Same Place with Something New

 ...

Same place

Same directions,

With a different pace

And different actions.

Yet the place never change

No matter how long I visit,

It just continue to range

I can no longer stop to revisit.

I venture once again

To see something new,

To explore more to gain

Same place with new view.

I know how to begin

To where I go and explore,

Though danger may come in

I still want to know what to store.

See something new in this place

Something to add up my list,

Even if danger may face

I will risk everything to persist.

Jr.

Nowhere to Go

 

Lost... I am lost once again

From this unknown pain,

I have nothing to gain.

I want to escape and run

Yet I am totally ban,

I have nowhere to go and run.

I want to stop everything

This madness is keep grilling,

I am cook to nothing.

I am so lost I don't know what to do

I have nowhere to go not even a clue,

I am just simply lost, nothing I can do.

Jr.

How long will you understand yourself?

 

How long will you understand yourself?

When your time is just beginning?

When your time is ongoing?

When your time is up to ending?

Or was it when you are already gone?

Mystery; A powerful explanation for yourself,

Nothing has a concrete answer to any of those questions.

Nothing has concrete feelings to understand those notions.

Nothing has a concrete mind to clear those interrogations.

Not even death can explain everything that holds mystery.

Now, how long will you truly understand yourself?

Yesterday cannot be answer anything.

Now is not possible for a thing.

Tomorrow is unpredictable for everything.

No definite day, time and year to understand one self.

To understand one self is a mystery,

No beginning,

No ending,

No middling.

Not even our love ones know you that much.

The end with too many questions,

Questions cannot be answer.

Questions hold on like cancer.

Questions keep on moving like a good dancer.

That end with; How long will you understand yourself?

Jr.

Sadness Pain

 

Sadness,

Once again says, 'Hello'.

Slowly crawling and dipping in,

Now, it becomes my fellow.

Pain,

Begin to creep.

Embrace my inner deep,

No time to leap.

I cry as they begin to come,

Fold me into madness.

I'm about to lose my calm,

Now, I feel like a mess.

Back into the dark,

No escape once again.

I can no longer remark,

No more voice to scream.

I am losing from this pain,

Hurt from unknown sadness.

I have nothing to gain,

As my heart descend into deep.

Jr.

How to Begin With?

 ...

How to begin with?

I know nothing to answer,

Whenever I am down; crawling, hurting, suffering

It was always you who always find me,

Even if I hide my feelings, it will always reach out for you.

How to begin with?

When my 'goodbye' finally find its 'traitor',

Written or unwritten... you always present yourself

Whenever I'm on the edge of falling,

It will always you saving me out of my darkest times.

How to end with?

If the beginning always end up to begin with you?

...

Jr.

'Goodbye'

 

My emotions suddenly run dry

As the day goes by and by,

My feelings for you go bye.

No longer burden with thy memories

Even if I was wounded without remedies,

Everything just stops as it slowly dies.

You are no longer my longing

Not even my belonging,

Yet I don't know where I am going.

Those feelings I have for you

Blocks my entire view,

Now I see some light in due.

Though now I am too tired

My feelings just too dried,

I can no longer go on with pride.

The light that I see no longer need

Thy memories is what I breed,

The only thing I myself can deed.

The only path that I know

The only place that I grow,

My only way I always end up to flow.

Now without any feelings

I freely recall all our dealings,

Slowly I write it down as my keepings.

I am lost because of you

Yet it is you inspired me with clue,

Our story is what I always brew.

And now this is my farewell

The thing I always wanted to spell,

'Goodbye' - as I will continue well.

Jr.

Despair

 

For how long will I survive?

From the depths of my despair,

How long will I revive?

Or will I be able be repair?

I don't know the answers

And I am completely drowning,

I don't even know any prayers

That can save me from my ending.

I try to swim up as I can

Still I continue to go down,

Deep into the deepest ocean

I am lost and drown.

I begin to lose my life

Gradually I begin to fade,

The suffocation cuts deep like a knife

Until I only see darkness in shade.

Two Riddles

 1st – 

'It is storage not a place. Keep everything safe yet can be lost or be erase. Can be accurate or inaccurate that holds the key without a key of the past, present and future. What is it that you want to hold yet cannot hold?'

2nd – 

'The developer and the destroyer, a part of our lives which we live and progress, to gradually remember and gradually forgotten as it existed. What is it?'

Jr.

To Our Beloved

 

You came so little,

Yet you became a big part of us.

With your every little steps,

You brought us the largest footprints to our hearts.

You became our little child,

Give us joy, laughter and became a great part of our family.

You cherish us and love us,

And we do care, cherish and love you more than ourselves.

Yet the time with you is not enough,

As your time is not the same as us.

The little time you have,

Given us the bigger part of our lives.

Now we do hope we given enough everything you need,

Our care and love for the times you were here.

And soon enough,

Even from beyond we will meet again.

To our beloved fur children,

We still miss you all and love you even more.

S I X T Y

 

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.

Jr.

'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.

 

Jr.

 

 

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.

 

Jr.

 

... 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.
