.

 

Hindi sapat na makita mo lamang ang mga nakakubling kaganapan,

Dahil sa bawat tagpong iyong makikita ito’y nababalot ng misteryosong kaganapan.

 

Mga misteryong mahirap bigyan ng kahulugan,

Misteryong nagaganap ng tahimik at may lihim na kahulugan.

 

At sa bawat misteryo may dalawang kulay ang makikita,

Dalawang simpleng kulay na maglalarawan sa makikita.

 

Isang puti at isang dilim na may makaibang kahulugan,

Nakatutuwa at nakakatakot na mga kahulugan.

 

Ngunit isa man sa dalawang kulay na masisilayan,

Ang bigyan ito ng kahulugan sa realidad ay hindi agad masisilayan.

 

Dahil anuman ang nais nitong ipakahulugan upang matanggal ang misteryo,

Ay isang pag-suot sa butas ng karayom na mga mata’y nakapikit sa hinaharap na misteryo.

 

… May mga nakikita man ang ating mga mata sa mundo ng realidad,

Sa kadilimang nababalot ng nakasarang mata may misteryong hindi maipaliliwanag ng realidad.

December Night

 

Here I am alone and sadness graphs me again,

In silence, I listen to the tune of pain.

As the hours of darkness shade my surrounding,

I conceal myself away from everything.

Unwanted... I was defeated by this grief,

Deaf in the tone of belief.

Heart begins to fall apart; I cannot break free,

As the cold begins to embrace me.

I thought I have nothing to gain,

Then, I seem to hear those songs again.

Joy knock at my doorstep, giving me a tone of hope,

Warm my soul; Giving me a chance to cope.

Finally, you're home and once again, I hear you sing,

In this cold winter night, you give me spring.

Now we're dancing in the music of Maytime in this December night.

Daan

 

Anong meron sa daang aking tinatahak?

Sa daang malinaw ko namang nakikita,

Ngunit unti-unting naglalaho sa bawat hakbang.

Ano ang aking nakita at nasaksihan?

Sa daang wala na atang katapusan,

Na dahan-dahang naglalaho sa bawat hakbang.

Anong simbolo ang nais ipahiwatig ng mga daan?

Sa bawat hakbang na aking tinatahak,

May mga misteryong bumabalot sa bawat daan.

Anong bumabalot sa daang unti-unting naglalaho?

Daang mahiwaga na maraming ipinapakita,

Mga iba't ibang misteryong naglalarawan sa bawat daan.

Anuman ang nais ipahiwatig ng daang aking tinatahak

Sa paglipas ng mga oras; diwa'y magkakamalay,

Unti-unting naglalaho; nabubura sa kamalayan.

Anuman ang nasaksihan o nakita sa daang iyon

Naglahong lahat sa pagmulat ng mga mata,

Nawala na parang bula; tuluyan nang nabura sa kamalayan.

You: My Only Sun

 You are my sun rise

That wakes me up in my nightmare,

You are my light ray

That guides me out of this darkness.

The light that I follow

Out of this void that consume me,

The warm that I need

Out of this cold which embrace me.

You are my only guide

That will keep me safe,

You are my only heat

That will warm my soul.

Like the sun above

You are my sun through this dark,

Like the fire that ignites around

You are my only coat through this cold.

'PAALAM'

 

Gaano kahirap ang salitang... 'PAALAM'?

Gaano katagal matanggap ang pamamaalam?

 

Kung sa bawat paalam may mga maiiwan,

Sa bawat pamamaalam maraming naiwan.

 

Gaano kasakit sa maiiwan ang pamamaalam?

Kung sa bawat naiwan hindi lahat ay nakapagpaalam.

 

Kung sa bawat katapusan ay kailangang mag-paalam,

Sa bawat huling sandali hindi mawawala ang pamamaalam.

 

Sa mga maiiwan, ang sakit ay hindi madaling mawala,

Hindi madaling matanggap ang anumang pamamaalam.

 

Ngunit dumadating ang katapusan na hindi mapipigilan,

Hindi kailanman maiiwasan ang katapusan na mahirap pigilan.

Stop Everything

 

There are times that I wanted to stop

I just wanted to sleep forever,

Because the emptiness is too much at top

I cannot hold on to it longer.

 

I can smile and laugh

I am not just pretending or anything,

Though the truth it is too tough

I cannot longer stop my longing.

 

I just simply want to stop

I want to do nothing anymore,

I just want to flop

I wanted nothing to look for.

 

These feelings is too over whelming

I cannot longer feel happy,

I can laugh but nothing is reaching

I am no longer feeling lively.

 

I keep breathing yet I am dying

Deep within I feel empty,

I do not want these feeling

I just want to stop everything that makes me feel so empty.

... Never Return

 This is unexpected

I remember you,

Thinking of you

This is unexpected.

Yet I remember

Our old days,

Each passing days

I clearly remember.

To my surprise

Not our beginnings,

It's beyond beginnings

End with surprise.

Our last moments

Being together alone,

Being forever alone

No more moments.

The day ends

As you leave,

Just quietly leave

Alone till end.

Questions and more

But never answer,

Leave without answer

I remember more.

Pain and sorrow

You just left,

Nothing just left

Alone in sorrow.

You never return

With no explanation,

Even simple explanation

You never return.

Jr.

Darker

Morning came

Yet I see darkness,

Evening came

Darkness becomes darker.

Sunrise brightly shines

Yet I see no light,

Sunset cover the shines

Yet darkness shade darker.

Another day for new life

Yet I feel nothing,

Another night for another life

And I feel nothing, it keeps darker.

Days are present

I feel the void in greater,

Nights for new present

The void keeps darker and darker.

Sakit

 

Sakit…

Ang sakit pala kapag nakita mo na,

Iyong solid na totoong-totoo na.

 

Umiyak…

Gusto kong umiyak pero walang luha,

Kahit anong piga ko wala pa ring luha.

 

Sakit…

Sa sobrang sakit nanginginig ang buong kalamnan ko,

Sa sobrang sakit wala akong madama sa sarili ko.

 

Lungkot…

Hindi ko alam kung lungkot nga ba ito,

Basta hindi ko maintindihan kung anuman ito.

 

Sakit…

Handa naman ako pero bakit parang sampal ang katotohanan?

Handa na nga ba ako o ngayon lang nang makita ko ang katotohanan?

 

Nakakalito…

Dahil alam kong nasasaktan ako pero,

Walang luha at puro na lang pero…?

 

Sakit…

Bakit ganon? Ano ba itong nadarama ko?

Sakit nga ba? Ganon lang ba itong nadarama ko?

 

Katotohanan…

Hindi siya naging akin, hindi kailanman nagtapat,

Ngunit nasaktan ako sa katotohanan, sa hindi ko pagtatapat.

 

Katotohanan…

Sa ibang piling na siya masaya ngayon,

Dapat ko nang iwan ang nakaraan at tanggapin ang ngayon.

 

Sakit…

Sa hindi ko pag-amin ng tunay kong nadarama,

Ngunit may pagsisisi man, huli na ako upang ipaalam ang aking nadarama.

I am Drowning

 How long should I hold my breath?

Even though water isn't present,

I continue to drown in deep

I try to swim up still I continue to submerge,

Going deep isn't my plan

Yet I keep on sinking it's hard to escape.

I cannot breathe.

I cannot shout.

Help can only be heard through my mind,

In my eyes, help is written

I am drowning from these unknown feelings.

How can I describe these feelings?

I feel so light,

I feel so empty,

I feel so lost.

And it keeps embracing me,

Drown me through this unknown loneliness.

I suffocate as I continue to sink

I keep on fighting, still I am losing,

Help, I wanted to scream

But my voice already left me a long time ago,

Words only stay in my mind.

I feel so alone in this deep unknown

Fill me with pain and sorrow.

I cannot go up, I keep on sinking

I keep going down through deep.

 

Emotions losing and only loneliness stays,

I don't know what to do

I am losing through this loneliness,

I am drowning.

Let Me Love...

 ...

I want to love

I want to be with someone,

Yet I cannot love

I cannot be with someone.

 

I am so sad

I feel so lost,

I cannot stop not to feel sad

Where do I go if I am so lost?

 

I want to love freely

Let myself to love someone else,

I don't want to feel so sad

I don't want to feel so lost,

I want to find someone freely

Just let me love someone else.

"I Hate You!"

 

I hate you!

How many times did I tell you those words?

I don't know and I did not count.

It takes a long time and still I speak those words.

 

I hate you!

It hurts so badly I don't know what to do.

I am in pain so much I suffer long.

It so hard and I still don't know what to do.

 

I hate you!

I hate you so much I suffer.

I don't want to feel it anymore.

Now, I hate myself as I see myself suffer.

Darkness: A Deep Mystery

 

 

How far can you go through this deepest darkness from within?

Are you ready to go beyond the unseen... the unknown?

Be part of a world that will keep you in danger within,

A world no one can explore or see... a place of unknown.

 

Fear, sorrow, pain might be encounter through deepest darkness

No one knows how far it will take you in deep mystery,

And yet you continue to go on and search through darkness

Try to unfold and to solve its entire deep mystery.

My Dear Mind

 

Oh, my dear mind, what keeps you in trouble?

That takes away all your peace of mind, - Oh,

My dear mind, I don't want you to struggle

Whatever troubles you just let it go.

 

Oh, dear mind, stop thinking of your worries

Don't let it troubles you along the way,

It is like a pest that gives you disease

That will shade your life in sorrow and grey.

Shadows

 Shadows

Hide from the dark.

Without a spark.

They live through deep.

Where darkness seep.

No one can plea.

Consume you until you drown.

Fear will seep through.

That can never breakthrough.

Mystery and History

 ...

 

Mystery

It revolves on us,

History

A past we can never discuss.

 

Why?

A question I always ask,

Reply...

Never been your task.

 

Remember

I don't want to,

Surrender

I need to do.

 

Questions

No more and just move on,

Directions

Away from you and move on.

 

Mysteries

No more about that word,

Histories

Let past be past to move forward.
